[0002] Tumors are a serious disease that endangers human health, with a very high mortality rate. Radioactive particle implantation needles are widely used in the prevention and treatment stages of tumor diseases. During operation, radioactive particles are accurately implanted into tumors through a stereotactic system, and continuous, short-range radiation from a miniature radioactive source causes maximum damage to tumor tissue, while leaving normal tissue undamaged or only minimally damaged.

[0003] The particle implantation needle disclosed in the patent application with publication number CN109011129A includes an outer needle tube and an inner push needle. The inner push needle can be inserted into the outer needle tube and can slide back and forth along the outer needle tube. The front end of the outer needle tube is an outer needle tip, and the end of the inner push needle away from the outer needle tip is provided with a hand pushing part. Although this particle implantation needle can successfully implant particles into a specific part of the human body, it still has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Since the lumen of the outer needle tube is only open at both ends, when the inner push needle pushes the particles, the air in the lumen of the outer needle tube is compressed, causing the pressure to increase, which can make it difficult to implant the particles.

[0005] 2. Even if the particles are eventually implanted, the air pushed into the human body will cause the implanted particles to accumulate together, and the implanted particles are not accurate enough, which will affect the treatment effect.

[0006] 3. The air pushed into the human body will cause greater trauma to the internal tissues of the patient, and the side effects are very obvious.

[0007] 4. During the process of inserting the outer needle tube, implanting the particles, and pulling out the outer needle tube, the outer needle tip may puncture blood vessels or injure other tissues, causing bleeding to occur. However, the current particle implantation needle cannot directly detect such accidental bleeding without pulling out the particle implantation needle, thereby increasing the risk of surgery. SUMMARY

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the implantation cavity is provided with a cavity wall, and a plurality of ribs are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction between the outer wall of the cavity wall and the inner cavity wall of the auxiliary cavity.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the double-cavity particle implantation needle further comprises a medicine injection barrel which is communicated with the opening, and the medicine injection barrel is provided with a medicine injection port.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the inner push needle is provided with an inner needle tip, and the other end of the inner push needle is provided with a hand pushing part.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, an operating surface is arranged on the hand pushing part, and the operating surface is provided with a damping structure.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a hand holding part is arranged on the outer needle tube.

[0036] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a dual-cavity particle implantation needle of this embodiment includes an outer needle tube 1 and an inner push needle 2. One end of the outer needle tube 1 is provided with an outer needle tip 7. The outer needle tube 1 is provided with an implantation cavity 5 that is axially through and accommodates the inner push needle to enter and exit.

[0038] As a special feature of this embodiment, an auxiliary cavity 6 is further provided within the wall of the outer needle tube 1. The auxiliary cavity 6 extends axially from the end face of the outer needle tube 1 away from the outer needle tip 7 to the location of the outer needle tip 7 or near the outer needle tip. The auxiliary cavity 6 has an opening 10 at the end away from the outer needle tip. Preferably, the auxiliary cavity can be arranged parallel to the implantation cavity 5.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the auxiliary cavity 6 is an annular cavity, surrounding the cavity wall 3 of the implantation cavity 5. Furthermore, to increase the rigidity of the outer needle tube, as shown... Figure 8As shown, the outer wall of the cavity wall 3 and the inner cavity wall of the auxiliary cavity 6 are uniformly distributed with a plurality of ribs 12 in the circumferential direction, which connects the two as a whole, so that the outer needle tube has greater rigidity.

[0040] As a particularity of the embodiment, the auxiliary cavity 6 communicates with the implant cavity 5 at the position of the outer needle tip 7 or near the outer needle tip 7. Specifically to this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of first channels 8 are provided between the auxiliary cavity and the implant cavity. As a preferred, the first channel 8 is a through hole or a through groove, which penetrates the cavity wall 3 radially.

[0041] The double-cavity particle implantation needle with the above structure can make the air in the implant cavity 5 enter the auxiliary cavity 6 from the first channel 8 and then be discharged from the opening 10 when the inner push needle 2 pushes the particles, so that the pressure in the implant cavity is consistent with the outside, and the particles can be implanted into the target position accurately and smoothly under normal pressure without causing particle accumulation. In addition, since the gas in the implant cavity can be smoothly discharged from the auxiliary cavity, it will not be punched into the tissue together with the particles, minimizing the trauma to the patient's internal tissue and greatly reducing the side effects.

[0042] As a particularity of the embodiment, the auxiliary cavity 6 is provided with a second channel 9 communicating with the outside at the position of the outer needle tip 7 or near the outer needle tip 7, which is preferably a plurality of through holes or through grooves penetrating the outer wall of the auxiliary cavity 6. In this embodiment, the purpose of providing the second channel 9 at the position of the outer needle tip or near the outer needle tip is to allow blood to flow into the auxiliary cavity from the second channel and flow out of the opening of the auxiliary cavity when the double-cavity particle implantation needle is punctured, such as when a blood vessel is punctured or tissue is injured to cause bleeding. This can quickly discharge the blood outside the body, avoid blood retention in the body causing infection and delaying patient recovery, and allow doctors to discover the bleeding situation in time and handle it in time, thereby reducing the risk of surgery.

