A current common solution to the problem of tissue adhesion is to add a conductive non-stick coating, such as a teflon (PTFE) coating, to the electrode surface of the electrosurgical instrument, but PTFE coatings have been demonstrated to gradually ablate and break down by the arc during use of the electrosurgical knife, losing anti-stick properties. Patent CN 113180819A discloses an electrode for electrosurgical instrument without adhesion, wherein a growth process is adopted to coat a thin film material coating with anti-adhesion, high conductivity and wear resistance on the end bit of the surface of a metal electrode of the electrosurgical instrument to realize the effect without adhesion, and the thin film material coating is one of graphene, carbon nano tube, carbon fiber, fiber-metal nano particle composite material and fiber-alloy nano particle composite material.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a process in which chemical gases or vapors react on the surface of a substrate to synthesize a coating or nanomaterial, and is the most widely used technique in the semiconductor industry for depositing a variety of materials. A great deal of research results prove that the CVD method is one of the best means for growing high-quality graphene films, but when the CVD method is used for depositing the coating, particularly in industrial mass production, many technical problems still exist, such as the thickness, uniformity and other characteristics of the coating are difficult to control stably.

The carbon-containing coating provided by the invention can effectively reduce the electrode resistance, thereby reducing the heat accumulation in the use process of the electrode and reducing the adhesion of tissues on the electrode, and meanwhile, the carbon-containing coating provided by the invention has strong hydrophobicity, so that the liquids such as blood, tissue fluid and the like are difficult to stay on the surface of the electrode, the adhesion of tissues in the tissue cutting process is greatly reduced, and the phenomenon that the residual tissues on the surface of the electrode are continuously heated to form eschar is avoided.
The invention further provides a preparation method of the electrode for the electrosurgical instrument, which comprises the following steps:
placing a stainless steel electrode body and a catalyst in a quartz frame, placing the quartz frame in a heating zone of chemical vapor deposition equipment, and introducing inert gas into the chemical vapor deposition equipment to empty gas in the equipment; the catalyst is selected from one or more of Fe, co and Ni powder;
step two, heating chemical vapor deposition equipment to 700-1300 ℃;
and thirdly, intermittently introducing reaction gas into the chemical vapor deposition equipment to carry out fractional deposition of the carbon-containing coating, wherein the reaction gas comprises hydrogen and carbon source gas, and the carbon source gas is one or more of hydrocarbon gases.
The preparation method comprises the steps of adopting a chemical vapor deposition method, taking a stainless steel electrode body as a growth substrate, taking one or more of Fe, co and Ni powder as a catalyst, intermittently introducing reaction gas into chemical vapor deposition equipment at the growth temperature of 700-1300 ℃, carrying out fractional deposition on the growth substrate to obtain the carbon-containing coating, and cooling the stainless steel electrode body to room temperature after the deposition is finished to obtain the electrode for the electrosurgical instrument; the reaction gas includes hydrogen and a carbon source gas selected from one or more of hydrocarbon gases. Fe. The transition metals such as Co, ni and the like have higher carbon dissolving capacity, certain carbide can be formed, carbon atoms have high diffusion rate in the transition metals, and the transition metals are used as catalysts to help decompose carbon source gases.
Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the specific operation of the third step is: introducing hydrogen and carbon source gas into the chemical vapor deposition equipment for the first time, stopping introducing the hydrogen and the carbon source gas after 2-5min, standing for 2-4min, introducing the hydrogen and the carbon source gas into the chemical vapor deposition equipment for the second time, stopping introducing the hydrogen and the carbon source gas after 2-6min, standing for 2-4min, introducing the hydrogen and the carbon source gas into the chemical vapor deposition equipment for the third time, and stopping introducing the gas in the furnace and heating the furnace tube after 4-6 min; the volume flow ratio of the hydrogen to the carbon source gas in each vapor deposition is 1: (0.4-2.0); the ventilation of the hydrogen and the carbon source gas is third time > second time > first time.
