[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the fiber ring sealing device 300 of this embodiment includes: a frame 1, a first clamping assembly 21, and a driving assembly.

[0041] It should be noted that the material of the annulus fibrosus blocking device 300 is safe for the human body, such as titanium alloy material. The annulus fibrosus blocking device 300 can be mainly applied to the following two situations: 1. The annulus fibrosus 200 needs to be removed at the position of the notch for direct sealing of the notch. It can be understood that the edge of the annulus fibrosus 200 will protrude with age and other conditions. At this time, the protruding part needs to be removed, and the annulus fibrosus 200 after removal has a notch. The annulus fibrosus blocking device 300 can be used to block the notch. 2. When the nucleus pulposus in the vertebral body is diseased, the annulus fibrosus 200 needs to be cut to remove the diseased nucleus pulposus, and then the cut is sealed by using the annulus fibrosus blocking device 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the annulus fibrosus blocking device 300 can also be used in other situations where the annulus fibrosus 200 needs to be blocked.

[0042] The first clamping assembly 21 comprises a first clamping piece 211 and a second clamping piece 212, one of the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212 is fixed on the frame body 1, and the other of the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212 is movably arranged on the frame body 1. The first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212 can be close to each other to clamp the annulus fibrosus 200, or the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212 can be away from each other to release the annulus fibrosus 200.

[0043] Optionally, the first clamping piece 211 is movable and located in front of the second clamping piece 212, or the first clamping piece 211 is movable and located behind the second clamping piece 212.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first clamping piece 211 is movable and located behind the second clamping piece 212. The first clamping piece 211 moves towards the second clamping piece 212 to clamp the annulus fibrosus 200 by the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212, so as to realize the clamping of the annulus fibrosus 200 by the first clamping assembly 21. The first clamping piece 211 moves away from the second clamping piece 212 to release the annulus fibrosus 200 by the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212, so as to realize the release of the annulus fibrosus 200 by the first clamping assembly 21.

[0045] It should be noted that the movable includes movement and rotation. For example, the first clamping piece 211 is movably arranged on the frame body 1. When the annulus fibrosus 200 needs to be clamped, the first clamping piece 211 is moved towards the second clamping piece 212 to clamp the annulus fibrosus 200 by the first clamping piece 211 and the second clamping piece 212, so as to realize the blocking function of the annulus fibrosus 200.

[0046] The driving assembly is arranged on the frame body 1, and is connected with the other one of the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 212 to drive the other one of the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 212 to move.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the driving assembly is connected with the first clamping member 211, and the driving assembly can drive the first clamping member 211 to rotate or move to clamp or release the fiber ring 200.

[0048] That is, the fiber ring sealing device 300 of the embodiment of the present application can clamp the fiber ring 200 by controlling the driving assembly to drive the first clamping assembly 21, and after the fiber ring sealing device 300 clamps the fiber ring 200, the position of the driving assembly is fixed, which ensures the stability of the clamping of the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 212, and realizes the stable fixation of the fiber ring sealing device 300 at the gap position of the fiber ring 200, thereby avoiding slipping.

[0049] Therefore, the fiber ring sealing device of the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of simple operation and good stability.

[0050] In some embodiments, the fiber ring sealing device 300 further comprises a second clamping assembly 22, and the second clamping assembly 22 and the first clamping assembly 21 are oppositely arranged on the frame body 1 and can clamp the two free ends of the fiber ring 200, respectively. Figure 4 As shown in , the second clamping assembly 22 and the first clamping assembly 21 are arranged on the left and right sides of the frame body 1, and the first clamping assembly 21 is located on the left side of the frame body 1.

[0051] Figure 1 As shown in , the second clamping assembly 22 comprises a third clamping member 221 and a fourth clamping member 222, one of the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 is fixed on the frame body 1, and the other one of the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 is movably arranged on the frame body 1, and the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 can be close to each other to clamp the fiber ring 200 or the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 can be away from each other to release the fiber ring 200.

[0052] Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the third clamping member 221 is movable and is located behind the fourth clamping member 222. The third clamping member 221 moves towards the fourth clamping member 222 to clamp the fiber ring 200 by the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222, so as to clamp the fiber ring 200 by the second clamping assembly 22. The third clamping member 221 moves away from the fourth clamping member 222 to release the fiber ring 200 by the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222, so as to release the fiber ring 200 by the second clamping assembly 22.

[0053] The driving assembly is connected with the other one of the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222, so as to drive the other one of the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 to move.

