Description
Implantable device Filter for lumen Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of implanted medical instruments, in particular to an intraluminal implant, and particularly relates to a vena cava filter. Background Implanted medical devices are medical devices that can be left in the body for a short or long period of time, are used to support and sustain life, are potentially dangerous to the human body, and must be tightly controlled for their safety and effectiveness. Expandable implantable medical devices such as vascular stents, vena cava filters, occluders, ventricular volume reduction devices and the like can be implanted into a human body cavity through interventional procedures by being compressed to a very small volume, and after the compressed devices are released and expanded at a required position in the body, the treatment effect is realized, such as expanding, supporting, blocking, volume reduction or preventing circulation of thrombus and the like in blood vessels, body cavities and the like. Whether temporarily placed for a short period of time or implanted for a long period of time or for a lifetime, stringent requirements are placed on the shape of the implanted compression device after release expansion in the body, e.g. the longitudinal long axis of the implant should generally remain in the center of the implanted body cavity, i.e. the implant has good neutrality, which may otherwise lead to reduced or lost function of the implant. However, good neutrality may be difficult to achieve. A typical case is a parachute-type vena cava Filter such as Gunther Tulip TM Filter and Celect TM Filter sold by William Cook company, related documents such as US5324304A, CN101031254A. The filter is mainly formed by arranging or weaving an elongated support body to form a self-expanding umbrella-shaped body filtering part so as to prevent thrombus in veins from passing through the filter, wherein at least one end of the elongated support body is assembled at the central position of the umbrella-shaped body, and a release or recovery part, such as a recovery hook, is usually arranged at the central position and is used for releasing or recovering the umbrella-shaped body in cooperation with a recovery device such as a sheath tube. The parachute-shaped vena cava filter lacks effective limit near the recovery hook, and the probability of filter inclination during and during filter implantation is high. The filter inclination is defined as the included angle of the filter longitudinal axis and the central longitudinal axis of the vena cava >15 degrees, and serious filter inclination causes that the recovery hooks are attached to or adhered to the wall of the inferior vena cava, umbrella-shaped expansion is uneven, and serious events such as incapacity of the filter, reduced thrombus filtering effect, perforation and the like are caused. The reasons for the filter inclination may be related to factors such as the main vein pulsation, gastrointestinal motility, the anatomy of the inferior vena cava itself, and the location of the filter placement. Improved filter arrangements have been disclosed, for example in patent publications US20100049239A1, WO2018120414A1, CN105193521A, CN102470028A, which add a stop mechanism near the recovery hooks, with the effect of improving filter tilting, improving neutrality. However, these improved filter constructions still have drawbacks, such as the fact that the spacing means are usually constituted by rods provided on the filter, which, when provided in a longer or greater number, contributes to an improved neutrality effect, while at the same time significantly increasing the difficulty of releasing the filter, in particular, the greater the number of rods, which lead to a more complex control and adjustment of the release attitude of the filter, the greater the deviation in position of the rods released first, which may lead to an amplified deviation in position of the rods released later, and the greater the axial distance of the two rods along the filter, which is more unavoidable. In another typical case, when the delivery sheath for loading the filter is not coaxial with the lumen of the vein, the extension space of the rod in each direction when released from the delivery sheath into the lumen of the vein is different, and the probability of lateral deflection or release of morphological abnormality of the rod near the inner wall of the lumen is higher. These conditions can lead to tilting of the filter or uneven spatial distribution of the rods of the filter within the venous lumen, which can ultimately lead to failure of the filter to recover, reduced effectiveness in filtering thrombi, and various complications. In addition, the filter has more rods, which cause an increase in resistance when it is released from the sheath, and the release operation in the body cavity will have difficulty in using a large force due to its fineness, further resul
