Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a radiofrequency ablation surgical forceps with telescopic and steering functions. Background Art

[0002] In the field of surgery, electrocoagulation technology has been widely used as an important method of hemostasis and tissue processing. Traditional electrocoagulation surgical forceps often face two major technical difficulties during operation: one is the accuracy of current regulation, and the other is the limitation of surgical field. These difficulties directly affect the surgical effect, tissue healing speed and surgical safety.

[0003] Traditional electrocoagulation surgical forceps usually do not have precise current control devices, and the current output is relatively fixed, which is difficult to accurately adjust according to the characteristics of different tissues. During the tissue healing process, excessively high current may cause extensive damage to surrounding tissues, prolong healing time, and even cause complications; while too low current may not achieve the expected hemostasis and tissue coagulation effects.

[0004] In complex surgical operations, especially those involving narrow fields of view or operations in remote and deep areas, traditional surgical forceps are often difficult to reach, making the operation more difficult and limiting the effect. For example, when dealing with large blood vessels in deep cavities or organs that are difficult to reach, the linear operation method of traditional surgical forceps is difficult to meet surgical needs, which may increase surgical risks and affect surgical results.
