Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency cryoablation needle. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of medical clinical treatment, cryoablation as a minimally invasive treatment method has been widely used in the ablation treatment of target regions of patient's anatomical structure. During the cryosurgery, one or more cryoprobe can be deployed by the surgeon to achieve the ablation of the target region by freezing and thawing the tissue. The core refrigeration principle of such cryoprobes is based on the Joule-Thomson effect. Specifically, the cryogenic fluid inside the cryoprobe expands from a higher pressure state to a lower pressure state, which cools the temperature at the top end of the device to a temperature required for tissue cryoablation near the top end or lower. Subsequently, the expanded cryogenic fluid undergoes heat transfer with the outer wall of the cryoprobe, thereby forming an "ice ball" in the tissue around the top end of the probe, and finally achieving the effect of tissue cryoablation. Therefore, the cryoprobe becomes the core device in the implementation process of cryoablation. However, the current traditional cryoablation technology (such as argon-helium knife) still has many defects to be solved, which seriously affects the treatment effect and safety. The traditional cryoablation technology relies on the Joule-Thomson effect for refrigeration, and needs to switch to helium or use resistance heating during the rewarming stage. The specific defects are as follows: Firstly, the rewarming speed is slow, and it takes 3-5 minutes to use helium for rewarming, and the temperature after rewarming can only reach 40℃, which leads to poor hemostasis effect of the needle channel, increases the pain of the patient, and increases the risk of bleeding. At the same time, helium is a strategic material with high price, and the cost of consumables for a single treatment exceeds 1000 yuan, which greatly increases the treatment cost; Secondly, there is a problem of ice ball residue. During the needle withdrawal process, the ice ball does not completely melt, which can easily tear the tissue of the needle channel and cause additional damage to the patient; Thirdly, the refrigeration efficiency is low, and the expanded refrigerant gas in the expansion chamber is not fully utilized, resulting in energy waste; Fourthly, no vacuum insulation structure is provided at the handle, and frost phenomenon may occur at the handle during the operation, which may freeze the operator and pose a safety hazard; Fifthly, although there are attempts to integrate resistance wires in the cryoprobe for rewarming in the prior art, the power density of the resistance wires is low (<50W / cm), and the heat generated will be lost along the metal needle shaft, resulting in insufficient rewarming efficiency. At the same time, the traditional electric heating and gas rewarming methods have low efficiency for tumors larger than 3cm in volume, and the heating energy cannot meet the demand. In summary, the existing cryoablation technology has significant defects in rewarming efficiency, refrigeration utilization rate, operation safety, and adaptability to tumors of different volumes. These problems not only increase the treatment risk and economic burden of patients, but also limit the further application of cryoablation in clinical treatment, especially in the treatment of deep and large-volume tumors.

In the process of cryoablation, the output end of the fluid pipe 107 is located in the interior of the antenna 109, and in the process of rewarming and microwave ablation, the output end of the fluid pipe 107 is located outside the antenna 109.

[0021] It should be noted that the device is also matched with a control device, and the joint 106 is connected with the control device, and the control device is internally integrated with a medium conveying unit, a microwave unit and a control unit, the medium conveying unit can convey the cooling working medium into the interior of the fluid pipe 107 and collect the cooling working medium of backflow, the microwave unit can convey the microwave to the coaxial cable 108, and the control unit is used for adjusting and inputting the ablation parameters, controlling the microwave power, the input flow rate of the cooling working medium and other control operations.

[0022] Here, the adapter pipe 101 can be a 90° elbow pipe or a straight pipe, and in the embodiment, only the elbow pipe is shown, and is not limited.

[0023] Further, the rewarming and microwave ablation include rewarming and microwave ablation treatment operations, and the common characteristic is temperature rise, and the difference is that the upper limit of the temperature of microwave ablation is higher.

