Abstract

The application discloses a medical hollow tube positioning and marking device and belongs to the technical field of breast tumor marking. The device comprises a head, a fixing ring, an inner core, a hollow flexible tube and a needle cylinder. The fixing ring is fixed at intervals on the hollow flexible tube to form a long chain. The head is fixed at the head end of the long chain to form a marking body. The inner core penetrates into the hollow flexible tube to the head end to push the marking body to move in the needle cylinder. The front end of the needle cylinder is provided with a needle part. After puncture, the needle cylinder and the inner core are used to push the head outward and the marking body is pushed out and positioned. The marking body exposed outside is cut off. Multi-directional marking is used to form stereoscopic, linear and visual positioning. The marking body can be freely bent and is not easy to be cut off and displaced. The risk of infection or accidental injury caused by a traditional positioning steel wire is reduced. Breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy only need to be positioned and marked once and do not need to bear the secondary trauma of steel wire positioning again after traditional marking clamp marking.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of breast tumor marker, in particular to a medical hollow tube positioning marker device. BACKGROUND

[0002] For small volume benign and malignant breast tumors, it is difficult to touch, and usually the barbed positioning wire is used to penetrate into the tumor for positioning under the guidance of preoperative or intraoperative ultrasound, and then the tumor is removed. For palpable breast cancer, the tumor is usually removed by local expansion according to the tactile sensation of the surgeon's hand (i.e. local expansion of breast cancer or breast conserving surgery), but there are problems of too small resection range, high positive rate of incision margin, or too large resection range, too much normal gland removed, and thus affecting the postoperative appearance.

[0003] For patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, the tumor may shrink or even disappear during chemotherapy. Currently, to mark the tumor position, a marker clip is usually placed at the center or periphery of the tumor before chemotherapy, or a body surface projection tattoo is performed to mark the tumor position and range, so as to facilitate accurate tumor resection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast conserving surgery. The traditional method usually requires the positioning of the barbed wire under the guidance of preoperative or intraoperative ultrasound to position the marker clip, complete the positioning of the tumor, and finally perform breast conserving surgery with the barbed wire and marker clip as a reference.

[0004] The positioning of the barbed wire and the marker clip for breast tumor requires ultrasound guidance. The barbed wire or the marker clip is located in the needle cylinder. After the front end of the puncture needle reaches the target area (the center or periphery of the tumor), the barbed wire or the marker clip is pushed out of the needle cylinder, and the barbed wire or the marker clip can be fixed to the target area.

[0005] The traditional treatment method currently has the following problems: 1. For small tumor positioning and resection, after the barbed wire completes the marking, the exposed part of the wire on the body surface may contact non-sterile objects. If the exposed wire is not thoroughly disinfected during surgery, it may cause wound contamination; 2. If the wire is positioned before surgery, the patient may experience local pain and discomfort during the waiting period before entering the operating room for surgery; 3. If not properly protected, the barbed needle structure at the end or front end of the positioning wire may cause injury to medical personnel, and the positioning wire may cause further damage to the patient if it shifts to a deeper position; 4. The marker clip is marked before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the positioning wire needs to be inserted again under the guidance of ultrasound before surgery to position the marker clip. The patient needs to undergo two positioning marks; 5. For calcified lesions, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the positioning marker clip and the calcified lesion under ultrasound, causing positioning difficulties or inaccuracy; 6. The marker clip is a point marker, and the breast gland has a certain degree of activity at different depths, which cannot complete accurate three-dimensional marking; 7. The fixation is not firm, and sometimes the barbed wire may be pulled out during surgery.

[0006] Therefore, in order to facilitate the complete placement of the marker in the body, meet the high requirement of breast gland activity on the flexibility of the marker, complete the stereotactic positioning of the tumor through one-time puncture, reduce the infection probability and the probability of accidental damage of the medical staff and the patient, and improve the stereoscopic, accuracy and visibility of the tumor position or range marking, a medical hollow tube positioning and marking device is provided. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a medical hollow tube positioning and marking device to solve the problem that the conventional positioning and marking method exposes the steel wire part outside the body after marking, which may increase the risk of wound infection, the steel wire needle and barb structure may cause accidental injury of the medical staff or the patient, and the positioning effect of the positioning clamp is poor, the ultrasound with calcification is difficult to distinguish, and the patient needs to use the steel wire needle for positioning again after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, causing secondary trauma.
