[0040] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a vertebral basal nerve ablation device is provided, which includes a puncture assembly 10, a cannula assembly 20, and an ablation assembly 30. Among them, the puncture assembly 10 includes a stylet member and a needle tube member. When the puncture assembly 10 works, the stylet member is inserted through the needle tube member. The cannula assembly 20 is detachably connected to the puncture assembly 10. The cannula assembly 20 includes a filling tube 21, a filling tube fixing member 22, an adjustment handle 23, and a mating limiting member 24. The filling tube 21 is fixedly connected to the filling tube fixing member 22. When the cannula assembly 20 works, a liner core 211 is arranged inside the filling tube 21; the adjustment handle 23 includes a retraction handle 231 and a liner core handle 232. The retraction handle 231 is threadedly connected to the filling tube fixing member 22, and the liner core handle 232 is fixedly connected to the liner core 211; the mating limiting member 24 is rotatably connected to the retraction handle 231, and the cannula assembly 20 is detachably connected to the puncture assembly 10 through the mating limiting member 24. The ablation assembly 30 includes an ablation electrode 31 and an electrode handle 32. The ablation electrode 31 is fixedly connected to the electrode handle 32. When the ablation electrode 31 works, the ablation electrode 31 is inserted through the filling tube 21, and the electrode handle 32 is connected to the cannula assembly 20.
[0041] Understandably, during the operation using the vertebral basal nerve ablation device, first, a channel into the bone tissue is established at the pre-positioned puncture site through the puncture assembly 10. The stylet component of the puncture assembly 10 is punctured into the bone tissue, and then the stylet component is removed from the cannula component. The filling tube 21 of the cannula assembly 20 is inserted into the cannula component of the puncture assembly 10. The mating limiting member 24 of the cannula assembly 20 is connected to the cannula component. A channel to the target point is established through the filling tube 21 and the stylet 211 of the cannula assembly 20. Then, the stylet 211 and the stylet handle 232 are separated from the cannula assembly 20 through the stylet handle 232. The ablation assembly 30 is connected to the cannula assembly 20. The ablation electrode 31 of the ablation assembly 30 enters the target point position. By retracting the handle 231, the filling tube 21 of the cannula assembly 20 is retracted. After exposing the effective working part of the ablation electrode 31, the device is started for ablation treatment.
[0042] In this embodiment, by integrating the puncture assembly 10, the cannula assembly 20, and the ablation assembly 30 on the same device, the integration of nerve puncture, channel establishment, and ablation is achieved, which can simplify the process of percutaneous nerve ablation surgery and improve the surgical efficiency. The puncture assembly 10 can accurately establish a channel into the bone tissue at a predetermined position. The cannula assembly 20 further stabilizes the channel through the filling tube 21 and the stylet 211, ensuring that the ablation electrode 31 can smoothly reach the target point position, improving the accuracy and safety of the surgery. The design of the adjustment handle 23 allows the doctor to adjust the filling tube 21 to expose the effective working part of the ablation electrode 31, which can adapt to different surgical requirements. At the same time, the rotatable connection between the electrode handle 32 and the cannula assembly 20 also provides additional flexibility, enabling the ablation electrode 31 to be more accurately positioned at the target point position. Through the modular design and detachable connection method in this embodiment, the operation of the ablation device is made more convenient, and at the same time, the risk during the surgery is reduced. The components can be quickly replaced or adjusted to adapt to the changes during the surgery, ensuring the success and safety of the surgery. The design of the ablation assembly 30 ensures that the ablation electrode 31 can accurately and effectively act on the target point position, thereby improving the effect of vertebral basal ablation.
[0043] Optionally, the stylet 211 is composed of an alloy wire and a reinforcing tube. The alloy wire and the reinforcing tube are fixedly connected, and the connection methods include crimping, welding, or gluing, etc. In this embodiment, the fixed connection of the alloy wire and the reinforcing tube of the stylet 211 forms a strong internal structure, improving the strength and stability of the stylet, enabling it to withstand greater external forces and pressures.
