Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an encryption microneedle for autologous hair transplantation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Autologous hair transplantation is a surgical technique that applies microsurgery, which takes a portion of healthy hair follicle tissue, carefully processes and cultures it, and then transplants it to the bald or hairless areas of the patient in an artistic manner according to the natural hair growth direction. After the hair follicle survives, it will grow new healthy hair, and the new hair will maintain all the biological characteristics of the original hair and will not fall off or die again. During the hair transplantation process, the encryption microneedle is one of the essential tools to ensure the effectiveness of hair transplantation.

[0003] The existing hair transplantation microneedle has a slot on the side wall of the needle body to achieve rapid placement of the hair follicle. The medical staff needs to send the hair follicle into the internal channel of the microneedle through the slot. However, due to the structural design, the slot is always open. During the entire process from placing the hair follicle into the microneedle to inserting the microneedle into the scalp, the slot is directly connected to the external environment, which causes the hair follicle to be exposed to the air for a long time, accelerates the loss of moisture in the hair follicle, and damages the activity of the hair papilla cells. On the other hand, dust, bacteria, and other impurities in the air can easily contaminate the hair follicle through the slot, increasing the risk of postoperative infection. Moreover, there are significant individual differences in the thickness of the scalp of different patients, and the scalp conditions in different implantation areas of the same patient are also different. In addition, the length of the hair follicle also requires individualized insertion depth. Most traditional techniques rely on the experience of medical staff to determine the insertion depth, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time scalp conditions and hair follicle characteristics of the patient. If the insertion is too shallow, the hair follicle may not be fully implanted into the subcutaneous tissue, which may lead to ischemic necrosis or falling off due to external force. If the insertion is too deep, it may penetrate the subcutaneous fascia layer, damaging blood vessels and nerves, and affecting the survival rate of the hair follicle. Moreover, most existing microneedles are single-needle structures, which rely only on the holding force of the medical staff's hands to maintain stability during insertion into the scalp. During the critical period of insertion and removal of the microneedle, due to the frictional adhesion between the scalp and the needle body, and the lack of fixation structure around the implantation hole, the hair follicle is easily brought out of the scalp with the microneedle, forming an "empty hole implantation". This not only requires a second implantation, increasing the operation time and consumption of hair follicle resources, but also may aggravate the scalp trauma due to repeated operations, further reducing the survival probability of the hair follicle.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0042] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment of a dense microneedle for autologous hair transplantation includes a main shaft 1, a limiting body 2 installed at the top of the main shaft 1, and a microneedle body 3 installed at the bottom of the main shaft 1. The bottom outer side of the microneedle body 3 has a groove 8 for placing hair follicles. A fixing seat 9 is installed at the center of the top of the limiting body 2. The entire dense microneedle can be fixedly installed onto a designated instrument for hair transplantation surgery via the fixing seat 9. A blocking mechanism 4 for blocking the groove 8 is provided on the outer side of the microneedle body 3. The blocking mechanism 4 includes a blocking tube 401 sleeved on the outer side of the microneedle body 3. The bottom of the outer side of the shielding tube 401 is provided with a strip-shaped inlet 402 that cooperates with the slot 8. The top of the shielding tube 401 is equipped with a connecting seat 403. Initially, the shielding tube 401, which is fitted on the outside of the microneedle 3, has its strip-shaped inlet 402 overlapping with the slot 8 of the microneedle 3, which allows hair follicles to be quickly inserted. Subsequently, the shielding tube 401 is rotated by the transmission mechanism, which can make the strip-shaped inlet 402 staggered from the slot 8, so that the shielding tube 401 covers the slot 8, realizing the rapid placement of hair follicles. At the same time, it can prevent hair follicles from contacting the outside world before being inserted into the scalp, reduce oxidative damage and pollution, and preserve the activity of hair follicles.

