Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a bipolar radiofrequency electrode for bone tumor surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Primary spinal tumors are relatively rare, with an annual incidence rate of 2.5–8.5 per 100,000, accounting for less than 5% of all spinal tumors, and benign tumors are the most common. In my country, benign tumors account for 61% of primary spinal tumor patients, with common types including hemangiomas, schwannomas, and osteochondromas. Surgical resection is the main method for treating primary spinal tumors. Traditional open surgery for spinal tumors has disadvantages such as significant trauma, long operation time, large amount of bleeding, slow postoperative recovery, and numerous complications.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of minimally invasive concepts and the continuous advancement of minimally invasive instruments, spinal tumor surgery is gradually becoming more minimally invasive in terms of surgical approaches and procedures. Endoscopic tubular musculoskeletal tumor surgery (ETMS) is being applied to treat musculoskeletal tumors. The core of this technique involves establishing an endoscopic channel through a dilating catheter, then dissecting soft tissue under the microscope to create an artificial cavity; subsequently, the saline medium relied upon for spinal endoscopy is removed to prevent tumor dissemination; tumor curettage is performed under the channel; after tumor removal, the incision is further irrigated, a negative pressure drainage tube is inserted, and the incision is sutured layer by layer.

[0004] However, problems such as bony hemorrhage and multiple soft tissue hemorrhages often occur after tumor resection. Bone wax sealing can effectively control bony hemorrhage. How to inhibit multiple soft tissue hemorrhages while minimizing soft tissue damage is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved during surgery. Utility Model Content

The insulating head located at the first and second strip electrodes has several suction holes that communicate with the suction tube. Several water outlet holes communicating with the water outlet channel are provided on both sides of the distal end of the outer steel tube. The cable assembly includes a cable connected to the first and second strip electrode wires, a drip tube communicating with the water outlet channel, and a negative pressure tube communicating with the suction tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the insulating head includes a socket portion that is sealed and inserted into the distal end of the outer steel pipe. The socket portion is provided with a connecting hole that communicates with a plurality of suction holes, and the distal end of the suction tube is sealed and connected to the connecting hole.

[0009] Furthermore, arc-shaped recesses are provided on both sides of the socket, and a gap space is formed between the arc-shaped recesses and the outer steel pipe to connect the water outlet channel and several water outlet holes.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the side wall at the far end of the outer steel pipe, and the first strip electrode and the second strip electrode are disposed on the socket located in the guide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second strip electrodes are provided with several arched portions that are recessed on the inside and protruding on the outside in the extending direction, and the ports of several suction holes are respectively provided on the inner side of several arched portions.

[0012] Furthermore, the extension directions of the first and second strip electrodes are parallel to the extension direction of the outer steel pipe, and both the first and second strip electrodes are spaced apart from the side wall of the guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide tip is provided at the front end of the insulating head.

[0014] Furthermore, an insulating layer is fitted onto the outer steel pipe.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This approach uses a bipolar radiofrequency electrode with a multi-convex structure to stop bleeding at multiple soft tissue bleeding points after bone tumor resection, which can effectively reduce tissue damage, ensure surgical safety, and reduce surgical risks.

[0017] 2. This method allows physiological saline to be sequentially led to the blade tip through the drip tube, water outlet channel, and water outlet hole, and then collected in the guide groove, so that the first and second strip electrodes are effectively wrapped by physiological saline, thereby ensuring the plasma excitation efficiency.