The chemical vapor deposition equipment is selected from any one of a CVD tube furnace, a microwave plasma CVD equipment and a magnetron sputtering CVD equipment.
At present, most of electrode base materials of high-frequency electrotomes are stainless steel materials, when a carbon material coating is prepared on a stainless steel substrate by using a traditional CVD method, the conditions of completely inconsistent growth thickness and uniformity of the coating in the same reaction furnace can occur, and amorphous carbon is easily generated by gas phase reaction of a carbon source above a substrate in the reaction furnace, so that the pollution of amorphous carbon is often easily seen in the grown coating, the yield and the yield of the electrode of the carbon-containing coating prepared by the traditional CVD method are low, and the cost is high. In the technical scheme, the method for depositing the coating in batches is adopted, so that the full cracking of the carbon source gas is ensured, and the effect of controlling the uniform growth of the coating is achieved. More preferably, in the fractional deposition of the coating, a method of gradually increasing the ventilation rate is adopted, and the amount of hydrogen and carbon source gas introduced in each deposition increases with the increase of the deposition times, so that the coating grows in a process from sparse to dense, and the uniformity of the deposited coating is easier to control.
Further, in the fractional deposition of the coating, the growth time and ventilation of each deposited coating need to be controlled, because ventilation is set low, the growth time of the coating can be longer, insufficient growth or overgrowth is easy, and uniformity is difficult to control; if the ventilation is set high, the carbon source gas is easily cracked insufficiently to form more amorphous carbon, and the uniformity of the coating is difficult to control. Specifically, in the third step, hydrogen and carbon source gas are introduced at 300-700sccm for the first time, hydrogen and carbon source gas are stopped at 300-600sccm after 2-5min, hydrogen and carbon source gas are introduced at 600-1000sccm for the second time after 2-4min, hydrogen and carbon source gas are stopped at 700-1200sccm after 2-6min, hydrogen and carbon source gas are introduced at 1000-1800sccm for the third time after 2-4min, and furnace gas is stopped at 4-6 min.
Meanwhile, the preparation method of the invention takes the stainless steel electrode body as a growth matrix, and the electrode body material of the electrosurgical instrument is stainless steel, which contains alloy elements such as iron, carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, nickel, molybdenum and the like, and the stainless steel electrode can be used as a growth substrate of a carbon-containing coating and also has a catalytic effect on hydrocarbon gas pyrolysis deposition. The carbon obtained by pyrolysis of hydrocarbon gas permeates into the stainless steel matrix, so that the carbon-containing coating obtained by deposition comprises the following elements in percentage by mass: 10 to 15 weight percent of C,35 to 53 wt percent of Fe,30 to 45 wt percent of Cr,1 to 4wt percent of Mn and 1 to 4.5 wt percent of Ni. Experiments prove that the carbon-containing coating containing the elements with the composition content has excellent conductivity and strong hydrophobicity.
In the CVD deposition process of the carbon-containing coating, hydrogen is not only reducing gas, but also carrier gas and auxiliary gas, and the volume flow ratio of the hydrogen to the carbon source gas is controlled within 1: (0.4-2.0), so that smooth carbon production by cracking and dehydrogenation of the carbon source gas is ensured, and wrinkles generated by deposition of the coating can be reduced, deposition of amorphous carbon is reduced, the flatness of the coating is improved, and the quality of the electrode coating is improved.
The decomposition temperature of the carbon source gas determines the growth temperature of the coating, and the carbon source gas is selected from methane, acetylene and ethylene, so that the full growth of the coating at the growth temperature of 700-1300 ℃ is ensured. The carbon source gas can be one or more of hydrocarbon gases, such as methane, which can be used as carbon source gas alone or with acetylene at a mass ratio of 1:0.5-1.

