The present invention relates to a high frequency electrotherapy device.

It is one of the treatment methods of intervertebral disc herniation and nucleonucleus prolapse, which act as a cause of lumbar pain. The method to use is used.

For this procedure, a high frequency electrotherapy device is used to locally remove the body tissue at the site of the procedure.

An example of such a high frequency electrotherapy device is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 1139940 (Registration Date: April 18, 2012). Referring to FIG. 1, the configuration of the high frequency electrotherapy device will be briefly described. As it corresponds to FIG. 4 of the Korean Patent Registration, it is used as it is without modifying the reference number for convenience of description.

The high frequency electrotherapy unit is connected to the first electrode unit 110 and the first electrode unit 110 including the cap 111, the connecting body 112, the cylindrical body 113, and the first electrode line 114. An insulator 120 surrounding the sieve 112 and the cylindrical body 113, and a ring 131 and a second electrode line 132 connected to the insulator 120 to surround the cylindrical body 113. It includes a two electrode unit 130.

The high frequency electrotherapy machine inserts into the body tissue so that the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 130 are of different polarities, that is, the anode or the cathode, so that the body tissue acts as a resistance to generate heat. Through this, the incision, coagulation, hemostasis, etc. will work.

However, the high frequency electrotherapy device has a cap 111 serving as a first electrode and a ring 131 serving as a second electrode separated from each other by a predetermined distance with the insulating part 120 interposed therebetween. Therefore, in order to heat the body tissue, not only the cap 111 but also the ring 131 must be inserted into the body tissue. Therefore, the insertion site of the treatment device inserted into the body tissue is relatively large, and the treatment site is localized in detail. There is a limit to the application, and in addition to the treatment site there was a problem that unnecessarily adversely affect the surrounding tissue.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, by minimizing the insertion site of the treatment device to be inserted into the body tissue, it is possible to treat the body tissue locally in detail, and also to minimize the effect on the surrounding tissue outside the treatment site. An object of the present invention is to provide a high frequency electrotherapy device.

In order to achieve the above object, the high-frequency electrotherapy apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, a handle body having a first through hole and one end is inserted into the first through hole of the handle body, The other end protrudes from the first through hole of the handle body, a pipe having a second through hole, one end is inserted into the second through hole of the pipe, and the other end is from the second through hole of the pipe. A tube having two through holes which protrude and are separated from each other, and two conductive wires having one end respectively inserted into the two through holes of the tube and the other end protruding from the two through holes of the tube. And the other ends of the two conductive wires protrude to the same length from each other through the two through holes of the tube.

In addition, the handle body has a cavity portion connected to the first through hole.

A cap is also provided which seals the cavity of the handle body and has two through holes.

In addition, a conductive connector is inserted into the two through holes of the cap, respectively, and the two conductive connectors are respectively connected directly or indirectly to the two wires.

In addition, the two connectors and the two wires are each connected through a conductive connecting member.

In addition, the distal ends of the other ends of the two conductive wires are formed in a circular shape.

In the method of manufacturing the high frequency electrotherapy device, preparing the two conductive wires, the tube, the two conductive connectors, the handle body, the cap, the conductive pipe, heating the other end of the two wires Forming a circular shape by inserting the two wires into the tube so that the other ends of the two ends of the two wires protrude to the same length and then adhesively fixing the two wires to the tube, the two wires Inserting and fixing the attached tube to the conductive pipe, adhesive fixing the two conductive connectors to the cap, and inserting the conductive pipe to which the tube is attached to the handle body to connect the cap. Fixing.

The method further includes grinding the ends of the two wires formed in a circular shape such that the ends of the two wires do not contact each other.

Unlike the prior art, the high-frequency electrotherapy apparatus having the configuration as described above is arranged in a line with the distal ends of the two wires protruding at the same length from each other, so that the body can be inserted deeply into the body treatment site in order to allow electricity to flow through the body. There is no need to minimize the site of action. Therefore, the insertion site of the treatment device can be made relatively small, so that the conventional problem that can be applied to the treatment site locally in detail and unnecessarily adversely affects the surrounding tissue can be improved.

In addition, the distal end of the other end of the conductive wire of the high-frequency electrotherapy device of the present invention is formed in a circular shape to prevent damage to tissues such as nerves in contact with the human body.

Hereinafter, the configuration of a high frequency electrotherapy device (hereinafter, referred to as 'the present abacus electrotherapy device') according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the present high frequency electrotherapy device is largely handle body 1, pipe 2, tube 3,

conductive wire

41, 42. ).

As shown in FIG. 7, the handle body 1 includes a first through hole 11 that penetrates in the longitudinal direction (lateral reference direction). In addition, the handle body 1 has a cavity 12 which is connected to and communicates with the first through hole 11. Here, one end of the handle body 1 is connected to the outside through the first through hole 11, and the other end thereof is connected to the outside through the cavity 12.

