[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0023] According to Figure 1 , the potential guiding intrathecal implant catheter real-time positioning system 100 comprises a positioning electrode plate 1, a potential guiding instrument 2 and a guide wire body 3 connected electrically. The positioning electrode plate 1 is arranged on the patient's body, the guide wire body 3 is inserted into the human body, and the two are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the potential guiding instrument 2 respectively, and a closed loop is formed under the conductive communication of the body fluid of the human body.
[0024] The positioning electrode plate 1 comprises a sticky adhesive tape 11 pasted on the patient's body and a plurality of electrode pieces 12 arranged on the sticky adhesive tape; the sticky adhesive tape 11 is a sticky silicon adhesive tape, and conductive paste is applied between the sticky silicon adhesive tape and the skin during use, so as to reduce the contact resistance. The number of the electrode pieces is 13, and each positioning electrode piece corresponds to a protrusion or a recess of a vertebra, so that the positioning electrode piece can prevent falling and realize previous positioning during catheter implantation.
[0025] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the potential guide instrument 2 is approximately a cuboid, comprising a shell 21, a handle 22 arranged at the top of the shell for convenient carrying, a positive electrode 23, a negative electrode 24, a current change display 25, a voltage regulator 26 and a current regulator 27 arranged on the front end face, and a current signal receiver 28, a signal amplifier 29 and a controller arranged inside.
[0026] The shell 21 is made of plastic or stainless steel; the positive electrode 23 and the negative electrode 24 are respectively connected to the positioning electrode plate 1 and the guide wire body 3 as connection ports, so as to realize the electrical connection of the potential guide instrument 2 and the positioning electrode plate 1 and the guide wire body 3. The current change display 25 can be a sensitive ammeter or an electronic digital display, the sensitive ammeter realizes current change indication through the deflection degree of a pointer, and the electronic digital display realizes current change indication through the real-time display of current value; in the specific embodiment of the utility model, the sensitive ammeter is selected.
[0027] The voltage regulator 26 and the current regulator 27 are used for regulating the output voltage of the guide wire body, different potential differences between the probe and the positioning electrode pieces are set according to the individual physical differences of different patients, so as to regulate different current parameters flowing through the human body, obtain different sensitive ammeter driving currents, make the deflection angle of the sensitive ammeter pointer more sensitive, and improve the positioning accuracy.
[0028] The current signal receiver 28 receives the current value of the guide wire body 3 during the movement in the body in real time, the signal amplifier 29 simultaneously amplifies the current value by a predetermined ratio, and displays the current value through the current change display 25.
[0029] The guide wire body 3 comprises an insulating sleeve 31 and a metal guide wire 32 arranged in the insulating sleeve 31. The insulating sleeve 31 is closed at both ends, and a plurality of through holes 311 are arranged on the side wall of the front end portion; the head end of the metal guide wire 32 is exposed, and the remaining portion is covered by a paint coating layer 321, that is, the portion outside the head end of the metal guide wire is insulated, and only the head end metal wire is exposed.
[0030] Preferably, the insulating sleeve 31 is a silica gel sleeve, and a plurality of through holes 311 are arranged on the sidewall of the silica gel sleeve. Silica gel is a commonly used material in the medical field, and has high biocompatibility, and is suitable for implantation in the body. The through holes serve as body fluid inflow holes, and connect the positioning electrode plate outside the body and the guide wire body inside the body to form a closed loop, and generate a potential difference between the two.
[0031] In the fixing aspect, the head and tail ends of the metal guide wire 32 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the silica gel sleeve, and the tail end portion is provided with an electrode connecting head, which is connected with the electrode of the potential guiding instrument.
[0032] The use method or principle of the real-time positioning system of the potential guiding intrathecal implantation catheter in the utility model is as follows:
[0033] In combination with Figure 3 The positioning electrode plate 1 is pasted on the posterior spine of the patient along the longitudinal direction of the human body. In order to reduce the contact resistance, conductive paste needs to be applied between the positioning electrode plate and the skin. According to the needs, each positioning electrode sheet can correspond to the protrusions or depressions of the spine.
[0034] The guide wire body 3 and the positioning electrode plate 1 are respectively connected with the negative electrode and the positive electrode, and the head end of the guide wire body is inserted into the human spine from the incision. The body fluid of the human body flows into the sleeve and the metal guide wire through the through holes on the insulating sleeve 31 of the guide wire body. The body fluid of the human body is a conductor. In this way, a fixed potential difference exists between the metal probe and the positioning electrode plate outside the body, and the current loop is formed by the body fluid of the human body.
[0035] When the head end of the guide wire body gradually approaches the first electrode sheet, the amount of body fluid through which the current flows decreases (i.e. the resistance becomes smaller), and the current gradually increases. When the head end of the guide wire body travels to the position below the positioning electrode plate, the human body resistance is the smallest, and the output current is the largest. The change amount of the current is sampled and amplified by the potential guiding instrument, the angle of deflection of the sensitive ammeter pointer is the largest, which indicates that the position of the guide wire head is just below the first positioning electrode sheet, thereby realizing the real-time and accurate positioning of the guide wire head. Similarly, the guide wire head is continuously pushed forward, and in the process of traveling to the second positioning electrode, the potential guiding instrument output current will also change from small to large. The potential guiding instrument amplifies the changed current, and drives the sensitive ammeter pointer to deflect. When the deflection angle of the sensitive ammeter pointer is the largest, it indicates that the position of the guide wire head is just below the second positioning electrode sheet. In this way, the accurate positioning of the guide wire head position of all positioning electrode sheet positions can be realized.
[0036] The utility model overcomes the problems that the position of the catheter needs to be repeatedly adjusted by fluoroscopy, real-time monitoring cannot be realized, and the development quality is not high during the intrathecal infusion system implantation process, improves the operation precision and efficiency, and reduces the X-ray exposure amount of the patient.
[0037] The preferred embodiments of the utility model have been specifically explained above, but the utility model is not limited to the embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the utility model, and these equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the range defined by the claims of the application.
