Background
In view of the flexibility and safety of the steerable catheter (hereinafter referred to as "catheter"), the catheter is widely used in various procedures for treating atrial fibrillation. When the catheter is used, the catheter needs to be placed into the inner cavity of the sheath tube and reaches the ablation target space of the left atrium along with the sheath tube. In the process, the self-contained bending of the sheath provides an initial bend towards the target ablation region, allowing the catheter to reach the predetermined region where the target ablation region is located. Then, the fit between the energy output end and the target ablation region needs to be realized through bending control of the catheter, and whether the fit state between the energy output end and the target ablation region is good or not directly determines the effect of the operation.
Existing steerable catheter tubes use a spring tube to provide support. Because the cross-section of the spring tube is circular, when the catheter needs to be bend-controlled, several situations can occur: 1) When the main body pipe is in a straight state for bending control, the spring pipe is easy to bend and deform under the tension of the bending control wire, so that the main body pipe is bent in a snake shape; 2) When bending control is carried out on the main body pipe in a bending state, the spring pipe can generate larger bending deformation under the action of the tension of the bending control wire, so that the main body pipe generates very serious snake-shaped bending; 3) When the bending state of the main body tube is not controlled, the bending of the spring tube causes the inner cavity of the spring tube to be narrowed. Under all three conditions, friction force which has certain negative influence on bending control is generated, so that the bending control cannot meet the requirement of the operation type.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, each support unit has a rectangular cross section, and end surfaces of two adjacent rectangular structures are abutted to form a surface contact form. During rotation, the surface-surface contact mode is converted into the line-surface contact mode, so that compared with the point-point contact mode in the prior art, the sliding is more difficult to occur and the size of the inner cavity is changed.

So that the embodiment can realize rotation of any angle, the rotation process of the spherical surface of the bearing with a stop gear (provided by the contact surface of the bearing) in each rotation direction can be referred to the rotation process of the arch structure, and the rotation process of the bearing can be referred to the rotation process of the rectangular structure, and the details are not described here.
Of course, the shape of the seat or the shape of the protrusion (groove) in the above embodiments may be changed according to different requirements, for example, a non-regular cross-sectional shape is adopted, but such a modified structure is within the scope of the present application.

In an embodiment, not shown in the drawings, the supporting units are stacked in sequence, the outer part of each supporting unit is wrapped by an outer skin, and the cross-sectional shape of each supporting unit is one or more of the cross-sectional shapes described in the embodiments. In this embodiment, other technical features except the above features are the same as those in the previous embodiment, and are not described herein again.

In the above embodiments, the supporting force is sequentially increased and the bending control characteristic is sequentially enhanced under three conditions (1. Bending control of the main body tube in a straight state; 2. Bending control of the main body tube in a bent state; and 3. Bending control of the main body tube in a bent state).
Furthermore, the invention also provides a steerable catheter, which comprises the support component suitable for the steerable catheter.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the large-enough cavity channel can be provided for the bending control wire under the condition that the catheter is bent, and meanwhile, the large-enough load can be borne, so that the bending control effect of the catheter is ensured;
2. due to point contact of the round spring, pretightening force needs to be preset in the production process, so that enough supporting force is provided in the subsequent bending control process;

