Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surgical equipment, and in particular to a plasma low-temperature tumor ablation device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the field of tumor ablation surgery, radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation are used to destroy malignant and benign tumors, and have achieved widespread clinical effects and use in treatment.

[0003] Radiofrequency tumor ablation can be traced back to the early 20th century. It was originally used for clinical ablation of cardiac stenosis. Later, it was discovered that the thermal effect of radiofrequency electric field can also be used. Tumor tissue molecules are effectively inactivated during the heating of the radiofrequency electrode, achieving a therapeutic effect. The radiofrequency ablation needle is inserted into the tumor target tissue and continuously releases radiofrequency electric field heat to heat the tissue around the ablation needle to "80-100°C" within 10 to 30 minutes. The targeted tissue molecules produce protein denaturation and necrosis, achieving the purpose of treating and inactivating the tumor. It became the most advanced and effective tumor ablation technique at the time.

[0004] Since the range of radiofrequency ablation is generally only between 1 and 2 cm, it is not possible to completely eliminate larger tumors. In the 21st century, the country has adopted the use of 2450MHz magnetron-controlled microwave antennas that can be inserted into tumor-targeted tissues. It can release microwave radiation more quickly within "3 to 10 minutes", causing the water molecules in tumor tissue molecules to quickly rub and move to produce high temperatures of "100 to 120°C", causing the proteins in the tissue molecules to coagulate, denature and necrotize, and the thermal coagulation range can reach "2 to 3 cm". Due to the efficient treatment range of microwaves, the "radiofrequency tumor ablation heat" was once cancelled in clinical practice, and it has become the preferred tumor ablation method for major hospitals.

[0005] Radiofrequency and microwave tumor ablation both use high temperatures to kill tumor tissue molecules. While inactivating tissue molecules, they also destroy the thicker and more abundant vascular tissue. When blood vessels are destroyed, blood no longer flows to the tumor target tissue, and the necrotic tissue of the tumor ablation will slowly harden and become scars and connective tissue in the human body.

[0006] Plasma tumor ablation has opened a new revolution in the field of tumor ablation. Plasma breaks the molecular bonds of NaCl in saline and NaCl in tissues under the action of electric field. The low temperature effect of plasma is only 40-70℃, which can not completely destroy the surrounding vascular structure when vaporizing tumor tissue molecules, thus maintaining a good channel for blood flow after ablation.

[0007] Compared with radiofrequency and microwave ablation, plasma ablation has the following advantages: 1. The ablation operation time is shorter and more efficient, generally only 30 to 60 seconds; 2. The ablation range is generally more stable and can be controlled at around 2 to 3 cm; 3. The low temperature effect during ablation will not cause postoperative scar connectivization, and the scar can slowly shrink and absorb the tissue molecules destroyed by ablation through the vascular channels, achieving a reversible effect; 4. The plasma ablation needle is always in a low-temperature saline environment, and there is no high-temperature carbonization or adhesion during surgery, and the ablation range is stable. Different from radio frequency and microwave, which may cause high-temperature carbonization and tissue adhesion, making the ablation range unstable; 5. Radio frequency and microwave generally have complications after high-temperature effect surgery, and the recovery time is long. Plasma has low temperature and does not destroy blood vessels, which makes the post-operative absorption fast, complications are fewer, and healing is fast; 6. After radio frequency and microwave ablation, the tissue cannot be ablated again due to connective tissue formation, but plasma is different. It can be repeated within 6 months after ablation for the edges that have not been ablated cleanly; 7. Under the action of the plasma electric field, NaCl molecules in saline can stimulate the activity of normal tissue molecules, help phagocytize diseased tissue molecules, and accelerate the structural tissue immune mechanism; 8. The plasma tumor ablation needle adopts a bipolar water outlet design, which is different from the radio frequency single-stage ablation needle. During radio frequency ablation surgery, a neutral negative plate will be attached to the human body, which will not affect other tissues and nerves, and will not cause other postoperative complications.
