[0022] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present application provides a nodule positioning needle, which comprises a positioning needle tube 1 and a push rod 2, the rear end of the positioning needle tube 1 is provided with a needle tube seat 3, the needle tube seat 3 is provided with a through hole in communication with the positioning needle tube 1, the front end of the push rod 2 extends into the positioning needle tube 1 through the through hole on the needle tube seat 3, the front end of the push rod 2 is provided with a positioning assembly 4 in the positioning needle tube 1, the positioning assembly 4 comprises a positioning rope 41, a limiting sleeve 42 and a spring 43, the limiting sleeve 42 is provided with a insertion hole, the outer diameter of the spring 43 is greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole, the front end of the positioning rope 41 passes through the limiting sleeve 42 below the insertion hole and then passes through the inner hole of the spring 43 and then passes out of the limiting sleeve 42 above the insertion hole, the rear end of the positioning rope 41 below the insertion hole is provided with a first limiting knot 44 for limiting the upward movement of the positioning rope 41, the front end of the positioning rope 41 below the limiting sleeve 42 extends out of the push rod 2, the front end of the positioning rope 41 is pulled, the spring 43 forms a ring shape to realize positioning.
[0023] Through the design of the positioning assembly 4, the positioning needle tube 1 is inserted into the position of the nodule needing treatment, the push rod 2 pushes out the positioning assembly 4, the front end of the push rod 2 abuts against the limiting sleeve 42, at this time, the positioning rope 41 extending out of the push rod 2 is pulled, because of the limiting effect of the first limiting knot 45 on the rear end of the positioning rope 41, the positioning rope 41 drives the spring 43 to bend and move, until the upper end of the spring 43 is pulled to the limiting sleeve 42, because the outer diameter of the spring 43 is greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole, the spring 43 is clamped above the limiting sleeve 42 to form a ring-shaped spring, at this time, if the push rod 2 is pulled out of the positioning needle tube 1, the positioning rope 41 will be pulled out of the positioning needle tube 1, and the spring 43 will be pulled out of the limiting sleeve 42, and the positioning rope 41 will be pulled out of the push rod 2, and the positioning rope 41 will be pulled out of the push rod 2. Figure 4-1 As shown, because the positioning rope 41 upwardly penetrating into the insertion hole and the positioning rope 41 downwardly penetrating out of the insertion hole are pressed against each other in the insertion hole of the limiting sleeve 42, the spring 43 is shaped and positioned on the lung tissue, and the ring-shaped spring 43 is passively deformed, so that the anchoring force of the single spring structure is effectively improved, and the ring-shaped spring 43 is more firmly positioned on the tissue.
[0024] As shown, Figure 4-2 The insertion hole is divided into a first insertion hole 421 and a second insertion hole 422 arranged side by side, the front end of the positioning rope 41 passes through the first insertion hole 421 and the inner hole of the spring 43 in sequence and then passes out of the limiting sleeve 42 below the second insertion hole 422, the first limiting knot 44 is arranged below the first insertion hole 421 to limit the upward movement of the positioning rope 41; the first limiting knot 44 is a knot fixed on the positioning rope 41, and the size of the first limiting knot 44 is greater than the inner diameter of the first insertion hole 421. At this time, the positioning rope 41 extending out of the push rod 2 is pulled, and the spring 43 forms a ring-shaped spring above the limiting sleeve 42, the two ends of the spring 43 above the limiting sleeve 42 are wound together due to mutual pressing, so as to complete the ring-shaped shaping of the spring 43.
[0025] AsFigure 4-3 As shown, the lower end of the first socket 421 and the second socket 422 is provided with a lower limit slot 423. The lower limit slot 423 is connected to the first socket 421 and the second socket 422. The first limit segment 44 and the positioning rope 41 that passes through the second socket 422 are squeezed in the lower limit slot 423 to achieve the ring-shaped shaping of the spring 43.
