Palpation probe

Abstract

The invention provides a palpation probe. The palpation probe comprises a probe main body, a probe handle, and a pressure sensor matrix positioned on the probe main body, wherein the probe main body is inserted in the human cavity for sensing the hardness, size, shape and appearance of the lesions of tissues on the inner wall of the human cavity and the periphery thereof, and the information is transmitted to an external display instrument through a cable; the device is further provided with an LED light source and a camera, through the camera, the diseased region and appearance inside the human cavity can be observed in real time, therefore, the device can be used for improving the correct diagnostic rate and diagnosis and treatment effects for the lesions of the tissues of the human cavity and the periphery thereof, such as prostatic cancer and rectal carcinoma, and meanwhile, the technical problem that the observation can not be carried out in real time during the rectal carcinoma tactus is also solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a palpation probe, which can detect the hardness, size, shape and appearance of pathological changes in the inner wall of a cavity and its surrounding tissues, and belongs to the technical field of medical device production. Background technique [0002] The diagnosis of human diseases is based on the summary and analysis of disease information. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, disease diagnosis methods include inspection and palpation, especially for solid tumors of human tissues, where palpation and inspection are particularly important. Taking rectal palpation as an example, anorectal palpation, which has a long history, is a practical and convenient method to check the rectal adjacent organs, such as appendix, prostate and uterus. For example, the anorectal palpation examination does not require any auxiliary equipment. During the examination, the operator wears a finger cot, and uses the inde...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, anorectal palpation requires the operator to have many years of clinical examination experience, and the operator's subjective factors have a great influence on the results, and inserting fingers into the human rectum is not hygienic, and it will also cause embarrassment for doctors and patients

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of anorectal palpation, medical device developers urgently need to develop a palpation probe, which can not only objectively and accurately detect the hardness, size, shape, appearance, etc. of the human rectal wall and its lower surrounding tissues, etc. Lesion information can also avoid the embarrassment of medical staff finger palpation
