Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of scalpels, and particularly relates to a needle knife for treating tenosynovitis of the flexor tendon. Background Art
[0002] Stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor tendon is commonly known as "snapping finger". It refers to a clinical symptomatic disease caused by repeated friction between the flexor tendon and the fibrous sheath tube of the flexor tendon at the metacarpophalangeal joint during the alternating activities of frequent finger bending and straightening, resulting in a chronic aseptic inflammatory reaction, local exudation, edema and fibrosis, thickening of the fibrous sheath wall of the flexor tendon, local thickening of the tendon, and obstruction of the tendon sliding at this site. In addition, because the finger flexion and extension movements of the patient are like pulling the trigger of a pistol and a snapping sound can occur, it is also called "trigger finger". Its clinical manifestations mainly include pain, tenderness in the palm and limited flexion and extension of the affected finger. When the condition of snapping finger is relatively serious, surgical treatment is required. The affected tendon sheath is incised through a needle knife to be released, so that the tendon can slide smoothly at this site.

Specific embodiments
[0030] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0031] In the paragraphs of detailed description, the orientation nouns involved are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application according to the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, terms such as "set", "installed", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0032] Embodiment 1:
[0033] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a needle knife for treating tenosynovitis includes a fixed rod 1. The diameter H2 of the fixed rod 1 is 1.2 - 2 mm, and the diameter H2 of the fixed rod 1 is preferably 1.5 mm. One end of the fixed rod 1 is provided with a needle knife head 2, and the other end of the fixed rod 1 is provided with a handle assembly 3. The needle knife head 2 has a flat structure that bends downward, and the two front corners of the front end of the needle knife head 2 are transitioned by arcs, that is, the needle knife head 2 has a spatula-like structure. The width direction of the needle knife head 2 is perpendicular to the height direction of the handle assembly 3, which is convenient for operation and use. Both sides and the front end of the lower end surface of the needle knife head 2 are provided with blades 201. The downward bending angle a of the needle knife head 2 is 110 - 130°, the length H1 of the needle knife head 2 is 5 - 7 mm, and the width of the needle knife head 2 is 1 - 2 mm. During processing, the thickness of the needle knife head 2 gradually becomes thinner from back to front. This structure makes the wound smaller, is not easy to cause infection, and the spatula-like needle knife head 2 is easier to control compared with the sickle-like structure. The sickle-like curved knife head is removed, and the safety is higher, avoiding damage to the tendon during the operation when searching for the tendon sheath.
[0034] In this embodiment, the handle assembly 3 is formed by bending the fixing rod 1 upward, and the end of the handle assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 1l. The handle assembly 3 plays a supporting role. According to needs, the fixing rod 1 can be processed into various length specifications, and at the same time, the width of the needle knife head 2 can also be processed into various width specifications.
[0035] Embodiment Two:
[0036] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, upper sliding grooves 101 and lower sliding grooves 103 are respectively formed on the outer side walls on the upper and lower sides of the fixing rod 1 along its axial direction. The upper sliding groove 101 is a smooth structure, and anti-slip ridges 104 are provided on the lower sliding groove 103. The handle assembly 3 is slidably arranged on the fixing rod 1, and a limit disc 102 for sliding limit of the handle assembly 3 is provided at the end of the fixing rod 1. Among them, the upper sliding groove 101 is used to prevent the handle assembly 3 from rotating relative to the fixing rod 1, and the lower sliding groove 103 is used for position adjustment of the handle assembly 3, so that the position of the handle assembly 3 can be flexibly adjusted.
[0037] As Figures 6 to 8 shown, the handle assembly 3 includes a movable handle 31. The movable handle 31 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 1. According to the operating habit, the position of the movable handle 31 on the fixing rod 1 can be adjusted arbitrarily. A limit seat 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable handle 31, and a fixed handle 34 is rotatably connected to the limit seat 32. A clamping mechanism 33 for fixing the position of the fixing rod 1 is arranged in the limit seat 32. Rotating the fixed handle 34 can drive the clamping mechanism 33 to be closely matched with the lower sliding groove 103, that is, after determining the position of the movable handle 31, rotating the fixed handle 34, the fixed handle 34 squeezes the clamping mechanism 33 towards the fixing rod 1 side, so that the clamping mechanism 33 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 1.
[0038] Specifically, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the movable handle 31 includes a handle body 311. Fixing grooves 312 are respectively formed on the front and rear sides of the handle body 311. Anti-slip patterns are provided on the fixing grooves 312. The fixing grooves 312 are used for the operator to tightly hold the handle body 311. Compared with the prior art, the operator needs to hold the fixing rod 1 to fix the needle knife. The handle body 311 increases the force-bearing area when the needle knife is fixed, is more convenient to use, and at the same time is convenient for the operator to apply force downward, and the force is easy to master.