[0054] Optionally, the other one of the first clamping member 211 and the second clamping member 212 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1 about a first axis, and the other one of the third clamping member 221 and the fourth clamping member 222 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1 about a second axis, and the angle between the extension direction of the first axis and the extension direction of the second axis is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first clamping member 211 is rotatable about the first axis, and the third clamping member 221 is rotatable about the second axis. The driving assembly drives the first clamping member 211 and the third clamping member 221 to rotate, so that the first clamping member 211 rotates towards the second clamping member 212, and the third clamping member 221 rotates towards the fourth clamping member 222, so as to clamp the fiber ring 200, thereby achieving plugging of the fiber ring 200.

[0056] It can be understood that the extension direction of the first axis and the extension direction of the second axis can form an angle greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, that is, the extension direction of the first axis or the extension direction of the second axis can be inclined, or the extension direction of the first axis and the extension direction of the second axis are both inclined.

[0057] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the angle between the extension direction of the first axis and the extension direction of the second axis is equal to 0 degrees, that is, the extension direction of the first axis and the extension direction of the second axis are both consistent with the up-down direction.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive member 31 and a first push plate 32 and a second push plate 33 connected to the drive member 31. The first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 are movably mounted on the frame 1 along the lateral direction of the frame 1. The drive member 31 can drive the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 to move laterally along the frame 1. The first push plate 32 is rotatably connected to a first clamping member 211 or a second clamping member 212 movably connected to the frame 1. Lateral movement of the first push plate 32 can drive the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 212 to rotate. The second push plate 33 is rotatably connected to a third clamping member 221 or a fourth clamping member 222 movably connected to the frame 1. Lateral movement of the second push plate 33 can drive the third clamping member 212 or the fourth clamping member 222 to rotate.

[0059] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 are connected to the driving member 31. That is, both the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 can be fixedly connected to the driving member 31 so that when the driving member 31 moves, it will drive the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 to move respectively. Alternatively, both the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 are in contact with the driving member 31. Then, the lower wall surface of the first push plate 32, the upper wall surface of the second push plate 33, and the peripheral wall surface of the driving member 31 all have a certain roughness so that when the driving member 31 rotates, the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 can move by relying on the friction between the lower wall surface of the first push plate 32, the upper wall surface of the second push plate 33, and the peripheral wall surface of the driving member 31.

[0060] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first clamping member 211 or the second clamping member 212, which is rotatably connected to the frame 1, is provided with a first rotating part 2112, and the first push plate 32 is in the longitudinal direction of the frame 1 (e.g., Figure 1 The first connecting part 321 is rotatably connected to the first rotating part 2112 on one side of the frame 1 in the front-back direction, so as to drive the first rotating part 2112 to rotate around the first axis; the third clamping member 221 or the fourth clamping member 222 rotatably connected to the frame 1 is provided with the second rotating part 2212; the second push plate 33 has a second connecting part 331 rotatably connected to the second rotating part 2212 on one side of the frame 1 in the longitudinal direction, so as to drive the second rotating part 2212 to rotate around the second axis.

[0061] The first clamping member 211 further comprises a first clamping portion 2111, and the first push plate 32 is connected with a first rotating portion 2112, and the connecting position of the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112 is spaced apart from the first axis (i.e., the connecting position of the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112 is eccentrically arranged relative to the first axis), so as to drive the first rotating portion 2112 to rotate around the first axis. The third clamping member 221 further comprises a second clamping portion 2211, and the second push plate 33 is connected with a second rotating portion 2212, and the connecting position of the second push plate 33 and the second rotating portion 2212 is spaced apart from the second axis (i.e., the connecting position of the second push plate 33 and the second rotating portion 2212 is eccentrically arranged relative to the second axis), so as to drive the second rotating portion 2212 to rotate around the second axis.

[0062] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the left end of the first clamping member 211 forms the first clamping portion 2111, and the right end of the first clamping member 211 forms the first rotating portion 2112. The first rotating portion 2112 has a first through hole penetrating through the first rotating portion 2112 along the up-down direction. The extension direction of the first through hole axis is consistent with the up-down direction. The frame body 1 is provided with a first shaft 13 matched with the first through hole. The extension direction of the first through hole axis, the extension direction of the first through hole axis and the extension direction of the first shaft axis coincide, so that the first clamping member 211 can rotate around the first shaft 13.

