[0044] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific drawings. In the description of the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the terms "left", "right", and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the present application must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the ablation device with cutting function provided by the present application mainly comprises an insulating sleeve 300, an ablation electrode 100, and a puncture needle 104. The insulating sleeve 300 is a long strip tubular structure having a first channel passing through both ends thereof. The ablation electrode 100 is arranged at one end of the insulating sleeve 300. The ablation electrode 100 has a first end 102 and a second end 103. The first end 102 of the ablation electrode 100 is connected to the insulating sleeve 300. The ablation electrode 100 is a hollow structure. A plurality of ablation prongs 101 are arranged between the first end 102 and the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100. In a stressed state, the ablation prongs 101 can expand from the central axis of the ablation electrode 100 to the outside of the ablation electrode 100, thereby forming a spherical structure or an ellipsoidal spherical structure, and can maintain this state. It needs to be particularly pointed out that, as shown in FIG. 2, the ablation prongs 101 are arranged in a staggered manner along the circumferential direction of the ablation electrode 100. Figure 3As shown, the plurality of ablation prongs 101 are provided with cutting edges 1011 for cutting, which are used to cut and expand the target tissue. In this embodiment, the number of ablation prongs 101 is four, and the number of cutting edges 1011 is four. Alternatively, the number of ablation prongs 101 can be five, six or any other number. To ensure better cutting effect, the number of cutting edges 1011 is consistent with the number of ablation prongs. In order to send the ablation electrode 100 into the target tissue, a puncture needle 104 is provided at the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100, which has a needle tip. The front end of the puncture needle 104 has a cutting edge for piercing and cutting the tissue. It should be noted that the puncture needle 104 is an insulating structure and cannot conduct electricity. For example, the puncture needle 104 is made of ceramic or metal, and in this case, the puncture needle 104 needs to be insulated, such as being provided with a Parylene coating or an insulating coating made of polyimide solution. In this embodiment, the puncture needle 104 has a certain diameter, which is close to the size of the ablation electrode 100, so that after puncture, a certain space is provided for the ablation electrode 100 to enter the target tissue. The target tissue is pierced by the puncture needle 104, and then the ablation electrode 100 is sent into the target tissue by the insulating sleeve 300 to expand the ablation prongs 101, and then the target tissue is cut by the cutting edges 1011, and then discharge ablation is performed.

[0046] In this application, by providing a plurality of expandable ablation prongs 101 on the ablation electrode 100, and matching cutting edges 1011 on the ablation prongs 101, when the ablation electrode 100 enters the tumor tissue, the tumor tissue can be cut open, avoiding the situation that the structure of the traditional ablation electrode 100 cannot support the tumor to form an ablation vacuum area, resulting in incomplete ablation.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to deliver ablation energy to the ablation electrode 100, the ablation device further comprises a needle tube 301 provided in the first channel of the insulating sleeve 300, and the insulating sleeve 300 and the needle tube 301 cannot move relative to each other. The needle tube 301 has wire performance, one end of the needle tube 301 is connected to the first end of the ablation electrode 100 for communication, and the other end of the needle tube 301 is in communication with an external energy generator. In this embodiment, the needle tube 301 has a certain supporting ability, which can provide a certain supporting force to the insulating sleeve 300 wrapped outside it. At the same time, the needle tube 301 has a certain bending guide property, which can meet the bending operation of the human body in the curved cavity of the human body. At the same time, the end of the needle tube 301 connected to the ablation electrode 100 should be located inside the insulating sleeve 300, so as to avoid the needle tube 301 extending out of the insulating sleeve 300 to form a discharge area for energy release, so that the ablation electrode 100 cannot accurately control the ablation range.

[0048] Further, the needle tube 301 has a second channel through both ends thereof, and a traction wire 200 is arranged in the second channel of the needle tube 301 and can move relative to the needle tube 301 in the axial direction of the needle tube 301, wherein one end of the traction wire 200 penetrates the first end 102 of the hollow-structure ablation electrode 100 and is connected to the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100. Specifically, due to the static state of the needle tube 301 and the insulating sleeve 300, the traction wire 200 is axially moved relative to the needle tube 301 by pulling the traction wire 200, so that the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100 is moved towards the first end 102 of the ablation electrode 100, thereby expanding the ablation prongs 101 outward to form a spherical, ellipsoidal or columnar structure. As another variant of the embodiment, an inflatable balloon can also be arranged in the hollow-structure ablation electrode 100, and the inflatable balloon is arranged in communication with the outside through a control interface, and the inflatable balloon is controlled through the control interface, and in this case, the traction wire 200 is not required, and only the inflation control of the inflatable balloon is required. In the embodiment, the control of the inflatable balloon can be inflation or liquid filling through the second channel of the needle tube 301, so that the ablation electrode 100 is passively expanded in the state of balloon expansion. Alternatively, the needle tube 301 can also be arranged in a solid structure, and in this case, two independent channels are required to be arranged in the first channel of the insulating sleeve 300, one channel is for mounting the needle tube 301, and the other channel is for mounting the traction wire 200, and in this case, the expansion and ablation of the ablation electrode 100 can also be completed.

