Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an array type multi-pole electrode device and an excitation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pelvic floor dysfunction diseases, such as stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal relaxation, etc., are common diseases that affect women of all ages, especially postpartum and elderly women. The main cause is that the pelvic floor support structure (including muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc.) is damaged, relaxed due to factors such as childbirth, aging, and changes in hormone levels, resulting in a decrease in its support for pelvic organs.

[0003] At present, the treatment methods for pelvic floor dysfunction mainly include three categories: non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment and physical therapy. Non-surgical treatment includes pelvic floor muscle exercise (such as Kegel exercise), use of pessary, etc., but this method often takes a long time to take effect and requires the patient to adhere to it for a long time, with poor compliance. Surgical treatment is to reconstruct the support structure by implanting a sling or performing tissue repair, which has a direct effect, but as an invasive operation, it has the problems of surgical risk, postoperative complications and long recovery period.

[0004] In recent years, radiofrequency technology has been applied to this field as a non-invasive physical therapy method. However, the existing radiofrequency treatment devices are usually large in size and need to be operated by professional physicians in specific places such as hospitals, which limits the treatment process to medical resources and requires patients to frequently go back and forth, lacking convenience. In addition, the radiofrequency electrodes of the existing devices are usually of a whole structure, and the energy output mode is relatively single and static, making it difficult to simulate dynamic and orderly physiotherapy methods such as pressing and lifting in rehabilitation therapy, and the degree of treatment refinement is insufficient.

The other end of the treatment handle 3 extends in an axial direction and is provided with a cylindrical working part 32. In this embodiment, the treatment handle 3 is integrally arranged with the cylindrical working part. The outer surface of the cylindrical working part 32 is provided with a plurality of groups of radio frequency electrodes 4. The plurality of groups of radio frequency electrodes 4 are sequentially arranged from the end of the cylindrical working part 32 away from the working part to the end close to the working part.

In this embodiment, each group of radio frequency electrodes 4 is provided with two electrode pieces 41. The two electrode pieces 41 are both arranged in a strip shape and symmetrically arranged with respect to a center line of the cylindrical working part 32. At least part of the surface of the strip-shaped electrode piece 41 is arranged on an arc-shaped side wall surface of the cylindrical working part 32.

[0022] In this embodiment, the end of the cylindrical working part 32 away from the hand-held part 31 is further provided with a head electrode 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, the head electrode 5 is arranged in an arc surface hemispherical structure matching the curvature of the end outer wall of the cylindrical working part 32. In this embodiment, the head electrode 5 is arranged in two, and the two head electrodes 5 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the cylindrical working part 32.

[0024] The end of the cylindrical working part 32 toward the hand-held part 31 is further provided with an extension part 33. The extension part 33 includes a first extension section 331 and a second extension section 332. The first extension section 331 is connected with the cylindrical working part 32 at one end and extends in an axial direction of the cylindrical working part 32. The second extension section 332 is connected with the other end of the first extension section 331 and extends in an axial direction and expands in a radial direction to form a horn-shaped extension structure connected with the hand-held part 31. The diameter of the first extension section 331 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical working part 32. The first extension section 331 is sequentially sleeved with a first annular electrode 6 and a second annular electrode 7 in an axial direction. The small-diameter side of the horn-shaped extension structure is connected with the first extension section 331.

In this embodiment, one group of profiled electrodes 8 is preferred, and the group is provided with two profiled electrodes 8. The two profiled electrodes 8 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the cylindrical working part 32.

[0025] When the device needs to be used, only need to put the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 into the human tissue, and then input the instruction through the handheld host 1, then the electrodes on the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 will heat in different modes according to the instruction, so as to realize the treatment of the human tissue.

[0026] Wherein, the head electrode 5, the first radio frequency electrode 42, the second radio frequency electrode 43, the third radio frequency electrode 44, the fourth radio frequency electrode 45, the fifth radio frequency electrode 46, the sixth radio frequency electrode 47, the seventh radio frequency electrode 48, the eighth radio frequency electrode 49, the first radio frequency electrode 42, the second radio frequency electrode 43, the third radio frequency electrode 44, the fourth radio frequency electrode 45, the fifth radio frequency electrode 46, the sixth radio frequency electrode 47, the seventh radio frequency electrode 48, the eighth radio frequency electrode 49, the first ring electrode 6, the second ring electrode 7 and the different electrode 8 in the embodiment can be numbered from left to right, and the control module in the handheld motor is provided with a plurality of preset electrode excitation sequence algorithms, which aims to control the twelve groups of array type radio frequency electrodes 4 on the treatment head in a programmed time sequence and spatial combination. In the single layer sequential excitation mode, the control module will activate the adjacent single electrode group in sequence according to the predetermined direction, forming a moving, superficial layer high energy focus. This mode simulates linear sliding physiotherapy method to promote microcirculation and neogenesis of surface tissue; in the double layer or multi layer sequential excitation mode, the control module will activate two or more groups of adjacent electrodes as a whole synchronously, and make the activated whole move along the axial direction of the cylindrical working part 32 in sequence, thereby constructing a dynamic energy field with wider range and deeper penetration in the tissue. This mode simulates the composite method of kneading or pressing to perform more effective thermal stimulation and collagen remodeling on deep fascia and support structure.