[0044] Furthermore, the cooperation limiting member 24 includes an axial cooperation limiting member 241 and a radial cooperation limiting member 242. The axial cooperation limiting member 241 is connected to the filling tube fixing member 22 through a first connecting member 25. The axial cooperation limiting member 241 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 25, and the filling tube fixing member 22 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 25.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first connecting member 25 is provided with a convex structure for clamping with the axial cooperation limiting member 241, and the other end is provided with a threaded structure for threadedly connecting with the filling tube fixing member 22. The first connecting member 25 can not only provide high connection strength, but also effectively disperse and transfer stress. The threaded connection method enhances the firmness and reliability of the connection. The threaded connection has self-locking property, which can resist external axial force and prevent loosening between the filling tube fixing member 22 and the first connecting member 25.
[0046] Furthermore, the filling tube fixing member 22 includes a filling handle 221 and a guide rail 222. The filling handle 221 is arranged in the guide rail 222 and extends along the length direction of the guide rail 222. The filling handle 221 has a first transmission tooth 2211 protruding from the outer surface of the guide rail 222. The guide rail 222 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 25. Reference Figure 2 It can be seen that the guide rail 222 has a threaded structure, and the guide rail 222 is matched with the threaded structure of the first connecting member 25 through its own threaded structure to achieve threaded connection.
[0047] Furthermore, the retraction handle 231 includes a retraction adjustment member 2311 and a sleeve 2312. The retraction adjustment member 2311 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 2312. The inner wall of the sleeve 2312 is provided with a second transmission tooth 2313, and the second transmission tooth 2313 meshes with the first transmission tooth 2211 of the filling handle 221, so that when the retraction handle 231 rotates, it drives the filling handle 221 to slide along the length direction of the guide rail 222 in the guide rail 222. It can be seen from this that because the retraction adjustment member 2311 and the sleeve 2312 are fixed together, when the retraction adjustment member 2311 rotates, the retraction adjustment member 2311 will drive the sleeve 2312 to rotate together. Because the second transmission tooth 2313 on the inner wall of the sleeve 2312 meshes with the first transmission tooth 2211 of the filling handle 221, gear transmission can be achieved. Therefore, when the sleeve 2312 rotates, it will drive the filling handle 221 to slide in the guide rail 222. The filling tube 21 is fixed on the filling handle 221. Therefore, the filling tube 21 will also move axially along the sleeve with the filling handle 221, so as to realize the retraction of the filling tube 21.
[0048] In this embodiment, since the retraction adjusting member 2311 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 2312, and the sleeve 2312 is engaged with the first transmission gear 2211 of the filling handle 221 through the second transmission gear 2313 to achieve gear transmission, the axial movement of the filling handle 221 can be precisely controlled by rotating the retraction adjusting member 2311, so that the filling tube 21 can be retracted more efficiently. The fixed connection between the limiting member 24 and the sleeve 2312 ensures the stability and accuracy of the filling tube 21 during retraction.
[0049] Further, an end cap 240 is provided between the radial mating limiting member 242 and the sleeve 2312. One end of the end cap 240 is threadedly connected to the radial mating limiting member 242, and the other end is snap-fitted to the sleeve 2312. By providing the end cap 240 to connect the radial mating limiting member 242 and the sleeve 2312, the radial mating limiting member 242 can be fixed and the exposed part between the radial mating limiting member 242 and the sleeve 2312 can be covered, which not only improves the structural stability of the device but also improves the aesthetics of the device.
