IMPROVED BIOPSY ARRANGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023943 titled 'IMPROVED BIOPSY ARRANGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a biopsy needle arrangement that includes a needle sheath and a needle. The needle is designed to lock a tip portion of the needle in relation to the sheath when the arrangement is in a closed state. The locking is achieved through specific configurations of the sheath opening edges and proximal tip edges, preventing rotation of the tip around a longitudinal axis.
- The needle arrangement includes a needle sheath and a needle.
- The needle is capable of locking the tip portion in relation to the sheath when closed.
- The locking mechanism is achieved through specific configurations of the sheath opening edges and proximal tip edges.
- The locking prevents rotational movement of the tip around a longitudinal axis.
Potential Applications:
- Biopsy procedures: The needle arrangement can be used in medical procedures to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
- Minimally invasive surgeries: The locking mechanism ensures stability and precision during procedures that require needle insertion.
Problems Solved:
- Unintended rotation: The locking mechanism prevents the tip of the needle from rotating, ensuring accurate placement and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
- Needle dislodgement: By securely locking the tip in relation to the sheath, the arrangement prevents accidental dislodgement during procedures, enhancing safety.
Benefits:
- Improved accuracy: The locking mechanism provides stability, allowing for precise control and accurate targeting during biopsy procedures.
- Enhanced safety: The secure locking of the needle tip reduces the risk of complications such as tissue damage or needle dislodgement.
- Ease of use: The needle arrangement simplifies the procedure by eliminating the need for additional tools or techniques to prevent rotation or dislodgement.
Original Abstract Submitted
a biopsy needle arrangement comprises a needle sheath and a needle configured to lock a tip portion of the needle in relation to the sheath when the needle arrangement has obtained a closed state. the locking, which is obtained by configurations of sheath opening edges and proximal tip edges, between the tip portion of the needle and the sheath is in a third direction as well as in a rotational sense in that the tip cannot rotate around a longitudinal axis defined by a first direction.
