Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a monopolar adjustable ablation device. Background Art

[0002] The application of pulsed electric field ablation technology in clinical practice is based on the electroporation effect of pulsed electric fields. Data shows that electroporation is divided into reversible electroporation and irreversible electroporation. Irreversible electroporation refers to the fact that stronger electric fields cause permanent permeability of cell membranes and lead to cell death.

[0003] Based on the theory of reversible electroporation, clinicians use high-field electric pulses to make drugs that are not easily enter the lipid bilayer membrane enter cells more easily through small pores in the cell membrane, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. This method not only reduces the dosage of drugs, but also reduces certain toxic and side effects due to the reduced dosage of drugs taken. This therapy is called electrochemotherapy and is currently mainly applied to diseases such as cancer. Another medical application of reversible electroporation is to use electroporation to introduce genes into cells or tissues for gene therapy and DNA vaccine inoculation.

[0004] Among existing devices, since the ablation area of most ablation devices is fixed and the structural design is single, several pain points are faced during the operation. On the one hand, the length of the ablation electrode of currently marketed products is fixed, and the single ablation range for tumors is not large. For larger tumors or tumors with irregular shapes, multiple ablations are required to completely cover them. Multiple ablations require multiple punctures of the human body, and normal tissues around may be damaged during the ablation process, causing unnecessary harm.

[0005] In currently publicly disclosed patent applications, to address existing problems, the length of the ablation electrode is usually controlled by moving the outer sheath. Therefore, there must be a physical gap between the outer sheath and the electrode. On the one hand, it will cause conductive liquids such as human blood to fill the inner part of the outer sheath, resulting in an error in the effective ablation length of the electrode; if the liquid reaches the handle part along the outer sheath, it may cause accidental injury to the operator. Additionally, due to the gap between the outer sheath and the needle electrode, during the process of advancing the tissue, it may deform or turn outward, reducing the puncture force and even causing tissue damage. Especially when the device is punctured through the human body cavity or in cooperation with channels of equipment such as endoscopes and surgical robots, the ablation device catheter is long and the human body cavity is curved and variable, so it is difficult for the thrust at the handle end to be directly transmitted to the front end of the ablation electrode, and the outer sheath is prone to phenomena such as kinking and deformation.

[0006] On the other hand, due to the irregular distribution of human blood vessels, doctors need to avoid blood vessels during the operation to prevent the needle tip from piercing the blood vessels and causing bleeding. However, when it is impossible to avoid blood vessels after confirming the planned puncture path, a blunt needle needs to be used to push the blood vessel away first and then perform the puncture. Thus, minimally invasive treatment is achieved, the occurrence of complications is reduced, and the comfort of the patient is improved. At the same time, during the puncture process, since the position of the tumor changes constantly with breathing during human respiration, it is very difficult to insert the puncture needle into the designated position of the tumor in one go, and the operator needs to perform repeated needle insertion and withdrawal operations under CT. To solve this problem, the current clinical solution generally uses a blunt ablation needle equipped with a coaxial needle with a blade edge. This method can avoid the risk of blood vessel puncture, but it requires the ablation needle to be made thicker, which causes greater trauma to the human body and increases the difficulty for the operator.

[0062] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to specific drawings. In the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the present application must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0063] As Figure 1-2 shown, a unipolar adjustable ablation device provided by the present invention mainly includes a needle tube 600 and a needle core 700. Specifically, the needle tube 600 has a distal end and a proximal end. A second insulating layer 602 is provided on the needle tube 600, and the distal end of the needle tube 600 is exposed, thereby forming a second ablation electrode 601 for releasing ablation energy. The distal end of the needle tube 600 is as shown in the left side in Figure 2 the figure. In this embodiment, in order to conform to the ablation of smaller-sized lesion tissues, the exposed length of the needle tube 600 is relatively small; in this embodiment, by means of hot melt coating or gluing the second ablation electrode 601 and the second insulating layer 602, the second ablation electrode 601 and the second insulating layer 602 are made into an integral body, and the rigidity and toughness of the needle tube 600 are increased through the insulating layer, and the pushing ability of the needle tube 600 is improved.

[0064] The needle core 700 has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end is the connection end, and the distal end is the discharge end. The needle core 700 is movably disposed inside the needle tube 600. A first ablation electrode 701 is provided at the distal end of the needle core 700, and the first ablation electrode 701 can be received or extended out of the needle tube 600. In this embodiment, the needle core 700 is a conductive rod-shaped structure. The length of the needle core 700 extending out of the needle tube is the length of the first ablation electrode 701, and is also the increased effective discharge length of the second ablation electrode 601; in this embodiment, the ablation device is a unipolar ablation structure, and electrical connection is achieved by the contact between the needle core 700 and the needle tube 600, so as to transfer ablation energy. The external energy generator can be connected to the needle tube 600 or the needle core 700.

