Description

醫療用栓塞微球製程設備Medical embolization microsphere processing equipment

本發明係一種醫療用栓塞微球製程設備,尤指一種快速製成特定粒徑之醫療用栓塞微球,並可降低栓塞微球之製備成本者。 The invention relates to a medical embedding microsphere processing device, in particular to a medical embedding microsphere which is quickly made into a specific particle size, and can reduce the preparation cost of the embedding microsphere.

按,據查,每年約有五十萬人被新診斷罹患肝癌,其中,肝癌為男性之中第五常見之癌症,而於女性中係第七常見之癌症;而就我國而言,肝病被認為係我國之國病,近年來,肝癌業已躍升為我國國人十大癌症發生率第二名。 According to the survey, about 500,000 people are diagnosed with liver cancer every year. Among them, liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer among men, and the seventh most common cancer among women. For China, liver disease is It is believed that it is the country's disease in China. In recent years, the liver cancer industry has jumped to the second place among the top ten cancers in China.

就肝癌之治療方式而言,習見之治療方法包含:手術切除、酒精注射治療、電頻灼燒法、放射線治療、化學治療及經導管肝動脈栓塞術;合併上述其中至少二以上之治療方法,則可得到更好的治療效果;而約半數肝癌病人適合以化療或栓塞術治療,其優點在於,可減緩腫瘤生長速度、減少腫瘤數目及大小,進而使病人降低腫瘤分期、再獲得肝臟移植或改善肝臟移植後之痊癒能力;由於正常肝臟的血液供應,有約70%至75%係由腸道及脾臟回流的門脈供應,25%至30%則係由肝動脈供應,而肝癌細胞90%至95%的養分是來自肝動脈,故經導管肝動脈栓塞術即係透過阻斷肝動脈血流使癌細胞壞死,藉以達致肝癌治癒之效果。 In terms of the treatment of liver cancer, the treatment methods include: surgical resection, alcohol injection therapy, electric burning, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and transcatheter hepatic artery embolization; and at least two of the above treatment methods, It can get better therapeutic effect; about half of the patients with liver cancer are suitable for chemotherapy or embolization. The advantage is that it can slow down the tumor growth rate, reduce the number and size of tumors, and then reduce the tumor stage, and then get the liver transplant or Improves the healing ability after liver transplantation; due to the blood supply to normal liver, about 70% to 75% are supplied by the portal vein of the intestine and spleen, and 25% to 30% are supplied by the hepatic artery, while the liver cancer cell 90 From 0.01 to 95% of the nutrients are from the hepatic artery, transcatheter hepatic artery embolization is to block the hepatic artery blood flow to make the cancer cells necrotic, so as to achieve the effect of liver cancer healing.

惟此,常用治療肝癌之栓塞物,諸如:明膠(Gelfoam)、無藥物釋放之栓塞球(Embosphere)、藥物釋放栓塞球(Drug-eluting beads-DC beads)及攜帶放射線同位素Yttrium-90栓塞球;就明膠而言,其價格較為便宜,然而,多數係由醫療 機構所自製,皆無流程化控管,故其粒徑大小、消毒能力及品質,皆存有極大之問題,易導致影響醫療品質;而就無藥物釋放之栓塞球而言,其價格極為昂貴,約0.5ml即要價數千元,而若為藥物釋放栓塞球或攜帶放射線同位素Yttrium-90栓塞球,其價格甚至每0.5ml需數萬至數十萬元,上述各式栓塞球價格高昂之主因在於,其製程及粒徑控制不易,而因醫療用之栓塞球之粒徑所需為250μm至350μm或400μm至500μm,故需耗費諸多精密儀器及控制設備方能達致其粒徑所需,再者,其製備速率極為緩慢,且於栓塞球填充藥物之時間耗時甚長,故將導致提高醫療成本,因此患者需負擔之治療費用亦將隨之增加,進而影響醫療品質之或者之權益。 However, commonly used embolization devices for treating liver cancer, such as: gelatin (Gelfoam), drug-free embolization sphere (Embosphere), drug-releasing beads-DC beads, and radioactive isotope Yttrium-90 embolization ball; In the case of gelatin, the price is cheaper, however, most are medical The self-made by the organization has no process control, so its particle size, disinfection ability and quality have great problems, which may affect the quality of the medical treatment. For the embolization ball without drug release, the price is extremely expensive. About 0.5ml is a price of several thousand dollars, and if the drug releases the embolization ball or carries the radioactive isotope Yttrium-90 embolization ball, the price even needs tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan per 0.5ml, the main reason for the high price of the above-mentioned various embolization balls Therefore, the process and particle size control are not easy, and the diameter of the medically used embolic ball needs to be 250 μm to 350 μm or 400 μm to 500 μm, so it takes a lot of precision instruments and control equipment to achieve the particle size. Furthermore, the preparation rate is extremely slow, and the time required for the embolization of the ball to fill the drug is very long, which will lead to an increase in the medical cost, so that the treatment cost for the patient will also increase, thereby affecting the quality of the medical product. .

有鑑於此,吾等發明人乃潛心進一步研究栓塞球之製程設備,並著手進行研發,期以一較佳發明以解決上述問題,且在經過不斷試驗及修改後而有本發明之問世。 In view of this, our inventors have devote themselves to further research on the process equipment of the embolic ball, and have begun research and development, with a better invention to solve the above problems, and have been experimentally and modified to have the present invention.

緣是,本發明之目的係為解決習之明膠之製程,其粒徑大小、消毒能力及品質無法有效進行控管,而無藥物釋放之栓塞球、藥物釋放栓塞球及攜帶放射線同位素Yttrium-90栓塞球之製造設備及成本昂貴,製備所耗時甚長,故價格極為高昂,導致提高醫療成本,增加患者需負擔之治療費用,進而影響醫療品質之或者之權益等缺失。 The reason is that the purpose of the present invention is to solve the process of the gelatin, the particle size, the disinfection ability and the quality cannot be effectively controlled, and the drug-free embolization ball, the drug release embolization ball and the radioactive isotope Yttrium-90 The manufacturing equipment and cost of the embolization ball are expensive, and the preparation takes a long time, so the price is extremely high, which leads to an increase in medical costs, an increase in the cost of treatment for the patient, and thus an impairment of the quality of the medical product or the like.
