A manufacturing process for electrode of neuromodulation probe includes the steps of: preparing a plurality of the manufacturing fixtures for electrode of neuromodulation probe; preparing a plurality of the manufacturing fixtures for electrode in a surrounding manner by having the first-layer frames to be externally disposed side by side with the bevels of the two neighboring first-layer frames close to each other, so that the second-layer frames, the plurality of electrodes and the plurality of wires are enclosed thereinside; placing a cylinder amid the plurality of manufacturing fixtures for electrode to have the plurality of wires to surround the cylinder; having a fluid plastic to surround the cylinder by filling all the spaces between the plurality of wires and the plurality of electrodes, and waiting the fluid plastic to cure; removing the plurality of first-layer frames and the plurality of second-layer frames; and, pulling off the cylinder.

Manufacturing fixture and process for electrode of neuromodulation probe

A neuromodulation probe includes a body and at least one coil set. The body has a first axis and a length along the first axis. The at least one coil set includes at least one coil, and the at least one coil is formed by winding spirally a conductive wire plural times about a second axis inside the body or on an outer surface of the body. The second axis is parallel to the first axis. The at least one coil has two opposite wire ends for providing an electric current to flow in or out of the at least one coil.

Neuromodulation probe

An ablation device including a first electrode, at least one second electrode and a guiding sleeve is provided. The guiding sleeve is sleeved outside the first electrode and the second electrode, so as to fold the second electrode. The guiding sleeve is adapted to move along an axial direction of the first electrode, so as to adjust a length of the first electrode exposed by the guiding sleeve and enable the second electrode to be released and expand in a radial direction of the first electrode.

Ablation device

An adjustable respirator shell, suitable for being worn on a human body trunk, includes a body, a belt and a buffer. The body includes a protrusive portion and a contact portion. The protrusive portion has an opening connecting a fluid pressure controller, and the contact portion is to contact the human body trunk. The belt, connecting the body, is to surround the human body trunk so as to fasten the adjustable respirator shell on the human body trunk. The buffer covers a circumference of the contact portion, and the contact portion contacts the human body trunk via the buffer. In addition, the buffer includes at least one cushion.

Adjustable respirator shell

A radiofrequency ablation electrode needle includes at least one first segment and at least two second segments. The at least one first segment and the at least two second segments are exposed on a surface of the needle body. An impedance of the at least one first segment is smaller than an impedance of the at least two second segments and at least one of the at least one first segment is disposed between two immediately adjacent ones of the at least two second segments. Besides, the radiofrequency ablation electrode needle is a monopolar electrode needle.