[0065] It should be particularly noted that the stylet 700 and the cannula 600 can move synchronously, and the stylet 700 and the cannula 600 can move relative to each other. For example, during actual operation, the cannula 600 can move independently or the stylet 700 can move independently. Among them, as Figure 2 shown, a puncture tip 6011 is provided at the distal end of the cannula 600, and a smooth guiding structure 7011 is provided at the distal end of the stylet 700, or as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, a smooth guiding structure 7011 is provided at the distal end of the cannula 600, and a puncture tip 6011 is provided at the distal end of the stylet 700. In this embodiment, the puncture tip 6011 has a cutting edge to enhance its puncture strength, and the smooth guiding structure 7011 is a rounded corner structure, or a combined structure of an inclined surface and a rounded corner. Further, due to moving in the human body cavity, as Figure 4 shown, a plurality of evenly spaced partition grooves 6012 are formed on the surface of the cannula 600 to ensure its flexibility, and it can be bent in the complete human body cavity. By providing the stylet 700, a supporting force can also be provided during the puncture of the cannula 600, improving the stiffness of the cannula 600 to facilitate puncture.

[0066] By adopting the above combination structure, on the one hand, by providing the puncture tip 6011, the ablation puncture requirement is met. At the same time, by providing the smooth guiding structure 7011, when the ablation device is transmitted to the lesion site, the smooth guiding structure 7011 can prevent the normal human tissue from being punctured and damaged by the puncture tip 6011. Especially during the transportation process when blood vessels are relatively dense, the smooth guiding structure 7011 on the stylet 700 can push the blood vessels away, thus avoiding the blood vessels being punctured and causing unnecessary damage, reducing the operation difficulty of doctors. On the other hand, by movably inserting the stylet 700 into the cannula 600, since the stylet 700 is electrically connected to the cannula 600, when the stylet 700 penetrates out of the cannula 600, the length of the stylet 700 penetrating out of the cannula 600 is the length of the first ablation electrode 701. The effective ablation length of the second ablation electrode 601 can be expanded by means of the relative length of the stylet 700 penetrating out of the cannula 600, further increasing the ablation area to meet the ablation requirement of larger lesion tissues.

[0067] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, in order to achieve the synchronous movement of the stylet 700 and the cannula 600, a first handle 200 and a first push rod 100 are further included. A part of the first push rod 100 is inserted into the first handle 200, and the first push rod 100 can make a reciprocating linear movement relative to the first handle 200.

[0068] Further, a delivery sheath 500 is provided on the syringe 600 to facilitate the delivery of the syringe 600. The delivery sheath 500 has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of the delivery sheath 500 is fixedly connected to the first grip 200. In the initial state, both the syringe 600 and the stylet 700 are received within the delivery sheath 500. When the target position is reached, by pushing the first push rod 100, the syringe 600 and the stylet 700 are pushed out of the other end of the delivery sheath 500 to puncture the lesion tissue. In this embodiment, the delivery sheath 500 is an insulating tube. For example, it is made of materials such as PTFE / PEBAX / PTFE and PI.

[0069] In one embodiment, as Figure 12 and 13 shown, at the end of the first push rod 100 outside the first grip 200, a first sleeve 300 and a second sleeve 400 are further provided. One end of the first sleeve 300 is connected to the first limiting section 101 of the first push rod 100, and one end of the second sleeve 400 is connected to the other end of the first sleeve 300. Among them, it should be particularly noted that the first abutting section 102 of the first push rod 100, the first sleeve 300, and the second sleeve 400 are coaxially arranged;

[0070] A first slider 301 is provided on the first sleeve 300. The first slider 301 can move linearly back and forth along the axis of the first sleeve 300. One end of the syringe 600 is connected to the first slider 301; a second grip 401 is provided on the second sleeve 400. The second grip 401 can move linearly back and forth along the axis of the second sleeve 400. One end of the stylet 700 is connected to the second grip 401. In this embodiment, the second grip 401 is divided into two detachably connected shells. A first card slot 4012 is provided at one end of the second grip 401, and a first snap ring 40121 is provided in the first card slot 4012. The first snap ring 40121 is provided with a snap boss with a guiding surface structure, and the snap boss can be snapped into the first card slot 4012 to fix the two shells.

