Development of Non-invasive Endoscope System with Magnetic Anchored Ablation Electrode for Early Cancer of Digestive Tract

Abstract

This study introduces a non-invasive gastrointestinal early cancer magnetic anchor ablation electrode endoscopy system, including a magnetic anchor module and ablation electrode module. The magnetic anchoring module is composed of an external guide magnet and an internal magnet, made of permanent magnet material NdFeB; the ablation electrode module is based on the modification of the front end lens hood of the existing endoscope (CMD-90D LED electronic upper gastrointestinal endoscope). The new endoscope system not only includes all the functions of the original endoscope, but also introduces magnetic anchoring to enable the ablation electrode to be accurately positioned and controllable in the process of treating tumors, avoiding the phenomenon of gastric perforation; the introduction of steep pulse electric field ablation electrodes realizes the purpose of non-invasive treatment. Its clinical application will become a new method to treat early cancer of the digestive tract.
