Description

Optical fiber probe for laser therapy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical treatment, in particular to a physiotherapy device for treating tumors by an invasive laser or optical irradiation device.
Background
A Laser Therapy Fiber Optic Probe (LTFOP) is an essential part of a laser therapy device to deliver a laser beam to a tumor. LTFOP is designed for its purpose: for non-invasive and/or invasive tumor irradiation. The shape of the LTFOP is selected based on the location of the tumor, the method of treatment, the light wave and intensity of the illuminating stream, the time of illumination, the use of supplemental photopharmaceuticals, and other parameters. In the case of invasive treatment, the LTFOP is inserted into the tumor via a catheter, cannula, or needle. The laser emits radiation through the LTFOP inserted into the tumor, destroying the tumor cells.
Different non-surgical non-invasive tumor treatment devices based on electrical, high frequency electromagnetic, ultrasound, infrared, UV-radiation, X-ray or radiation beam for destroying tumors are known, but the use of such treatments is limited due to low or excessive positive effects, such as irradiation.
Photosensitizers are introduced into the patient's circulatory system or directly into the tumor prior to laser irradiation, accumulate in the tumor formations, and help to more easily detect cells affected by cancer. The gradual dose irradiation by the laser beam does not damage healthy tissue but selectively destroys the tumor. When tumors are irradiated by LTFOP, the oxygen in the cells is converted from neutral to an activated state that acts cytotoxic on the tumor cells.
"magnetic laser therapy devices (LT 4113; A61N 2/00; A61N 5/06)" are known, including LTFOP lasers with interconvertible tips of different laser dose irradiation. The disadvantage of this device is that the tip is oversized and is not suitable for invasive tumour therapy.
A "fiber optic probe diffuser tip" (US 5269777; A61N5/06) "is known for use in laser treatment devices for irradiating invasive tumors. The diffuser tip has a silicone portion with desired light diffusing properties that is attached to the end of the optical fiber; a fiber optic housing and a silicone diffuser tip to ensure the desired rigidity and flexibility. The tip is cylindrical in shape and has a uniform distribution of radiation along its length. The drawback of the LTFOP probe and its tip is that its outer diameter is too large, requiring a catheter with a large inner and outer diameter to be introduced into the tumor being treated.
The closest known solution to the patentable invention is the "photodynamic therapy light diffuser" (US 6366719; A61B 18/22; A61N5/06), which emits light through a cylindrical surface. A diffuser formed by an optical fiber, or light emitting tip, delivers light radiation from the light emitting device to the irradiation site or body. The optical fibers are covered by a protective jacket within the cable. The ends of the optical fibers in the radiation diffuser are polished so that the light propagates uniformly through the polished section, creating a cylindrical flow of diffused light around, for example, a "bullet" diffuser. A disadvantage of this LTFOP and its tip (diffuser) is that the method of making the light diffuser is described, but the size and possibility of its introduction into the body and treatment is unclear.
Disclosure of Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fiber optic probe (LTFOP) for diffuse invasive laser treatment with the best dimensions, i.e. with the thinnest possible outer diameter.
The patentable LTFOP comprises a fiber optic cable 1 with an optical fiber 2 inside, a polymer coating on the outside 3; a connection plug 4 at the proximal end of the cable and a laser emission tip (diffuser) 5 at the end of the cable, the laser diffuser tip (diffuser) 5 being formed by a housing 6 made of quartz glass or a light-conducting polymer, the housing 6 having light-diffusing structural irregularities (roughness) 7 on the inside and/or on the surface, and/or the housing 6 having or not having a protective coating 8 on the surface. The tip (diffuser) 5 is cylindrical, has a length of between 0.2 and 10cm, preferably between 0.5 and 3cm, and a diameter of between 0.02 and 0.2cm, and diffuses the laser light over its entire surface, i.e. its length and circumference at an angle of 360 °. When the wavelength of light lambda is 670-; when the wavelength of light λ is 790-830nm, the penetration of light from the tip (diffuser) surface in biological tissue can reach 5 cm.
