Description

Technical Field

[0002] UV-riboflavin cross-linking technology is a method that creates covalent bonds within and between collagen molecules to increase the tension and stability of collagen fibers. Current studies have shown that this method can enhance the biomechanical strength of corneal and scleral tissues, and is expected to become a new therapy for preventing and controlling the development of myopia.

[0003] In the prior art, a separate ultraviolet irradiation device and an operator manually dripping riboflavin solution are used to operate the ultraviolet-riboflavin cross-linking technology.

[0004] When the above-mentioned method is used for scleral cross-linking, in order to achieve an effective cross-linking range, the conjunctival sac needs to be cut open on a large scale, the periorbital tissue needs to be separated, and the extraocular muscles need to be pulled to expose the scleral tissue at the cross-linking site. The surgical wound is large, time-consuming, and the patient feels obvious pain during the pulling of the extraocular muscles. Most of them need to be performed under general anesthesia. At the same time, the existing equipment cannot realize real-time monitoring of ultraviolet irradiation intensity during surgery, and thus cannot flexibly adjust the intensity and range of ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, there are certain requirements for the accuracy of the intraoperative dripping method of riboflavin solution. The individual differences of manual dripping of riboflavin perfusion are large, and it is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0049] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1-6 As shown in , according to the first aspect of the present invention, the foldable scleral cross-linking device 1 of the present invention comprises: a foldable device body made of a first flexible material and a foldable light-guiding layer 13 made of a second flexible material. The device body is used to cover the eye treatment site, and the surface of the device body used to contact the eye treatment site is configured as a treatment area 111; the light-guiding layer 13 is arranged in the device body to irradiate the eye treatment site with therapeutic light through the treatment area 111; a treatment cavity 14 is arranged in the device body, and the treatment cavity 14 is arranged between the light-guiding layer 13 and the treatment area 111, and a treatment hole 112 connected to the treatment cavity 14 is arranged on the treatment area 111, and the treatment cavity 14 is connected to the perfusion device 2, so that the treatment solution is dripped into the eye treatment site through the treatment hole 112.

[0051] Wherein, the above-mentioned eye treatment site is the eye cross-linking treatment site, the treatment solution is riboflavin solution, and the treatment light is ultraviolet light.

[0052] The foldable sclera cross-linking device 1 and the sclera cross-linking equipment of the present invention have the advantages of small incision, accurate positioning, flexible operation, and precise quantification, and can achieve accurate positioning and perform minimally invasive and precise sclera cross-linking operations.

[0053] The device body and the light guide layer 13 of the sclera cross-linking device 1 of the present invention are respectively made of corresponding flexible materials, so that the sclera cross-linking device 1 can be folded, for example, along the Figure 2 Fold as shown in the dashed line.

[0054] During cross-linking treatment, after the sclera cross-linking device 1 is folded, it can enter from a smaller surgical incision, and after reaching the eye treatment area 111, it can be unfolded and cover the eye treatment area 111, which can play a role in fixing and supporting the periocular tissue to assist in exposing the eye treatment area 111, and can ensure the fixation of the treatment position, so there is no need to cut the conjunctival sac on a large scale to separate the periorbital tissue and pull the extraocular muscles to expose the sclera tissue at the cross-linking site, which can reduce the size of the surgical incision to a certain extent and reduce intraoperative damage, and is conducive to reducing the length of the operation. At the same time, by providing the light guide layer 13, the treatment cavity 14 and the treatment hole 112, the riboflavin solution can be automatically dripped during the irradiation treatment, reducing manual operations, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the cross-linking.

[0055] It should be noted that the device body (at least the treatment area 111 thereof) of the sclera cross-linking device 1 is made of a transparent material so that the treatment light emitted by the light-guiding layer 13 can penetrate the treatment area 111 and irradiate the eye treatment site.

[0056] Preferably, the treatment area 111 is set to a partial sphere smaller than a hemisphere to adapt to the shape of the eyeball, thereby facilitating the reduction of the size of the device body so that it can reach the eye treatment site through a small incision.

[0057] Specifically, the first flexible material is silicone, hydrogel or acrylic; and / or the second flexible material is a flexible light-guiding material.

