Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic-navigation joint type puncture needle which comprises a head section and needle sections, wherein, the head section is made of stainless steel material with high magnetic conductivity and is connected with the following needle sections coaxially mounted with the head section through a flexible joint; two needle sections are also coaxially connected with each other through a flexible joint; the needle sections are made of non-magnetic stainless steel material; the flexible joints adopts serpentine tubes formed by melting and engraving cobalt-chromium alloy through laser; and both the head section and the needle sections can be bent, but the flexibility of the head section and that of the needle sections are smaller than the flexibility of the flexible joints. According to the invention, an extra magnetic field force is used to cause the head section of the needle to deflect, so that the following purposes can be achieved that the insertion direction of the needle can be changed, and the other needle sections also deflect with the deflection of the head section; accurate navigation for and control over puncture path and puncture position when the p…