[0071] By adopting the above structure, the synchronous movement of the syringe 600 and the stylet 700 is controlled, and at the same time, the independent movement of the syringe 600 and the stylet 700 is realized.

[0072] Further, in order to accurately control the needle insertion depth, a first limiting block 203 that can move linearly back and forth is provided on the first grip 200. The first limiting block 203 can be fixed relative to the position of the first grip 200. One end of the first push rod 100 within the first grip 200 can abut against the first limiting block 203. By providing the first limiting block 203, accurate regulation of the needle insertion depth can be performed before the operation to avoid excessive or insufficient puncture and failure to achieve the expected ablation effect.

[0073] In one embodiment, to facilitate the reciprocating linear movement of the first limiting block 203 on the first grip 200, a first threaded tube 202 rotatably arranged on the first grip 200 is further included. An external thread is provided on the first threaded tube 202, and a threaded hole adapted thereto is provided on the first limiting block 203. The first limiting block 203 is sleeved on the first threaded tube 202 through thread fit. Further, a first limiting structure is provided between the first grip 200 and the first limiting block 203, and the first limiting structure is used to make the first limiting block 203 perform reciprocating linear movement.

[0074] Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the first limiting structure includes a first limiting boss provided on the first limiting block 203 and a first limiting groove 204 provided on the inner wall of the first grip 200. The first limiting groove 204 is provided with a certain length to meet the need for the syringe needle 600 to penetrate. The first limiting boss is slidably clamped in the first limiting groove 204. The length direction of the first limiting groove 204 is consistent with the axial direction of the first threaded tube 202. By rotating the first threaded tube 202, under the action of the first limiting structure, the first limiting block 203 performs reciprocating linear movement on the first threaded tube 202.

[0075] Optionally, as another deformation mode of this embodiment, the first limiting groove 204 can be provided on the first limiting block 203, and the first limiting boss can be provided on the inner wall of the first grip 200, and the above purpose can also be achieved.

[0076] Optionally, the first threaded tube 202 can also be set as a cylindrical sleeve, and the first limiting block 203 is movably sleeved thereon. A notch with a certain length is provided on the first grip 200, and a part of the first limiting block 203 extends out of the first grip 200 through the notch to form a pushing structure, and the reciprocating linear movement of the first limiting block 203 can also be achieved.

[0077] In one embodiment, to facilitate the control of the first limiting block 203, a first knob 201 is provided at one end of the first grip 200 close to the delivery sheath 500. The first knob 201 is connected to the first threaded tube 202, and the first knob 201 is rotatably arranged relative to the first grip 200. By rotating the first knob 201, the first threaded tube 202 is driven to rotate, and thus the reciprocating movement of the first limiting block 203 is realized. In this embodiment, for the convenience of assembly, the first knob 201 and the first threaded tube 202 are detachably arranged, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, it is fixed by threaded connection and cooperation. Optionally, it can also be fixed by snap connection. Optionally, the first knob 201 and the first threaded tube 202 can also be integrally provided. At the same time, since the first grip 200 is provided as two detachably connected housings, by setting the first knob 201, the structure of the first grip 200 formed by the two housings can be further strengthened.

[0078] Specifically, as Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 17 shown, a first annular groove 2012 is provided on the first knob 201, and a first annular boss 211 is provided on the first grip 200. The first annular boss 211 is adapted to the first annular groove 2012, and the first annular boss 211 is snap-fitted into the first annular groove 2012. The plane formed by the contour of the first annular boss 211 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first threaded tube 202. Optionally, the first annular boss 211 can also be provided on the first knob 201, and the first annular groove can be provided on the first grip 200, which can also achieve the rotational setting of the first knob 201 relative to the first grip 200.

[0079] Further, a first connecting thread 2011 is provided on the first knob 201, and the first connecting thread 2011 is connected to an external instrument. In this embodiment, the external instrument is an endoscope, and it is movably connected to the forceps port of the endoscope through the first connecting thread 2011. The connection effect is the same as that of a Luer connector. The Luer connector is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0080] In one embodiment, in order to support the first threaded tube 202, a first support plate 212 is provided inside the first grip 200. As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, a first support groove is provided on the first support plate 212. The first support groove is adapted to a part of the structure of the first threaded tube 202, and a part of the first threaded tube 202 is rotatably provided in the first support groove.