[0049] In one embodiment, since the ablation electrode 100 is provided with the cutting blade 1011 and the front end of the ablation electrode 100 is provided with the puncture needle 104, the ablation electrode 100 needs to be very careful when being sent to the target position to avoid mechanical damage to normal tissues of the human body, and the ablation device further comprises an outer sheath 401 arranged outside the insulating sleeve 300, and the insulating sleeve 300 can axially relatively move relative to the outer sheath 401. Specifically, the outer sheath 401 is a flexible catheter, and the material thereof is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or PEEK or spring tube, etc., and the outer sheath 401 has a third channel through both ends thereof, and the inner diameter of the third channel is greater than the outer diameter of the insulating sleeve 300 and the maximum outer diameter of the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104, so that the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 can be shrunk in the outer sheath 401 before being transported to the destination, and when the ablation electrode 100 is transported to the destination, the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 are stretched out of the third channel of the outer sheath 401 through the axial relative movement between the insulating sleeve 300 and the outer sheath 401, and then the puncture needle 104 pierces the target tissue through the relative movement between the insulating sleeve 300 and the outer sheath 401, and the ablation electrode 100 is transported into the target tissue to cut and ablate.

[0050] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 In order to facilitate the pushing of the insulation sleeve 300, the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 are withdrawn from the outer sheath 401 or are retracted into the outer sheath, the ablation device further comprises a handle. Specifically, the handle comprises a handle 400 and a push rod 500, wherein the handle 400 and the push rod 500 can axially move relative to each other. In this embodiment, the outer sheath 401 is connected to the handle 400, and a stress expansion tube 402 is arranged at the connection between the outer sheath 401 and the handle 400 and covers them. By arranging the stress expansion tube 402, the bending of the outer sheath 401 can be effectively prevented, and the outer sheath 401 is protected. By controlling the relative movement of the handle 400 and the push rod 500, the relative movement between the outer sheath 401 and the insulation sleeve 300 is controlled, and the retraction and release of the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 are completed. Further, a fourth channel is arranged on the handle 400, a part of the push rod 500 is adapted to the fourth channel of the handle, and the push rod 500 is movably inserted into the fourth channel of the handle 400. In this embodiment, the part of the push rod 500 inserted into the fourth channel of the handle 400 is a cylindrical structure, and the fourth channel is a cylindrical channel adapted thereto. Alternatively, the structure of the push rod 500 and the structure of the fourth channel can be a columnar structure, such as a Mitsubishi column or a four-prism column or an elliptical column structure.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in order to fix the position of the push rod 500, fix the position of the ablation electrode 100 and prevent movement, a first threaded hole is arranged on the shell 403 of the handle 400, a locking knob 404 is arranged on the first threaded hole, the first threaded hole penetrates the wall of the shell 403 and communicates with the fourth channel, the locking knob 404 is rotated on the first threaded hole to realize that one end of the locking knob 404 abuts against or is separated from the push rod 500, when the locking knob 404 abuts against the push rod 500, the position of the push rod 500 is fixed and cannot move axially, at this time, the position of the ablation electrode 100 is fixed, and the insulating sleeve 300 cannot move axially relative to the outer sheath 401; when the locking knob 404 is separated from the push rod 500, at this time, the relative position between the push rod 500 and the shell 403 can be adjusted, so that the position of the ablation electrode 100 is adjusted, and the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 are stored in or pushed out of the outer sheath 401. In order to make the fixing structure of the push rod 500 more stable, a first locking surface 5011 in a planar structure is arranged on the push rod 500, one end of the locking knob 404 close to the push rod 500 is arranged in a planar structure, the contact surface between the locking knob 404 and the push rod 500 is increased, the friction force is improved, and the push rod 500 is not easy to slide relative to the handle 400. Further, the relative movement length of one end of the locking knob 404 relative to the first locking surface 5011 should satisfy that the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 are completely stored in the outer sheath 401 and the ablation electrode 100 and the puncture needle 104 can be completely pushed out of the outer sheath 401.

