Abstract

A medical apparatus system ( 1000 ) is provided, including a medical apparatus ( 100 ) and a fixing plate ( 900 ) for fixing the medical apparatus ( 100 ). A fixing member ( 901, 902, 903, 1003, 1004 ) is formed by cutting along a trajectory ( 904 ) on the fixing plate ( 900 ); the fixing member ( 901, 902, 903, 1003, 1004 ) includes a free end ( 908, 9031, 10032, 10042 ) and a connection end ( 907, 9035, 10031, 10041 ); the connection end ( 907, 9035, 10031, 10041 ) is connected to a fixing plate body ( 990 ); the free end ( 908, 9031, 10032, 10042 ) can protrude from a plane at which the fixing plate body ( 990 ) is located. The fixing member ( 901, 902, 903, 1003, 1004 ) can surround an outer surface of the medical apparatus ( 100 ) to fix the medical apparatus ( 100 ); or the medical apparatus ( 100 ) can pass through the fixing member ( 901, 902, 903, 1003, 1004 ) and be fixed.

Claims (16)

1 . A medical apparatus system, comprising a medical apparatus having an outer surface, a distal end, and a proximal end, and a fixing plate for fixing the medical apparatus, wherein:

the fixing plate comprises a proximal fixing member, a fixing plate body, and a distal fixing member;

the distal fixing member includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member, each of the first fixing member and the second fixing member comprises a free end and a connection end;

the connection ends of the first fixing member and the second fixing member are connected to the fixing plate body;

the free ends of the first fixing member and the second fixing member protrude from a plane at which the fixing plate body is located, and each of the first fixing member and the second fixing member is formed by cutting along a trajectory on the fixing plate;

the first fixing member and the second fixing member are respectively located on both sides of the medical apparatus and together surround the outer surface of the medical apparatus, and the free ends of the first fixing member and the second fixing member are connected and fixed to each other to fix a portion of the medical apparatus near the distal end of the medical apparatus in a radial direction; and

the proximal fixing member includes a third fixing member which has a surface that includes a hole to enable the medical apparatus to pass through the hole and fix a portion of the medical apparatus near the proximal end of the medical apparatus in an axial direction through the hole.

2 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 1 , wherein the trajectory comprises a starting end and a terminating end; when an outer contour of the first fixing member overlaps the trajectory of the first fixing member on the fixing plate, the starting end rotates outwardly or inwardly with respect to the first fixing member to form a first arc; and the terminating end rotates outwardly or inwardly with respect to the first fixing member to form a second arc.

3 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 1 , wherein the trajectory comprises a starting end and a terminating end; when an outer contour of the second fixing member overlaps the trajectory of the second fixing member on the fixing plate, the starting end rotates outwardly or inwardly with respect to the second fixing member to form a first arc; and the terminating end rotates outwardly or inwardly with respect to the second fixing member to form a second arc.

4 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 1 , wherein the hole is a second hole, and the first fixing member and the second fixing member together define a first hole, and the medical apparatus passes through the first hole and the second hole in sequence.

5 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 4 , wherein there are two second holes, and the proximal end of the medical apparatus passes through the two second holes in sequence and is fixed.

6 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 5 , wherein the proximal fixing member also includes a third hole to accommodate the shape of the medical apparatus such that the medical apparatus is attached and fixed to the proximal fixing member.

7 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 5 , wherein a cut is arranged on the proximal fixing member, and at the cut position, the proximal fixing member bends along the cut; and the two second holes are located on either side of the cut of the proximal fixing member.

8 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixing member has a first fastener, and the second fixing member has a second fastener; the first fastener and the second fastener may be fastened and fixed with each other.

9 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 1 , wherein the medical apparatus comprises a delivery sheath tube; the delivery sheath tube comprises a tube body and a hand shank; a proximal end of the tube body is connected to the hand shank; and, the proximal fixing member fixes the proximal end of the hand shank and the distal fixing member fixes the distal end of the hand shank.

10 . The medical apparatus system according to claim 9 , wherein the delivery sheath tube is an adjustable curved sheath tube which further comprises a pull wire that is connected to the tube body and the hand shank.
