  • Patent number: 12622725
    Abstract: A computed tomography-guided (CT-guided) percutaneous pulmonary nodule cutter includes an outer sheath puncture guide needle and a mesh-shaped electromagnetic cutting system; a hollow sleeve is disposed in the outer sheath puncture guide needle, and the mesh-shaped electromagnetic cutting system is disposed in a space between the outer sheath puncture guide needle and the hollow sleeve, a main body of the mesh-shaped electromagnetic cutting system is made of a polymer shape memory material into a tubular shape; and the tubular shape is integrally formed with two meshes at a position facing a tip end of the outer sheath puncture guide needle. By using the CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary nodule cutter, the patient's economic burden is reduced and the patient's comfort is improved and it is beneficial for promoting CT-guided percutaneous cutting biopsy of the pulmonary nodules.