Ra(nm) 146.385 153.466 148.943 152.697 140-150
As can be seen from Table 2, the thickness of the coating on the electrode prepared in examples 1 to 4 was between 400 and 700nm, and the roughness was not much different from that of the stainless steel electrode of the high frequency electric knife. Since the thickness of 10 layers of graphene is 3.4nm, and the thickness of the coating deposited in examples 1 to 4 of the present application is 400 to 700nm, it can be determined that the coating materials deposited in examples 1 to 4 of the present application are not graphene.

As can be seen from Table 4, the electrodes prepared in examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-2 have significantly lower resistivity than the uncoated stainless steel electrode, and the electrodes prepared in examples 1-4 have further lower resistivity than comparative examples 1-2.
5. Detection of hydrophobicity of electrode surface coating
The electrodes prepared in examples 1 to 4, the electrolysis prepared in comparative examples 1 and 2, and the water contact angle and diiodomethane contact angle of the uncoated stainless steel electrode were examined using a contact angle meter, whereby the free energy of the electrode surface was calculated using Wu's equation, and specific data are shown in table 5 below.
TABLE 5 comparative hydrophobic Property of electrode tips
Water contact angle (°) Diiodomethane contact angle (°) Surface free energy (mN/m)

Comparative example 2 65.84 49.88 48.92
Uncoated stainless steel electrode 59.56 49.91 49.14
As can be seen from table 5, the water contact angle of the electrodes prepared in examples 1 to 4 is significantly larger than that of the electrodes prepared in comparative examples 1 to 2 and the uncoated stainless steel electrode, and the free energy of the surface is lower, which proves that the coating deposited on the electrode surface in examples 1 to 4 greatly enhances the surface hydrophobicity of the stainless steel electrode, so that liquids such as blood and interstitial fluid are difficult to stay on the electrode surface.
6. Tissue cutting adhesion test
Fresh isolated pork liver is selected as an electrode cutting test material, three electrode tips of clean non-coated stainless steel electrode tips (303 stainless steel electrodes), electrode tips prepared in examples 1-4 and electrode tips prepared in comparative examples 1-2 are randomly selected, weighed by a micrometer, 120s cutting is performed by an 80W electric cutting mode which is commonly used by a clinician in operation, the cut tips are placed for 60s and then weighed for three times to obtain an average value, and the average tissue adhesion amount of each tip is calculated after repeating three groups of tests, as shown in the following table 6.

Uncoated tool bit Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative example 1 Comparative example 2
Tissue adhesion quality (mg) 5.1 0.9 1.0 1.2 0.8 4.3 4.8
As can be seen from Table 6 above, the electrode tips of examples 1-4 reduced adhesion quality by 81% compared to the conventional uncoated tips, and had good release properties. Compared with the common uncoated cutter heads, the electrode cutter heads in the comparative examples 1-2 have the advantages that the tissue adhesion amount on the cutter heads is reduced slightly and the change is not obvious.
Fig. 4 shows the adhesion of the uncoated stainless steel electrode tip to the fresh pork liver cut tissue of the electrode tip of example 1, and shows that the surface tissue adhesion of the common uncoated electrode is large and tight, while the surface adhesion of the coated electrode of example 1 is small and sparse.
The medical gauze wetted by physiological saline is used for wiping the electrode, so that the uncoated electrode is difficult to clean, a large amount of eschar is remained after the electrode is forcefully wiped, and the electrode can be wiped cleanly only by using a special electric knife cleaning blade for multiple times of friction; the electrodes of comparative examples 1-2 remained a small amount of eschar after wiping, and were still difficult to clean with a hard wipe, and were wiped clean only by multiple rubs with a special electric blade; the electrodes of examples 1-4 were allowed to recover a clean state by rubbing the gauze. Therefore, the electrode provided by the invention greatly reduces tissue adhesion and eschar in the tissue cutting process, can effectively prolong the cleaning period, is convenient for cleaning, saves time, keeps the operation flow smooth, improves the concentration of doctors and greatly shortens the operation time.