[0039] A through hole 314 that matches the outer wall of the fixed rod 1 is provided in the width direction of the handle body 311. A limit slider 313 that matches the upper sliding groove 101 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the through hole 314. The limit slider 313 can prevent relative rotation between the handle body 311 and the fixed rod 1. An installation groove 315 is provided at the bottom of the handle body 311, and the limit seat 32 is fixedly installed in the installation groove 315.
[0040] As Figure 9 shown, the limit seat 32 includes a fixed sleeve 321. An inner hole that slidably matches the outer wall of the fixed rod 1 is provided on the fixed sleeve 321. An anti-slip layer 322 with a disconnected bottom is provided on the inner side wall of the inner hole. The bottom of the anti-slip layer 322 is disconnected, which does not hinder the installation of the fixed handle 34 and the clamping mechanism 33. At the same time, the anti-slip layer 322 increases the friction between the outer wall of the fixed rod 1, preventing the movable handle 31 from sliding freely with the limit seat 32. An activity hole 323 for the sliding of the clamping mechanism 33 is provided at the bottom of the inner hole, and a rotation hole 324 for installing the fixed handle 34 is provided at the bottom of the fixed sleeve 321.
[0041] As Figure 10 shown, the clamping mechanism 33 includes an arc-shaped fixing plate 331. The longitudinal section on the upper side of the arc-shaped fixing plate 331 is in an arc structure, and the arc structure matches the lower sliding groove 103. Anti-slip protrusions 332 are provided on the arc structure of the arc-shaped fixing plate 331. The anti-slip protrusions 332 further increase the friction between the lower sliding groove 103, making the clamping mechanism 33 more firmly and reliably fixed. The arc-shaped fixing plate 331 is made of rubber. Fixed columns 333 that slidably match the activity hole 323 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the arc-shaped fixing plate 331. A spring 334 is fixedly connected between the fixed column 333 and the inner end surface of the activity hole 323. The spring 334 is a tension spring. A fixed block 335 is provided between the two fixed columns 333, and the fixed block 335 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped fixing plate 331.
[0042] As Figure 11 shown, the fixed handle 34 includes a pressing member 341. The pressing member 341 has a cylindrical structure. A rotating shaft 342 that matches the rotation hole 324 is fixedly connected to a position deviating from the center of the circle of the pressing member 341. The side wall of the pressing member 341 farthest from the rotating shaft 342 is the locking side, and the other side is the activity side. A handle body 343 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the pressing member 341. The handle body 343 is preferably arranged between the locking side and the activity side. The rest is the same as in the first embodiment.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the position of the movable handle 31 needs to be adjusted, the handle body 343 is bent downward to rotate the pressing member 341. At this time, the handle body 343 is in a vertical state, and the locking side does not abut against the clamping mechanism 33. Under the reset action of the spring 334, there is a gap between the clamping mechanism 33 and the lower chute 103 on the fixed rod 1, and the handle assembly 3 can slide freely on the fixed rod 1.
[0044] After the operator determines the position of the handle assembly 3 as needed, the handle body 343 is bent upward, and the handle body 343 drives the pressing member 341 to rotate, so that the locking side presses the fixed block 335. Under the limiting action of the fixed column 333 and the movable hole 323, the fixed block 335 moves upward, so that the anti-slip protrusion 332 of the arc-shaped fixing plate 331 is in close fit with the lower chute 103. The anti-slip protrusion 332 increases the friction between the arc-shaped fixing plate 331 and the lower chute 103 to prevent it from sliding. At the same time, the anti-slip ridges 104 in the lower chute 103 further play a role in increasing friction and preventing slipping. At this time, the fixed rod 1 and the handle assembly 3 are fixed together.
[0045] By adjusting the position of the handle assembly 3, the needle knife can adapt to the operating habits of different operators and is more flexible. At the same time, the cutting edge 201 at the front end of the spatula-shaped needle knife head 2 is a flat edge, and the flat edge is convenient for piercing perpendicularly into the subcutaneous tissue at a 90-degree angle with the palm surface. In this way, during the operation, it is easier to extend distally and accurately locate the affected area of the snapping. The cutting edges on both sides of the spatula-shaped needle knife head 2 are convenient for cutting the tendon sheath downward and proximally; at the same time, the cutting edges 201 on both sides of the front end of the needle knife head 2 adopt a smooth transition to avoid scratching the tendon during the advancing operation, and the safety is higher.
[0046] Finally, although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