[0050] Further, a limiting and mating member 233 is provided between the core handle 232 and the sleeve 2312. One end of the limiting and mating member 233 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 222, and the other end is detachably connected to the core handle 232. The limiting and mating member 233 is used to limit the retraction position of the filling tube 21. When using the ablation assembly 30 for ablation, the filling tube 21 needs to be retracted to a specific position to expose the effective working part of the ablation assembly 30. By providing the limiting and mating member 233, the retraction position of the filling tube 21 can be accurately controlled, avoiding affecting the operation due to excessive retraction of the filling tube 21. The limiting and mating member 233 is detachably connected to the core handle 232, which facilitates the separation of the core handle 232 and the limiting and mating member 233 after the channel to the target point is established, and can more quickly connect the ablation assembly 30 and the cannula assembly 20 for subsequent ablation steps, improving the efficiency of the operation.
[0051] Further, the electrode handle 32 includes a handle body 321, a second connecting member 322, a handle screw 323 and a handle tail sleeve 324. One end of the handle body 321 is threadedly connected to the second connecting member 322, and the other end of the handle body 321 is threadedly connected to the handle tail sleeve 324. The handle screw 323 is rotatably connected to the handle body 321 through the second connecting member 322; the handle screw 323 can rotate relative to the handle body 321, and when the ablation assembly 30 is working, the handle screw 323 is detachably connected to the limiting and mating member 233; the handle tail sleeve 324 is used to fix the external cable 40.
[0052] Further, the ablation electrode 31 includes a working electrode 311 and a return electrode 312. The handle body 321 is provided with a handle chamber 325. The handle chamber 325 is provided with a limiting ring 326, a pressure tube 327, and a bridge connection wire 328. The limiting ring 326 is used to limit the return electrode 312. The bridge connection wire 328 is used to connect the core of the external cable 40. The pressure tube 327 is used to press and fix the working electrode 311 and the core of the external cable 40. By providing the limiting ring 326 in the handle chamber 325, the return electrode 312 can be effectively limited, preventing unnecessary movement or deviation during the operation, enhancing the overall structural stability of the ablation electrode 31, and ensuring the accuracy and safety of the operation. By pressing and fixing the working electrode 311 and the core of the external cable 40 with the pressure tube 327, the pressing connection between the working electrode 311 and the core of the external cable 40 can be made more firm, helping to prevent the working electrode 311 and the core from loosening or breaking due to force during the operation, thereby ensuring that the ablation electrode 31 can work continuously and stably.
[0053] Further, the ablation electrode 31 includes at least one working electrode 311 and a return electrode 312 corresponding to the working electrode 311 one by one. The working electrode 311 passes through the return electrode 312. An inner sleeve 313 is provided on the surface of the working electrode 311, and an outer sleeve 314 is provided on the surface of the return electrode 312; the working electrode 311 includes a working electrode tube 3111 and an electrode head 3112. A temperature sensor 3113 is provided on the electrode head 3112. The temperature sensor 3113 is fixedly connected to the cable, and the connection methods include welding, pressing, or bundling, etc.
[0054] Specifically, the ablation electrode 31 is configured as follows: when the ablation electrode 31 includes one working electrode 311 and one return electrode 312, the ablation electrode 31 adopts bipolar control; when the ablation electrode 31 includes multiple working electrodes 311 and the same number of return electrodes 312 as the working electrodes 311, the ablation electrode 31 adopts multi-pole independent control. Among them, bipolar control means that the ablation function is realized only by the cooperation of one working electrode 311 and the corresponding one return electrode 312; multi-pole independent control means that through the cooperation of multiple working electrodes 311 with the corresponding return electrodes 312 respectively, each working electrode 311 and the corresponding return electrode 312 are bipolar to each other, and the ablation function is realized according to each bipolar combination. When performing ablation, each bipolar can be independently controlled.
