To overcome these shortcomings, dual-mode ablation treatment electrode needles came into being. They combine multiple energy forms to achieve more precise and efficient tissue inactivation.

[0003] Furthermore, existing ablation treatment electrodes often require medical personnel to change to different-sized tools for tumors of varying diameters.

[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the present invention provides a dual-mode ablation treatment electrode needle, comprising: a shell 1, an interface portion 11 is provided on one side of the shell 1, a syringe 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1, a pull rod 21 is slidably connected inside the shell 1, the top of the pull rod 21 extends out of the top of the shell 1, the bottom of the pull rod 21 is fixedly connected to a push rod 22, the push rod 22 extends into the syringe 2, a first ablation electrode 3 and a second ablation electrode 4 are provided in the syringe 2, the first ablation electrode 3 and the second ablation electrode 4 are staggered, and the first ablation electrode 3 and the second ablation electrode 4 are staggered. The ablation electrode 4 can be staggered by microwave + freezing, radio frequency + microwave, etc., and designed according to specific clinical needs to achieve a more optimized treatment effect. The first ablation electrode 3 and the second ablation electrode 4 have different sizes and are used to treat tumors of different diameters, reducing the steps for medical staff to replace treatment tools during use. A first limiting component 5 is provided on the first ablation electrode 3, and a second limiting component 6 is provided on the second ablation electrode 4. A locking component 7 is provided on both the first limiting component 5 and the second limiting component 6, and a pushing component 8 is provided at the bottom of the push rod 22.

[0018] As a technical solution of the present invention, a square groove 221 is provided on one side of the push rod 22, and an iron sheet 222 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square groove 221. A sound-through groove 223 is provided on one side of the push rod 22, and the sound-through groove 223 penetrates to the top of the pull rod 21, and the sound-through groove 223 is horn-shaped. When the limit block 82 contacts the short side of the L groove 1 52 or the L groove 2 62, the limit block 82 is forced to slide into the square groove 3 81, and drives the spring 2 83 to compress while the limit block 82 is pressed. The iron plate 84 moves upward in the square groove 1 221 until it slides to the square groove 2 71, and the limit block 82 is bounced into the square groove 2 71 by the spring 2 83. During the sliding process, the limit block 82 drives the iron plate 84 to slide downward quickly in the square groove 1 221 until it contacts the iron sheet 222. The two make a sound when in contact, and the sound is transmitted through the trumpet-shaped sound-transmitting groove 223, which makes it easy for medical staff to understand whether the push rod 22 is connected to the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4.

[0019] As a technical solution of the present invention, the bottom of the push rod 22 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 224, the top of the fixed block 224 is pointed, and the bottom of the push rod 22 is fixedly connected to a circulating water hollow ring 225 on the side of the fixed block 224. The top of the circulating water hollow ring 225 is provided with a water receiving pipe connected to the interface part 11. When in use, medical staff will circulate condensed water into the circulating water hollow ring 225 through the water receiving pipe to cool the end of the operating first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4, and the ends of the first ablation electrode 3 and the second ablation electrode 4 are both connected to the interface part 11, and the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4 is powered by the interface part 11.

[0020] As a technical solution of the present invention, the first limiting assembly 5 includes a second fixing block 51 fixedly connected to the first ablation electrode 3. An L-shaped groove 52 is provided on the left side of the top of the second fixing block 51, and the bottom of the second fixing block 51 is pointed. When the top of the first fixing block 224 contacts the bottom of the second fixing block 51, the first fixing block 51 can slide over the second fixing block 51 through the pointed side. When the patient's tumor to be ablated is small and the first ablation electrode 3 is used, the medical staff pulls the pull rod 21 to the top of the first ablation electrode 3 and rotates the pull rod 21 clockwise, so that the fixing block 224 slides into the L-groove 52. When one side of the limiting block 82 abuts against the side of the L-groove 52, the side of the L-groove 52 pushes the side of the limiting block 82, so that the limiting block 82 slides into the square groove 221. If the tumor to be ablated in the patient is large, the second ablation electrode 4 is used. The medical staff pulls the pull rod 21 to the top of the second ablation electrode 4 and rotates the pull rod 21 counterclockwise.

[0021] As a technical solution of the present invention, the second limiting assembly 6 includes a fixed block three 61 fixedly connected to the second ablation electrode 4, an L-groove two 62 is opened on the right side of the top of the fixed block three 61, and the bottom of the fixed block three 61 is also pointed, and the bottom of the fixed block three 61 is also pointed and has the same function as the fixed block two 51.

