Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a direct injection argon electrode directional side injection visual system. Background Art
[0002] Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is short for argon ion coagulation, which is a new non-contact endoscopic electrocoagulation technology. An argon plasma coagulation device generally consists of a high-voltage power supply, a low-voltage power supply, an oscillation unit, a power output, an electrocision and electrocoagulation selection unit, etc. The core of the argon plasma coagulation device is a transformer that converts a low-voltage and low-frequency current of 22V and (or) 50Hz into a high-frequency current with a frequency of 400 - 1000kHz and a voltage of thousands or even tens of thousands of volts through frequency conversion, voltage transformation, and power amplification. Argon is an inert gas with safety. Under the action of high voltage and high-frequency current, it is fully ionized to become argon ions with excellent conductivity, which can evenly conduct high-frequency electric energy, thus generating a uniformly distributed argon arc, conducting high-frequency current to the target tissue to produce a thermal effect, and forming a temperature of 110°C on the tissue wound surface, thereby playing a role in cutting and coagulating human tissues.
[0003] The argon electrodes of the argon gas nozzle are mainly divided into three forms according to their clinical functions: direct injection, annular injection, and side injection. Direct injection means that argon gas is directly ejected axially from the nozzle at the root of the electrode to form a linear argon plasma beam with concentrated energy and strong penetration. It is suitable for scenarios requiring high-precision operations, such as local tumor ablation or deep hemostasis. Argon gas isolates oxygen, which can reduce tissue carbonization and keep the surgical field clear. Side injection means that the argon plasma beam not only propagates axially but also laterally diffuses to cover a wider area to achieve uniform treatment. For gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding, large-area superficial lesions, etc., continuous coagulation can be achieved without direct contact, and it is suitable for uneven areas that are difficult to reach with lasers or traditional electrosurgical knives. Annular injection means that the annular injection electrode realizes 360-degree uniform injection of the argon plasma beam through the nozzle design around the end of the electrode. This design can cover the entire wound surface without rotating the electrode, especially suitable for treatments in narrow or curved cavities.
[0004] Since the direct injection electrode always faces the center of the lesion, there is no occlusion between the electrode and the treatment area in the surgical field, which is convenient for real-time observation of the coagulation depth and range. It is preferably used for punctate bleeding or superficial lesions that require precise visualization. However, the direct injection electrode can only be directly ejected axially from the nozzle at the root of the electrode and cannot achieve directional side injection, which affects the surgical efficiency and surgical effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a direct-injection argon electrode directional side-injection visual system. By arranging a guiding tube inside the inner side of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, and arranging an injection notch on the opposite side of the endoscopic auxiliary cap to the guiding tube, the electrode end is inserted into the guiding installation hole from the outside of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, realizing the directional side-injection of the direct-injection argon electrode. The main body of the electrode is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the endoscopic sheath tube, and then the electrode is sent into the human body together with the endoscope for treatment operations.
[0006] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are realized by adopting the following technical solutions: A direct-injection argon electrode directional side-injection visual system, comprising an endoscopic sheath tube, an endoscopic auxiliary cap and an electrode; The endoscopic auxiliary cap is detachably arranged at the end of the endoscopic sheath tube; A gas passage and a camera are arranged inside the endoscopic sheath tube; The endoscopic auxiliary cap is made of a transparent material. A guiding tube is arranged on the inner side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, and the guiding tube is provided with a guiding installation hole penetrating through the side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap; An injection notch is arranged through the side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, and the injection notch is arranged opposite to the guiding tube; The end of the electrode passes through the guiding installation hole and is fixed on the endoscopic auxiliary cap, and the main body of the electrode is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the endoscopic sheath tube.
[0007] Preferably, the present invention further comprises a gas system, and the instrument tube is connected to the gas system; The end of the electrode is located directly in front of the gas passage. By introducing gas into the gas passage by using the gas system, the smoke generated at the end of the electrode can be dispersed, improving the clarity of the surgical field of view.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove connected to the guiding tube is axially arranged on the outer peripheral side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, and the front end of the electrode is clamped in the limiting groove. The limiting groove on the outer peripheral side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap is used to fix the electrode, improving the stability of the front end of the electrode during operation; in addition, by embedding the electrode into the limiting groove, it can be avoided that the part of the electrode tube body protruding from the outer circle of the endoscopic auxiliary cap is too large and affects the entry into the cavity channel of the human body.
[0009] Preferably, the endoscopic auxiliary cap is provided with an operation cavity, and the front end of the endoscopic auxiliary cap is provided with air dispersion holes communicating with the operation cavity. By arranging air dispersion holes communicating with the operation cavity at the front end of the endoscopic auxiliary cap, the dissipation speed of the smoke in the operation cavity is further improved.
[0010] Preferably, the front end of the endoscopic auxiliary cap is designed in a conical shape. Since the front end of the endoscopic auxiliary cap is designed in a conical shape, it can protect the internal tissues of the human body during the insertion of the endoscope.
[0011] Preferably, the injection notch of the present invention includes a horizontal end face and an inclined end face, and the outlet direction of the guiding installation hole is perpendicular to the inclined end face. By providing a horizontal end face on the side of the injection notch, it is beneficial to stably place the endoscopic auxiliary cap on the surface of human tissues. The outlet direction of the guiding installation hole is perpendicular to the inclined end face, so that the front end of the electrode is perpendicular to the inclined end face to accurately inject the diseased area.
[0012] Preferably, the present invention further includes a mounting cap, and the mounting cap includes a limiting plate and a clamping portion matching the injection notch; A limiting portion matching the guiding installation hole is provided on the limiting plate. The mounting cap is clamped on the injection notch by the clamping portion, so that the mounting cap is connected and fixed to the endoscopic auxiliary cap; the electrode tube body is inserted into the limiting portion matching the guiding installation hole, and the insertion dimension of the electrode tube body is limited by the limiting portion, avoiding too little or too much insertion of the electrode, which affects the injection effect of the electrode, and can realize the standardized assembly of the electrode, improving the combination efficiency of the electrode and the endoscopic auxiliary cap.
[0013] Preferably, the mounting cap further includes a holding portion connected to the limiting plate. Since the volume of the mounting cap is small, in order to facilitate the assembly of the mounting cap and the endoscopic auxiliary cap, a holding portion is provided on the limiting plate to facilitate the operator to hold the mounting cap.
[0014] Preferably, the present invention further includes a sterile tape, and the body of the electrode is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the endoscopic sheath tube through a plurality of spaced sterile tapes. The electrode is fixed on the outer wall of the endoscopic sheath tube by the sterile tape, which is convenient for operation.
[0015] Preferably, the endoscopic auxiliary cap is made of polyvinyl chloride or silicone material. The endoscopic auxiliary cap is prepared from polyvinyl chloride or silicone material, ensuring that the endoscopic auxiliary cap has good elasticity, avoiding hard friction to human tissues, and being beneficial to protecting internal human tissues.

A gas channel and a camera are arranged inside the endoscopic sheath tube. The endoscopic auxiliary cap is made of a transparent material.

The guiding tube is provided with a guiding installation hole penetrating through the side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap. And a jet notch is penetratingly arranged on the side wall of the endoscopic auxiliary cap. The jet notch is arranged opposite to the guiding tube. By passing the end of the electrode through the guiding installation hole and fixing it on the endoscopic auxiliary cap, the injection direction of the direct injection electrode is fixed, realizing directional side injection, and the visual injection treatment of the direct injection soft electrode can be realized.
[0017] In addition, in the present invention, the main body of the electrode is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the endoscope sheath tube, so that the electrode is sent into the human body together with the endoscope body. Description of the Drawings
