Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a novel positionable vitreous cavity injector. Background Art

[0002] In the treatment of some intraocular diseases, such as retinal diseases like macular edema caused by various reasons, due to the special characteristics of the eye, it is difficult to achieve the required blood drug concentration through systemic medication (oral or intravenous administration), topical eye drops, or eye ointments, thereby affecting the therapeutic effect or even failing to achieve the purpose of treating the disease. Vitreous drug injection can effectively solve this problem. Therefore, vitreous drug injection plays a very important role in the treatment of some intraocular diseases, especially retinal diseases.

[0003] In clinical practice, intravitreal drug injections typically use a standard 1ml syringe. Doctors must use an auxiliary locator to determine the injection location before inserting the needle and injecting the drug into the vitreous cavity. This, coupled with hand shaking, can cause damage to the lens and retina of the affected eye. This can be very inconvenient, especially for young doctors. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a novel, positionable intravitreal syringe to address the issues raised in the background art. Utility Model Content

The outer diameter of the piston matches the inner diameter of the inner tube. The piston is fixed on the push rod. The end of the push rod extends out of the inner tube and is fixedly connected to a circular push handle.

[0009] Furthermore, a first wing handle is fixed to the end of the outer tube, and a second wing handle is fixed to the end of the inner tube. Both the first wing handle and the second wing handle have frosted surfaces on one side close to the push handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the needle is provided with two types: a medicine collection needle and an injection needle. The medicine collection needle is used to absorb the medicine to be injected, and the injection needle is used to inject the medicine into the patient's eyeball. The outer diameter of the injection needle is 30G. When the syringe slides to the front end of the outer tube and contacts the inner bottom surface of its end, the front end of the injection needle extends 14mm-16mm from the lower end surface of the silicone gasket.

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 7 ,

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] A novel positionable intravitreal syringe comprises a guide positioning mechanism and a syringe, wherein the guide positioning mechanism comprises an outer barrel 6 and a positioning ring 10, wherein the positioning ring 10 is arranged at the front end of the outer barrel 6 and is an integral structure concentrically arranged with the outer barrel 6, a concentric annular silicone gasket 12 is provided on the front end surface of the positioning ring 10, and the silicone gasket 12 is positioned on the flat part of the ciliary body behind the corneal scleral margin of the patient's eyeball, a metal needle catheter 11 is provided at the center position of the front end surface of the outer barrel 6, and the front end surface of the metal needle catheter 11 does not exceed the front end surface of the silicone gasket 12, the syringe is slidably connected to the inside of the outer barrel 6, and the outer sleeve of the syringe is provided with a The rubber stopper 13 matches the inner diameter of the outer tube 6 to prevent the syringe from shaking during injection. The outer tube 6 is provided with air holes 7 near its front end surface and on the side of the positioning ring 10. The outer diameter of the positioning ring is 8mm, the inner diameter is 6mm, and the length is 5mm. The outer diameter of the silicone gasket is 8mm, the inner diameter is 6mm, and the thickness of the silicone gasket is 1mm. The outer diameter of the metal needle catheter 11 is 2mm, the inner diameter is 30G (G is the unit for measuring the thickness of the needle), and the length is 6mm. The front end surface of the metal needle catheter 11 is flush with the front end surface of the silicone gasket. When the needle is inserted, it can compress the eyeball, avoid bleeding from the pinhole, and play a hemostatic role.

[0027] The syringe needles are available in two types: a drug removal needle 4 and an injection needle 5. The drug removal needle 4 is used to draw the medication to be injected, while the injection needle 5 is used to inject the medication into the patient's eye. The injection needle has an outer diameter of 30G. When the syringe slides to the front end of the outer barrel and contacts the inner surface of its end, the front end of the injection needle 5 protrudes 14mm-16mm from the lower end surface of the silicone gasket, limiting the insertion length of the injection needle 5 to prevent damage to the eyeball due to improper operation. Currently, the most commonly used syringe for surgical procedures is the 1mL syringe.

[0028] When using the novel positionable intravitreal syringe of this embodiment, the syringe inside the outer barrel 6 is first removed and replaced with the drug dispensing needle 4. The drug dispensing needle 4 is inserted into the medicine bottle to draw out the drug, and the excess air inside the syringe is expelled. The syringe is then replaced with the injection needle 5, and the syringe is reinserted into the outer barrel 6. The syringe is then pushed so that the injection needle 5 extends into the metal needle guide 11 and the tip of the injection needle 5 does not extend beyond the front end of the metal needle guide 11, thereby preventing the extended needle from injuring the lens and retina during positioning. The patient's upper and lower eyelids are then held open to expose the sclera. The outer edge of the silicone gasket 12 at the front end of the positioning ring 10 is brought into contact with the lateral tangent of the corneal sclera of the affected eye for positioning. The syringe is then pushed forward as a whole, so that the injection needle 5 is advanced through the metal needle guide 11. After the tip of the injection needle 5 enters the scleral limbus, it stops in the posterior vitreous, 4 mm from the corneal sclera. The needle is positioned at the pars plana of the patient's ciliary body, and the syringe is used to inject the drug into the vitreous cavity of the affected eye.

[0029] This embodiment utilizes a positioning ring 10 to directly position the needle tip at the pars plana of the patient's ciliary body. The positioning ring 10 at the front end of the outer barrel 6 also provides support for the injection needle 5 after insertion into the patient's eyeball, preventing unnecessary damage to the patient's eyeball due to hand shaking or needle slippage during injection. The air hole 7 allows for the discharge of air from the cavity, maintaining a constant pressure during positioning and injection.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] The syringe includes an inner cylinder 1, a push rod 2 and a piston 3. The rubber stopper 13 is sleeved on the inner cylinder 1. The end of the inner cylinder 1 extends out of the outer cylinder 6. The front end of the inner cylinder 1 is provided with a connector that can be connected to a needle. The piston 3 is arranged inside the inner cylinder 1. The outer diameter of the piston 3 matches the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 1. The piston 3 is fixed on the push rod 2. The end of the push rod 2 extends out of the inner cylinder 1 and is fixedly connected to the circular push handle 14.

[0032] Example 3:

[0033] A first wing handle 9 is fixed to the end of the outer tube 6, and a second wing handle 8 is fixed to the end of the inner tube 1. Both the first and second wing handles 9 and 8 have frosted surfaces on the side closest to the push handle 14. The use of these wing handles allows needle insertion and medication injection to be performed single-handed, freeing the auxiliary hand for better intraoperative hemostasis and other emergency situations, resulting in greater safety.

[0034] Example 4:

[0035] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the outer diameter of the outer cylinder is 8 mm and the inner diameter is 7 mm.

[0036] Although the present invention has been disclosed above in terms of preferred embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection defined by the claims of this application.
