Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetic navigation-guided tear-away sheath for cardiac conduction bundle pacing, including a sheath body and a joint fixedly connected to a rear end of the sheath body. The sheath body includes a front flexible section and a rear fixed section, and the front flexible section is freely bendable. An outer surface near a head end of the front flexible section is provided with a plurality of pairs of half-ring magnets, two half-ring magnets in each pair of half-ring magnets are symmetrically disposed and form a ring, and a gap is kept between the two half-ring magnets. The head end of the front flexible section is provided with three electrodes uniformly disposed in a circumferential direction, and the three electrodes can be freely combined two by two, to form three electrode pairs used to record and position an intracardiac potential.

Claims (9)

1. A magnetic navigation-guided tear-away sheath for cardiac conduction bundle pacing, comprising a sheath body and a joint fixedly connected to a rear end of the sheath body, a one-way anti-leak valve being provided inside the joint, and the sheath body being hollow inside, wherein the sheath body comprises a front flexible section and a rear fixed section that are integrally formed, and the front flexible section is freely bendable; an outer surface near a head end of the front flexible section is provided with a plurality of pairs of half-ring magnets, two half-ring magnets in each of the pairs of the half-ring magnets are symmetrically disposed and form a ring, and a gap for an incision knife to pass through is kept between the two half-ring magnets; the head end of the front flexible section is further provided with three electrodes uniformly disposed in a circumferential direction, the three electrodes are capable of being freely combined two by two, to form three electrode pairs, and the three electrode pairs are capable of recording three local double-electrode potentials of heart and are used to record and position an intracardiac potential; and each of the electrodes is connected to one of electrode leads, the electrode leads are embedded in a wall of the sheath body in a length direction of the sheath body, a position near a tail end of the sheath body is provided with an electrode tail interface, and one end of each of the electrode leads is fixedly disposed in the electrode tail interface.
