Application of Digestive Tract Catheters in Interventional Therapy

Application of Digestive Tract Catheters in Interventional Therapy

Digestive tract catheters are indispensable tools in interventional therapy, widely used in the treatment of digestive tract strictures and bleeding. With advances in technology, both the design and materials of these catheters have continuously evolved, offering patients more efficient and safer treatment options.

Types of Digestive Tract Catheters

• Biliary Catheters
  Primarily used to treat biliary strictures or obstructions, such as those caused by cholangiocarcinoma or gallstone disease. The new generation of biliary catheters utilizes nitinol, a material known for its excellent elasticity and strength, enabling smooth navigation through narrowed bile ducts.

• Esophageal Stent Catheters
  Employed in the dilation treatment for esophageal cancer or postoperative strictures. The innovative design of these catheters has improved the stent release mechanism, ensuring that the stent deploys stably in the correct position and reducing the risks of migration and complications.

• Gastric and Intestinal Tubes
  Used for drainage and nutritional support, especially for patients after digestive tract surgeries. Modern tubes are made from soft, transparent materials, which enhance both patient comfort and operational convenience.

Advances in Catheter Materials

• Nitinol:
  Exhibiting superelasticity and shape-memory properties, nitinol can adapt to the complex anatomical structures of the digestive tract and return to its original form after deployment.

• Medical-Grade Polymers:
  Improvements in these materials have enhanced the biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties of the catheters, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative infections.

Continuous advancements in digestive tract catheter technology have made interventional treatments of the digestive system safer and more efficient. By understanding the design features and application scenarios of various catheters, medical teams can better formulate treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.