A radio frequency ablation controllable bent catheter in the prior art is sequentially provided with a rotating handle, a main body tube and a head end tube from a near end to a far end; a cavity is arranged in the main body pipe, and a spring pipe assembly is arranged in the cavity; the spring tube component at least comprises a spring tube applied with pretightening force, and the spring tube is fixedly connected with the main tube; because the cross section of the spring wire of the spring tube in the prior art is circular (as shown in fig. 8A), a certain gap is formed between two adjacent spring wires to meet the supporting and bending functions of the main tube; in addition, in order to enhance the strength of the main body tube, the prior art also arranges a reinforced tube in the main body tube, and at the moment, the spring tube is fixedly connected with the reinforced tube; or, in the prior art, a protective sleeve (for example, a polyimide tube) is bonded outside the spring tube to which the pre-tightening force is applied, and the protective sleeve is fixedly connected with the main tube or the reinforcing tube; the head tube is provided with at least one eccentric hole, and the far end is provided with a head electrode; the head electrode is generally a blind via structure.
The catheter also comprises a bending control wire, one end of the bending control wire is fixedly connected with the rotating handle, and the other end of the bending control wire penetrates through the cavity of the main body tube and is fixedly connected with the inner side wall of the head end tube or the inner side wall of the head electrode; when the rotating handle rotates, the bending control wire can be pulled to move towards the direction of the rotating handle, so that the bending control wire can generate a pulling force towards the direction of the rotating handle; because the head end pipe is provided with the eccentric hole, when the rotating handle rotates, the bending control wire can pull the head end pipe to bend towards the direction of the eccentric hole.
The structure needs of spring tube subassembly, can enough realize that the side bend of head end pipe realizes controlling the bending, can provide sufficient radial holding power again for the main part pipe and make the pipe control under arbitrary state and bend and can both make the bending type reach anticipated effect, if the pretightning force of spring tube subassembly is too big can lead to the spring tube snakelike bending to appear (like the position that the arrow pointed in fig. 8B), if the pretightning force of spring tube subassembly is too little can lead to unable completion to control the bending (exert and control the power that the bending was carried out to the accuse curved silk, will accomplish the deformation of spring tube earlier and accomplish again and control the bending, still can't control the bending and lead to unable completion to control the bending if the pretightning force is too little can lead to exerting when great accuse bending power).
When bending is controlled, an operator applies a pushing force F towards the head end pipe (upwards) to the handle core, the handle core changes the direction of the pushing force, so that the bending control wire is subjected to a pulling force F towards the handle core (downwards), and the head end pipe is bent after being pulled by the downward pulling force F provided by the bending control wire and gradually forms a set bending shape; assuming that the friction force between the bending control wire and the inner cavity of the head end pipe is F, and the bent head end pipe applies downward pressure F2 to the spring pipe and the main pipe, F2= F-F; the positions of the spring tube and the main tube corresponding to the region where the head end tube is bent and the positions of the spring tube and the main tube corresponding to the radially opposite region of the region are different in magnitude, wherein the spring tube provides an upward supporting force F1, the main tube provides an upward supporting force F3, and the spring tube and the main tube are combined to resist the F2, namely: f2= F1+ F3, so that the proximal end of the head end tube can still be fixed to the distal end of the main tube and the distal end of the head end tube realizes the bending;
the main tube and the spring tube are pressed downwards together by F2, the spring tube provides an upward supporting force F1, the main tube provides an upward supporting force F3, and the spring tube and the main tube are combined to resist F2, namely: f2= F1+ F3, the main tube is not bent, the spring tube compresses and applies a downward pressure F1 to the handle core;
the compressed spring tube applies a downward pressure F1 to the handle core, and the friction inside the handle core can just counterbalance F1.
Supposing that the crushing pressure of the spring tube is delta F;
if deltaF is less than F1, the main body pipe needs to provide larger supporting force, and the spring pipe and the main body pipe can resist downward pressure F2 applied by the head end pipe together; the spring tube is stressed to be close to the crushing pressure, the spring tube can generate bending deformation, and the bending control wire can be contacted with the spring tube to generate friction force; the main body pipe is stressed greatly and can generate snake-shaped bends with large deformation; under the influence of friction force and large serpentine bending, bending cannot be controlled;
if delta F is more than F1 and delta F is less than F3, the stress of the spring tube approaches to the crushing pressure, the spring tube can generate bending deformation, and the bending control wire can be contacted with the spring tube to generate friction force; and the main pipe may have slight snake-shaped bending due to stress; under the influence of friction force and serpentine bending, bending control can be influenced, so that bending control cannot be achieved;
if delta F is larger than F1 and delta F is larger than F3, the stress of the spring tube is smaller than the crushing pressure, the spring tube has no bending deformation, the main tube is hardly stressed and cannot be bent in a snake shape, the contact between the spring tube and the bending control wire is small, at the moment, the bending control wire can provide the bending control force of the head end tube in the tube cavity of the spring tube with the minimum friction loss, and the bending control effect is best. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments and the scope of the invention, and all the equivalent components, or equivalent changes and modifications made according to the protection scope of the present invention should be covered by the present patent. In addition, the technical features, the technical schemes and the technical schemes can be freely combined and used.
