Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microwave electrode technology, and in particular to a microwave electrode for uterine fibroids. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave ablation is a physical thermal ablation method that uses electrodes to generate temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius over a specific time and frequency. When the tumor reaches this temperature, the proteins denature, thereby killing the tumor cells. Radiofrequency ablation involves inserting an electrode catheter into the heart via the femoral artery, internal jugular vein, or subclavian vein. Electrophysiological mapping techniques are used to locate abnormal electrical conduction pathways or ectopic pulsations within the heart. Then, the electrodes at the ends of the large-tipped catheter generate a resistance-induced electrothermal effect within the myocardial tissue, leading to myocardial cell necrosis. This technique is commonly used to treat diseases such as tachyarrhythmias.

[0003] During use, microwave electrodes kill uterine fibroid cells using high temperatures. To avoid damaging tissues along the way, corresponding cooling structures are installed inside. However, some cooling structures tend to mix the heated liquid with the newly introduced liquid, resulting in reduced cooling effect and low efficiency. Therefore, a microwave electrode for uterine fibroids is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a microwave electrode for uterine fibroids, comprising:

[0031] The main component includes a microwave electrode body 1 and an insulating sleeve 2. The insulating sleeve 2 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the microwave electrode body 1.

[0032] The cooling component includes an inlet pipe 14, a liquid exchange area 13, an outlet area 16, an outlet pipe 17, a first micro liquid pump 18, a second micro liquid pump 15, an injection area 11, an injection channel 12, and a sweat-absorbing pad 3.

[0033] A liquid inlet pipe 14 is fixedly installed inside the microwave electrode body 1. A liquid exchange area 13 is opened on the inner wall of the microwave electrode body 1. A liquid outlet area 16 is opened inside the microwave electrode body 1. A liquid outlet pipe 17 is fixedly installed inside the microwave electrode body 1. A first micro liquid pump 18 is fixedly installed at one end of the liquid outlet pipe 17. A second micro liquid pump 15 is fixedly installed inside the liquid inlet pipe 14. An injection area 11 is opened inside the microwave electrode body 1. An injection channel 12 is opened inside the microwave electrode body 1.

[0034] When the liquid enters the liquid exchange zone 13 through the inlet pipe 14, the hotter liquid enters the bottom of the liquid exchange zone 13 due to heat conduction. By driving the first micro liquid pump 18, the liquid outlet zone 16 is used to transfer the higher heat in the liquid exchange zone 13 to the outside, thereby achieving a circulating cooling effect.

[0035] The injection area 11 is connected to the injection channel 12, and the surface of the insulating sleeve 2 is fixedly fitted with a sweat-absorbing pad 3.

[0036] By covering the surface of the microwave electrode body 1 with the insulating sleeve 2, the surface of the microwave electrode body 1 can be protected, preventing the microwave electrode body 1 from being damaged by mechanical damage, dust and other external factors.

[0037] The liquid outlet area 16 is connected to the liquid exchange area 13, the liquid outlet pipe 17 is connected to the liquid outlet area 16, and the liquid inlet pipe 14 is connected to the liquid exchange area 13.

[0038] Working principle: When the controller drives the first micro liquid pump 18 and the second micro liquid pump 15, the flow and transfer of liquid can be realized. At the same time, the flow rate can be controlled and effectively adjusted according to the current operation process. Meanwhile, in the liquid exchange zone 13 of this device, the used liquid is transferred to the bottom after cooling first, so as to avoid heat mixing and effectively ensure the cooling temperature is consistent. The heated liquid will be transferred outward through the liquid outlet zone 16 and the liquid outlet pipe 17. Under the drive of the first micro liquid pump 18, the cold circulation effect is achieved. At the same time, when the injection liquid is transferred to the injection zone 11 through the injection channel 12, it is discharged outward through the through hole to assist the ablation process.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is based on the above embodiment 1, with the addition of a control component. The control component includes a chip 5, a cable 6, a temperature sensor 7, an electrode 10, a conversion spring 9, a through hole, an ablation head 20, a monitor 8, and a connection terminal 19.

[0040] A chip 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the microwave electrode body 1. A cable 6 is fixedly installed on the control end of the chip 5. A temperature sensor 7 is fixedly installed on one end of the cable 6. An electrode 10 is fixedly installed on one end of the microwave electrode body 1. A conversion spring 9 is fixedly installed inside the electrode 10.

[0041] Temperature sensor 7 allows doctors to adjust the power according to actual requirements during operation, thereby achieving the ablation of uterine fibroids and benefiting the doctor's surgical process. At the same time, the conversion spring 9 makes the motor head enter the uterine fibroid more accurately and quickly.

[0042] Multiple through holes are provided inside the electrode end 10, and the through holes are connected to the electrode end 10.

[0043] One end of the electrode 10 is fixedly connected to an ablation head 20, and a monitor 8 is fixedly installed inside the ablation head 20.

[0044] A connection terminal 19 is fixedly installed on the right end of the microwave electrode body 1, and the connection part of the connection terminal 19 is electrically connected to the connection part of the chip 5.

[0045] Working principle: The bending and loosening of the electrode 10 can be controlled by the conversion spring 9, which facilitates the accurate and rapid location of the uterine fibroid. The electrode 10 also has pressure and temperature sensors 7 for real-time positioning in the magnetic field. The electrode 10 does not generate heat when passing through the body, so it will not damage the tissues along the way during the puncture. After the puncture is in place, the heat-generating part is punctured into the solid tumor. After setting the power and starting the ablation, the uterine fibroid can be completely ablated.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly.