[0043] like Figures 4-6As shown, in this embodiment, a bottom ring 12 is installed at the bottom of the outer side of the shielding tube 401. The bottom of the bottom ring 12 gradually concaves from the edge to the center. An arc-shaped notch 13 is provided at the part of the bottom ring 12 near the strip-shaped inlet 402. The arc-shaped notch 13 is used to provide clearance space for the hair follicle to enter the microneedle 3 through the strip-shaped inlet 402. When the microneedle 3 is inserted into the scalp, the bottom ring 12 (the bottom edge is concave towards the center) at the bottom of the shielding tube 401 presses against the scalp, squeezing the scalp around the implantation hole towards the center. The arc-shaped notch 13 on the bottom ring 12 provides space for the hair follicle to be placed. The bottom ring 12 enhances the stability of the microneedle 3 insertion, prevents the needle from deviating and damaging the hair follicle, and forms a "wrap-like fixation" for the hair follicle by squeezing the scalp, preventing the hair follicle from falling out with the needle when the microneedle is pulled out, thus improving the implantation success rate.

[0044] like Figures 7-12 and Figure 15As shown, in this embodiment, a triggering mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the main rod 1. The outer side of the triggering mechanism 6 is connected to the blocking mechanism 4 via a transmission mechanism 5. The transmission mechanism 5 includes a collar 501 sleeved on the bottom of the outer side of the main rod 1. A first sleeve 502 is installed on the outer side of the collar 501. Limiting posts 503 are symmetrically installed on the top of the outer side of the first sleeve 502, and the ends of the two sets of limiting posts 503 extend into the interior of the first sleeve 502. Three sets of connecting rods 504 integrally formed with the connecting seat 403 are installed at equal intervals along the circumference at the bottom of the collar 501. The triggering mechanism 6 includes a second sleeve 601 sleeved in the middle part of the outer side of the main rod 1. A first spring 602 and a spacer ring are respectively sleeved from top to bottom on the bottom of the outer side of the main rod 1. 603, and the top and bottom ends of the first spring 602 are fixedly connected to the second sleeve 601 and the spacer ring 603 respectively. The outer side of the second sleeve 601 is provided with two sets of arc-shaped grooves 604 and two sets of straight grooves 605 that cooperate with the inner end of the limiting post 503. The two sets of arc-shaped grooves 604 are centrally symmetrically distributed on the outer side of the second sleeve 601, and the two sets of straight grooves 605 are axially symmetrically distributed on the outer side of the second sleeve 601. The ends of the two sets of arc-shaped grooves 604 that are close to each other are connected through the straight grooves 605. The top end of the outer side of the second sleeve 601 is symmetrically provided with guide members 606 that cooperate with the outer end of the limiting post 503. The second sleeve 601 is movably connected to the outer side of the main rod body 1 through the connecting member 607. The guide member 606 includes a straight groove located at the top end of the second sleeve 601. The guide block 6061 is located directly above 605. The bottom of the guide block 6061 has a beveled surface 6062 that mates with the outer end of the limiting post 503. A clearance groove 6063, adapted to the first sleeve 502, is provided on the side of the bottom of the guide block 6061 near the second sleeve 601. The connecting component 607 includes a sliding groove 6071, with two sets of sliding grooves 6071 symmetrically distributed in the middle of the outer side of the main rod body 1. Each set of sliding grooves 6071 contains a slider 6072 fixedly connected to the inner side of the second sleeve 601. A second spring 6073, fixedly connected to the top of the slider 6072, is installed at the inner top of the sliding groove 6071. The bottom of the spacer ring 603 is evenly provided with rolling fits that mate with the top of the collar 501. The ball bearing roller 11 is used to convert the sliding friction between the spacer ring 603 and the collar 501 into rolling friction to reduce wear. A limit ring 10 is installed at the bottom of the outer side of the main rod body 1. When the first sleeve 502 is manually pushed up, its inner limit post 503 moves along the straight groove 605, is guided by the oblique surface 6062 into the arc-shaped groove 604, and drives the second sleeve 601 to rise. When the first sleeve 502 is released, the second spring 6073 drives the second sleeve 601 to reset, and the first spring 602 drives the first sleeve 502 to reset. At the same time, the first sleeve 502 rotates, which drives the shielding tube body 401 to rotate through the collar 501 and the connecting rod 504. The ball bearing roller 11 reduces component friction, and the limit ring 10 restricts the movement of the collar 501.The overall design achieves automatic rotation of the shielding tube 401, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and simplifying the hair follicle placement process. Spring reset enhances operational convenience, steel ball rollers reduce wear and extend device lifespan, and limit rings ensure stable operation.

