Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrostimulation surgery, in particular to an electrode placement assistance device for spinal cord electrostimulation surgery. Background Art

[0002] Spinal cord electrostimulation (SCS): It is a new method of placing an electrode into the epidural space of the spinal canal and blocking the pain signal from being transmitted to the brain by current stimulation, thereby achieving pain management; usually, the percutaneous puncture electrode implantation method is the first choice for SCS testing.

[0003] During spinal cord electrostimulation surgery, to ensure the surgical effect, the electrode must be placed into the epidural space of the spinal canal. The epidural space of the spinal canal is filled with fat, internal vertebral venous plexus and lymphatic vessels, and the spinal nerve roots and their accompanying blood vessels pass through it, presenting a negative pressure. The spinal cord electrostimulation electrode is relatively soft, and it is difficult to control the direction when placing the electrode into the epidural space of the spinal canal. The direction can only be changed by rotating the external guide wire, which inevitably leads to repeated punctures and fluoroscopies. When the electrode placement is not ideal, or repeated placements, or multiple punctures occur, the following adverse effects are likely to occur: it is easy to increase the risk of spinal canal infection in patients, and the possibility of spinal epidural hematoma also increases; the patient's dura mater is punctured during the operation, and the patient has a headache after the operation; the material cost of spinal cord electrostimulation is relatively high, the effect is not ideal, and the economic burden on the patient is relatively large.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an electrode placement assistance device for spinal cord electrostimulation surgery. Summary of the Utility Model

An operation lever for controlling the direction of the snake bone tube is installed at one end of the endoscope body away from the snake bone tube. It also includes a catheter, a guide sleeve, a fixed tube, a delivery tube, a trachea, and an electrode body. A fixed tube is slidably arranged on one side of the endoscope body. One end of the fixed tube close to the endoscope body is connected to a guide sleeve. The guide sleeve passes through one side of the endoscope body and slides in the snake bone tube. One end of the guide sleeve away from the endoscope body is fixedly connected to a catheter. The catheter slides in the snake bone tube. A delivery tube is installed on one side of the fixed tube. The delivery tube is communicated with the fixed tube. One end of the delivery tube close to the endoscope body is connected and communicated with a trachea. The trachea passes through the fixed tube and is slidably connected to the guide sleeve and the catheter. An electrode body is slidably arranged in the guide sleeve. The trachea is in contact with the electrode body.

[0007] Optionally, a frustum is provided at one end of the puncture needle close to the endoscope body, and the end of the puncture needle away from the endoscope body is a bevel.

A frustum is arranged at the upper end of the puncture needle 1, and the frustum on the puncture needle 1 is used to limit the position where the puncture needle 1 penetrates deeply. The lower end of the puncture needle 1 is beveled to facilitate the puncture needle 1 to penetrate into the patient's body. An anti-slip ring 12 is sleeved outside the endoscope body 2. When holding the endoscope body 2, the anti-slip ring 12 can increase friction and play an anti-slip role. The snake bone tube 202 is installed at the lower end of the endoscope body 2, and the snake bone tube 202 passes through the puncture needle 1. The operation lever 201 for controlling the direction of the snake bone tube 202 is installed at the upper end of the endoscope body 2. It also includes a catheter 3, a guide sleeve 4, a fixing tube 5, a delivery tube 8, a trachea 9, and an electrode body 10.

The guide sleeve 4 passes through the left side of the endoscope body 2 and slides in the snake bone tube 202. The lower end of the guide sleeve 4 is fixedly connected with the catheter 3, and the catheter 3 slides in the snake bone tube 202. The upper part of the fixing tube 5 is fixedly connected with a handle 6. By holding the handle 6 tightly, it is convenient to insert the guide sleeve 4 and the catheter 3 into the endoscope body 2. Three rubber blocks 11 are embedded and installed on the front side of the handle 6. When holding the handle 6, the rubber blocks 11 play an anti-slip role. The delivery tube 8 is installed at the rear side of the fixing tube 5, and the delivery tube 8 is communicated with the fixing tube 5. One end of the delivery tube 8 close to the endoscope body 2 is connected and communicated with the trachea 9. The trachea 9 is a PVC tube with a closed end and a hollow interior, making the trachea 9 have good flexibility and can be curled and contracted.
