Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasound positioning technology, specifically to an ultrasound positioning device for fixing breast tissue. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medicine, the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases are crucial. Among these procedures, biopsy of suspected breast lesions is a key method for determining the nature of the lesion. Accurate and safe biopsy relies on precise localization and fixation of the breast tissue to ensure a representative tissue sample is obtained while avoiding damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

[0003] Ultrasound examination, as a non-invasive and radiation-free imaging method, is widely used in the diagnosis of breast diseases. It can display the anatomical structure and lesion characteristics of breast tissue in real time, providing intuitive image information for puncture localization.

[0004] In existing techniques, doctors first perform a physical examination on the patient to preliminarily determine the approximate location of the breast lump through palpation. Then, the patient assumes a suitable position (usually supine) to expose the breast area. The doctor applies coupling gel to the probe surface of the ultrasound device and uses the probe to perform a sliding scan on the breast surface, observing the internal structure and attempting to locate the echogenicity of the lump and its relationship with surrounding tissues. Once the puncture point is determined, the doctor, relying on experience and touch, marks the location on the skin with a marker. Subsequently, the puncture needle is inserted according to the marked point. During the puncture, the doctor monitors the needle's path and tip position in real time using ultrasound images to ensure accurate insertion into the target lump and acquisition of a tissue sample.

[0005] During the puncture process, the position of breast tissue may shift due to factors such as the patient's breathing movements and changes in body posture, leading to inaccurate positioning. This can cause the tissue to slip during puncture, potentially damaging surrounding tissues and affecting the accuracy and safety of the puncture. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ultrasound positioning device for fixing the breast, so as to solve the problem that in the prior art, during the puncture process, the position of the breast tissue may be displaced due to factors such as the patient's breathing movements and changes in body posture, resulting in inaccurate positioning, easy slippage during puncture, and damage to surrounding tissues, thus affecting the accuracy and safety of puncture.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] An ultrasound positioning device for fixing a breast includes a mounting plate and an ultrasound probe detachably fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The probe's detection surface faces downward and protrudes from the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is circular, and a fan-shaped fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate. A first clamping plate and a second clamping plate are respectively installed on both sides of the fixing plate. Flexible connecting pieces are fixedly connected between the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate and the fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, an annular support rod is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are both fan-shaped. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate near the mounting plate. A through hole adapted to the support rod is opened on both connecting blocks, and the support rod passes through the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a fan-shaped first extension plate is hinged to the first clamping plate, and the first extension plate is located on the side of the first clamping plate away from the fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a first finger ring is fixedly connected to the first clamp.

[0012] Furthermore, a fan-shaped second extension plate is provided on one side of the second clamping plate, and a sliding groove adapted to the second extension plate is provided on the side wall of the second clamping plate, and the second extension plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a second finger ring is fixedly connected to the second clamp.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the fixing plate are slidably connected with fan-shaped cover plates, and the width of the connecting piece is smaller than the width of the cover plate.

[0015] Furthermore, both the upper and lower sides of the fixing plate are fixedly connected with protrusions, and both cover plates are provided with grooves that match the protrusions. Both protrusions are slidably connected in the grooves.

[0016] Furthermore, an annular pressure plate is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a slot in the middle that is compatible with the ultrasonic probe, and the ultrasonic probe is snapped into the slot.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This ultrasound positioning device for fixing breast tissue involves applying coupling gel to the probe surface and using the probe to scan the breast surface, observing the internal structure and attempting to identify the echogenicity of the mass and its relationship with surrounding tissues. After determining the puncture point, the mounting plate, fixation plate, first clamp, and second clamp are pressed against the area around the puncture point. The first and second clamps are connected to the fixation plate via flexible connecting pieces. These clamps compress the sides of the breast, causing the area around the puncture point to bulge upwards. The puncture point is marked on the skin with a marker. The puncture needle is then inserted according to the marked point. During the puncture, the needle path and tip position are monitored in real-time using ultrasound images to ensure accurate insertion into the target mass and acquisition of tissue samples. Compared to existing technologies, the use of the mounting plate, fixation plate, first clamp, and second clamp to press against the area around the puncture point reduces breast tissue displacement, lowers the probability of slippage and damage to surrounding tissues during puncture, and improves the accuracy and safety of the puncture.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ultrasound positioning device for fixing breast tissue, including a mounting plate 1 and an ultrasound probe 2 detachably fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. The detection surface of the ultrasound probe 2 faces downward and protrudes from the bottom surface of the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is circular, and a fan-shaped fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 1. A first clamping plate 4 and a second clamping plate 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the fixing plate 3. Flexible connecting pieces 6 are fixedly connected between the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 and the fixing plate 3.

[0038] Working principle and usage:

[0039] Step 1: Apply coupling gel to the probe surface of ultrasound probe 2, and use ultrasound probe 2 to perform a sliding scan on the surface of the breast to observe the internal structure of the breast and try to find the echo characteristics of the mass and its relationship with the surrounding tissue.

[0040] Step 2: After determining the puncture point, push the mounting plate 1, fixing plate 3, first clamp 4 and second clamp 5 to press the area around the puncture point. The first clamp 4 and second clamp 5 are connected to the fixing plate 3 through a flexible connecting piece 6. The first clamp 4 and second clamp 5 can squeeze the two sides of the breast, making the area around the puncture point bulge upward. Mark the location of the puncture point on the skin with a marker pen.

[0041] Step 3: Operate the puncture needle to puncture the marked point. During the puncture process, monitor the path and tip position of the puncture needle in real time through ultrasound images to ensure that the puncture needle accurately enters the target mass and obtains a tissue sample.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies, by pressing the area around the puncture point with the mounting plate 1, fixing plate 3, first clamp 4 and second clamp 5, the displacement of breast tissue position is reduced, the probability of slippage during puncture and damage to surrounding tissues is reduced, and the accuracy and safety of puncture are improved.

A connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 near the mounting plate 1. Both connecting blocks 8 are provided with through holes 9 that are adapted to the support rod 7. The support rod 7 passes through the through holes 9.

[0044] In this solution: a ring-shaped support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 are both fan-shaped.

[0045] The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 are slidably connected to the support rod 7 via the connecting block 8. The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 can also rotate around the axis of the support rod 7 via the connecting block 8. This makes it easier to maintain the compression area between the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 and the fixed plate 3 for a longer period of time.
