[0002] At present, radioactive particle implantation is a common local radiotherapy method in tumor treatment. In clinical practice, small particles such as radioactive iodine-125 are usually accurately delivered into tumor tissues by a dedicated particle implant device to achieve continuous local irradiation. Although the existing technical solutions have achieved particle implantation operation to some extent, there are still obvious deficiencies in safety, stability and convenience.

[0003] In a typical structure, the particle loading cavity is usually a single-layer metal container, and the particles are directly stored in the cavity. Due to the lack of effective multi-layer shielding design, radiation leakage may occur when the particles are not released, resulting in unnecessary radiation exposure to the operator during operation and posing a safety hazard.

[0004] In terms of pushing mechanism, the existing implant device usually adopts a single push rod straight pushing structure, which relies on manual pushing of the push rod to complete particle delivery. This kind of structure is prone to problems such as unstable pushing force and poor precision control when implanting particles one by one, resulting in uneven particle implantation depth or inaccurate positioning.

[0005] In terms of operation mode, the particles of the existing device are usually filled in batches, and the loading assembly and the implant gun body are integrated, so that the particles need to be replaced or supplemented by disassembling the whole device, which is complex and time-consuming. Especially in a clinical environment, doctors need to quickly complete the one-by-one implantation of particles, but the existing device cannot achieve efficient particle switching and quick replacement, increasing the operation time and operation burden.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and obvious, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] It is understood that the above description is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0032] Some embodiments of the present application provide a tumor treatment radioactive particle protection implant device.

[0033] In combination with Figures 1-9 As shown in the drawings, the tumor treatment radioactive particle protection implant device provided by the present application comprises an implant gun body 100, a puncture needle 200, a loading assembly 300 and a push rod 210 matched with the puncture needle 200.

One end of the implant gun body 100 is provided with a connecting buckle matched with the end of the puncture needle 200, for realizing quick assembly and disassembly of the puncture needle 200.

[0035] The trigger 110 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the implant gun body 100, and the fixed block 130 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the implant gun body 100. The moving block 140 is slidably mounted on the inner side of the implant gun body 100, the fixed block 130 and the moving block 140 are oppositely arranged, and the two ends are respectively connected with the elastic members 150 for ensuring the reset of the moving block 140. The inner sides of the fixed block 130 and the moving block 140 are respectively provided with the meshing teeth 141, forming the one-way limiting action on the push rod 210.

[0036] The guide cylinder 120 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the implant gun body 100 and located on both sides of the loading assembly 300. The push rod 210 penetrates the inner sides of the fixed block 130, the moving block 140 and the loading assembly 300, and enters the inner side of the puncture needle 200 through the guide cylinder 120, for pushing the radioactive particles into the tumor tissue.

[0037] One end of the trigger 110 is rotatably connected with the connecting rod 111, and the sliding ear 112 fixed to the inner side of the moving block 140 is slidably mounted on the inner side of the implant gun body 100. The two ends of the connecting rod 111 are respectively rotatably connected with the trigger 110 and the sliding ear 112. In the deflection movement process of the trigger 110, the sliding ear 112 and the moving block 140 are driven to realize the linear sliding relative to the fixed block 130, thereby pushing the push rod 210 to move along the direction of the puncture needle 200.

[0038] The loading assembly 300 comprises the bullet magazine 310 and the rotating wheel 320 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the bullet magazine 310. The bullet magazine 310 is provided with the shielding guard plate 330 on both sides, for shielding the radiation of the unreleased radioactive particles.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of loading grooves are evenly arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating wheel 320, each of which is used for accommodating one radioactive iodine-125 particle. The shielding guard plate 330 is provided with a through hole, and the loading groove and the through hole are switched to be in alignment when the rotating wheel 320 rotates. When the loading assembly 300 and the implant gun body 100 are in the connected state, the through hole is connected with the port of the guide cylinder 120 on the inner side of the implant gun body 100, thereby ensuring that the particles can smoothly enter the inner side of the puncture needle 200 under the pushing of the push rod 210.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cartridge 310 and the shielding plate 330 adopt a multi-layer structure of tungsten alloy or lead-based composite shielding material, and are coated with medical stainless steel or polycarbonate coating on the outer surface.

The surface of the fixed block 130 and the movable block 140 is provided with a through hole for the push rod 210 to penetrate, and a V-shaped elastic ear-shaped tooth 141 is arranged on both sides of the through hole. When the push rod 210 moves in the forward direction, the tooth 141 is elastically deformed under the force to allow the tooth 141 to pass through, and when the push rod 210 has a back-off tendency, the tooth 141 is engaged and locked with the tooth groove, thereby preventing the reverse sliding of the push rod 210 and ensuring the one-way stability of the implantation process.

[0042] In this embodiment, the elastic member 150 is a spring sheet or a spiral spring, which is respectively installed at both ends of the fixed block 130 and the movable block 140. The elastic member 150 is compressed when the push rod 210 advances, and can provide a reset elastic force after the trigger 110 is released, so that the movable block 140 returns to the initial position, ensuring the reliability of continuous operation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the guide cylinder 120 is a double sleeve structure, which is fixedly installed inside the implantation gun body 100 and located on both sides of the loading assembly 300. The double sleeve structure can enhance the stability of the guide, avoid the shaking of the push rod 210 during movement, and ensure that the radioactive particles can accurately enter the puncture needle 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 111 is a connecting rod sheet structure, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected with the trigger 110 and the sliding ear 112 through a pin shaft. The connecting point of the connecting rod 111 and the trigger 110 is intentionally offset from the axis of the connecting point of the trigger 110 and the inside of the implantation gun body 100, forming a mechanical deflection structure, thereby improving the linear driving force of the movable block 140. The inside of the implantation gun body 100 is provided with a sliding groove for guiding the sliding direction of the movable block 140 and the sliding ear 112 relative to the fixed block 130, ensuring the movement accuracy.

The end of the puncture needle 200 is provided with a detachable fastener structure, which is connected with the end of the implantation gun body 100, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly, and ensure the replaceability and safety in the surgical environment.

[0046] In this embodiment, the shaft center of the rotating wheel 320 is provided with a rotating shaft rod 321, which penetrates the bullet carrier 310 and is provided with a hand crank at one end, facilitating manual rotation operation. The surface of the rotating wheel 320 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the inner side of the bullet carrier 310 is provided with elastic positioning pins arranged opposite to the positioning holes. Each positioning hole corresponds to a loading groove of the rotating wheel 320, and when the rotating wheel 320 rotates, the positioning pin is clamped into the corresponding positioning hole, so that the accurate positioning of each radioactive particle loading groove is realized, the error accumulation is avoided, and the stability of each implantation is ensured.

[0048] During operation, the push rod 210 penetrates the guide cylinder 120 and enters the inside of the puncture needle 200, and the reciprocating motion of the driving block 140 relative to the fixed block 130 is driven by the trigger 110. Under the clamping action of the meshing tooth ear 141, the push rod 210 realizes stable one-way linear pushing, and the aligned radioactive particles are sent one by one into the inside of the puncture needle 200, and finally implanted into the tumor site. The structure of the meshing tooth ear 141 can prevent the reverse movement of the push rod 210 during the retreat process, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of particle implantation.