[0063] It can be understood that the first push plate 32 can be fixedly connected with the first rotating portion 2112. When the first push plate 32 is rotated, the first push plate 32 rotates around the first axis and drives the first clamping member 211 to rotate, and the first clamping member 211 rotates towards the second clamping member 212, so that the first clamping assembly 21 can clamp the fiber ring 200. Alternatively, the first push plate 32 is connected with the first rotating portion 2112 in contact. The part where the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112 are in contact has a certain roughness. When the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112 move relative to each other, the first rotating portion 2112 is driven to rotate by the friction between the part where the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112 are in contact, and the first clamping portion 2111 is driven to rotate. Similarly, the connection mode of the second push plate 33 and the second rotating portion 2212 can be set by referring to the connection mode of the first push plate 32 and the first rotating portion 2112.

[0064] It should be noted that the first shaft 13 and the second shaft 14 can be arranged on the frame body 1 in an interference fit manner to avoid loosening of the first shaft 13 and the second shaft 14 during use.

[0065] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the rear end of the first push plate 32 is a first connecting portion 321, the first rotating portion 2112 is provided with a first gear 2113 with an axis arranged along the up-down direction, the lower end of the first gear 2113 is fixedly connected with the first rotating portion 2112, and the first gear 2113 is rotationally matched with the first shaft 13, and the first connecting portion 321 is provided with a first tooth row 322 engaged with the first gear 2113; the rear end of the second push plate 33 is a second connecting portion 331, the second rotating portion 2212 is provided with a second gear 2213 with an axis arranged along the up-down direction, the upper end of the second gear 2213 is fixedly connected with the second rotating portion 2212, and the second gear 2213 is rotationally matched with the second shaft 14, and the second connecting portion 331 is provided with a second tooth row 332 engaged with the second gear 2213.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figures 1-4 shown, the driving member 31 is rotationally arranged on the frame body 1, the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 are located on the two sides of the driving member 31 in the thickness direction (such as the up-down direction in Figure 1 ) of the frame body 1, and the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 are both connected with the outer circumferential surface of the driving member 31, and the driving member 31 can drive the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 to move in opposite directions along the transverse direction of the frame body 1.

[0067] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first push plate 32 is rotationally connected with the first clamping member 211, and the second push plate 33 is rotationally connected with the third clamping member 221, the driving member 31 is rotated, the driving member 31 drives the first push plate 32 to move to the right, the first push plate 32 drives the first clamping member 211 to rotate, and at the same time, drives the second push plate 33 to move to the left, the second push plate 33 drives the third clamping member 221 to rotate, so as to clamp the fiber ring 200.

[0068] It can be understood that the first push plate 32 is located above the second push plate 33, the lower side wall of the first push plate 32 is provided with a third tooth row 324, the upper side wall of the second push plate 33 is provided with a fourth tooth row 334, the driving member 31 is generally cylindrical, the extension direction of the axis of the driving member 31 is consistent with the front-rear direction, the axis of the driving member 31 coincides with the front-rear direction, and the circumferential wall of the driving member 31 is provided with a gear engaged with the third tooth row 324 and the fourth tooth row 334, so that when the driving member 31 rotates, the gear on the driving member 31 is matched with the third tooth row 324 and the fourth tooth row 334, thereby moving the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33.

[0069] That is, as Figures 1-4As shown, when the driving member 31 is rotated clockwise, the first push plate 32 moves right and the second push plate 33 moves left by the cooperation of the gear on the driving member 31 with the third and fourth tooth rows 324 and 334, and the first clamping member 211 rotates towards the second clamping member 212 by the cooperation of the first tooth row 322 with the first gear 2113, and the third clamping member 221 rotates towards the fourth clamping member 222 by the cooperation of the second tooth row 332 with the second gear 2213, so as to realize that the first clamping assembly 21 clamps one side of the annulus fibrosus 200 at the gap and the second clamping assembly 22 clamps the other side of the annulus fibrosus 200 at the gap. Conversely, when the driving member 31 is rotated counterclockwise, the function of the annulus fibrosus plugging device 300 of the embodiment of the application is realized to release the annulus fibrosus 200.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first push plate 32 and the second push plate 33 each include an extension, and the two extensions are located at the two sides of the driving member 31 in the transverse direction of the frame 1, and each of the two extensions has a sharp end extending in the transverse direction of the frame 1.

