Abstract

A cautery puncture needle includes a pipe portion. The pipe portion has a first bent portion located on a distal end side of the pipe portion and a second bent portion located on a proximal end side of the pipe portion. A curvature radius of an arc of the first bent portion is equal to or larger than a curvature radius of an arc of the second bent portion and a length of the arc of the first bent portion is longer than a length of the arc of the second bent portion, or the length of the arc of the first bent portion is equal to or longer than the length of the arc of the second bent portion and the curvature radius of the arc of the first bent portion is larger than the curvature radius of the arc of the second bent portion.

Claims (55)

1 . A cautery puncture needle comprising:

a pipe portion; and

a distal end electrode portion provided at a distal end of the pipe portion and configured to allow a high-frequency current to flow, wherein:

the pipe portion has a first bent portion and a second bent portion,

the first bent portion is located on a distal end side of the pipe portion,

the second bent portion is located on a proximal end side of the pipe portion, and

the first bent portion and the second bent portion are configured such that a curvature radius of an arc of the first bent portion is equal to or larger than a curvature radius of an arc of the second bent portion and a length of the arc of the first bent portion is longer than a length of the arc of the second bent portion, or

the first bent portion and the second bent portion are configured such that the length of the arc of the first bent portion is equal to or longer than the length of the arc of the second bent portion and the curvature radius of the arc of the first bent portion is larger than the curvature radius of the arc of the second bent portion,

the pipe portion includes a first pipe and a second pipe,

the distal end electrode portion is provided on a distal end side of the first pipe,

the first pipe has a proximal end side inserted into the second pipe,

the first bent portion is located in a region of two layers including the first pipe and the second pipe, and

the second bent portion is located in a region of a single layer that is the second pipe.

2 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a covering portion covering an outer side surface of the first pipe, wherein:

an entire region of the outer side surface of the first pipe covered with the covering portion is subjected to a satin-finished surface treatment.

3 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein;

the distal end electrode portion has an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the first pipe and smaller than an outer diameter of a region of the covering portion that covers the first pipe.

4 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 3 , wherein;

the pipe portion has a linear portion between the first bent portion and the second bent portion, and

the linear portion is located in the region of two layers including the first pipe and the second pipe.

5 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 4 , wherein;

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

6 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 3 , wherein;

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

7 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 3 , wherein:

a distal end of the distal end electrode portion for insertion has a semi-elliptical spherical shape.

8 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 3 , wherein:

the distal end electrode portion is provided with a tube portion communicating with the first pipe, and the tube portion is formed with a hole.

9 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein:

the pipe portion has a linear portion between the first bent portion and the second bent portion, and

the linear portion is located in the region of two layers including the first pipe and the second pipe.

10 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 9 , wherein:

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

11 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein:

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

12 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein:

a distal end of the distal end electrode portion for insertion has a semi-elliptical spherical shape.

13 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein:

the distal end electrode portion is provided with a tube portion communicating with the first pipe, and the tube portion is formed with a hole.

14 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 2 , wherein:

the first bent portion and the second bent portion are bent in a same direction.

15 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the pipe portion has a linear portion between the first bent portion and the second bent portion, and

the linear portion is located in the region of two layers including the first pipe and the second pipe.

16 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 15 , wherein;

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

17 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first pipe and the second pipe are joined by adhesion on the distal end side of the pipe portion and spot welding on the proximal end side of the pipe portion.

18 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , wherein:

a distal end of the distal end electrode portion for insertion has a semi-elliptical spherical shape.

19 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the distal end electrode portion is provided with a tube portion communicating with the first pipe, and the tube portion is formed with a hole.

20 . The cautery puncture needle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first bent portion and the second bent portion are bent in a same direction.
