Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a natural cavity ablation electrode. Background Art

[0002] The human body has many internal natural cavities, such as different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, many of which have linings or layers; natural body cavities can include the esophagus, small intestine, large intestine, stomach, bile and pancreatic ducts, remnants of weight loss surgery, rectum and anus, etc., and the linings of these natural cavities may be prone to lesions; in some cases, different ablation techniques are used to treat the linings of natural cavities to prevent the spread of lesions to nearby healthy tissue.

[0003] Please refer to a natural cavity ablation electrode with announcement number CN117159130A. In this patent, it is proposed that "the natural cavity ablation electrode catheter in the prior art must rely on an air pump device and a balloon. The air pressure in the balloon is adjusted by controlling the power on and off of the air pump device to control the pressure of the balloon and the natural cavity. After the air pump device is powered on, air is inflated into the balloon. The amount of inflation is controlled by the power-on time. If the air pump device fails, the expansion of the balloon cannot be controlled." The patent has a self-expanding electrode curled and wound on the catheter. In conjunction with the rotating component provided on the catheter, the length of the control winding part and the control pulling part can be changed to facilitate the control of the expansion and contraction of the self-expanding electrode by changing the rotation direction of the rotating component, making the operation simpler and the expansion and contraction of the electrode can be completed without relying on other air pump devices or injection devices.

[0004] However, although the above patent can achieve the adjustment of the expansion and contraction of the self-expanding electrode, it is not convenient to limit the shape of the self-expanding electrode after expansion. The curled and wound self-expanding electrode is not a circular structure after expansion, and there is a gap on the outer wall of the electrode after expansion, which may easily lead to the electrode being unable to completely fit the inner wall of the natural cavity when used in the natural cavity, and easily cause incomplete ablation of the lesion part, affecting the use effect; in view of this, the present application proposes a natural cavity ablation electrode.

After the air pump device is powered on, air is inflated into the balloon, and the amount of air inflation is controlled by the power-on time. If the air pump device fails, the problem of being unable to control the expansion of the balloon will result.

[0023] Among them, a torsion spring 301 is installed on the outer side of the winding roller 3, which makes it convenient for the winding roller 3 to automatically wind up the flexible electrode 4 under the action of the torsion spring 301. The internal rotation of the movable block 1 is connected to a rotating push block 7 for pushing the expansion plate 2. The interior of the movable block 1 is provided with a movable groove corresponding to the position of the rotating push block 7, which makes it convenient to use the movable groove to make the rotating push block 7 rotate inside the movable block 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a catheter 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 1, and a handle 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the catheter 12. A guide portion 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 1, so that the movable block 1 can be conveniently moved in the natural cavity by using the guide portion 11. An adjusting component for driving the rotating push block 7 to rotate is provided inside the movable block 1.

[0025] Among them, the adjustment component includes a rotating rod 9 rotatably connected to the inside of the movable block 1, and the upper and lower sides of the rotating push block 7 are fixedly connected with transmission gears 8. The outer side of the rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 10 meshing with the transmission gear 8, so that the transmission effect of the driving gear 10 and the transmission gear 8 can be conveniently utilized to make the rotating push block 7 rotate as the rotating rod 9 rotates.

[0027] In this embodiment, a reset guide assembly for pulling the expansion plate 2 inward is provided inside the movable block 1, and the reset guide assembly includes a limit rod 5 fixedly connected to the expansion plate 2 on the side close to the movable block 1, and a compression spring 6 is fixedly connected inside the movable block 1, and the other end of the compression spring 6 is fixedly connected to the limit rod 5, so that the elastic force of the compression spring 6 can be used to continuously pull the limit rod 5 toward the inside of the movable block 1, so that the expansion plate 2 can move toward the movable block 1 without external force. The expansion plate 2 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for the expansion plate 2 to fit the outer wall of the movable block 1 when the electrode is contracted.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are:

[0029] The natural cavity ablation electrode can control the rotation of the rotating push block 7 so that it pushes the expansion plate 2 outward, and the expansion plate 2 drives the flexible electrode 4 to move outward, so that the flexible electrode 4 can expand outward in a nearly circular form, thereby facilitating the expansion and contraction adjustment of the electrode without using an air pump device or an injection device, thereby improving the practicality of the device; and because the flexible electrode 4 expands outward evenly in a nearly circular form, the contact surface between the flexible electrode 4 and the inner wall of the natural cavity can be improved during use, making it more convenient to treat the diseased part, thereby facilitating further improving the practical effect of the device.

[0030] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0031] The natural cavity ablation electrode can be expanded by rotating the rotating rod 15 when the electrode needs to be expanded, so that the rotating rod 15 can drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate by using the torsion tube 14, so that the rotating rod 9 can drive the three rotating push blocks 7 to rotate synchronously by using the transmission effect of the driving gear 10 and the transmission gear 8, so that the rotating push block 7 can push the expansion plate 2 to move outward, and the expansion plate 2 can drive the flexible electrode 4 to move outward, so that the flexible electrode 4 can be expanded outward uniformly in a nearly circular form, so that the contact surface between the flexible electrode 4 and the inner wall of the natural cavity can be improved when in use, so that the treatment of the diseased part is more convenient.

[0032] During this process, the winding roller 3 can rotate with the movement of the flexible electrode 4, so that the torsion spring 301 accumulates elastic force; when the processing is completed, the expansion plate 2 can be moved toward the movable block 1 by rotating the rotating rod 15 in the opposite direction. At this time, the torsion spring 301 set can drive the winding roller 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the function of automatically winding up the flexible electrode 4, thereby facilitating preparation for the next expansion.
