Summary of the invention
According to an aspect of the present invention, induction heating is used to by making releasing medical sharp instrument using higher-order of oscillation magnetic field
It is separated with its holder, eddy current and resistance heating are evoked in the higher-order of oscillation magnetic field in the sharp instrument.Induction heating
Use be advantageous it is and described because it does not need directly contacting between circuit and sharp instrument or the holder of sharp instrument
Heating also can act to sterilize to the sharp instrument and therefore make sharp instrument simultaneously separating the sharp instrument with its holder
Risk it is smaller.
The separation of sharp instrument and the holder of the sharp instrument, such as whole or portion by making sharp instrument can be realized in many ways
Divide fusing, by being locally heated sharp instrument so that it can more easily be cut off or be broken, by using heated sharp instrument
Come make for sharp instrument to be attached to the sharp instrument holder adhesive softening or fusing, or made by using heated sharp instrument
The plastic material of the adjoining of holder itself softens or fusing.These methods can individually or with it is in combination with one another, and
It can be also applied in combination with mechanical separation method.
A challenge for separating releasing medical sharp instrument with its holder is, it is difficult to will be enough
Radio frequency (RF) energy concentrates in small metallic object (such as pin intubation), needed for the generation in the considerably short period
Softening or fusion temperature.Long conduction time is worthless, not only due to they are inconvenient for user, and
And because they may cause the overheat of induction coil.
Another challenge is, certain form of sharp although induction heating can most effectively be run at short distance
Device holder (such as needle needle stand) is physically biggish relative to metal sharp instrument itself, and physically prevents induction
Coil is oriented to sufficiently close in sharp instrument, for carrying out effective energy transmission.
Frequency of oscillation and/or amplitude can be made to increase, at a given time period by more transmission of radio-frequency energy to gold
Belong to sharp instrument, but the use of high frequency and/or oscillation may cause undesirable radio-frequency radiation and in certain situations
Under it may also be desirable to regulatory approval.
According to aspects of the present invention, these challenges are coped in many ways.In an aspect, using the sense of special shape
Coil is answered maximize the efficiency to the transmission of radio-frequency energy of metal sharp instrument.The coil is with by with different diameters
Stairstepping shape defined by two parts being axially spaced from, and metal pen pin intubation is concentrated on to by RF energy

Another aspect of the present invention is in the industrial frequency band, scientific frequency band and medicine (ISM) frequency band of exempting from license
The use of frequency of oscillation, the frequency of oscillation allow effective energy transmission without introducing control requirement or needle being required to remove
The design of device prevents all undesirable radio-frequency radiations at these frequencies.
An additional aspect of the present invention is using radio frequency " kelvin effect ", be alternating current (AC) (in this example by
Eddy current caused by induction coil) concentrate on trend near the surface of conductor (electric current flows wherein).This effect exists
Become more significant under higher frequency.
It is protected since the medical sharp device of many types is designed to make their outer surface to be mounted or be bound to plastics
In gripping member, kelvin effect by RF energy be effectively channeled to metal sharp instrument, need to heat so as to by sharp instrument from its guarantor
The specific part (also that is, metal/plastic interface) of gripping member release is advantageous.