[0081] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the fixation of the delivery sheath 500, a first fixing card slot 208 is provided inside the first grip 200, and a first fixing block 207 is provided in the first fixing card slot 208. The first fixing card slot 208 is provided at one end close to the first threaded tube 202. One end of the delivery sheath 500 passes through the first threaded tube 202 and is fixedly connected to the first fixing block 207, so as to realize the fixed connection of the delivery sheath 500 relative to the first grip 200. By providing this structure, the delivery sheath 500 can pass through the first threaded tube 202, thereby further strengthening the support structure of the first threaded tube 202.

[0082] In one embodiment, asFigure 11 As shown, since the first threaded tube 202 needs to occupy a certain space and the first limiting block 203 is sleeved on the first threaded tube 202, in order to facilitate the abutment between the first push rod 100 and the first limiting block 203 and avoid movement interference between the first push rod 100 and the first threaded tube 202, the first push rod 100 is set as a first abutting section 102 and a first limiting section 101. The first abutting section 102 is offset relative to the first limiting section 101. The first abutting section 102 is used to abut against the first limiting block 203, and the first limiting section 101 is used for the first push rod 100 to perform reciprocating linear movement along its own axis direction.

[0083] Specifically, as Figure 13 shown, in order to ensure the stability of the abutting structure, the first abutting section 102 is an arc-shaped plate structure with a continuous structure. The radian range of the arc-shaped plate is not greater than 180 degrees. A certain gap should be left between the first abutting section 102 and the first support plate 212 to facilitate the first abutting section 102 to smoothly push and abut against the first limiting block 203. The length of the arc-shaped plate structure of the first abutting section 102 can cover the thread length of the first threaded tube 202 to facilitate reaching the maximum needle insertion depth of the syringe 600. By setting the first abutting section 102 with an arc-shaped plate structure, movement interference between the first abutting section 102 and the first threaded tube 202 can be avoided, and the abutting strength between the first push rod 100 and the first limiting block 203 can be further strengthened.

[0084] To ensure that the first push rod only moves linearly, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, a second limiting groove 1011 is provided on the first limiting section 101, and a second limiting boss 206 is provided on the first grip 200. The length direction of the second limiting boss 206 is the same as the axis direction of the first push rod 100, and the second limiting boss 206 is clamped in the second limiting groove 1011; on this basis, a first limiting plane is also provided on the first limiting section 101, as Figure 7 and Figure 12 shown, a first baffle 205 is provided on the first grip 200, and the first baffle 205 abuts against the first limiting plane, thereby limiting the first push rod 100 in the vertical direction and preventing the first push rod 100 from swinging up and down. The vertical direction is the up and down direction in the direction shown in Figure 6 shown. In the initial position, as Figure 7As shown, the first abutting section 102 of the first push rod 100 abuts against the first baffle 205. At this time, the needle insertion depth is 0. Further, a first locking knob 210 is provided on the first grip 200. The first locking knob 210 is rotationally arranged on the first grip 200 through thread fit. One end of the first locking knob 210 can abut against the first limiting plane. When the first locking knob 210 abuts against the first limiting plane, the position of the first push rod 100 is fixed at this time. When the first locking knob 210 disengages from the first limiting plane, the first push rod 100 can move.

[0085] Optionally, it can also be that the second limiting boss 206 is arranged on the first limiting section 101 of the first push rod 100, and the second limiting groove 1011 is arranged on the inner wall of the first grip 200, which can also achieve the above effects.

[0086] Similarly, in order to realize the reciprocating linear movement of the second grip 401 relative to the second sleeve 400, a fourth limiting groove 403 is arranged on the second sleeve 400, and a fourth limiting boss 4014 is arranged on the second grip 401. The fourth limiting boss 4014 is clamped in the fourth limiting groove 403. The fourth limiting groove 403 has a preset length to satisfy the reciprocating linear movement of the second grip 401 relative to the second sleeve 400.

[0087] Further, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in order to fix the first threaded tube 202, it can also be that a circular fixing plate 2021 is arranged at one end of the first threaded tube 202. The circular fixing plate 2021 is coaxially arranged with the first threaded tube 202. An annular supporting surface is arranged on the first abutting section 102. The inner diameter of the annular supporting surface is the same as the outer diameter of the circular fixing plate 2021. In the initial state, the circular fixing plate 2021 abuts against the annular supporting surface. It should be particularly noted that the outer diameter of the circular fixing plate 2021 is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded section of the first threaded tube 202, so as to ensure that there is a gap between the first threaded tube 202 and the annular supporting surface, so that the first abutting section 102 can be smoothly advanced to abut against the first limiting block 203.

