Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a radio frequency closed catheter with a model storage function. Background Art
[0002] Radiofrequency occlusion catheters are highly effective, safe, and non-invasive medical devices for treating varicose veins and other venous conditions. They typically consist of a catheter, a radiofrequency generator, a switch, a Luer adapter, a connecting cable, and a cable connector. The catheter is a flexible tube that is inserted into the patient's body and delivers radiofrequency energy into the vein. The radiofrequency generator controls the output of radiofrequency energy and can be adjusted as needed.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN221285889U discloses an intravenous radiofrequency closure catheter comprising an insertion section, a handle assembly, and a cable assembly. The insertion section comprises a treatment section and a non-treatment section, the treatment section comprising a ball head, a PI tube, a support PEEK tube, an FEP heat shrink tubing, a heating wire, and a thermocouple. The support PEEK tube is disposed on the outside of the PI tube. The heating wire and the thermocouple are disposed on the outside and inside of the support PEEK tube, respectively. The support PEEK tube is provided with at least one single-sided hole extending through the inside and outside of the tube. The thermocouple's temperature sensing probe extends through the single-sided hole and contacts the starting end of a double-row, parallel-wound heating wire. The FEP heat shrink tubing is disposed on the outside of the heating wire. The heating wire of the present invention is arranged in a double-row, parallel-wound manner, which improves energy output density while maintaining good flexibility at the front end of the catheter, making it easier to pass during surgery. Furthermore, the thermocouple is disposed between the heating wires, and the thermocouple temperature sensing probe is in close contact with the heating wires, providing more direct thermal feedback and facilitating timely and accurate feedback.
[0004] The thermoelectric potential of a thermocouple depends not only on the hot-end temperature but also on the cold-end temperature. Only when the cold-end temperature remains constant can the thermoelectric potential accurately reflect the hot-end temperature. Since thermocouples operate in different environments, the cold-end temperature will also vary accordingly. The above solution does not measure the cold-end temperature of the thermocouple, and changes in the cold-end temperature can affect the accuracy of the thermocouple temperature measurement.

The catheter body 1 includes an insertion section and a non-insertion section. One end of the non-insertion section of the catheter body 1 is connected to the shell 2, and a heating element 3 is arranged on the outside of the end of the insertion section away from the shell 2. The heating element 3 is connected to the circuit board. A thermocouple is arranged in the insertion section, one end of the thermocouple is in contact with the heating element 3, and the other end of the thermocouple is connected to the circuit board.
[0028] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the catheter body 1 includes an insertion section and a non-insertion section, the insertion section is used to insert into the patient's position to be treated, and then the heating element 3 is started. The heating element 3 can use a heating wire, and the heating element 3 can heat the position to be treated for treatment. When the heating element 3 is working, the thermocouple arranged inside the catheter body 1 contacts the heating element 3 through the temperature sensing probe, thereby measuring the temperature of the heating element 3, providing a reference for adjusting the temperature. The cold end of the thermocouple is connected to the temperature measuring chip on the circuit board. The temperature measuring chip uses an existing temperature measuring chip. The temperature measurement chip can measure the real-time temperature of the cold end of the thermocouple. Based on the measured real-time temperature of the cold end of the thermocouple, it is convenient to perform cold end compensation on the thermocouple. The cold end compensation can compensate for the cold end temperature of the thermocouple through a cold end compensation module. The cold end compensation module is arranged in the shell 2. The cold end compensation module is connected to the cold end of the thermocouple. The cold end compensation module adopts an existing device and will not be described here. By measuring the cold end temperature of the thermocouple, it can provide a reference for cold end compensation, which is convenient for temperature compensation of the cold end of the thermocouple, thereby improving the accuracy of the thermocouple's temperature measurement of the heating element 3.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] On the basis of the above embodiment 1, a data storage chip is provided on the circuit board, and the data storage chip stores the model of the catheter body 1 .
[0031] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the model of the catheter body 1 is stored in the data storage chip. After installing different catheter bodies 1, the circuit board is connected to the host, and the host can obtain the model of the catheter body 1. The host stores the maximum power parameters that the model can withstand, and outputs corresponding power for different catheter body 1 models, so that the output power does not exceed the maximum power that the model can withstand, greatly improving the safety of operation and output.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] On the basis of Example 1 or 2, as Figure 1 As shown, scale marks 4 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the insertion section.
[0034] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the insertion length of the insertion section can be intuitively judged through the scale line 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the insertion section and improves the reliability of treatment.
[0035] Example 4
[0036] On the basis of any one of Examples 1-3, Figure 1 As shown, an indication section 5 is provided at one end of the insertion section close to the non-insertion section.
[0037] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the length of the heating element 3 is set to be various, and the length of the heating element 3 is different, so the indication interval of the indication segment 5 is different, such as Figure 1 As shown, the length of the insertion section is L1, the length of the heating element 3 is L2, and the length of the indicating section 5 is L3. When the heating element 3 is 3 cm, the indicating spacing of the indicating section 5 is correspondingly set to 2.5 cm. When the heating element 3 is 7 cm, the indicating spacing of the indicating section 5 is correspondingly set to 6.5 cm. The indicating section 5 can be used to distinguish the length of the heating element 3, which is convenient for operation.

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the adjustment block 6 can slide outside the non-insertion section to adjust the position of the adjustment block 6. The adjustment block 6 plays a role of limiting. The user can not only judge the model of the catheter body 1 according to the position of the adjustment block 6, but also control the insertion length of the insertion section to prevent the insertion section from being inserted too deeply and causing harm to the patient, thereby improving the safety of the use of the catheter body 1. After the position of the adjustment block 6 is adjusted, the knob 8 is turned, and the knob 8 drives the pressure rod 7 to rotate in the threaded hole, so that the pressure rod 7 contacts the outer wall of the non-insertion section. At this time, the position of the adjustment block 6 is fixed to prevent people from accidentally touching and sliding and causing position changes, thereby improving accuracy. By rotating the knob 8 in the opposite direction, the pressure rod 7 can be separated from the outer wall of the non-insertion section, and the position of the adjustment block 6 can be readjusted to improve flexibility.
