Radiofrequency ablation device needle withdrawal system to avoid scarring

This application relates to the field of medical devices and discloses a needle withdrawal system for radiofrequency ablation devices that avoids scarring. Based on a standard radiofrequency ablation device, the system integrates a needle position detection device (real-time monitoring of depth and speed) and a needle tip temperature sensor. During needle withdrawal, the radiofrequency power is dynamically adjusted according to the withdrawal speed (higher power for faster speed); when the needle tip depth is less than a predetermined threshold (close to the body surface), the radiofrequency output is automatically stopped and a prompt to wait for cooling occurs; once the temperature drops below a safe threshold, a prompt indicates that the needle can be completely withdrawn. Through this closed-loop control, the thermal coagulation and end-point cooling processes of the needle track are precisely managed, effectively preventing thermal damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissue and significantly reducing scar formation.

Circular knitting machine structure

A circular knitting machine structure includes a plurality of needles and a plurality of sinkers. Each of the needles is controlled to move in one of a first half needle track and a second half needle track. The first half needle track has a take-down point later than the take-down point of the second half needle track. Each of the sinkers forms an inclined surface on a side facing each of the needles. Each of the needles knits a face yarn and a ground yarn. When one of the needles moves in the first half needle track, the face yarn does not change position and a normal loop is formed. When one of the needles moves in the second half needle track, the face yarn temporarily rests on the inclined surface of one of the sinkers and changes position relative to the ground yarn, thereby forming a yarn changing loop.
