Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the medical instrument technical field, more specifically, relate to a radioactive particle implantation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Radioactive particle implantation therapy, also known as brachytherapy, is a technique that involves implanting tiny radioactive sources (particles) directly into the tumor or the tissue infiltrated by the tumor, and using the continuous low-energy gamma rays emitted by the radioactive particle source to treat the tumor tissue locally. This method aims to maximize the radiation damage and destruction of tumor tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissue. The commonly used iodine 125 radioactive particle is a miniature radioactive source, which is formed by sealing a silver rod with a diameter of 0.5mm and a length of 3.0mm, which permeates iodine 125, in a titanium tube with a diameter of 0.8mm, a length of 4.5mm and a wall thickness of 0.05mm. In recent years, with the development of medical technology, radioactive particle implantation therapy has been increasingly applied to the treatment of tumors including lung cancer, liver cancer, etc.

[0003] There are three ways of particle implantation therapy: template implantation, B-ultrasound and CT-guided implantation, and intraoperative implantation. The first two methods require the use of puncture needles. Currently, the widely used puncture needles are mainly traditional bevel needle and triangular needle. For example, the radioactive particle implantation puncture needle with triangular needle head disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN 215349349 U is used to improve the accuracy of particle release, but there is still a risk of tissue damage. The existing devices have the following disadvantages when in use: the bevel / triangular needle head causes great damage to the tissue and is easy to pierce blood vessels, especially in tissues with rich blood supply such as lung, liver, brain, etc., and tissue and blood vessel damage needs to be vigilant. The bevel needle implantation position deviates, and the accuracy is insufficient, etc., which ultimately leads to limited treatment effect, and the existing technology does not accurately position the particle implantation, and the particle moves and wanders, including moving in fragile tissues such as lung, liver, brain, etc., thereby causing radioactive damage to non-target areas. If the particle is close to the superficial skin or mucosa, it will also cause local damage, such as skin and mucosa ulcers. If the particle is not accurately implanted into the patient's body, it will also cause a decrease in medical effect and an increase in the risk of medical accidents.

[0004] At present, most of the particle implanters on the market can only accommodate about ten particles. For example, a cartridge type radioactive particle implantation gun disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN217794145U has a plurality of sealed seeds inside the particle cartridge. Currently, each cartridge can hold ten radioactive particles in actual production and application. The existing technology also discloses a particle implantation gun which is composed of a gun body, a handle, a particle pushing rod, a cartridge type particle bin, etc. The common standard cartridge quantity of the cartridge type particle bin is generally 10. According to the different sizes of tumors and different particle implantation schemes, the tumor center is dense, the periphery is sparse, the large tumor body finally implants more particles, and may need four or fifty particles. The small tumor body may only need a few or a dozen to ensure the curative effect. Therefore, developing a device that can simultaneously implant multiple particles is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Utility model content
