Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of breast tumor marking, in particular to a medical hollow tube positioning marking device. Background Art

[0002] For smaller benign and malignant breast tumors, which are difficult to touch, a barbed positioning wire is usually inserted into the tumor under ultrasound guidance before or during surgery to locate the tumor and then remove the tumor. For palpable breast cancer, local extended resection of the tumor (i.e. local extended resection of breast cancer or breast-conserving surgery) is usually performed based on the surgeon's hand feel. However, there are problems such as a small resection range and a high positive margin rate, or an excessive resection range, resulting in the removal of too many normal glands, which affects the postoperative aesthetics.

[0003] For patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, the tumor may shrink or even disappear during chemotherapy. Currently, in order to mark the location of the tumor, it is usually necessary to place a marking clip at the center or periphery of the tumor or perform a body surface projection tattoo before chemotherapy to mark the location and range of the tumor, so as to facilitate accurate removal of the tumor during breast-conserving surgery after the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The traditional method usually requires the placement of a barbed wire under ultrasound guidance before or during surgery to locate the marking clip, complete the positioning of the tumor, and finally perform breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer with the positioning wire and marking clip as reference.

[0004] The positioning of the barbed wire and marker clip of breast tumors must be completed under ultrasound guidance. The barbed wire or marker clip is located in the puncture needle barrel. After the front end of the puncture needle reaches the target area (tumor center or periphery), the barbed wire or marker clip is pushed out of the puncture needle barrel and fixed to the target area.

[0005] The traditional treatment methods currently have the following problems: 1. For the positioning and resection of smaller tumors, after the barbed wire is marked, part of the wire is exposed on the body surface. If the wire contacts non-sterile items, if the exposed wire is not thoroughly disinfected during surgery, it may cause wound contamination; 2. If the wire is positioned before surgery and then enters the operating room for surgery, the waiting process may cause local pain and other discomfort to the patient; 3. If proper protection is not paid attention to, the barbed needle structure at the end or front end of the positioning wire may cause medical staff to be stabbed. If the positioning wire shifts to the deep part, it may cause further damage to the patient; 4. The marking clip is marked before neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Before surgery, the positioning wire needs to be inserted again under ultrasound guidance to locate the position of the marking clip. The patient needs to undergo two positioning markings; 5. For calcified lesions, ultrasound sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish between the positioning marking clip and the calcified lesion, resulting in difficult or inaccurate positioning; 6. The marking clip is a point mark, and the breast gland has a certain degree of mobility at different depths, so accurate three-dimensional marking cannot be completed; 7. The fixation is not reliable, and sometimes excessive traction during surgery can easily cause the barbed wire to fall out.

[0006] Therefore, in order to facilitate the complete placement of the marker in the body and meet the high requirements for the flexibility of the marker due to the large activity of the breast gland, the three-dimensional positioning of the tumor can be completed through a single puncture, the chance of infection and the chance of accidental injury to patients and medical staff can be reduced, and the three-dimensionality, accuracy and visibility of the tumor position or range marking can be improved. A medical hollow tube positioning marking device is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical hollow tube positioning marking device to solve the problem that in the traditional positioning marking method proposed in the above background technology, the steel wire is partially exposed outside the body after marking, which may increase the risk of wound infection, and the steel wire needle and barb structure may cause accidental injury to medical staff or patients, and the positioning effect of the positioning clip is poor, and ultrasound with calcification is difficult to distinguish. After the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient needs to use the steel wire needle for positioning again, causing secondary trauma.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a medical hollow tube positioning marking device, characterized in that it includes an end cap, a fixing ring, an inner core and a syringe, the hollow hose fixedly connects multiple fixing rings to form a long chain, the end cap is fixedly connected to one end of the long chain, the end cap, the fixing ring and the hollow hose constitute a marking body for marking the position and range of the tumor, the inner core drives the marking body into the marking position and is fixed to the surrounding tissues, the syringe is hollow in design, and the marking body moves inside the syringe.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the technical solution: it also includes a fixed housing a and a fixed housing b, wherein the fixed housing a is fixedly connected with a buckle, and the fixed housing b is fixedly connected with a clamping block, and the buckle and the clamping block can be clamped together;

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution: one end of the syringe is fixedly connected to a fixed tube handle, a fixing groove is provided in each of the fixing housing a and the fixing housing b, a fixing block is fixedly connected in the fixing groove, the fixed tube handle is provided between the fixing housing a and the fixing housing b, and the fixing block fixes the fixed tube handle;

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the technical solution: a plurality of the fixing rings are provided, the plurality of fixing rings are spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of fixing rings are fixedly connected to the hollow hose;

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the technical solution: the fixing ring adopts a spherical structure, a groove can be provided in the middle of the fixing ring as required, and the material of the fixing ring is one of metal and non-metallic polymer, wherein fluorescent imaging material is added inside the non-metallic polymer material;

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution: the fixing ring is provided with color markings, wherein different colors are provided on the fixing ring at certain intervals.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the present invention, the marking body is pushed into the marking position by the inner core, and the part exposed outside the body can be completely cut off after the marking is completed, so that the marking body is completely left inside the body, avoiding the problem of increased infection risk of the exposed part in the traditional positioning wire marking method, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative infection;

[0016] 2. The use of hollow hose makes the whole device easier to bend and adapt to different surgical needs. It can also better adapt to the characteristics of human tissue and reduce discomfort. The structural design of hollow hose plus inner core allows the fixing ring to more effectively utilize the space in the puncture needle barrel, ensuring that the size of the fixing ring is appropriate and easier to fix with the surrounding tissue; the hollow hose has a circular cross-section, a larger cross-section, and can be added with multiple metal wires, which is not easy to be cut during surgery;

[0017] 3. When used for tumor range marking, it is a linear mark. Compared with the point mark of the traditional metal marking clip, it provides a more three-dimensional marking effect and has high visibility, which helps to define the tumor boundary more accurately during surgery. Through multi-directional marking, the accuracy and efficiency of surgical resection can be improved;

[0018] 4. The head end, fixing ring and hollow hose can form a stable fixed relationship with the surrounding tissues, maintain a stable position in the body, and are not easily displaced or fallen off due to traction during surgery, thus ensuring the durability and reliability of the marking;

[0019] 5. The fixing ring adopts a hollow spherical structure design. After the excess marker is cut off, the end of the remaining marker is round and blunt, which is not easy to cause iatrogenic damage to medical staff or patients. It has strong safety. A groove is provided in the middle of the spherical structure as needed to increase the firmness of the fixation;

[0020] 6. After adding fluorescent material to the fixing ring, an infrared fluorescent probe can be used to assist in detecting the position of the marker, making it convenient to quickly find the position of the marker during surgery;

[0021] 7. For patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, only one positioning is required, which effectively reduces the trauma or pain caused by multiple positioning. It also avoids the problem that patients with breast cancer with multiple calcifications need to use the marker clip method for positioning after the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, but the positioning may be inaccurate.
