Abstract

A suction bottle for a thrombus aspirator is equipped with a thrombus trapping member that spreads so as to separate the inside of the bottle into an upper region and a lower region. The thrombus trapping member is provided with a plurality of through-holes that cause blood guided to the upper surface to flow down from the upper region to the lower region.

Claims (27)

1. A suction bottle for a thrombus aspirator comprising:

a thrombus trapping member that spreads so as to divide an inside of the bottle into an upper region and a lower region;

a plurality of through holes formed in the thrombus trapping member so that blood guided to an upper surface of the thrombus trapping member flows down from the upper region to the lower region via the through holes; and

a ventilation passage that allows a flow of air between the upper region and the lower region inside the bottle, the ventilation passage being provided at a position avoiding an inflow port of the blood in the upper region, wherein

the thrombus trapping member includes: a plate-shaped portion extending between the upper region and the lower region; and a tubular portion with a hollow inside that projects upward from the plate-shaped portion, and the ventilation passage is formed by the hollow inside of the tubular portion; and

the tubular portion projects upward from a center of the plate-shaped portion while the plate-shaped portion spreads around a bottom end of the tubular portion.

2. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the thrombus trapping member includes: a plate-shaped portion extending between the upper region and the lower region; and a peripheral vertical wall portion that rises upward at an outer peripheral portion of the plate-shaped portion.

3. The suction bottle according to claim 2 , wherein the peripheral vertical wall portion is formed by a cylindrical peripheral wall portion so that the thrombus trapping member is formed into a cup shape as a whole, and the thrombus trapping member is supported with respect to a bottle body at the upper opening portion of the peripheral wall portion.

4. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the thrombus trapping member is configured to be gripped by fingers by picking the tubular portion of the thrombus trapping member.

5. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the thrombus trapping member includes a plate-shaped portion extending between the upper region and the lower region, and at least one of the upper surface and a lower surface of the plate-shaped portion has an inclined portion inclined with respect to a horizontal direction.

6. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bottle housing of a closed structure for accommodating the thrombus trapping member, the bottle housing having a bottle body that opens upward and a bottle lid that covers an opening of the bottle body, wherein the bottle lid includes: a blood suction port to which a suction tube for sucking the blood into the inside of the bottle is connected; and a negative pressure action port to which a negative pressure tube for applying a suction pressure to the suction tube via the inside of the bottle is connected, the blood suction port and the negative pressure action port being provided at different positions on the bottle lid.

7. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bottle housing of a closed structure for accommodating the thrombus trapping member, the bottle housing having a bottle body that opens upward and a bottle lid that covers an opening of the bottle body, wherein the thrombus trapping member is supported by a sealing member that seals an assembly portion between the bottle body and the bottle lid, and the sealing member realizes a sealing of the assembled portion between the bottle body and the bottle lid regardless of a presence or absence of the thrombus trapping member.

8. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the thrombus trapping member is provided with a knob portion protruding to the upper region.

9. A thrombus aspirator comprising:

a thrombus aspirator main body provided with a negative pressure pump;

a suction bottle according to claim 1 , the suction bottle being detachably assembled to the thrombus aspirator main body; and

a negative pressure tube communicated with an inside of the suction bottle, the negative pressure tube being detachably connected to a negative pressure port of the negative pressure pump.

10. The thrombus aspirator according to claim 9 , wherein the thrombus aspirator main body includes a holding portion for holding the suction bottle in a state where a deepest portion of the inside of the suction bottle is located at a position at a height of ½ or more in a height direction of the thrombus aspirator main body.

11. The suction bottle according to claim 1 , further comprising a vacuum port, wherein the ventilation passage is separate from the vacuum port.

12. A suction bottle for a thrombus aspirator comprising:

a thrombus trapping member that spreads so as to divide an inside of the bottle into an upper region and a lower region;

a plurality of through holes formed in the thrombus trapping member so that blood guided to an upper surface of the thrombus trapping member flows down from the upper region to the lower region via the through holes;

a bottle housing of a closed structure for accommodating the thrombus trapping member, the bottle housing having a bottle body that opens upward and a bottle lid that covers an opening of the bottle body; and

a sealing member that seals an assembly portion between the bottle body and the bottle lid, the sealing member being formed independently from the thrombus trapping member, wherein

the sealing member includes a flange portion in an outer peripheral side, the flange portion being configured to be compressed between the bottle body and the bottle lid, and a support surface in an inner peripheral side, the support surface being configured to support the thrombus trapping member without being compressed between the bottle body and the bottle lid,

a supported part of the thrombus trapping member is supported by the support surface of the sealing member so that the thrombus trapping member is assembled within the bottle body, and

the sealing member realizes a sealing of the assembled portion between the bottle body and the bottle lid regardless of a presence or absence of the thrombus trapping member.