[0043] The particularity of the double-cavity particle implantation needle of this embodiment is that when the doctor discovers the bleeding situation, he can inject hemostatic and coagulation drugs from the opening of the auxiliary cavity without pulling out the double-cavity particle implantation needle, so that the drugs reach the bleeding position from the auxiliary cavity and the second channel, thereby realizing simultaneous particle implantation and hemostatic treatment, improving the efficiency of the operation and alleviating the pain of the patient.

[0044] As a special feature of the present embodiment, a medicine injection barrel 13 is further provided in communication with the opening 10. The medicine injection barrel 13 has an inner medicine injection cavity 14 in communication with the opening 10. The medicine injection barrel 13 is provided with a medicine injection port 4. Preferably, the medicine injection port 4 is located at an end away from the opening 10. The medicine injection barrel 13 increases the space for injecting medicine and is more convenient to operate. The medicine injection barrel 13 is further provided with a medicine injection port to communicate the opening, the medicine injection cavity and the outside.

[0045] In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate observation of bleeding, at least a portion of the outer wall of the medicine injection barrel 13 or the auxiliary cavity 6 is made of transparent material.

[0046] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the outer needle tube 1 is provided with a hand holding portion 15 on the outer side. The hand holding portion 15 has a ring structure and a T-shaped cross-sectional profile. The inner push needle 2 is adapted to be inserted into the implant cavity 5 and is slidable in the implant cavity 5. The inner push needle 2 is provided with an inner needle tip 16 at one end and a hand pushing portion 17 at the other end. The hand holding portion 15 and the hand pushing portion 17 cooperate to make the operation more convenient.

[0047] Preferably, in the present embodiment, the hand pushing portion 17 is provided with a pair of symmetrical operation surfaces 18. In order to increase the damping, the operation surfaces 18 are provided with damping structures 11. The damping structures 11 can be any damping structure in the prior art, such as a pattern structure, a concave-convex structure, etc., to increase the friction of the operation surface and prevent slipping when the doctor operates.

[0048] The working principle of the double-cavity particle implantation needle of the present embodiment is as follows: the operator inserts the particles into the implant cavity 5 and inserts the inner push needle 2, at which time attention should be paid to the fact that there is no air between the particles and the inner push needle 2. Then one hand holds the hand holding portion 15 and the other hand holds the outer needle tube 1 to pierce the patient's skin with the outer needle tip 7. Under the guidance of the imaging device, the outer needle tube 1 is continuously pushed until the desired implantation site. The hand pushing the outer needle tube 1 releases the outer needle tube 1 and holds the hand pushing portion 17 to start pushing the inner push needle 2. The inner push needle 2 pushes the particles to move towards the implantation site. At this time, the air in the implant cavity 5 is compressed into the auxiliary cavity 6 through the first channel 8 and then discharged from the medicine injection port 4 through the opening 20 and the medicine injection cavity 14. When blood is found to be discharged, the blood is first sucked away and then hemostatic agent is immediately injected into the medicine injection cavity 14 from the medicine injection port 4. The hemostatic agent can be accurately injected into the bleeding point from the second channel 9.

[0049] As described above, the present application provides a double-cavity particle implantation needle, an auxiliary cavity is additionally arranged outside the implantation cavity, and a first channel is arranged to connect the implantation cavity and the auxiliary cavity. During the process of pushing the inner needle into the particles, the air left in the implantation cavity can enter the auxiliary cavity from the first channel and then be discharged from the opening. The situation that the air in the implantation cavity is compressed to increase the pressure and hinder the implantation of the particles is avoided. The particles implanted successfully will not be stacked together, the implanted particles are more uniform, and the implanted site is more accurate. The air in the implantation cavity will not be punched into the human tissue, the trauma to the internal tissue of the patient is minimized, and the side effects are greatly reduced. The second channel is arranged on the outer needle tube to connect the auxiliary cavity with the outside. When the tissue at the implantation site is wounded and bleeds, the blood can enter the auxiliary cavity from the second channel and then be discharged from the opening. That is, the tissue bleeding can be found and the blood can be immediately discharged to effectively avoid the blood retention inside to cause infection and delay the recovery of the patient. The drug liquid such as hemostatic agent injected into the auxiliary cavity from the opening can also be accurately injected into the bleeding point through the second channel, and the implantation of the particles can be performed at the same time to perform the treatment such as hemostasis. The drug injection barrel is arranged to increase the space for injecting the drug and make the operation more convenient. The drug injection port is arranged on the drug injection barrel to connect the opening, the drug injection cavity and the outside. The hand holding part and the hand pushing part are arranged, and the operation surface structure with patterns is arranged on the hand pushing part to make the operation more convenient. The structure of the whole implantation needle is relatively simple and easy to manufacture, and the manufacturing cost is as low as possible.

[0050] In summary, the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