[0024] Specifically, the cooling working medium is any one of the following substances: argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or other gases with refrigeration effect; the materials of the adapter pipe 101, the needle rod 102 and the needle head 103 are any one of the following materials: 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, titanium alloy or other biocompatible metal materials, and in the embodiment, the cooling working medium is preferably carbon dioxide, and the materials of the adapter pipe 101, the needle rod 102 and the needle head 103 are 316 stainless steel.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the patient is subjected to cryoablation, the needle 103 is inserted into the lesion site under the guidance of the imaging device. The doctor observes the size and position of the lesion according to the medical image, selects appropriate ablation parameters, pushes the button 110, and synchronously moves the fluid pipe 107 and the heat preservation transmission assembly 200 through the button 110, so that the fluid pipe 107 moves into the antenna 109, high-pressure normal-temperature cooling working medium is input into the fluid pipe 107, the cooling working medium flows into the expansion cavity 104 from the inside of the fluid pipe 107, based on the "Joule-Thomson effect", the high-pressure normal-temperature cooling working medium flowing out from the output end of the fluid pipe 107 expands rapidly in volume and drops rapidly in temperature, heat transfer between the expanded cooling working medium and the outer wall of the needle 103 causes the tissue surrounding the needle 103 to form an "ice ball", realizing cryoablation of the lesion site, and the expanded cooling working medium in the expansion cavity 104 returns through the return passage; after the cryoablation is completed, the button 110 is moved reversely, the fluid pipe 107 and the heat preservation transmission assembly 200 are reversely moved synchronously through the button 110, so that the fluid pipe 107 moves to the outside of the antenna 109, microwaves are transported into the coaxial cable 108, so that an electromagnetic field is formed around the antenna 109 and molecules in the lesion tissue are excited to produce heat by high-speed friction, the temperature of the cryoablation site can quickly reach the temperature required for rewarming and microwave ablation, and the needle channel can be efficiently hemostatic, avoiding the phenomenon of body fluid diffusion in the needle channel. At the same time, the molecules are excited by microwaves to produce high-speed friction, the heating rate is fast (which can reach 100℃ / min), the ice crystal phase change point (0℃) can be quickly broken through, and the operation time is shortened.

[0026] Secondly, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 again, the antenna 109 is in a spiral shape, wherein, during the cryoablation process, the spiral-shaped antenna 109 can throttle the return cooling working medium.

[0027] Here, the antenna 109 is directly fed through the coaxial cable 108, the inside of the antenna 109 at least includes an inner core and an outer core, an insulating layer is arranged on the outside of the inner core, and the inner core and one end of the antenna 109 are fixedly connected in a welded manner, and the outer core is grounded through a metal ring.

[0028] In this embodiment, during the cryoablation process, the spiral-shaped antenna 109 can throttle the return cooling working medium, prolong the residence time of the cooling working medium in the expansion cavity 104, and the refrigeration efficiency is higher. At the same time, compared with the rewarming method relying on the resistance wire in the prior art, the spiral-shaped antenna 109 is used to perform rewarming and microwave ablation in a microwave manner, which has the advantages of high heating efficiency, simple structure, compactness, low cost and the like. Moreover, simulation software is used for simulation to obtain a SAR distribution map and a thermal field map (please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the spiral-shaped antenna 109 also has the advantage of a large ablation range, which can meet the clinical needs of ablation of deep or large-volume tumors.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the pitch of antenna 109 is denoted as... , ,in, This indicates the wavelength of microwaves in a vacuum.

[0030] It should be noted that the most commonly used frequencies for microwave ablation in clinical practice are 915MHz and 2450MHz, with 2450MHz being the most frequent. 915MHz has a longer microwave wavelength. Microwave wavelength approximately 330mm, 2450MHz The length is approximately 122.45 mm. In this embodiment, the microwave frequency is preferably 2450 MHz.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, antenna 109 is fabricated using high-strength silver-plated copper wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm. Antenna 109 has 8 turns and a diameter of 1.8 mm. When the microwave frequency is 2450 MHz, its microwave wavelength... The pitch of the antenna 109 is approximately 6.12 mm, and the total length of the antenna 109 is approximately 48.96 mm. Increasing the number of turns of the antenna 109 can improve the gain. In this embodiment, the number of turns of the antenna 109 is 8 turns, which is only one implementation method and is not a specific limitation.