[0026] like Figure 4-4 As shown, the upper end of the first socket 421 and the second socket 422 is provided with an upper limit slot 424. The upper limit slot 424 is connected to the first socket 421 and the second socket 422. The positioning rope 41 passing through the inner hole of the spring 43 is provided with a second limiting joint 45. The second limiting joint 45 is a knot fixed on the positioning rope 41. The size of the second limiting joint 45 is larger than the inner diameter of the second socket 422. The second limiting joint 45 is pressed into the upper limit slot 424 to achieve the ring shape of the spring 43.
[0027] The positioning rope 41 passes through any position of the front end or front part of the spring 43, and then exits through any position of the rear end or rear end of the spring 43. Pulling the front end of the positioning rope 41 causes the spring 43 to bend into a loop or a loop structure with side claws 46. Figure 3-1 As shown, when the positioning rope 41 passes through the front end of the spring 43 and exits from the rear end of the spring 43, pulling the front end of the positioning rope 41 causes the spring 43 to solidify into a ring spring, as shown. Figure 3-2 As shown, when the positioning rope 41 passes through the front end of the spring 43 and exits from the rear end of the spring 43, pulling the front end of the positioning rope 41 causes the spring 43 to solidify into a ring spring with a side claw 46 on one side, as shown. Figure 3-3 As shown, when the positioning rope 41 passes through the front end of the spring 43 and exits from the rear end of the spring 43, pulling the front end of the positioning rope 41 causes the spring 43 to solidify into a ring spring with a side claw 46 on one side, as shown. Figure 3-4 As shown, when the positioning rope 41 passes through the front end of the spring 43 and exits from the rear end of the spring 43, and the front end of the positioning rope 41 is pulled, the spring 43 is shaped into a ring spring with side claws 46 on both sides. When it is shaped into a ring structure with side claws 46, the side claws 6 can further improve the positioning and anchoring force of the entire ring spring, ensuring that it is more effectively positioned on the lung tissue.
[0028] Preferred, Figure 3-2In the 3-4, the ratio of the length of the spring 43 in the ring shape to the length of the side claw 46 is 5:2, the length of the spring 43 in the ring shape is 10-15 mm, and the length of the side claw 46 is 4-6 mm. After the spring 43 is in the ring shape, the diameter of the ring spring is 3-5 mm. The length of the side claw 46 is similar to the diameter of the ring spring after the spring 43 is in the ring shape, and the anchoring force generated by the side claw 46 is similar to the ring spring, so the effective anchoring range formed thereby can be effectively increased. The spring type anchoring of the present scheme can be well anchored in the tissue and will not fall out.
[0029] The positioning rope 41 has a developing mark 5 for showing the depth of the positioning mechanism 4 inserted into the tissue of the organ. The developing mark 5 is a developing line segment with a length of 0.2-0.5 cm, and a developing line segment is arranged on the positioning rope 41 passing through the spring 43 every 0.5-1 cm. The developing mark 5 can be a barium sulfate coating, which can be developed under X-ray irradiation, thereby facilitating the doctor to observe the depth of the positioning assembly 4 into the lung tissue.
[0030] When the technical scheme is implemented, the doctor inserts the positioning needle tube 1 into the position of the nodule to be treated, pushes the positioning assembly 4 out of the push rod 2, and abuts the front end of the push rod 2 against the limiting sleeve 42. At this time, the positioning rope 41 outside the push rod 2 is pulled, and the spring 43 is bent and moved under the driving of the positioning rope 41, until the front end of the spring 43 abuts against the upper part of the limiting sleeve 42, as shown in the four spring shaping modes. Figure 4 The spring 43 is in the ring shape, and the ring spring 43 is positioned on the lung tissue, and the implantation process of the positioning assembly 4 is completed. When the minimally invasive surgery is needed, the doctor can cut the tissue in the depth range of the positioning assembly 4 according to the depth information shown by the positioning rope 41, and complete the surgery.
