Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a magnetically compatible radiofrequency ablation catheter. Background Art
[0002] Cardiac magnetic catheter ablation technology is one of the most effective minimally invasive surgeries for the treatment of arrhythmias. Its main features are high safety, good short-term and long-term efficacy, short learning curve, low labor intensity, and convenient remote communication. Its working principle is: a flexible magnetic catheter is sent into the surgical heart chamber through a long sheath, and the navigation magnet is moved to both sides of the patient's body. A navigation magnetic field is constructed within the surgical heart chamber. The synchronous movement of the navigation magnet drives the direction of the navigation magnetic field to change, thereby driving the flexible magnetic catheter head located in the surgical heart chamber to move in the direction of the navigation magnetic field, and finally positioning and navigating the catheter head electrode. In addition to magnetic navigation equipment, a flexible magnetic catheter (ablation catheter) that can move freely with the magnetic field is also required to complete the magnetic catheter ablation surgery.
[0003] When performing catheter ablation, the doctor will insert a short hollow tube called a guide cannula into the femoral vein, and then insert the ablation catheter into the guide cannula, and move the ablation catheter to the lesion location under visual environment to perform the operation. In this way, the position of the ablation catheter is not fixed during the operation, which will make the end position of the ablation catheter difficult to stabilize and easily retract or advance with the doctor's hand movements, thereby increasing the difficulty of the operation. Therefore, corresponding improvements are made to address this problem. Utility Model Content

The limiting assembly comprises a pair of U-shaped rods 4. A pair of first openings 3 for the rods 4 to pass through are opened on the guide sleeve 1. An arc-shaped clamping portion 10 is arranged at one end of the first rod 4 located inside the guide sleeve 1. When the end of the ablation catheter 2 reaches the lesion position, the two first rods 4 are brought close to each other, and then the ablation catheter 2 is clamped by the two clamping portions 10. The two first rods 4 are fixed together by a locking assembly to fix the ablation catheter 2.
[0026] Preferably, the locking assembly includes an insertion rod 5 fixed at the end of one of the frame rods 4, and a second opening 6 for inserting the insertion rod 5 is opened at the end of the other frame rod 4. The insertion rod 5 is provided with a stopper 9 which is elastically connected thereto and can be abutted against the second opening 6. The cross-section of the stopper 9 is triangular. When the two first frame rods 4 are close to each other, the insertion rod 5 will be inserted into the second opening 6, and the stopper 9 will be squeezed into the inside of the insertion rod 5. When the stopper 9 leaves the second opening 6, it moves out of the insertion rod 5 under the action of elastic force and abuts against the second opening 6.
[0027] Preferably, the insertion rod 5 is provided with a mounting groove 7, in which a spring 8 is fixed, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the stopper 9, so that an elastic connection is formed between the stopper 9 and the insertion rod 5 through the spring 8.
[0028] Preferably, the inner surface of the clamping portion 10 is detachably mounted with a rotatable arc-shaped inner clamping plate 11, and the ablation catheter 2 is clamped by the two inner clamping plates 11, so that the ablation catheter 2 will not retract or advance, but the ablation catheter 2 can be rotated, and the ablation catheter 2 and the two inner clamping plates 11 rotate together, so that the angle of the end of the ablation catheter 2 can be adjusted, thereby improving flexibility.
[0029] Preferably, a rubber pad 12 is fixed to the inner arc surface of the inner clamping plate 11. By providing the rubber pad 12, the ablation catheter 2 can be clamped more tightly by the inner clamping plate 11, and the wear between the ablation catheter 2 and the inner clamping plate 11 can be effectively avoided.
[0030] Preferably, an arc-shaped slide groove 13 is provided on the inner arc surface of the clamping portion 10, and a slider 14 is provided on the outer arc surface of the inner clamping plate 11. The slider 14 forms a sliding connection with the slide groove 13. Positioning plates 15 that are close to the inner clamping plate 11 are provided on the upper and lower parts of the clamping portion 10. A pair of circular holes 16 are provided on the clamping portion 10. Bolt assemblies 17 for fixing the two positioning plates 15 are inserted into the circular holes 16.

Then, the bolt assembly 17 is installed in the circular holes 16 and tightened. The inner clamping plate 11 can be installed on the clamping portion 10, so that the inner clamping plate 11 can be easily disassembled and assembled.
[0031] Working principle: When the end of the ablation catheter 2 reaches the lesion position, the two first rods 4 are brought close to each other, and then the ablation catheter 2 is clamped by the two inner clamps 11. When the two first rods 4 are close to each other, the insertion rod 5 will be inserted into the second opening 6, and the block 9 will be squeezed into the insertion rod 5. When the block 9 leaves the second opening 6, it is moved out of the insertion rod 5 under the elastic force of the spring 8 and pressed against the second opening 6, fixing the two first rods 4 together, so that the ablation catheter 2 will not retract or advance, but the ablation catheter 2 can be rotated, and the ablation catheter 2 and the two inner clamps 11 rotate together, so that the angle of the end of the ablation catheter 2 can be adjusted, thereby improving flexibility.
