Rib retractor for thoracic surgeons

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of thoracic surgery, in particular to a rib retractor for thoracic surgeons The rib retractor comprises a retractor body and a traction structure, wherein the retractor body comprises an overturning plate, a first micro motor is fixedly mounted in the overturning plate, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first micro motor, and two groups of movable blocks are movably mounted on the rotating rod; and the traction structure comprises two groups of movable arms, the movable arms are fixedly mounted at the front ends of the movable blocks, and an illuminating lamp is fixedly mounted on the bottom surfaces of the movable arms. According to the rib retractor, the two groups of movable arms are arranged, ribs on the two sides can be pulled at the same time, the pulling amplitude of the ribs is reduced, tissue damage is reduced, besides, two sets of clamping jaws are arranged on one set of movable arms, the ribs are alternately pressed and fixed, damage to intercostal muscles can be reduced, postoperative pain of a patient is reduced, and the practicability of the rib retractor is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thoracic surgery, in particular to a rib distraction device for thoracic surgeons. Background technique [0002] Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that specializes in the study of thoracic organs, mainly referring to the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal, lung, and mediastinal lesions. The field of breast surgery is also included in this specialty, and pulmonary surgery and esophageal surgery are the main ones. When the surgeon performs a thoracotomy, in order to facilitate the insertion of the scalpel into the body for surgery, he must use the rib distraction device to open the incision, so as to widen the field of view and facilitate exploration and operation. [0003] However, when the existing rib retractor is in use, it will cause strong compression and long-term compression on the upper rib and the lower intercostal muscles, causing damage to the intercostal muscles, resulting in postopera...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a rib retractor for thoracic surgeons, to solve the problem that the existing rib retractor proposed in the above background technology will cause strong compression on the upper ribs and the intercostal muscles below them when in use. Compression for a long time can cause damage to the intercostal muscles, leading to postoperative pain, and the existing rib retractor is composed of a fixed arm and a movable arm. When in use, the ribs can only be distracted by moving the movable arm alone. Open operation is inconvenient to use, and large-scale movement of one side of the rib will cause damage to one side of the tissue
