Description

Minimally invasive steam probe for tumor treatment and treatment equipment
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of thermal ablation equipment for tumor treatment, and particularly relates to a minimally invasive steam probe for tumor treatment and treatment equipment.
Background
Aiming at the treatment of malignant tumors, the method has long been a great challenge facing the biomedical engineering community at home and abroad. Surgical excision, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are considered as the most standard treatment means for one time. However, the surgical excision is damaged greatly and causes limb stuffiness, and side effects caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy often bring serious physical and psychological pains to patients, and all the factors inevitably reduce the survival rate and the survival quality of the patients. Therefore, the minimally invasive treatment means which can not only effectively kill tumor cells but also ensure low injury and toxic and side effects is sought, and the minimally invasive treatment means become a great target for pursuing the clinical medical field and biomedical engineering field.
At present, minimally invasive interventional physical therapy has become a development front of the related fields, and corresponding technologies have also become a high point for developing the market of advanced medical equipment. Among the various efforts, hyperthermia is a new physiotherapy that has been developed very rapidly in recent years. The high-temperature hyperthermia is a physical treatment method for killing tumors by heating, and has the remarkable advantages of definite curative effect, strong directionality and the like, so that the high-temperature hyperthermia is widely regarded by the clinical medical community; in particular, the side effect of the hyperthermia technology is far lower than that of conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so that the "green therapy" is earned in the clinical treatment of tumors, and the hyperthermia technology is rapidly developed at home and abroad.
The existing thermotherapy equipment mainly uses radio frequency and microwaves, has a complex structure and high cost, and is difficult to popularize widely. For example, a microwave hyperthermia machine needs to generate a complex circuit to generate microwave output, and because the electromagnetic field generated by the machine can interfere with temperature measurement, the temperature measurement requirement is high, and a protective device is needed to be adopted at a probe so as not to damage normal tissues; while other thermal therapeutic machines such as radio frequency, ultrasound, etc. are prone to cause overheating pain without cold water. All these hyperthermia machine probes are based on the use of complex field-effect emissions, the design of their cooling system is relatively difficult and the dosage is difficult to determine when hyperthermia is performed.

Referring to fig. 3 to 4, in one aspect, the present invention provides a minimally invasive steam probe for tumor treatment, comprising a needle tube 43, a needle tip 44 disposed at one end of the needle tube 43, and a handle 42 disposed at the opposite end of the needle tube 43, wherein a shunt 46 is disposed inside the handle 42 and close to the needle tube 43, an inflow joint 41 is disposed at one end of the handle 42 far from the needle tube 43, and a reflux joint 45 is disposed at one side of the handle 42 close to the end of the needle tube; the inlet end of the return fitting 45 communicates with the return outlet of the shunt portion 46.
The tube wall of the needle tube 43 has a treatment section close to the needle tip 44 and a heat insulation section far from the needle tip 44, the needle tube 43 has a central tube 431, and the central tube 431 penetrates through the needle tube 43 and the handle 42 to serve as an inflow channel of steam.
The end of the central tube 431 communicates with the vapor outlet chamber 435 where the high temperature vapor delivered through the central tube 431 condenses to a liquid.
An inner fin 434 (inner fin) is circumferentially provided on the inner wall surface of the needle tube 43 in the treatment section, and a space gap is provided between the inner fin 434 and the outer wall of the center tube of the treatment section as a first return passage 436.

Wherein, the inflow joint 41 and the return joint 45 are both arranged on the handle 42; the inflow connector 41 may be connected by one or more of a screw thread, a quick-connect connector, a direct-connect connector and a gas connector.
Further, the diversion portion 46 includes an annular diversion tube sleeved outside the central tube 431, and an inner wall of the annular diversion tube has a step-shaped structure, so that an inner tube aperture near one end of the needle tip 44 is L1, and is used for connecting with a tail end of the outer sleeve 437; the aperture of the inner tube of the end of the annular shunt tube far away from the needle tip 44 is L2, which is used for connecting a central tube 431 with the handle side extending out of the tail end of the outer sleeve 437, wherein L1 is more than L2, the side surface of the annular shunt tube near the backflow joint 45 is provided with a through hole, and the backflow joint 45 is vertically connected at the through hole.

The arrangement mode is that the radiation screens and the spacers are alternately arranged at intervals, namely one spacer layer and one radiation screen layer.
As another embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer 433 may be a vacuum layer.
By the insulating layer 433, the temperature of the steam is prevented from decreasing during the course of the delivery to the tumor site (the treatment section of the needle tube 43), thereby affecting the treatment effect.
In addition, an inner fin 434 is circumferentially provided on the inner wall surface of the needle tube 43 located in the treatment section, and a space gap is provided between the inner fin 434 and the outer wall of the central tube of the treatment section as a first return passage 436; the essence here is the position closest to the tumor part, and the heat insulation layer 433 is not arranged at the position, but the inner fin 434 is arranged at the position, because the high-efficiency heat exchange performance of the inner fin tube is adopted for the treatment area, and the high-efficiency heat exchange between the high-temperature steam and the tumor tissue can be realized, so that the high-temperature steam can effectively act on the tumor tissue position, and the thermal ablation is realized. After the liquid condensed in the vapor outlet chamber 435 passes through the first return passage 436, the second return passage 432, the split portion 46, and the return joint 45 in this order, it is connected to the working fluid recovery device 5 for recovery of the return liquid.

Further, a needle tip 44 is arranged outside the outlet end of the central tube 431 and is used for penetrating into the tumor; the angle of the needle tip 44 is 1 deg. to 180 deg.. The needle tip 44 is in the shape of a cone, a triangular tip, a quadrangular tip, or a polygonal tip. The needle tip 44 adopts one or more of carbon fiber, metal wire mesh, fins and liquid metal to enhance heat exchange, so as to realize thermal ablation of tumor tissues.
Further, a return pipe is arranged at the outlet of the return joint 45, and the return pipe is in the shape of a straight pipe, a corrugated pipe or a combination of the two. The reflux pipe is made of rubber, plastic, metal or carbon fiber.
The center tube 431 in the needle tube 43 penetrates the needle tube 43 and the handle 42 region to serve as a steam inflow passage. The inlet end of the steam inflow channel (a central pipe 431) is communicated with the steam generating device 2 through the inflow joint 41, and the steam is conveyed to the central pipe 431 through the steam generating device 2; the outlet end of the central tube 431 is communicated with the steam outlet chamber 435, and the steam output from the central tube 431 is condensed into liquid in the steam outlet chamber 435; then, the liquid flows through the first return channel 436 and then flows through the second return channel 432 to the end of the outer sleeve 437 (the return liquid inlet of the flow dividing part 46), and enters the inner space of the throttle pipe, and flows through the return liquid outlet of the flow dividing part 46 to the return joint 45 under the action of gravity along the space gap formed between the outer side wall of the center pipe 431 and the inner side wall of the throttle pipe.