[0027] Compared with the static and single heating mode of the prior art, the present scheme can stimulate the pelvic floor tissue in multiple dimensions and multiple levels, which is expected to activate cell neogenesis and remodeling in a wider area, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and thoroughness of the treatment; at the same time, the user can select one of the excitation modes according to his own situation, which makes the present application adapt to different situations of different users and meet the diversified needs of different users, thereby improving the applicability of the device; at the same time, the head electrode 5, the first ring electrode 6, the second ring electrode 7 and the different electrode 8 in the embodiment increase the area of the electrode, thereby increasing the treatment area of the device, so that the user can obtain better treatment effect. Through the combination and switching of the above different excitation modes, the present scheme converts the static energy output into a dynamic, bionic and multi-level energy transmission process, ensuring that the radio frequency energy can act on the different levels of the pelvic floor tissue structure more comprehensively, uniformly and deeply, thereby achieving the purpose of significantly improving the overall treatment effect.

[0028] Further, the end of the cylindrical working part 32 away from the handle part 31 is a round head in the embodiment, the cylindrical working part 32 is actually a circular truncated cone, the diameter gradually decreases from the direction away from the handle part 31 to the direction close to the handle part 31, and the second extension section 332 is connected with the other end of the first extension section 331 and extends along the axial direction and expands radially to form a horn-shaped extension structure connected with the handle part 31, the diameter of the first extension section 331 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical working part 32, that is, the diameter of the entire working part from left to right in the embodiment is first gradually reduced and then suddenly increased, which is relatively ergonomic and greatly improves the comfort of the user.

[0032] The handheld host 1, the cable 2 and the treatment handle 3 are in a split structure in the embodiment, and the volume and weight of the device are smaller than those of the traditional device, so the device has excellent convenience, the user does not need to go back and forth between professional medical places, but can complete the treatment in a private and convenient environment such as at home according to instructions, and therefore, the scheme fundamentally breaks the dependence of the traditional radio frequency treatment on specific places and professional personnel, greatly improves the convenience of treatment, and protects the privacy of the user.

[0033] The multiple temperature sensors 10 in the embodiment correspond to the multiple electrode sheets 41 one by one, and the temperature sensor 10 is located between the electrode sheet 41 and the PCB circuit board 101 and is in electrical contact with the PCB circuit board 101 through a pin.

The core of radio frequency treatment is thermal effect, and high temperature can cause tissue scalding. By arranging multiple temperature sensors 10 corresponding to the electrode sheet 41, distributed and accurate temperature monitoring of the treatment area can be realized. Once the temperature of any local area exceeds the safety threshold, the control module in the handheld host 1 can quickly adjust or stop the energy output of the area, thereby fundamentally avoiding the risk of scalding. The arrangement of the temperature sensor 10 greatly improves the safety of the radio frequency treatment process. In addition, radio frequency treatment needs to be carried out within a specific temperature range to achieve the best effect, and distributed temperature monitoring ensures that the temperature of the entire treatment area can be maintained within the effective range, avoiding local overheating or under-temperature, thereby ensuring the effect of each treatment.

[0037] When the user places the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 into the human tissue and adjusts the position, the micro vacuum pump is started, the micro vacuum pump draws out the gas in the gap between the motor surface and the human tissue surface through the connecting pipe 91 and the branch pipe 92, then the gap is in a negative pressure state, the human tissue can adsorb the surface of the electrode, so that the surface of the human tissue and the electrode are better attached, which not only enables the energy on the electrode to be better transmitted into the human tissue, but also fixes the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 at a specific position in the human tissue, avoiding the deviation of the best position of the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 in the human tissue due to the shaking of the human body, and causing the treatment effect to be reduced.

[0038] The handheld host 1 in the embodiment is also provided with a current sensor for detecting the current value in the power supply circuit of the micro vacuum pump, and the current sensor (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected with the control module.

[0039] The load of the micro vacuum pump is closely related to its working current. When the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 successfully adsorb the tissue, the pipeline is sealed, and the micro vacuum pump needs to continue to pump out air in a low-pressure environment. At this time, the load of the micro vacuum pump is the largest, and its working current will reach a relatively high stable value. When adsorption fails and the pipeline leaks, external air will continuously flow in. For the pump, it is only pumping an environment close to normal pressure. At this time, the load of the pump is the smallest, and its working current will significantly decrease to a lower value. Therefore, a high preset value can be set in the control module. When the current of the current sensor is about to reach this high preset value, it indicates that the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33 have not successfully adsorbed the tissue or the pipeline is leaking. The electrode will not start, and the user can adjust the position of the cylindrical working part 32 and the extension part 33. After the display shows successful adsorption, the electrode will start. If multiple times of unsuccessful adsorption are found, it indicates that the pipeline leaks and needs to be repaired.

[0050] By combining different groups and sequences, a variety of treatment plans can be derived. This allows for highly customized treatment plans based on the user's specific symptoms, stage, and feedback, greatly improving the flexibility and targeted nature of treatment. Furthermore, compared to the energy dispersion caused by simultaneous stimulation of all electrodes, sequential and regional energy concentration can achieve higher energy density in specific areas while ensuring the total power does not exceed limits, thus achieving deeper therapeutic effects. Simultaneously, sequential stimulation also provides the body's tissues with a work-rest rhythm, which is more in line with physiological laws.

[0051] In addition, stimulating adjacent electrodes as a whole can create a larger continuous area of ​​action than a single electrode. This is very effective when it is necessary to lift or heat a large area of ​​tissue as a whole, and can cover the entire treatment area in a shorter time, thus improving treatment efficiency. Moreover, this grouping method simulates a therapist's use of the palm or multiple fingers to perform surface massage rather than point massage, which can produce synergistic effects on a larger range of muscle groups and tissue structures, making it suitable for treatment stages that require overall rehabilitation.

Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