[0088] Further, in order to accurately measure the needle insertion depth, a first scale marking 209 is arranged on the first grip 200, and a needle insertion depth marking is arranged on the first limiting block 203. In the initial position, the needle insertion depth marking is aligned with the 0 scale line of the first scale marking 209. When the needle insertion depth marking is aligned with a certain numerical scale line of the first scale marking 209, it indicates the needle insertion depth of the needle tube.

[0089] Further, as Figure 13As shown in the figure, a needle base 303 is provided inside the first sleeve 300. The outer shape of the needle base 303 is adapted to the internal structure of the first sleeve 300, so that the needle base 303 can move linearly inside the first sleeve 300. One end of the needle tube 600 is connected to the needle base 303. A first connecting block 3031 is provided on the needle base 303. The first connecting block 3031 protrudes relative to the needle base 303. A first notch 302 is formed on the side of the first sleeve 300. The first notch 302 has a preset length to meet the adjustment of the moving distance of the needle tube 600. The first connecting block 3031 extends out of the first notch 302 and is connected to the first slider 301. In this embodiment, a first connecting groove 3011 adapted to the first connecting block 3031 is provided on the first slider 301. The first connecting block 3031 is partially clamped in the first connecting groove 3011, and the two are fixed by means of glue bonding, clamping, etc. In this embodiment, the number of the first notches 302 is two, and the number of the first connecting blocks 3031 is two. It can be known that the number of the first notches 302 and the first connecting blocks 3031 is not limited by the present invention, and only the connection between the first slider 301 and the needle base 303 is required.

[0090] In one embodiment, in order to limit the first slider 301, a first limiting plate 304 is provided at the connection between the first sleeve 300 and the first push rod 100, and a second limiting plate 402 is provided at the connection between the first sleeve 300 and the second sleeve 400. The first slider 301 can abut against the first limiting plate 304 or the second limiting plate 402 to prevent the first slider 301 from moving beyond the limit.

[0091] In this embodiment, for the convenience of assembly, the first sleeve 300 and the first push rod 100 are integrally formed. The first limiting plate 304 is provided on the first sleeve 300. The second sleeve 400 is detachably connected to the first sleeve 300. In this embodiment, a threaded fit is used for fixation, so the second limiting plate 402 is provided on the second sleeve 400 to facilitate the opening of a threaded hole at the second limiting plate 402, and an adapted external thread is provided at the other end of the first sleeve 300.

[0092] Optionally, the first sleeve 300 and the second sleeve 400 can also be connected in a snap - fit form. The first push rod 100 and the first sleeve 300 can also be provided as a split structure, which is consistent with the connection structure between the first sleeve 300 and the second sleeve 400.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the precise control of the moving distance of the needle tube 600, such as Figure 12As shown, a second scale marking 306 is provided on the first sleeve 300. The side line of the first slider 301 can be aligned with the second scale marking 306. The number at which the side line of the first slider 301 is aligned with the second scale marking 306 is the moving distance of the syringe 600 in this embodiment. To facilitate fixing the relative position of the syringe 600, a second locking knob 305 is provided on the first slider 301. The second locking knob 305 is arranged on the first slider 301 through a threaded fit. One end of the second locking knob 305 can abut against or disengage from the first sleeve 300. In this embodiment, a planar structure is provided on the first sleeve 300 to facilitate the abutting and fixing of the second locking knob 305.

[0094] In one embodiment, as Figure 14 shown, a third scale marking 404 is provided on the second sleeve 400. The side line of the second grip 401 can be aligned with the third scale marking 404. A third locking knob 4013 is provided on the second grip 401. The third scale marking 404 and the third locking knob 4013 are the same as the foregoing principle and will not be elaborated here. The second grip 401 can abut against the second limiting plate 402 so that the second limiting plate 402 can limit the second grip 401. In this embodiment, a card slot is provided on the second grip 401, and a first card seat 4015 is provided on the card slot. The first card seat 4015 is detachably arranged in the card slot, and one end of the needle core 700 is connected to the first card seat 4015, so as to realize the second grip 401 driving the needle core 700 to move.

[0095] Furthermore, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, a first wire 4011 is further included. The first wire 4011 can also be fixedly connected to the first card seat 4015. The first wire 4011 is electrically connected to the needle core 700, so as to realize that the ablation energy of an external energy generator is transmitted to the first ablation electrode 701 through the needle core 700. To facilitate the plugging and unplugging with the external energy generator, a first plug 40111 is provided at one end of the first wire 4011, and the first plug 40111 is plugged and unplugged to conduct with the external energy generator.

