Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical surgical tools, and in particular relates to a universal incision retractor used for thoracic surgery. Background Art
[0002] Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of organs within the chest cavity. Some thoracic surgeries require thoracotomy. In order to fully expose the internal space of the chest cavity, a retractor is usually used to open or retract the sternum on both sides.
[0003] At present, common retractors are caliper-shaped, similar to scissors or slide rails. Retractors are evolving from pure scissors to head-changing and head-dropping scissors, in order to continuously adapt to the needs of medical staff. However, scissor-type retractors generally have the limitation of a single retraction direction. Existing caliper-type retractors are constantly enriched in design details, adding functions such as lighting, recording, retraction fine-tuning and dimension, but the gear transmission structure drives one of the expansion plates to slide relative to the other expansion plate. This structure still has disadvantages, and the expansion force on the two sides of the sternum is prone to differences, so it requires a high level of operation for medical staff. At present, there are also some ring-frame retractors, which have increased retraction directions and dimensions compared with the above-mentioned retractors. However, the common types of ring-frame retractors either have fixed hook positions, or their angles and positions are affected by the square frame and have certain limitations in adjustment, lack flexibility, and are prone to cause damage to the tissues around the incision during retraction, which is not convenient for micro-incision surgery.
[0004] In summary, whether scissors, calipers or the current ring-shaped retractors, they are not easy to flexibly adapt to the incision and cannot effectively reduce the injury caused by minimally invasive incisions. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a universal incision retractor for thoracic surgery to reduce the pulling damage to the minimally invasive incision during minimally invasive thoracic surgery and realize the function of multi-directional retraction adjustment.

The gear is meshed with the rack inside the rack seat, and the top end of the rotating shaft passes through the top of the rack seat and is connected to the crank.
[0010] Furthermore, the crank handle is universally connected to the top of the rotating shaft of the dial wheel via a cross pin.
[0011] Furthermore, a through hole b is formed at one end of the rack facing the center of the supporting base ring, a hanging bolt is rotatably connected in the through hole b, and the draw hook is connected to the hanging bolt.
[0012] Furthermore, the draw hook is an inverted L-shaped structure consisting of an arc-shaped hook body and a short handle, and a screw hole is provided on the short handle for threaded connection with a hanging bolt.
[0013] Furthermore, the retractor hook is a narrow hook or a wide hook. When the retractor hook is pulled open along the length direction of the incision, the narrow retractor hook is selected, and when the retractor hook is pulled open along the width direction of the incision, the wide retractor hook is selected.
[0014] Furthermore, the width of the narrow hook is 1-4 cm, and the width of the wide hook is 3-9 cm.
[0015] Furthermore, the narrow hook and the wide hook are 3-8 cm in height.
[0016] Compared with the prior art solutions, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The support base ring 4 is in a closed ring shape, and a plurality of pin holes 10 are opened along the normal direction on the outer wall surface of the ring-shaped rectangular cross section;
[0028] The rack seat 5 is formed by buckling a concave groove and a cover plate, and is sleeved on the support base ring 4. Two through holes a are also opened in the same position as the pin hole 10 of the support base ring 4. The fixing pin 9 passes through the through hole a and is inserted into the pin hole 10 of the support base ring 4 to fix the position of the rack seat 5 on the support base ring 4. A bar hole is provided between the two through holes a, and the bar hole allows the rack 2 to pass through the rack seat 5 parallel to the plane of the support base ring 4. The thumbwheel 6 is vertically inserted on the top wall of the support base ring 4 parallel to the bar hole;
[0029] The thumbwheel 6 is an axisymmetric rotating body composed of a gear and a rotating shaft. The gear meshes with the teeth of the rack 2 in the bar hole. The top of the rotating shaft passes through the top of the rack seat 5 and is connected to the crank 3 through a cross universal joint of a pin shaft. The thumbwheel 6 can be rotated by the crank 3 to drive the rack 2 to translate in the rack seat 5.
[0030] The end of the rack 2 facing the center of the support base ring 4 is provided with a through hole b along the central axis direction of the support base ring 4, and the hanging bolt 1 passes through the through hole b to hinge and suspend the narrow hook 7 or the wide hook 8 with the rack 2;
[0031] The narrow hook 7 or the wide hook 8 is an inverted L-shaped hook consisting of an arc-shaped hook body and a short handle, and the short handle has a screw hole for threaded connection with the hanging bolt 1;
[0032] The width of the arc-shaped hook body of the narrow hook 7 is set at 1-4 cm, and can be set to four specifications: 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm, and 4.0 cm; the width of the arc-shaped hook body of the wide hook 8 is set at 3-9 cm, and can be set to five specifications: 3.0 cm, 4.0 cm, 5.0 cm, 7.0 cm, and 9.0 cm. The height of the narrow hook 7 and the wide hook 8 can be set to several levels between 3.0 cm and 8.0 cm, and can be selected according to the needs of the operation.
[0033] By pulling the fixing pin 9 out of the pin hole 10, the rack seat 5 can be slid to adjust its circumferential position on the supporting base ring 4. According to the size of the chest incision, the number of rack seats 5 on the supporting base ring 4 can be as needed, usually 3 to 5 are arranged; by rotating the dial wheel 6 through the crank 3 and then rotating through the gear meshing, the rack 2 can be translated in the rack seat 5, and the distance from the narrow hook 7 or wide hook 8 hanging at the end to the center of the supporting base ring 4 can be adjusted, so as to achieve the purpose of opening the incision.
