Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a lung nodule puncture positioning device. Background Art

[0002] Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. Early detection and treatment are the key to improving the prognosis of patients. With the popularization of low-dose spiral CT technology, the detection rate of small lung nodules has increased significantly, but about 40% of nodules require further puncture biopsy to clarify the pathological nature.

[0003] The existing lung nodule localization technology has the following problems: for example, the existing puncture needle is easily displaced due to respiratory movement or tissue elasticity after positioning, and needs to be adjusted repeatedly, increasing the patient's pain.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above scheme in actual production and implementation, it has been revised and improved. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after many ingenuity and experiments, the present invention was created. A lung nodule puncture positioning device is provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a lung nodule puncture positioning device, which solves the problems in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a pulmonary nodule puncture positioning device, comprising: an auxiliary seat, an octagonal frame is arranged at the center of the auxiliary seat, a center hole is arranged at the center of the octagonal frame, a disc seat is arranged on the auxiliary seat, a guide hole is arranged at the center of the disc seat, the guide hole corresponds to the center hole up and down, a puncture needle is slidably fitted in the guide hole, the puncture needle is a hollow structure, the telescopic tube is slidably fitted in the puncture needle, and a positioning piece is arranged at one end of the puncture needle; One end of the puncture needle away from the positioning piece is matched with a pushing cap, and one end of the telescopic tube is matched with the pushing cap.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of a lung nodule puncture positioning device, a positioning column is provided on the auxiliary seat, a sliding sleeve is provided at the bottom of the disc seat, and a tube cap is provided at the top. The positioning column slides in the sliding sleeve and extends upward, and the extended end is threaded with the tube cap.

[0008] With the above solution, the center hole of the auxiliary seat is used to locate the marking point to achieve subsequent puncture.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of a pulmonary nodule puncture and positioning device, the hollow inner diameter of the puncture needle is 0.8-1.2 mm.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of a lung nodule puncture positioning device, the positioning piece is made of a nickel-titanium alloy with a phase change temperature of 30-40°C, has an outer diameter of 2-3 mm in a natural state, and is stored in the inner cavity of the puncture needle after being compressed.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of a lung nodule puncture positioning device, the positioning piece forms an umbrella-shaped structure after being unfolded, and the end of the positioning piece is embedded with a high-density metal material, and the CT value is ≥2000HU.

[0012] The above scheme is adopted, and nickel-titanium alloy with a phase transition temperature range of 30-40°C is selected. By utilizing its superelasticity and shape memory effect, when the temperature reaches the phase transition temperature, the positioning part quickly recovers from the compressed state to the preset umbrella-shaped structure to form multi-point anchoring with the lung tissue. The marks formed by the high-density metal material are conducive to clear development under CT images, thereby achieving accurate anchoring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the pulmonary nodule puncture positioning device, a hollow stud is provided at one end of the puncture needle, and the push cap is threadably matched with the hollow stud.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, the pushing cap moves spirally to realize the pushing of the positioning member.

[0016] A method for locating a lung nodule comprises the following steps: S1, preoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction to plan the puncture path; S2, the puncture needle is inserted along the path to the edge of the nodule; S3, pushing the positioning member to the target position and releasing it to form an anchoring structure; S4. After the positioning accuracy is confirmed by imaging, the diagnosis and treatment operation is completed.

[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effect of the present invention is: the device is used for accurate positioning of lung nodules, especially for tiny or deep lung nodules with a diameter of ≤2 cm, and through innovative mechanical structure and material design, the accuracy and stability of puncture positioning are significantly improved.

[0018] The memory alloy umbrella-shaped anchoring structure solves the positioning drift problem caused by the elasticity of lung tissue; The linkage design of the hollow puncture needle and the push component ensures that the positioning process is completed in one go; Visual high-density metal markers assist in image confirmation, reducing the difficulty of operation.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a lung nodule puncture positioning device comprises: an auxiliary seat 1, an octagonal frame 2 is arranged at the center of the auxiliary seat 1, a center hole 3 is arranged at the center of the octagonal frame 2, a disc seat 4 is arranged on the auxiliary seat 1, a guide hole 8 is arranged at the center of the disc seat 4, the guide hole 8 corresponds to the center hole 3 up and down, a puncture needle 9 is slidably fitted in the guide hole 8, the puncture needle 9 is a hollow structure, a telescopic tube 10 is slidably fitted in the puncture needle 9, and a positioning piece 11 is arranged at one end of the puncture needle 9; One end of the puncture needle 9 away from the positioning member 11 is matched with a push cap 13 , and one end of the telescopic tube 10 is matched with the push cap 13 .

[0023] Among them, a positioning column 4 is arranged on the auxiliary seat 1, a sliding sleeve 6 is arranged at the bottom of the disc seat 4, and a pipe cap 7 is arranged at the top. The positioning column 4 is slidably matched in the sliding sleeve 6 and extends upward, and the extended end is threadedly matched with the pipe cap 7.

[0024] Furthermore, the central hole 3 of the auxiliary seat 1 is used to locate the marking point to achieve subsequent puncture.

[0025] The hollow inner diameter of the puncture needle 9 is 0.8-1.2 mm.

[0026] The positioning member 11 is made of a nickel-titanium alloy with a phase change temperature of 30-40° C., has an outer diameter of 2-3 mm in a natural state, and is received in the inner cavity of the puncture needle 9 after being compressed.

[0027] The positioning piece 11 forms an umbrella-shaped structure after being unfolded, and the end of the positioning piece 11 is embedded with a high-density metal material, and the CT value is ≥2000HU.

[0028] Furthermore, a nickel-titanium alloy with a phase transition temperature range of 30-40°C is selected, and its superelasticity and shape memory effect are utilized. When the temperature reaches the phase transition temperature, the positioning member 11 quickly recovers from the compressed state to the preset umbrella-shaped structure to form multi-point anchoring with the lung tissue, and the mark formed by the high-density metal material is conducive to clear development under CT images, thereby achieving accurate anchoring.

Then the center hole 3 of the auxiliary seat 1 is aligned with the positioning mark point. After local anesthesia, the puncture needle 9 is slowly inserted along the planned path. When the needle tip is 5 mm away from the edge of the nodule, the insertion is stopped and the positioning piece 11 is ready to be released. When releasing the positioning piece 11, a CT scan is required again to confirm the relative position to the nodule.

[0033] A method for locating a lung nodule comprises the following steps: S1, preoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction to plan the puncture path; S2, the puncture needle is inserted along the path to the edge of the nodule; S3, pushing the positioning member to the target position and releasing it to form an anchoring structure; S4.