[0096] Optionally, the first wire 4011 can also be electrically connected to the syringe 600, and the above purpose can also be achieved.

[0097] Furthermore, as Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, a third limiting groove 405 is provided on the first sleeve 300, and a third limiting boss 4016 adapted thereto is provided on the inner wall of the second grip 401. The third limiting boss 4016 can be snapped into the third limiting groove 405, so as to realize the limitation between the second grip 401 and the first sleeve 300. By providing the third limiting groove 405 and the third limiting boss 4016, it is possible to prevent the second grip 401 from moving beyond the stroke relative to the second sleeve 400.

[0098] In one embodiment, the present invention further provides an operation method for a monopolar adjustable ablation device, which is applied to a monopolar adjustable ablation device in each of the above embodiments, and includes the following steps:

[0099] S1. Confirm the needle insertion depth. As Figure 2 shown, the needle core 700 and the needle tube 600 move synchronously and extend out of the delivery sheath 500 to a preset position; the specific process is as follows:

[0100] As Figure 6 shown, rotate the first knob 201 to drive the first threaded tube 202 to rotate. At this time, under the action of the first threaded tube 202, the first limiting block 203 moves linearly. When it moves to the preset position, unlock the first locking knob 210 at this time, and push the first push rod 100. The first push rod 100 moves linearly relative to the first grip 200, driving the needle tube 600 and the needle core 700 to move synchronously and extend out of the delivery sheath 500. As Figure 18 shown, this is the moving direction of A1. When the first abutting section 102 of the first push rod 100 abuts against the first limiting block 203, lock the first knob 201 at this time, and the adjustment of the needle insertion depth is completed.

[0101] S2. According to the size, shape of the lesion and the initial needle insertion position, adjust the relative length of the needle core 700 extending out of the needle tube 600 and fix the relative position; as the moving directions of A2 and A3 in Figure 18 , the specific process is as follows:

[0102] When puncturing into the lesion tissue, if only the needle tube 600 is moved backward, that is, as Figure 12 and Figure 15In the right direction shown, loosen the second locking knob 305, move the first slider 301 backward, driving the syringe 600 to move backward. At this time, the needle core 700 is exposed relative to the syringe 600. According to the size of the lesion tissue, adjust the relative length of the needle core 700 extending out of the syringe 600 to ensure that the pulsed electric field can cover the lesion tissue. When the required discharge length is adjusted, lock the second locking knob 305 at this time. In this embodiment, the distal part of the needle core 700 is an exposed metal structure, which constitutes the first ablation electrode 701. The needle core 700 is electrically connected in contact with the syringe 600. At this time, the length of the needle core 700 extending out of the syringe 600 is the increased effective ablation length of the second ablation electrode 601.

[0103] It can also be, for example, only moving the needle core 700 forward, that is Figure 15 In the left direction shown, at this time, loosen the third locking knob 4013, and by moving the second grip 401 to the left in the Figure 15 direction shown, drive the needle core 700 to extend out of the syringe 600 and adjust to the required discharge length, and then lock the third locking knob 4013.

[0104] If the lesion tissue is very large, the needle core 700 and the syringe 600 can also be moved and adjusted. Just repeat the above steps of moving and adjusting the needle core 700 and the syringe 600.

[0105] After the above operations are completed, both the second ablation electrode 601 and the first ablation electrode 701 are inside the lesion tissue, and their positions are fixed relative to the lesion tissue. At this time, perform the discharge operation. In this embodiment, the lesion tissue is a tumor.

[0106] It should be noted that when the syringe has a puncture tip 6011, during the puncture process, when hitting a blood vessel, extend the needle core 700. Since the head end of the needle core 700 has a rounded and smooth guiding structure 7011, it can push the blood vessel open. After the blood vessel is pushed open, push the syringe 600 to continue puncturing along the path of the needle core 700. When the distal end of the syringe 600 is a rounded and smooth guiding structure 7011, when inserting the needle, it will not directly damage the blood vessel. When reaching the tumor position, since the softness and hardness of the tumors are different, the softer tumors can be directly penetrated. When hitting a harder tumor, the needle core 700 can be extended. After the puncture tip 6011 provided on the needle core 700 punctures the tumor, push the syringe 600 to advance along the path of the needle core 700.

[0107] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made. These improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