[0052] In one embodiment, one end of the push rod 500 is provided with a Y-shaped channel, the Y-shaped channel includes an energy channel 502 and a control channel 503. In this embodiment, the energy channel 502 and the push rod 500 are on one axis, the energy channel 502 and the second channel of the needle tube 301 connected to the push rod 500 communicate, in this embodiment, the needle tube 301 located in the push rod 500 extends to the intersection of the Y-shaped channel, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The other end of the traction line 200 is connected to the puncture needle 104 on one side of the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100, the puncture needle 104 is pulled to squeeze the ablation electrode 100, so that the ablation electrode 100 is expanded, the other end of the traction line 200 passes through the second channel of the needle tube 301 and extends to the control channel 503, the positional relationship among the traction line 200, the needle tube 301 and the insulating sleeve 300 is as shown in Figure 8 .

[0053] Further, one end of the control channel 503 is provided with a pull cap 504 for fixing the traction wire 200. The traction wire 200 is connected with the pull cap 504, and the operator controls the traction wire 200 by controlling the pull cap 504, so as to control the state of the ablation electrode 100, which is more convenient for the ablation electrode 100 to expand outwardly under stress and maintain the expanded state, as shown in Figure 1 When the operator releases the pull cap 504, the ablation electrode 100 returns to the initial state, i.e., the straight state, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0054] Further, referring again to Figure 5 , in order to realize the accurate control of the state of the ablation electrode 100 by controlling the position of the pull cap 504, a first limiting structure is arranged between the control channel 503 and the pull cap 504, and the first limiting structure comprises a first clamping groove 5031 and a second clamping groove 5032 arranged alternately on the control channel 503 and a first boss 5041 arranged on the pull cap 504, wherein the first boss 5041, the first clamping groove 5031 and the second clamping groove 5032 are adapted, when the first boss 5041 is located on the first clamping groove 5031, the ablation electrode 100 is in the initial state without stress, and when the first boss 5041 is located on the second clamping groove 5032, the ablation electrode 100 is in the expanded state and can continuously maintain this state. As a variant of the embodiment, the first clamping groove 5031 and the second clamping groove 5032 can also be arranged on the pull cap 504, and the first boss 5041 adapted thereto is arranged on the control channel 503, and the first clamping groove 5031 or the second clamping groove 5032 is controlled to be clamped with the first boss 5041 located on the control channel 503 by rotating the pull cap 504. It can be understood that the relative offset angle formed by the alternate arrangement of the first clamping groove 5031 and the second clamping groove 5032 is not limited by the present application.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 , the first clamping groove 5031 and the second clamping groove 5032 are arranged along the axis direction of the control channel 503, and a preset height difference 5033 is arranged between the first clamping groove 5031 and the second clamping groove 5032, wherein the preset height difference 5033 is equal to the distance by which the second end 103 of the ablation electrode 100 moves to the first end 102 of the ablation electrode 100. That is, when the first boss 5041 is located on the first clamping groove 5031, the ablation electrode is in the initial state without stress, and when the first boss 5041 is clamped on the second clamping groove 5032, the ablation electrode 100 is in the fully expanded state. That is, the movement of the pull cap 504 can make the state of the ablation electrode 100 respond in real time without delay, so as to avoid the situation that the pull cap 504 moves and the ablation electrode 100 is still in the initial state, thereby enabling the operator to quickly determine the state of the ablation electrode 100 by the position of the first boss 5041.

[0056] In one embodiment, the ablation device further comprises a cable assembly 600 disposed at one end of the energy channel 502, the cable assembly 600 comprising a plug 601 and a needle core 602 disposed on the plug 601, the plug 601 being partially inserted into the energy channel 502 so that the needle core 602 can abut against the needle tube 301 and achieve electrical communication, so that the external energy generator can deliver ablation energy to the ablation electrode 100 through the needle core 602 and the needle tube 301.

[0057] Further, in order to facilitate the insertion between the push rod 500 and the cable assembly 600, an insertion rod 603 is provided on the plug 601, which is adapted to the outer shape of the energy channel 502. The insertion rod 603 is a conical structure with a preset taper, and the energy channel 502 is also a corresponding conical structure, so that the insertion rod 603 is inserted into the energy channel 502, and the rotation angle of the insertion rod 603 can be adjusted, so that the needle core 602 located on the plug 601 can better combine with the needle tube 301 in the push rod 500, and the good conduction performance is ensured. Further, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the combination of the energy channel 502 and the cable assembly 600, the taper of the insertion rod 603 and the taper of the energy channel 502 should meet the requirements of GB / 1962.1.

