Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices and relates to an ovarian tissue sampling device. Background Art

[0002] Accurately obtaining ovarian tissue samples for pathological examination is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases, especially for the early detection and confirmation of ovarian cancer. As a highly malignant tumor of the female reproductive system, ovarian cancer often presents with subtle early symptoms, often leading to late-stage diagnosis, which increases the difficulty and complexity of treatment. Therefore, effective ovarian sampling and pathological examination are crucial steps in the early detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

[0003] Traditional methods for diagnosing ovarian cancer mainly include imaging examinations (such as ultrasound, CT or MRI) and blood tumor marker tests (such as CA-125). However, these methods can only provide indirect evidence and cannot directly determine the nature of the lesion. In order to make a clear diagnosis, it is usually necessary to obtain ovarian tissue samples for pathological analysis. Existing methods for ovarian tissue sampling mainly include surgical resection and fine needle aspiration (FNA), among which fine needle aspiration is widely used due to its minimally invasive nature.

[0004] However, in actual operation, especially when using fine needle aspiration for ovarian tissue sampling, the ovary is located in the pelvic cavity and is surrounded by abundant ligament structures (such as the suspensory ligament and the proper ligament of the ovary), which allows it to move to a certain extent. This sliding phenomenon may bring certain difficulties to the sampling process, which may not only affect the accuracy of sampling, but also lead to sampling failure or require multiple attempts to successfully obtain sufficient tissue samples. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an ovarian tissue sampling device, which can fix the ovary during ovarian puncture sampling and effectively improve the accuracy of puncture sampling.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an ovarian tissue sampling device, comprising a connecting sleeve with an opening at one end, the connecting sleeve being connected to an outer sleeve needle tube in a direction away from the opening, the outer sleeve needle tube being connected to a connecting sleeve outwardly near the connecting sleeve, the connecting sleeve being slidably connected to a driving syringe, one end of the driving syringe being connected to an inner sleeve needle tube extending into the outer sleeve needle tube, the outer diameter of the inner sleeve needle tube being smaller than the inner diameter of the outer sleeve needle tube, the outer wall of the inner sleeve needle tube being provided with a plurality of supporting slide bars arranged along the length direction thereof and in contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve needle tube, the end of the inner sleeve needle tube away from the driving syringe being provided with a suction cup capable of being retracted into the outer sleeve needle tube, the suction cup being provided with a plurality of negative pressure holes communicating with the inner sleeve needle tube;

[0007] The driving syringe is provided with an extrusion chamber and a piston chamber that are interconnected. The inner diameter of the extrusion chamber is larger than the inner diameter of the piston chamber. A telescopic sliding hole that is connected to the inner trocar tube is provided at the bottom of the extrusion chamber. A pressure piston is slidably connected to the extrusion chamber. The pressure piston is connected to a sampling needle that passes through the telescopic sliding hole, extends into the inner trocar tube and can pass through the suction cup. A sampling hook groove is provided on one side of the free end of the sampling needle. A driving piston is slidably connected to the piston chamber. Hydraulic oil is provided between the driving piston and the pressure piston. The driving piston is connected to a piston rod outwardly. A push piece is provided at the free end of the piston rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when sampling ovarian tissue, first use the puncture needle to puncture, and after the puncture is completed, use the cannula needle to widen it. After removing the puncture needle, use the device to insert the outer needle tube into the cannula needle. After entering, push the driving syringe into the connecting sleeve to extend the inner needle tube, push the suction cup to extend from the outer needle tube and expand, and after connecting the connecting sleeve to the negative pressure device, the outer needle tube is generated by the negative pressure device. Then, negative pressure is generated at the suction cup along the negative pressure hole, and the ovary is aimed at, and the suction cup can be used to suck the ovary;

[0009] After positioning is completed, the push piece is pressed, and the driving piston is pushed by the piston rod to push the hydraulic oil from the piston chamber into the extrusion chamber. During the process, since the inner diameter of the extrusion chamber is larger than the inner diameter of the piston chamber, the displacement path of the driving piston is larger than the displacement path of the pressure piston. A longer displacement path can make the sampling needle move shorter, which is convenient for fine control of puncture and allows the sampling needle to penetrate into the ovary. Then, the push piece is pushed in the opposite direction to transfer the hydraulic oil from the extrusion chamber to the piston chamber. The sampling needle is pulled back into the inner needle tube through the pressure piston, and the sampling is completed through the sampling hook groove.

