Abstract: A non-puncturing microwave ablation antenna, including an irradiator located at a front end of the antenna and an irradiator cover sleeved on the irradiator, where a front end of the irradiator cover is blunt. Because the front end of the irradiator cover is designed to be blunt, the special non-puncturing appearance of the irradiator cover enables the antenna to freely penetrate inside the lung tissue without puncturing blood vessels and bronchi in the lungs. In addition, blood vessels of tumor existing in the Ground-Glass Opacity (GGO) would not be damaged by the blunt head and bleed, thereby reducing a rate of surgery failure caused by that a lesion cannot be identified because of bleeding inside the lung, and in addition, avoiding a possibility that tumor cells spread through a puncturing passage or bleeding blood vessels.

Abstract: A circular microwave ablation antenna is provided with a chamber for accommodating the coaxial cable and the conduit, the chamber and the conduit extend forward to the front end of the antenna. An emission window of the antenna is at least partially located in the conduit to enable the cooling medium to cool the emission window area of the antenna. The conduit of the microwave emission area is made of an insulation material, so that the microwave can radiate outward, and the rest of the conduit is made of a microwave shielding material. The choke ring located at the rear side of emission area is hermetically fixed to the conduit, so that the choke ring acts to block the microwave. A gap exists between the choke ring and the needle bar, and the gap is used for the backflow of the cooling medium.