4 and 8, one end of the pipe 2 is inserted into the first through hole 11 of the handle body 1, and the other end thereof is the first through hole 11 of the handle body 1. Protrudes by a predetermined length. The pipe 2 also has a second through hole 21 penetrated in the longitudinal direction thereof.

4 and 10, one end of the tube 3 is inserted into the second through hole 21 of the pipe 2, and the other end of the tube 3 is from the second through hole 21 of the pipe 2. It protrudes by a predetermined length. In addition, the tubes 3 are separated from each other and are provided with two through

holes

31 and 32 formed in the longitudinal direction thereof.

Meanwhile, the pipe 2 may be made of metal such as stainless steel, and the tube 3 may be made of a polymer material such as PEBAX (Poly Ether Block Amides), which is softer than the material of the pipe 2. have. The reason is that the end portion of the tube 3 is bent better when inserted into a plurality of through holes formed inside the catheter (not shown) and bent in one direction by the operation of the catheter. In addition, since the

conductive wires

41 and 42 have polarities of either (+) or (-), respectively, in use, it is important to stably insulate each other. To this end, unlike the material of the pipe (2) is to configure the tube (3) using an insulating soft material.

As shown in FIG. 4, the

conductive wires

41 and 42 have one end inserted into the two through

holes

31 and 32 of the tube 3, respectively, and the other end of the two through holes of the tube 3. 31,32). Here, the other ends of the

conductive wires

41 and 42 protrude from the two through holes of the tube 3 with the same length l from each other. In addition, it is preferable that the distal end portions of the other ends of the

conductive wires

41 and 42 are formed in a circular shape so as not to damage nerves or tissues when contacting the human body or the like. Meanwhile, a metal such as stainless steel may be used as the conductive material applied to the

wires

41 and 42.

The high frequency electrotherapy device may further include a cap 5, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, wherein the cap 5 is connected to the cavity 12 side of the handle body 1. The cavity 12 is closed and provided with two through

holes

51 and 52 into which

conductive connectors

61 and 62 described later are inserted, respectively.

conductive connectors

61 and 62 are inserted through the through

holes

51 and 52 of the cap 5, respectively, and are electrically connected directly or indirectly to the

wires

41 and 42. 4 shows an example of indirectly connected through the conductive connection member (7). As the conductive material applied to the

connectors

61 and 62, a metal such as brass may be used.

The high frequency electrotherapy device seeing such a configuration can be manufactured by the following method.

First, two

conductive wires

41 and 42, a tube 3, two

conductive connectors

61 and 62, a handle body 1, a cap 5, and a conductive pipe 2 are prepared.

Next, the distal ends of the other ends of the two

wires

41 and 42 are heated to form a circle.

Next, two

wires

41 and 42 are inserted into the tube 3 so that the other end portions of the two

wires

41 and 42 protrude from the tube 3 with the same length to each other, and then into the tube 3. Two

wires

41 and 42 are adhesively fixed. At this time, it is preferable to further include a step of grinding between the ends of the two wires (41, 42) formed in a circular shape so as not to contact each other.

Next, the tube 3 to which two

wires

41 and 42 are bonded is inserted into the conductive pipe 2 to fix the adhesive.

Next, two

conductive connectors

61 and 62 are adhesively fixed to the cap 5.

Next, the conductive pipe 2 to which the tube 3 is attached is inserted into the handle body 1 and fixedly connected to the cap 5.

The method of using the present high frequency electrotherapy device is as follows.

First, the high-frequency equipment (not shown) is connected to the

connectors

61 and 62 of the high-frequency electrotherapy device.

Next, after driving the high frequency equipment, the distal ends of the two

wires

41 and 42 contact the surgical site of the body. At this time, as the electricity from the distal end is transferred to the body tissue and the body tissue acts as a resistance, heat of a predetermined temperature is generated, and by using the same, an incision, coagulation, and hemostasis can be performed. For reference, the hemostatic action of body tissues typically occurs around 60-65 degrees, and the incision effect appears only above 100 degrees.

By the way, as shown in Figure 11, unlike the conventional high-frequency electrotherapy device, the distal ends of the two wires (41, 42) are projected with the same length and arranged in a line, in order to make the body to conduct electricity There's no need to dig deep into the body area, minimizing the area of action. That is, the conventional electrotherapy device, as shown in Figure 1, so that not only the cap 111 but also the ring 131 to be inserted into the body tissue in order to generate heat, the body of the treatment device inserted into the body tissue There is a problem that the insertion site is relatively large and there is a limit in applying it to the treatment site locally, and in addition to the treatment site, there is a problem that it unnecessarily affects the surrounding tissues. It can be made small, and can be applied to the treatment area locally in detail, and the problem of unnecessarily adversely affecting surrounding tissue can be improved.

In addition, the present radiofrequency electrotherapy device may be used with a catheter (not shown), for example, a catheter is first inserted into a site, and then an endoscope is inserted into one of a plurality of through holes formed in the catheter. After confirming the site, the tube of the high frequency electrotherapy device is inserted into the through hole of the catheter, and then positioned at the site of the procedure.