[0055] Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the working electrode tube 3111 and the return electrode 312 of this embodiment adopt metal tubes with patterns, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown are two different cutting patterns. By setting corresponding cutting patterns on the working electrode tube 3111 and the return electrode 312, the ablation electrode 31 can realize the function of compliant bending. Reference Figure 7The numbers of the working electrodes 311, the loop electrodes 312, and the temperature sensors 3113 provided are two respectively. Each working electrode 311, loop electrode 312, and temperature sensor 3113 corresponds to each other. The combination of the working electrodes and the loop electrodes can realize the function of multi-pole independent control. When it is necessary to ablate a region with a complex or irregular shape (i.e., irregular ablation), precise ablation can be achieved through multi-pole independent control, improving the accuracy and effect of ablation and avoiding damage to surrounding tissues. For example, in the vertebral nerve, the number of nerves at the front edge and the rear edge of the vertebral body varies greatly. A large range of nerve bundles at the front edge of the vertebral body requires large-range ablation, and the nerve roots at the rear edge of the vertebral body require small-range ablation, which can reduce the risk of damaging the spinal canal due to an overly large range. Optionally, when the ablation electrode 31 is a bipolar ablation electrode (i.e., there is only one working electrode and one loop electrode), at this time, the effective part of the working electrode exposed outside the inner sleeve 313 is combined with the effective part of the loop electrode exposed outside the outer sleeve 314 to achieve irregular ablation.
[0056] In this embodiment, through the design of the metal tube with cutting lines, the working electrode tube 3111 and the loop electrode 312 can be bent compliantly, which can meet the requirements of different surgical paths; the compliantly bent electrodes can better fit the surgical area, reducing tissue compression or damage caused by electrode shape mismatch, helping to reduce the surgical risk and improve the safety of patients. Through multi-pole independent control, the ablation intensity and time of different regions can be adjusted according to needs during the operation, thereby optimizing the treatment effect, helping to reduce unnecessary tissue damage, and improving the success rate of the operation; multi-pole independent control can also simultaneously process multiple ablation regions, shortening the operation time and improving the operation efficiency. The ablation electrode with multi-pole independent control can achieve an irregular ablation range, enabling the doctor to accurately ablate specific regions according to the difference in nerve distribution, and reducing the risk of damaging surrounding important tissues such as the spinal canal due to an overly large or inaccurate ablation range. The accurate irregular ablation range helps to reduce adverse reactions such as postoperative pain and edema, and improve patient comfort.
[0057] An internal insulator 315 is also provided between the working diode 3111 and the temperature sensor 3113. The internal insulator 315 can act as an electrical isolation layer to achieve electrical isolation between different electrodes and ensure that there is no current short - circuit between different electrodes. Further, the syringe component includes a syringe handle 11 and a syringe 12, and the syringe handle 11 is fixedly connected to the syringe 12; the stylet component includes a stylet handle 13 and a stylet 14, and the stylet handle 13 is fixedly connected to the stylet 14; the syringe handle 11 is provided with a limiting portion 111. When the puncture assembly 10 works, the stylet handle 13 is threadedly connected to the syringe handle 11 and is located at the limiting portion 111; a puncture portion 141 is provided at the end of the stylet 14. When the stylet 14 passes through the syringe 12, the puncture portion 141 is located outside the syringe 12. The stylet handle 13 is connected to the syringe handle 11. The connection method between the stylet handle 13 and the syringe handle 11 includes but is not limited to threaded connection, snap - connection, etc. The syringe handle 11 is provided with a limiting portion 111, and the stylet handle 13 is located at the limiting portion 111 of the syringe handle 11, which can accurately control the extension length of the stylet 14 relative to the syringe 12, helping to adjust the puncture depth according to actual needs during the operation, so as to achieve accurate puncture of the target tissue. The puncture portion 141 is located outside the syringe 12, so that during the puncture process, the sharp part of the stylet 14 can first contact and penetrate the target tissue, while the syringe 12 plays a guiding and supporting role, helping to reduce the damage to the surrounding tissue during the operation and improving the safety of the operation.
[0058] Optionally, refer to Figures 11 to 13The following shows another structural form of the sleeve assembly 20 in this embodiment.