[0058] In other words, the device body is made of a flexible material with good support, such as silicone, hydrogel, acrylic and the like, so that the device body can be folded and inserted into the surgical incision and then unfolded after reaching the eye treatment site. It can also better fix and support the periocular tissue to assist in exposing the eye treatment area 111, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the surgical incision.

[0059] The light guide layer 13 is made of a flexible light guide material, such as a flexible LED light guide material, and is used to irradiate the treatment light to the eye treatment site. The light guide layer 13 made of the flexible light guide material can be folded, for example, along the Figure 3 Fold the dashed line in the .

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 1-2 As shown in , the device body includes a main body 11 and a pushing part 12 connected to each other. The light guide layer 13 and the treatment cavity 14 are arranged in the main body 11, the treatment area 111 is arranged on the bottom surface of the main body 11, and the top surface of the pushing part 12 is provided with a scale line 121 for at least the pushing depth of the main body 11.

[0061] In other words, in this embodiment, the main body 11 is used to separate the fascia tissue around the eyeball, and plays a role of fixing, supporting and positioning to assist in exposing the eye treatment area. The pushing part 12 is provided to facilitate the pushing of the main body 11, and the operator can use the scale on the top surface to assist in judging whether the main body 11 has reached the eye treatment area 111.

[0062] Specifically, the pushing portion 12 is in an elongated strip shape, and the width of the pushing portion 12 is smaller than the width of the main body 11 .

[0063] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the top surface and the edges of the main body 11 are provided with a light-shielding coating 113. The light-shielding coating 113 is used to block and absorb light irradiated outside the eye treatment site, thereby preventing light leakage during the treatment process, protecting the operator from light radiation, making the treatment process safer and more controllable, and reducing the possibility of injury to the operator.

[0064] In another embodiment, the non-working surface and surrounding edges of the light-guiding layer 13 are provided with a light-shielding coating 113 , thereby also being able to prevent light leakage during the treatment process.

[0065] It should be noted that the side surface of the light guide layer 13 opposite to the treatment area 111 is set as its working surface, and the other side surface is its non-working surface.

[0066] Preferably, an irradiance monitoring point 131 is provided on the light guide layer 13, and the irradiance monitoring point is used to monitor the irradiance intensity of the treatment light. By setting the irradiance monitoring point, fixed-point ultraviolet light irradiance sensing monitoring can be performed on different sites of the eye treatment area, so that the irradiance intensity of the treatment light can be adjusted according to the monitored irradiance intensity data. Furthermore, the monitored irradiance intensity data is fed back to the control device 4 in real time, so that precise quantitative control can be achieved.

[0067] Specifically, a plurality of evenly arranged irradiance monitoring points 131 are provided on the light guide layer 13. Figure 3As shown in the figure, an irradiance monitoring point 131 is arranged at the center of the light guide layer 13 , and four irradiance monitoring points 131 are evenly arranged at the outer peripheral edge of the light guide layer 13 .

[0068] In one embodiment, the treatment cavity 14 is also connected to the oxygen supply device 3 to deliver oxygen to the eye treatment site through the treatment hole 112.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 1-2 As shown in FIG, the oxygen supply device 3 is connected to the treatment cavity 14 through an oxygen supply conduit 16. Further, the oxygen supply conduit 16 is arranged on one side of the pushing portion 12 of the device body.

[0070] In addition, the perfusion device 2 is connected to the treatment cavity 14 through the perfusion catheter 15.

The visualization device is used to guide and monitor the exposure of the eye treatment site, and guide the treatment area 111 of the foldable sclera cross-linking device 1 to cover the eye treatment site.

[0073] The light source device is described in detail below.

[0074] The light source device is used to generate a variety of therapeutic light rays, and is connected to the light guide layer 13 via light guide fibers to transmit the therapeutic light rays to the light guide layer 13 .

[0075] The optical fiber is connected to the non-working surface of the optical layer 13. Preferably, the optical fiber passes from the pushing portion 12 into the portion of the main body 11 located above the optical layer 13 to connect to the non-working surface of the optical layer 13, making the wiring simple.

