Problems solved by technology

[0011] The disadvantage of the medical device disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,782,850A is that its construction is still relatively complicated
In addition, medical devices are constructed such that the groove-like depressions and the hook-like cutting edges extending therein may cause undesired damage to surrounding tissues and structures, especially during the extraction of the medical device

Abstract

A medical instrument (1) for percutaneous release procedures, especially on upper or lower limbs, such as percutaneous carpal tunnel release or percutaneous A1 pulley release. The medical instrument (1) comprises a handle portion (2) designed to allow handling, orientation and manipulation of the medical instrument (1) and an elongated rod member (5) secured to the handle portion (2) and extending within a defined plane (P0). A first portion of the elongated rod member (5) extends along a first direction (al) within the defined plane (PO) away from the handle portion (2), and a second portion of the elongated rod member (5), downstream of the first portion, is curved and / or bent within the defined plane (P0). A free end of the elongated rod member (5), at a terminal end (5A) of the second portion, is shaped as a bevelled end (6) exhibiting a bevelled surface (6A), which bevelled end (6) is designed to act as a cutting device to severe tissue, the bevelled surface (6A) being inclined with respect to the defined plane (P0).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to medical devices for use in percutaneous release procedures, particularly for upper or lower extremity release procedures, such as but not limited to percutaneous carpal tunnel release and percutaneous A1 pulley release. Solution. The present invention is also applicable to other release procedures such as, but not limited to, tenolysis, tenotomy, tenotomy-lengthening, aponeurosis, neurolysis, and neurotomy. [0002] Background of the invention [0003] Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger syndrome (TFS) can be conveniently treated with surgical release procedures. These surgical release procedures are usually performed using a simple puncture needle or more complex hook knife or push knife. This medical device can also be used for other surgical release procedures on the upper or lower extremities, such as for the treatment of Morton's neuroma, tarsal tunnel release, de Kravin syndrome, epicondylal...