[0022] As a technical solution of the present invention, the locking assembly 7 includes a second square groove 71 respectively provided in the middle of the short sides of the first L groove 52 and the second L groove 62. A first channel 72 is provided on both sides of the second square groove 71. A first groove 73 is provided at one end of each of the first channels 72 away from the second square groove 71. A first ball 74 is slidably connected in the first channel 72. A first spring 75 is fixedly connected between the first groove 73 and the first ball 74. When the limit block 82 slides into the square groove 2 71 , the middle part of the limit block 82 abuts against the ball 1 74 and pushes the balls 1 74 at both ends to slide into the channel 1 72 and compress the spring 1 75. As the spring 2 83 continues to push the limit block 82, the middle part of the limit block 82 slides to the bottom of the square groove 2 71 , and the ball 1 74 is pushed out by the spring 1 75 and abuts against the end of the limit block 82. At this time, restricted by the ball 1 74 , the spring 2 83 cannot pull the limit block 82 back, so that the push rod 22 engages with the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4. After use, the medical staff only needs to pull the pull rod 21 to retract the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4.

[0023] As a technical solution of the present invention, the pushing component 8 includes a square groove three 81 opened at the bottom of the fixed block one 224, and a limiting block 82 is slidably connected in the square groove three 81. The limiting block 82 is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. A spring two 83 is fixedly connected between the limiting block 82 and the square groove three 81. The limiting block 82 is fixedly connected to an iron plate 84 at one end close to the push rod 22, and the iron plate 84 extends into the square groove three 81 and contacts the iron sheet 222.

[0024] Working principle: like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, in the preparation stage, the medical staff first selects the appropriate ablation mode and electrode size according to the patient's tumor condition, connects the dual-mode ablation treatment electrode needle to the corresponding energy source and condensed water circulation system, and connects the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4 to electricity through the interface part 11. At the same time, the water pipe is connected to the circulating water hollow ring 225 to cool the end of the ablation electrode during the treatment process; If the tumor to be ablated is small, the medical staff pulls the pull rod 21 to the top of the first ablation electrode 3 and rotates the pull rod 21 clockwise to slide the fixing block 1 224 into the L-groove 1 52 on the fixing block 2 51; If the tumor to be ablated is large, the medical staff pulls the pull rod 21 to the top of the second ablation electrode 4 and rotates the pull rod 21 counterclockwise to slide the fixing block 1 224 into the L-slot 2 62 on the fixing block 3 61 .

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, in the electrode preparation stage: during the rotation of the pull rod 21, the limit block 82 at the bottom of the push rod 22 is pushed by the side of the L-groove 1 52 or the L-groove 2 62, slides into the square groove 1 221 and compresses the spring 2 83; When the limit block 82 slides into the square groove 2 71 , the middle of the limit block 82 contacts the ball 1 74 , pushing the balls 1 74 at both ends to slide into the channel 1 72 and compress the spring 1 75 ; As spring 2 83 continues to push the limit block 82, the middle part of the limit block 82 slides to the bottom of square groove 2 71, and the ball 1 74 is pushed out by spring 1 75 and abuts against the end of the limit block 82. At this time, the push rod 22 is engaged and fixed with the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4; at the same time, in the process of the limit block 82 sliding out, it drives the iron plate 84 to slide downward quickly in the square groove 1 221 until it contacts the iron sheet 222. The two make a sound when they contact, and the sound is transmitted through the trumpet-shaped sound-transmitting groove 223, which makes it easy for medical staff to understand whether the push rod 22 is successfully connected to the ablation electrode.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in the treatment phase: the energy source is turned on, and power is supplied to the selected ablation electrode through the interface part 11. The ablation electrode starts working, applying energy to the tumor tissue to achieve tissue inactivation. At the same time, the condensed water is circulated into the circulating water hollow ring 225 through the water connecting pipe to cool the end of the operating first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4, thereby protecting the surrounding normal tissue from thermal damage.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, after the treatment is completed: the medical staff pulls the pull rod 21, the push rod 22 drives the fixed block 224 to move upward, the limit block 82 is squeezed by the side of the L-groove 1 52 or the L-groove 2 62, slides into the square groove 1 221 and compresses the spring 2 83, and finally disengages from the square groove 2 71, thereby separating the push rod 22 from the first ablation electrode 3 or the second ablation electrode 4; the medical staff removes the electrode needle from the patient's body, completing the treatment process.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description.

Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
