[0018] The following is a further detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention. All similar structures and similar variations of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. The commas in the present invention all represent the relationship of and.

[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a shoulder arthroscopic retractor device, comprising a sheath 1, a core tube 2 that can be inserted into the sheath, and a plurality of pull tabs 3;

[0020] The sheath tube 1 is a tube body with upper and lower ends open, and the tube core 2 is a column, and the length of the tube core is greater than the length of the sheath tube, so that after the tube core is inserted into the sheath tube, the upper and lower ends of the tube core can extend out of the upper and lower ends of the sheath tube respectively;

[0021] The pull tab 3 is in the shape of a vertical strip, and the upper and lower ends of the pull tab 3 are bent transversely in the same bending direction, and the bending portion 32 at the lower end of the pull tab is elastic;

[0022] The upper part of the tube wall of the sheath tube 1 is provided with a plurality of vertical guide grooves 11, and each guide groove 11 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sheath tube. When the bent portion 31 at the upper end of the pull tab is inserted into the guide groove 11, the bent portion 32 at the lower end of the pull tab extends out of the lower end of the sheath tube.

[0023] The sheath is sleeved with a push nut 5 and a positioning nut 4 that can move up and down. The push nut and the positioning nut are both matched with the sheath thread, and the push nut 5 is located above the positioning nut 4.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present invention, an elastic cap 7 is further included for covering the upper end of the sheath tube. The cap 7 is provided with a slit for allowing a rod-shaped instrument to pass through, and the slit is closed under normal conditions (i.e., the slit is in a closed state when not under pressure).

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, an annular gasket 6 is mounted on the sheath tube. The gasket 6 is located above the push nut, and the gasket and the sheath tube are movably matched. The inner ring of the gasket 6 is formed with multiple inwardly protruding flanges 61, and each flange 61 of the inner ring of the gasket extends into each guide groove 11 on the sheath tube respectively.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention is suitable for clinical shoulder arthroscopic surgery, and its use is as follows:

[0027] First, seal the upper end of the sheath tube with the tube cap 7, and insert the tube core 2 into the sheath tube 1 through the crack on the tube cap ( Figure 2 The upper and lower ends of the tube core extend out of the upper and lower ends of the sheath tube, and then the sheath tube with the tube core is inserted into the patient's shoulder joint cavity through the surgical incision, and then the positioning nut 4 is turned to move it down close to the patient's skin, and then the tube core is pulled out of the sheath tube and the tube cap 7 is unscrewed;

[0028] Then, each pull tab 3 is inserted into the sheath tube 1, and the bent portion 31 at the upper end of each pull tab is inserted into each guide groove 11. The bent portion 32 at the lower end of the pull tab will elastically deform during the insertion process into the sheath tube 1. When the bent portion 32 at the lower end of the pull tab extends out of the lower end of the sheath tube, it will return to its original shape under the action of elastic force.

[0029] After observing that the bent portion 32 at the lower end of each pull tab is fully extended under the microscope, the positioning nut 4 is screwed down to move it downward until it contacts the patient's skin, thereby achieving the positioning of the sheath. At the same time, when the bent portion 32 at the lower end of the pull tab is fully extended, it can open up the tissues (such as the joint capsule and muscles) in the patient's shoulder joint cavity, thereby ensuring a clear view of the patient's shoulder joint cavity without any obstruction by soft tissue.

[0030] Then, as needed, the push nut 5 is turned to move it upward. After the push nut 5 moves up to against the gasket 6, the gasket 6 can be pushed upward. The inwardly protruding flanges 61 on the gasket 6 also push the bent portions 31 at the upper ends of the pull tabs upward, causing the pull tabs 3 to move upward. The bent portions 32 at the lower ends of the pull tabs also pull the tissue in the patient's shoulder joint cavity, so that the pulled part can maintain a certain tension. Then, the tube cap 7 is screwed on, and the intraoperative operating instruments are passed through the sheath 1 through the crack on the tube cap and into the patient's shoulder joint cavity. Then, the shoulder arthroscopic surgery can be performed.

[0031] The number of pull tabs inserted into the sheath can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the degree of obstruction of the surgical field of view by the tissue in the patient's shoulder joint cavity. The sheath can also be rotated to adjust each pull tab to the required expansion position.
