[Development of Multifunctional and Multipoint Fixed Support Drainage Device for Digestive Tract].

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Surgical Innovation
• Medical Device Development

Context:

• Gastrointestinal surgery and interventional procedures require reliable drainage solutions.
• Existing drainage devices may present challenges in fixation and removal.
• The need for improved perioperative safety and efficacy in digestive tract interventions is critical.

Purpose:

• To develop and evaluate a multifunctional and multipoint fixed support drainage device for the digestive tract.
• To assess the device's efficacy and safety in animal experimental models and human patients.
• To provide a secure and controllable drainage option for complex gastrointestinal procedures.

Summary:

• A novel multifunctional and multipoint fixed support drainage device for the digestive tract was successfully designed and developed.
• The device utilizes metal flaps and airbags for secure multi-point fixation and features cuffs and shears for endoscopic removal.
• Application in animal models and patients demonstrated reduced drainage fluid amylase levels, accelerated amylase recovery, and enhanced perioperative safety.

Impact:

• The developed support drainage device offers simple operation, firm fixation, and controlled removal, making it a valuable tool in gastrointestinal surgery.
• This innovation enhances patient safety and potentially improves recovery times.
• It represents an ideal choice for surgeons performing gastrointestinal interventions requiring robust support and drainage.