[0032] Secondly, please refer to the following as well. Figures 2 to 4 The heat preservation transmission assembly 200 includes a heat preservation pipe 201, a first sealing member 202, a second sealing member 203, and a metal column 204. The heat preservation pipe 201 is assembled inside the handle 100 and located outside the connecting pipe 101. The button 110 is fixedly connected to the heat preservation pipe 201. The fluid pipe 107 passes through the inside of the heat preservation pipe 201. The first sealing member 202 and the second sealing member 203 are clamped to both ends of the heat preservation pipe 201 in an interference fit manner. The first sealing member 202 and the connecting pipe 101, as well as the second sealing member 203 and the transmission pipe 105, are all slidably connected. The metal column 204 is fixed between the first sealing member 202 and the second sealing member 203 and located inside the heat preservation pipe 201. The fluid pipe 107 is connected to the metal column 204, and the coaxial cable 108 passes through the inside of the metal column 204. Pushing the button 110 can drive the heat preservation pipe 201 and the fluid pipe 107 to move synchronously.

[0033] In this embodiment, when switching between freezing ablation and microwave ablation, the button 110 is pushed, and the button 110 and the heat preservation tube 201 move synchronously due to the fixed connection between the button 110 and the heat preservation tube 201. Since the heat preservation tube 201 is connected to the first blocking piece 202 and the first blocking piece 202 is connected to the metal column 204, the heat preservation tube 201 drives the metal column 204 to move synchronously. Since the metal column 204 is connected to the fluid pipe 107, the fluid pipe 107 moves synchronously through the metal column 204. In this embodiment, when the button 110 is pushed forward, the heat preservation tube 201 and the fluid pipe 107 move forward synchronously, and the fluid pipe 107 moves into the antenna 109. When the button 110 is pushed backward, the heat preservation tube 201 and the fluid pipe 107 move backward synchronously, and the fluid pipe 107 moves out of the antenna 109.

[0034] Secondly, referring again to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the inside of the needle rod 102 is fixed with a heat insulation tube 111, and the inside of the wall of the heat insulation tube 111 and the inside of the wall of the heat preservation tube 201 are both provided with a vacuum cavity.

[0035] In this embodiment, the vacuum cavity can exchange heat with the backflow of the cooling working medium, avoid frost phenomenon on the outside of the needle rod 102 and the handle 100, and also avoid the phenomenon of scalding hands on the outside of the needle rod 102 and the handle 100 during microwave ablation.

[0036] Please refer again to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the backflow passage is formed by the inner wall of the needle 103, the inner wall of the needle rod 102, the inner wall of the connecting pipe 101, the inner wall of the heat preservation tube 201, the inner wall of the transmission pipe 105, and the outer wall of the fluid pipe 107. The part of the fluid pipe 107 in the heat preservation tube 201 is called the heat exchange section, which is spirally wound outside the metal column 204, and the outer side of the heat exchange section is wound with a heat conducting sheet 205.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the high-pressure normal-temperature cooling working medium is input into the fluid pipe 107, the expanded cooling working medium backflows from the inside of the expansion cavity 104 through the backflow passage. When flowing through the inside of the heat preservation tube 201, the backflowing low-temperature cooling working medium exchanges heat with the heat conducting sheet 205 and the wall of the fluid pipe 107, which can cool the normal-temperature cooling working medium in the fluid pipe 107. After the cooled cooling working medium in the fluid pipe 107 flows out from the output end, it can absorb more heat in the expansion cavity 104, further improving the refrigeration efficiency and effectively improving the efficiency of freezing ablation. At the same time, the spiral heat exchange section can effectively increase the heat exchange area and heat exchange time between the heat conducting sheet 205 and the backflowing cooling working medium, and improve the cooling effect.

[0038] Please refer againFigure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, sealing rings 206 are installed between the first sealing component 202 and the connecting pipe 101, the first sealing component 202 and the insulation pipe 201, the second sealing component 203 and the transmission pipe 105, and the second sealing component 203 and the insulation pipe 201.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 206 can improve the sealing performance of the internal space of the insulation pipe 201 and prevent leakage of the backflowing cooling medium.