When the light emitting tip (diffuser) 5 of the patentable LTFOP is 2-5cm long, the fiber 2 is made of a polymeric fiber, the light scattering angle is 360 °, the flux efficiency is at least 80%, and the tip (diffuser) 5 diameter is 0.05 cm; the length of the probe from the connection plug 4 to the light emission tip 5 is 30+15cm, the laser beam power is 400mW, and then the penetration of light in the biological tissue from the tip (diffuser) surface reaches 2cm when the light wavelength λ is 670-; when the wavelength of light λ is 790 and 830nm, the penetration of light from the tip (diffuser) surface in biological tissue reaches 5 cm.
When the patentable LTFOP has a light emission tip (diffuser) 5 that is 0.5-3cm long, the fiber 2 is made of silica glass, the light scattering angle is 360 °, the flux efficiency is at least 80%, and the tip (diffuser) 5 has a diameter of 0.1+0.02 cm; the probe has a length of 25+10cm from the connection plug 4 to the light emitting tip 5, a laser beam power of 1600mW, and then a penetration of light in the biological tissue from the tip (diffuser) surface of 2cm when the wavelength of light λ is 670-; when the wavelength of light λ is 790 and 830nm, the penetration of light from the tip (diffuser) surface in biological tissue reaches 5 cm.
The maximum power of the patentable LTFOP laser beam with fiber 2 and polymer tip (diffuser) 5 can be up to 500 mW; or the maximum power of the laser beam with the silica optical fiber 2 and the silica tip (diffuser) 5 can be 2000 mW.
The patentable LTFOP is sterile and suitable for use for 2 years from its date of manufacture.
Drawings
The invention is illustrated in FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of an LTFOP.
LTFOP includes:
an optical fiber cable 1;
an optical fiber 2;
a polymer coating 3;
a connection plug 4;
a light emission tip (diffuser) 5;
a tip housing 6 of light conductive material;
light scattering structural irregularities (roughness) 7;
a polymeric protective coating 8.
LTFOP was introduced and its operation was as follows:
the patient is administered the photosensitizer intravenously;
2-4 hours after injection of the photosensitizer, the tumor is measured by ultrasound to identify its actual location, i.e. the area and depth relative to the surface;
after marking the location of the tumor, local anesthesia is applied to the area where the catheter is to be inserted;
a catheter or plastic cannula with about 1.2 outer diameters of the inner diameter of the LTFOP is inserted into the tumor;
the LTFOP tip (diffuser) is inserted into the tumor through a catheter or cannula so that the light emitting tip (diffuser) 5 is as close to the tumor as possible or in a near-central position of the tumor;
the other end of the LTFOP is connected to a device via a connection plug 4, whereby laser beams having different wavelengths are generated;
determining the irradiation wavelength, the intensity (power) unit mW and the irradiation time unit minute, and turning on the laser;
the laser beam enters the laser diffusion tip (diffuser) 5 through the optical fiber 2 in the cable 1, where it is diffused at an angle of 360 ° throughout the entire length of the tip (diffuser) through irregularities and roughness 7 in the housing 6. At the end of the predetermined irradiation period, the irradiation process is terminated.
More than one catheter/cannula with inserted LTFOP may be used, as determined by the physician at the discretion. The power of the patentable LTFOP laser beam with polymer fiber 2 and polymer tip (diffuser) would not exceed 500 mW; and the maximum power of the laser beam having the quartz optical fiber 2 and the quartz tip (diffuser) does not exceed 2000 mW.
The irradiation process time was 20. + -.10 minutes.
Depending on the time of decomposition of the photosensitizer selected and the duration of tumor treatment, the process can be repeated for successive days, as determined by the physician at the discretion.
At the end of the process, LTFOP is removed and used according to established procedures.
By using patentable LTFOP, more effective, more uniform and larger area treatment of tumor exposure sites is achieved. A smaller amount of LTFOP can be used to irradiate the entire tumor area.
LTFOP can be used for the treatment of tumors in the lung, liver, thorax, and for non-invasive treatment of the nose, throat, ear, and genitals. Treatment was considered successful when the tumor size decreased after the irradiation period.
The laser wavelength described with reference to the patentable LTFOP may be different, however this does not change the essence of the invention.
With the patentable small LTFOP, the catheter puncture site heals more quickly, and multiple LTFOPs can be used simultaneously, thereby reducing the number and time of invasive treatments. Patentable LTFOP can be tested in patient treatment and positive results are obtained.
