[0002] Currently, most electrocautery snares on the market are made of PTFE tubing. PTFE tubing has excellent insulation properties, preventing the tubing from being punctured by high voltage during electrocautery or electrocoagulation. However, many hospitals now try to avoid electrocautery for polyps that can be cold-cut.

[0003] The prior art disclosed in CN203776982U is a snare device that integrates heating and cooling, including a snare, a cable connecting the snare, a wristband connecting the cable, the wristband being fixed to a core rod, a limiting block being provided at one end of the wristband near the snare, a positioning cap being provided at the front end of the core rod, and a conductive plug for electrically connecting the cable being provided on the positioning cap. The snare is woven from sharp metal wire, and a color layer for measuring the size of polyps is coated on the metal wire. An outer sheath is provided outside the cable.

[0004] In the existing technology, due to the poor mechanical properties of the PTFE outer sheath, the outer sheath is prone to wrinkling at the end due to excessive stretching of the cable during cold cutting. In order to avoid excessive stretching or wrinkling of the outer sheath during the use of the snare, doctors need to use a variety of instruments to assist in the operation. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a hot and cold double-cutting snare, comprising a snare, an outer tube, a pull cable, a handle, and a sliding seat; the proximal end of the outer tube is connected to the handle, the snare is disposed at the distal end of the outer tube, the pull cable is disposed inside the outer tube and the handle, the distal end of the pull cable is fixedly connected to the snare through a connecting tube, and the proximal end of the pull cable is fixedly connected to the sliding seat slidably mounted on the handle; it also includes an inner tube, which is sleeved on the pull cable; wherein, the outer tube is made of PE material, and the inner tube is made of PTFE material.

[0007] Preferably, the wall thickness of the outer tube is greater than that of the inner tube.

[0008] Preferably, the inner tube and the outer tube are fitted with a clearance, and the clearance between the outer tube and the inner tube is greater than the clearance between the inner tube and the zipper.

[0009] Preferably, the outer diameter of the connecting pipe is larger than the inner diameter of the inner pipe, allowing the cable and the inner pipe to move relative to each other, and the connecting pipe to move into the outer pipe and abut against the far end of the inner pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the inner tube is fixedly connected to the cable.

[0011] Preferably, the inner hole of the outer tube is a through hole with a consistent inner diameter.

[0012] Preferably, the distal end of the inner tube is located inside the outer tube.

[0013] As a preferred option, the outer wall of the handle is provided with a scale.

[0014] Preferably, an electrode holder is provided on the sliding seat, and the electrode holder is electrically connected to the cable.

[0015] Preferably, the proximal end of the outer tube is covered with a sheath, and the outer tube is connected to the handle by a nut.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this utility model are as follows: the outer side of the cable is protected by two different materials, with PTFE material with better insulation performance on the inner side and PE material with better mechanical properties on the outer side. This satisfies the insulation performance of the snare and prevents the tube from being broken down by high voltage during electrocautery or electrocoagulation.

[0025] In the following embodiments, the location of the ring is considered the distal end, and the handle for handheld use is considered the proximal end. Example

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The hot and cold double-cut snare shown includes a snare 1, an outer tube 2, a pull cable 3, a handle 5, and a sliding seat 7. The proximal end of the outer tube 2 is connected to the handle 5, the snare 1 is located at the distal end of the outer tube 2, the pull cable 3 is located inside the outer tube 2 and the handle 5, the distal end of the pull cable 3 is fixedly connected to the snare 1 through a connecting pipe 4, and the proximal end of the pull cable 3 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 7 slidably mounted on the handle 5. It also includes an inner tube 10, which is sleeved on the pull cable 3 and located between the connecting pipe 4 and the sliding seat 7. The outer tube 2 is made of PE material, and the inner tube 10 is made of PTFE material. The wall thickness of the outer tube 2 is greater than the wall thickness of the inner tube 10, the gap between the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 10 is greater than the gap between the inner tube 10 and the pull cable 3, and the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the inner tube 10.

[0027] With this design, the outer side of the cable is protected by two different materials: PTFE, which has better insulation properties, is located on the inner side, and PE, which has better mechanical properties, is located on the outer side. This satisfies the insulation performance of the snare, preventing the tube from being punctured by high voltage during electrocautery or electrocoagulation, while also meeting the mechanical performance requirements of the cold snare for the cold cutting action. This reduces the number of instruments used during the operation, shortens the operation time, and thus reduces the surgical risk.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the connecting tube 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner tube 10, allowing the cable 3 and the inner tube 10 to move relative to each other. The connecting tube 3 can move into the outer tube 2 and abut against the distal end of the inner tube 10. This arrangement facilitates instrument manufacturing, ensures the effectiveness of the snare, and confines the inner tube to the cable.

[0029] In this embodiment, the distal end of the inner tube 10 is located inside the outer tube.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cable 3 and the loop 1 are fixedly connected by the connecting pipe 4, which can extend into the outer tube 2 and abut against the end of the inner tube 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the handle 5 is provided with a scale. This design makes it easier for the user to control the movement distance of the cable 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, an electrode seat 8 is provided on the sliding seat 7, and the electrode seat 8 is electrically connected to the cable 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, finger holes are provided near the sliding seat 7 and the handle 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer tube 2 is covered with a protective sleeve 9 at the end facing the handle 5, and the protective sleeve 9 is installed on the handle by a nut 6. Example

[0035] Unlike Example 1, the inner tube is fixed to the cable by means of thermoplasticizing, applying adhesive, or heat fitting. Everything else is the same as in Example 1.

[0036] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