[0058] Alternatively, the insertion rod 603 can be a cylindrical structure, as long as it can rotate in the energy channel 502; alternatively, if the sealing performance between the two is not considered, the conical ratio of the insertion rod 603 can also be other ratio values.

[0059] In one embodiment, in order to avoid the plug 601 of the cable assembly 600 and the energy channel 502 of the push rod 500 being separated or the needle core 602 and the needle tube 301 being poorly contacted during operation, a screw joint 604 is provided on the insertion rod 603, the screw joint 604 is provided with a first internal thread 6041, and the outer wall of the energy channel 502 is provided with a matched first external thread 5021, and through the cooperation of the first external thread 5021 and the first internal thread 6041, the plug 601 can be detachably disposed on the energy channel 502 of the push rod 500 through the screw joint 604.

[0060] Further, since the cable assembly 600 and the push rod 500 are connected by thread cooperation, when the two are disassembled or connected, the screw joint 604 is movably disposed on the insertion rod 603, and the screw joint 604 only rotates around the axis of the insertion rod 603, and does not move in the axial direction of the insertion rod 603. Specifically, as shown in Figure 9 - Figure 11As shown, a second limiting structure is provided on the plug rod 603, and the second limiting structure includes an annular limiting boss 6031 provided on the outer surface of the plug rod, and an annular clamping boss 6042 is provided on the inner wall surface of the rotary joint 604. Figure 10 As shown, the outer diameter of the annular limiting boss 6031 is adapted to the insertion hole diameter on the rotary joint 604, so that the two can rotate relative to each other without large displacement in the radial direction. An annular clamping boss 6042 is provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole that cooperates with the plug rod 603 inside the rotary joint 604, and abuts against the annular limiting boss 6031, thereby limiting the axial position of the rotary joint 604. When the first internal thread 6041 on the rotary joint 604 cooperates with the first external thread 5021 on the energy channel 502, the rotary joint 604 only rotates axially relative to the plug rod 603. Furthermore, a first guiding surface is provided on the side of the annular limiting boss 6031 close to the head end of the plug rod 603 to facilitate the clamping assembly of the rotary joint 604. Figure 10 As shown, the first guide surface is an inclined surface structure, and optionally, it can also be an arc surface structure. Further, the rotary joint 604 is further limited in the axial direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the first distance 6042 between the surface where the annular clamping boss 6042 abuts against the annular limiting boss 6031 and the first end of the non-threaded structure of the rotary joint 604 is slightly smaller than or equal to the second distance 6032 between the annular limiting boss 6031 and one end of the plug-in rod 603, so as to form a clearance fit, so that the rotary joint 604 can rotate smoothly around the plug-in rod 603.

[0061] In one embodiment, the ablation claws 101 of the ablation electrode 100 are elastically deformable in the expanded state. When the external force is removed, the ablation claws 101 of the ablation electrode 100 return to their initial state. By configuring the ablation claws 101 with an elastic material, such as stainless steel or nickel-titanium shape memory alloy, the elastic deformation allows them to return to their initial state without external force. This allows the ablation electrode 100 to be reused multiple times, making the ablation device easier to operate.

[0062] In one embodiment, in order to be able to observe in real time the specific position to which the outer sheath 401 sends the ablation electrode 100, a developing device is provided at the end of the outer sheath 401 away from the handle 400, wherein the developing device is a barium sulfate or platinum iridium ring, etc., and combined with CT, the position of the end of the outer sheath 401 provided with the developing device can be displayed, thereby observing in real time the position to which the ablation electrode 100 is sent.

[0063] In one embodiment, in order to achieve effective contact between the needle core 602 and the needle tube 301, the needle core 602 is bent, such as Figure 12As shown, by bending one end of the needle core 602 to form a bending portion 6022, the needle core 602 and the needle tube 301 are in closer contact, so that the ablation energy can be continuously and effectively transmitted to the ablation electrode 100. Alternatively, the needle core 602 can not be bent, and the contact length of the needle core 602 and the needle tube 301 needs to be longer than the length of the needle core 602 when it is bent, so as to achieve a longer effective contact length and realize effective transmission of the ablation energy.

[0064] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