[0045] like Figures 1-3 and Figures 13-14 As shown, an adjustment mechanism 7 is provided at the top of the outer side of the main rod 1 in this embodiment. The adjustment mechanism 7 includes an external thread 703 located at the top of the outer side of the main rod 1. An internal thread tube 701 is threaded through the external thread 703 at the top of the outer side of the main rod 1. An outer sleeve 702 is installed on the outer side of the internal thread tube 701. Three sets of abutments 704 for limiting the rising height of the second sleeve 601 are evenly installed at the bottom of the internal thread tube 701. The outer sleeve 702 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting body 2. The outer side of the limiting body 2 is provided with a length scale line 705 that cooperates with the outer sleeve 702. The outer side of the outer sleeve 702 is provided with anti-slip texture. By holding the outer sleeve 702 with anti-slip texture, the internal thread tube 701 is rotated along the external thread 703 of the main rod 1, which drives the abutment 704 to move up and down. The abutment 704 limits the rising height of the second sleeve 601. The insertion depth of the microneedle 3 is calibrated in combination with the length scale line 705 of the limiting body 2.

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Based on the patient's scalp thickness and hair follicle length, the insertion depth of the microneedle 3 is set. Holding the outer sleeve 702, the inner threaded tube 701 is rotated along the external thread 703 on the outside of the main rod 1, causing the inner threaded tube 701 to move up and down along the main rod 1. Simultaneously, the three sets of abutments 704 at its bottom move synchronously until the distance between the abutments 704 and the top of the second sleeve 601 matches the preset depth. The movement distance of the inner threaded tube 701 is visually read through the length scale line 705 on the outside of the limiting body 2. Further rotation of the outer sleeve 702 is used to calibrate the insertion depth of the microneedle 3. Initially, the strip-shaped inlet 402 of the shielding tube 401 coincides with the slot 8 of the microneedle 3. When the hair follicle is inserted into the microneedle... After the bottom of the needle body 3 is reached, the first sleeve 502 is manually pushed upwards. The inner ends of the two sets of limiting posts 503 on the inner side of the first sleeve 502 rise within the straight groove 605. When the inner ends of the limiting posts 503 move to the top of the straight groove 605, the guide of the beveled surface 6062 forces the inner ends of the limiting posts 503 to move to the higher end of the arc-shaped groove 604. Then, the first sleeve 502 drives the second sleeve 601 to rise together through the limiting posts 503 until the abutment rod 704 abuts the top of the second sleeve 601. Then, the first sleeve 502 is released, and the elastic potential energy of the second spring 6073 pushes the slider 6072 to move the second sleeve 601 downwards until the slider 6072 moves into the groove 6071. At the very bottom, the elastic potential energy of the first spring 602 also drives the first sleeve 502 to slide downwards outside the second sleeve 601 through the spacer ring 603 and the collar 501. During this process, the inner end of the limiting post 503 slides from the high end to the low end inside the arc-shaped groove 604 (which is also the inner bottom of the straight groove 605). The first sleeve 502 rotates half a turn clockwise during the descent (that is, the central angle of the arc-shaped groove 604 is 180°, and when the limiting post 503 slides from the high end to the low end along the arc-shaped groove 604, it drives the first sleeve 502 to rotate 180° clockwise). This causes the collar 501, connecting rod 504, connecting seat 403 and shielding tube 401 to descend together and rotate half a turn clockwise. When the microneedle 3 is inserted into the scalp, the scalp exerts an upward reaction force on the bottom ring 12. The bottom ring 12 drives the shielding tube 401, connecting rod 504, and collar 501 to rise, which in turn pushes the first sleeve 502 to rise. The inner end of the limiting post 503 moves to the inner top of the straight groove 605 and enters the high end of the arc-shaped groove 604. As the operator pulls out the microneedle 3, the shielding tube 401 descends again and rotates half a turn clockwise. At this time, the strip-shaped inlet 402 overlaps with the groove 8 again, and the operator continues to put the hair follicles to be transplanted into the inner bottom of the microneedle 3.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