[0010] Turn the inner airway tube to connect the airway hole with the ventilation tube, so that the suction cup loses negative pressure and releases the ovary, and then the driving syringe can be pulled out from the connecting sleeve, so that the inner needle tube drives the suction cup back into the outer needle tube, and finally the outer needle tube is pulled out, and the push piece is pushed to extend the sampling needle out of the sampling hook groove, and the sample tissue is removed from the sampling hook groove to complete a biopsy sampling.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that each supporting slide does not extend to the connecting sleeve, the connecting sleeve is externally connected to a negative pressure connecting pipe and a ventilation pipe, an inner air guide pipe is rotatably connected inside the connecting sleeve, the outer diameter of the inner air guide pipe is equal to the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve, an air guide hole that cooperates with the negative pressure connecting pipe and the ventilation pipe is opened on the side wall of the inner air guide pipe, a knob is provided at one end of the inner air guide pipe extending out of the connecting sleeve, and an arrow pointing to the air guide hole is provided on the outside of the knob.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the inner wall of the connecting sleeve is symmetrically provided with two limit slots arranged along its length direction between the negative pressure connecting pipe and the ventilation pipe, and the outer wall of the inner air guide pipe is provided with a limit strip that cooperates with the limit slots. When the limit strip is respectively engaged with the two limit slots, the air guide hole is respectively connected with the negative pressure connecting pipe or the ventilation pipe.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the inner wall of the connecting sleeve is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the driving syringe is provided with an internal thread threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the suction cup is made of silicone material.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the piston rod outer sleeve is provided with a return spring located between the push piece and the drive syringe.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting sliding hole is provided at the top of the piston cavity, and the free end of the piston rod passes through the limiting sliding hole.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a plurality of through holes are provided at the bottom of the driving syringe, a plurality of air inlet and outlet holes are provided at the bottom of the connecting sleeve, and an inner diameter of the limiting sliding hole is larger than an outer diameter of the piston rod.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that ears are provided on two opposite sides of the driving syringe away from one end of the inner sleeve needle tube.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that the hydraulic oil is silicone oil.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] First, when performing ovarian puncture sampling, the present invention uses a suction cup that can be extended to generate negative pressure to suck the ovary and locate the ovary. After the sampling needle is extended from the middle of the suction cup, the ovary is punctured and sampled. This can effectively prevent the ovary from sliding and displacement, reduce the difficulty of puncture, and facilitate complete sampling in one go.

[0022] Secondly, the present invention drives the design of the extrusion chamber and the piston chamber in the syringe. Since the inner diameter of the extrusion chamber is larger than that of the piston chamber, the displacement path of the driving piston is larger than that of the pressure piston. A longer displacement path can make the sampling needle move shorter, which is convenient for fine control of puncture. At the same time, it meets the usage habits of the syringe and can achieve puncture with a shorter path by pushing deeply enough, which is more convenient to use.

[0023] Third, by connecting the inner airway tube and the connecting sleeve, the negative pressure and non-negative pressure states of the suction cup can be easily adjusted, which is convenient for rapid adjustment according to needs, and the position of the ovary adsorption can be quickly adjusted.

The bottom of the driving syringe 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 18, and the bottom of the connecting sleeve 1 is provided with a plurality of air inlet and outlet holes 19, so that air can be discharged or inhaled from the extrusion chamber 16. The bottom of the extrusion chamber 16 is provided with a telescopic sliding hole 20 which is connected to the inner trocar tube 4. A pressure-bearing piston 21 is slidably connected to the extrusion chamber 16. The pressure-bearing piston 21 is connected to a sampling needle 22 which passes through the telescopic sliding hole 20 and extends into the inner trocar tube 4 and can pass through the suction cup 6.

The driving syringe 3 is provided with ears 30 on both sides opposite to the end away from the inner sleeve needle tube 4.

[0036] Working principle: When sampling ovarian tissue, first use the puncture needle to puncture. After the puncture is completed, use the cannula needle to widen it. After removing the puncture needle, use this device to insert the outer sleeve needle tube 2 into the cannula needle. After entering, rotate the driving syringe 3 to extend the inner sleeve needle tube 4, push the suction cup 6 to extend from the outer sleeve needle tube 2 and expand. After connecting the negative pressure connecting tube 9 to the negative pressure device, rotate the inner air guide tube 11 to connect the air guide hole 12 with the negative pressure connecting tube 9. The negative pressure device generates negative pressure on the outer sleeve needle tube 2, and then generates negative pressure on the suction cup 6 along the negative pressure hole 7. Aim at the ovary, and then use the suction cup 6 to suck the ovary;

[0037] After positioning is completed, the push piece 28 is pressed, and the driving piston 26 is pushed by the piston rod 27 to push the hydraulic oil from the piston chamber 17 into the extrusion chamber 16. During the process, since the inner diameter of the extrusion chamber 16 is larger than the inner diameter of the piston chamber 17, the displacement path of the driving piston 26 is larger than the displacement path of the pressure piston 21. A longer displacement path can make the sampling needle 22 move shorter, which is convenient for fine control of puncture, so that the sampling needle 22 is inserted into the ovary. After releasing the push piece 28, the piston rod 27 is pushed back to its original position under the action of the reset spring 29, so that the hydraulic oil is transferred from the extrusion chamber 16 to the piston chamber 17, and the sampling needle 22 is pulled back into the inner cannula tube 4 through the pressure piston 21, and the sampling is completed through the sampling hook groove 23;

[0038] The inner airway tube 11 is rotated to connect the airway hole 12 with the ventilation tube 10, so that the suction cup 6 loses the negative pressure and releases the ovary. The drive syringe 3 can then be rotated in the reverse direction, so that the inner needle tube 4 drives the suction cup 6 back into the outer needle tube 2. Finally, the outer needle tube 2 is pulled out, and the push piece 28 is pushed to extend the sampling needle 22 out of the sampling hook groove 23. The sample tissue is removed from the sampling hook groove 23 to complete a biopsy.

[0039] It should also be noted that all “disposed” and similar descriptive words in this application (especially in the specification) express that there is or exists a connection relationship between two structures, but the specific means by which the two are connected are not too limited, and are generally conventional connection means, that is, it should be understood that the means are prior art and do not need to be elaborated on. For example, “n is disposed on m” simply expresses that structure n is present on structure m, and the two are specifically connected by welding, riveting, adhesive bonding or integral molding, which are all within the scope of protection of this application; for another example, “y is rotatably disposed on x” simply expresses that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by bearings, or y directly passes through x and is connected to x by rotation, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
