On the other hand, with the spray angle equal with the angle of inclination of inclined bore 111 (α) from flushing opening 112 The liquid of front-end edge extreme direction injection forward is in axis of a cylinder to displacement (L2) when, in the direction (footpath of post axially vertical with post To) mobile L2The distance of tan α.
Thus, the liquid for ejecting from the front-end edge of flushing opening 112 is in axis of a cylinder to displacement (L2) it is mobile when, even Tie a diameter of D of the imaginary circle of the position reached by the liquid1- 2L1·tanβ+2·L2Tan α=D1+2(L2· Tan α-L1·tanβ)。
Therefore, the ablation probe 100 set up according to above-mentioned formula (1), i.e., suitable with the maximum gauge of front termination electrode 20 Diameter (the D of head 212) the imaginary diameter of a circle (D that links with the position that reaches liquid1+2(L2Tan α- L1Tan β)) usual consistent ablation probe 100, reach can the liquid that the front-end edge from flushing opening 112 is ejected The vicinity of the electrode surface of the maximum gauge part of front termination electrode 20.
In the diagram, the outer plug wire EX after the straight line extrapolation (prolongation) of the inner side of division inclined bore 111 is schematically illustrated The walking along the street of the liquid sprayed with the front-end edge of opening 112 from flushing.
In ablation probe 100, from the rear end of the front end reducing diameter part 10A of probe post 10 to flushing with the front end of opening 112 The axis of a cylinder of edge to distance (to the projector distance of the central shaft of probe post 10) (L1) 1.0~3.0mm is preferably, more preferably 1.5~2.7mm.
In above-mentioned distance (L1) it is too small in the case of, it is impossible to meet above-mentioned formula (1), in order to meet above-mentioned formula (1), no Obtaining does not make the angle of inclination of inclined bore 111 become big (more than 12.5 °), so as to constitute the electrode catheter of the present invention.
On the other hand, in above-mentioned distance (L1) it is excessive in the case of, the distance of inclined bore 111 is long, processing become tired It is difficult.Further, since ring electrode 40 cannot be arranged in inclined bore 111, therefore produce ring electrode 40 and front termination electrode 20 interval is excessive, and the design for deferring to the requirement for making these electrode gap diminish becomes difficult problem.
The angle of inclination (β) of the front end reducing diameter part 10A of probe post 10 is preferably 5.0~30.0 °, more preferably 7.0~ 20.0°。
In the case where above-mentioned angle of inclination (β) is too small, due in order to obtain the angle of inclination of inclined bore 111, producing Will be apart from (L1) excessive demand is designed as, so as to cause problem same as described above.
On the other hand, in the case where above-mentioned angle of inclination (β) is excessive, the distance of inclined bore 111, particularly to flushing Diminished with the distance (in Fig. 4, dividing the air line distance in the outside of inclined bore 111) of the end edge of opening 112, exist and will spray The impaired misgivings of the liquid guiding function that extreme direction is extruded forward.And, the liquid for now spraying mistake to the outer direction at once Degree extension, becomes over so as to spread.
- the 2L of above-mentioned formula (1)1Tan β with from the rear end of front end reducing diameter part 10A to flushing with before opening 112 The cut-off of the front end reducing diameter part 10A of ora terminalis is suitable.
In 2L1In the case that tan β are excessive, due to the diameter of probe post it is excessive, so the overall design of probe becomes It is difficult.
From flushing with the axis of a cylinder of the front-end edge of opening 112 to the maximum gauge part of front termination electrode 20 to distance (visiting The projector distance of the central shaft of pin post 10) (L2) it is preferably 1.0~2.5mm, more preferably 1.2~2.0mm.
In above-mentioned distance (L2) it is too small in the case of, the liquid sprayed with opening from flushing is by the rear end part of head Blocking becomes difficult so as to the vicinity for reaching the electrode surface of maximum gauge part.
On the other hand, in above-mentioned distance (L2) it is excessive in the case of, the liquid sprayed with opening from flushing reaches maximum straight The vicinity of the electrode surface of path portion becomes difficult.
In ablation probe 100, the angle of inclination (α) of inclined bore 111 for 5.0~12.5 ° (wherein remove 9.1~ 9.3°)。
Above-mentioned formula (1) is set up, also, above-mentioned angle of inclination (α) is more than 5 °, thus enables that the spherical of front termination electrode 20 Diameter (the D of part 212) it is for carrying out (for example, the diameter phase of head 21 of size necessary to efficiently burn treatment Ratio (D to the external diameter of probe post 102/D1) for more than 0.7).
In the case that above-mentioned angle of inclination is less than 5 °, the diameter of the head of front termination electrode is too small, above-mentioned using possessing The ablation probe of such front termination electrode cannot efficiently carry out burn treatment.
In addition, above-mentioned angle of inclination (α) is less than 12.5 °, thus enable that by inclined bore 111 from flushing opening 112 forward termination electrode 20 maximum gauge part injection liquid reliably reach maximum gauge part electrode surface it is attached Closely.
In addition, simultaneously edge is sprayed from flushing opening 112 to by the inclined bore 111 that angle of inclination (α) is less than 12.5 ° The liquid stabilising ground effect of the shape flowing of front termination electrode 20 makes center position (inner side) of the above-mentioned flowing towards front termination electrode 20 Power (based on the liquid for flowing about to electrode surface and the current difference (pressure of liquid for separating from electrode surface and flow Difference) power), thus, the liquid for reaching the vicinity of the electrode surface of maximum gauge part is then able to form covering front end hemisphere The such flowings of face 21A, (are reliably rinsed thereby, it is possible to make liquid fully be contacted with the front end hemisphere face 21A of front termination electrode Front end hemisphere face 21A).
In the case where the angle of inclination of inclined bore is excessive, even from flushing with opening 112 towards front termination electrode 20 Maximum gauge part injection liquid, cannot also make aforesaid liquid fully reach the attached of the electrode surface of maximum gauge part Closely, even if in addition, also easily spreading for the liquid near the electrode surface of arrival maximum gauge part, formation covers front end hemisphere The flowing of liquid as face becomes difficult.