[0076] Specifically, the housing of the light source device is provided with a first display screen for displaying ultraviolet light output parameters and the operating status of the light source device, a power control button for switching and controlling the output power of the light source, and an ultraviolet light output component for outputting therapeutic ultraviolet light.

In addition, the light source can also have an illumination function, an indication function or a measurement function.

[0084] The visualization device includes: an endoscope probe, a light guide fiber and a display. The endoscope probe is used to capture and collect images of the treatment site; the light guide fiber is used to transmit image signals; and the display is used to display real-time images of the treatment site.

[0085] The visualization device in the present invention may be an independently arranged device, or its endoscope probe may be arranged on the sclera cross-linking device 1 .

[0089] The regulating element is arranged in the housing of the perfusion device 2, and the regulating element is connected to the injection head of the syringe 21 to adjust the injection speed, dosage and frequency of the injection head.

[0090] The housing of the perfusion device 2 is also provided with a second display screen 22 for displaying perfusion parameters and the operating status of the perfusion device 2 , and buttons for setting perfusion parameters and / or controlling the operating status of the perfusion device 2 .

[0091] It should be noted that the sclera cross-linking device of the present invention further includes: a control device 4 and a power supply device.

[0092] The control device 4 is electrically connected to the sclera cross-linking device 1 (irradiance monitoring point 131 on the light guide layer 13), the perfusion device 2, the light source device and the oxygen supply device 3 through wires. The power supply device is electrically connected to the control device 4, the sclera cross-linking device, the perfusion device 2, the light source device and the oxygen supply device 3 to supply power to them.

[0093] Specifically, Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the housing of the control device 4 is provided with a third display screen 41 for displaying the data parameters and operating status of the device controlled by it, a working operation switch 42 for starting and terminating the scleral cross-linking device 1, a perfusion control button 43 for controlling the perfusion speed of the riboflavin solution, a power control button 44 for controlling the output power of the light source, an oxygen control button 45 for controlling the oxygen delivery rate, and a control switch 46 for starting and terminating the control device 4.

[0095] The following specifically describes the method for scleral cross-linking treatment using the scleral cross-linking device of the present invention.

[0096] In the present invention, the method for performing scleral cross-linking using the above-mentioned scleral cross-linking device comprises the following steps:

[0097] Step 1: Under the guidance and monitoring of the visualization device, the conjunctival sac is cut to separate the periorbital tissue and the extraocular muscles are retracted to form a surgical incision to expose the eye treatment area.

[0098] Step 2: After the scleral cross-linking device 1 is folded, it is inserted into the surgical incision and then unfolded. Then, under the guidance and monitoring of the visualization device, the treatment area 111 of the scleral cross-linking device 1 is covered on the eye treatment site.

[0099] Step 3: The treatment solution is input into the treatment cavity 14 (of the sclera cross-linking device 1) for a first preset time through the perfusion device 2 to infiltrate the eye treatment site.

[0100] Step 4: The therapeutic light is irradiated onto the eye treatment site through the treatment area 111 through the light-guiding layer 13 (of the sclera cross-linking device 1), and the therapeutic solution is input into the treatment cavity 14 through the perfusion device 2 to perform cross-linking treatment on the eye treatment site until the second preset time is reached.

[0101] Specifically, in step 1, the operator cuts the periocular tissue under the guidance of the real-time image of the visualization device to accurately expose the eye treatment site, which reduces the surgical incision and helps shorten the operation time.

[0102] In step 2, the real-time image of the visualization device is used to guide the accurate positioning of the sclera cross-linking device 1, thereby making the treatment process more accurate.

[0103] Step 3 is a photosensitizer infiltration step of the eye treatment area 111. Step 4 is a cross-linking treatment step.

[0104] Step 4 also includes: introducing oxygen into the treatment cavity 14 through the oxygen supply device 3. During the cross-linking treatment, the problem of insufficient oxygen content in the relatively closed space of the small incision is solved by delivering oxygen, thereby improving the feasibility of the cross-linking operation.

[0105] The present invention has the advantages of small incision, accurate positioning, flexible operation, and precise quantification.