[0071] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the extension includes a first extension 323 and a second extension 333, the first extension 323 is arranged at the right end of the first push plate 32, the upper wall surface of the first extension 323 is flush with the upper wall surface of the first push plate 32, and the second extension 333 is arranged at the left end of the second push plate 33, and the upper wall surface of the second extension 333 is flush with the lower wall surface of the second push plate 33. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6

[0072] It can be understood that the right end of the first extension 323 forms a first sharp end, and the left end of the second extension 333 forms a second sharp end, and when the driving member 31 is rotated clockwise, the driving member 31 drives the first push plate 32 to move right, so that the first sharp end extends out of the frame 1 and is inserted into the annulus fibrosus 200, and at the same time, the driving member 31 drives the second push plate 33 to move left, so that the second sharp end extends out of the frame 1 and is inserted into the annulus fibrosus 200, so as to improve the supporting effect of the annulus fibrosus plugging device 300 of the embodiment of the application.

[0073] In some embodiments, the annulus fibrosus plugging device 300 of the embodiment of the application further includes at least two needles, and the at least two needles are movably arranged on the frame 1 in the thickness direction of the frame 1, and each of the two extensions has an inclined surface, and the two inclined surfaces are oppositely arranged and respectively cooperate with at least one needle to drive the needle to extend out of the frame 1 and connect with the endplate of the vertebral body 100.

[0074] Among them, the first extension 323 has a first inclined surface 3231, at least part of the first inclined surface 3231 faces the second push plate 33, and the second extension 333 has a second inclined surface 3331, at least part of the second inclined surface 3331 faces the first push plate 32. ​

[0075] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the top needle includes a first top needle 41 and a second top needle 42, the lower end of the first top needle 41 is a first tail end, the first tail end is in contact with the second inclined surface 3331, and the upper end (i.e. the first needle end) of the first top needle 41 is in the shape of a triangular pointed end, which is convenient for inserting into the end plate of the vertebral body 100; the upper end of the second top needle 42 is a second tail end, the second tail end is in contact with the first inclined surface 3231, and the lower end (i.e. the second needle end) of the second top needle 42 is in the shape of a triangular pointed end, which is convenient for inserting into the end plate of the vertebral body 100.

[0076] It can be understood that when the clockwise driving member 31 drives the second push plate 33 to move to the left, the second inclined surface 3331 moves the first top needle 41, that is, the second push plate 33 moves to the left to drive the second inclined surface 3331 to move to the left, so that the first top needle 41 moves upward, and the second top needle 42 moves downward by the same principle. Therefore, when plugging the gap of the annulus fibrosus 200, the first needle end of the first top needle 41 moving upward can be inserted into the end plate of the adjacent vertebral body 100, and the second needle end of the second top needle 42 moving downward can be inserted into the end plate of the adjacent vertebral body 100. At this time, the first pointed end and the second pointed end are inserted into the annulus fibrosus 200, and the first needle end and the second needle end are inserted into the end plate of the vertebral body 100, thereby further improving the supporting effect of the annulus fibrosus plugging device 300 of the embodiment of the application.

[0077] It should be noted that adjusting the included angle between the first inclined surface 3231 and the upper wall surface of the first protruding portion 323 can change the depth of the second top needle 42 inserted into the end plate of the adjacent vertebral body 100, that is, the greater the included angle between the first inclined surface 3231 and the upper wall surface of the first protruding portion 323, the deeper the depth of the second top needle 42 inserted into the end plate of the adjacent vertebral body 100. By the same principle, the greater the included angle between the second inclined surface 3331 and the lower wall surface of the second protruding portion 333, the deeper the depth of the first top needle 41 inserted into the end plate of the adjacent vertebral body 100.

[0078] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the first protruding portion 323 is further provided with a first notch, the first notch penetrates the first protruding portion 323 in the up-down direction, the first notch is a U-shaped opening, and the opening of the first notch faces the right. The first protruding portion 323 is provided with the first notch to reduce the area of the first pointed end, so that when the first push plate 32 moves to the right, the contact area between the first pointed end and the annulus fibrosus 200 is reduced, and the first pointed end is more easily inserted into the annulus fibrosus 200. By the same principle, the second protruding portion 333 is provided with a second notch, the second notch penetrates the second protruding portion in the up-down direction, the second notch is a U-shaped opening, and the opening of the second notch faces the left, so that when the second push plate 33 moves to the left, the second pointed end is more easily inserted into the annulus fibrosus 200.

[0079] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the left end of the first push plate 32 is provided with a first avoiding opening, which is a U-shaped opening and penetrates the first push plate 32 in the up-down direction. The driving member 31 is rotated clockwise, the first push plate 32 moves to the right, and the first pointed end of the first push plate 32 is inserted into the fiber ring 200, and then part of the first thimble 41 is separated from the first avoiding opening; the driving member 31 is rotated counterclockwise, the first push plate 32 moves to the right by a certain distance, the middle part of the first thimble 41 contacts the inner wall surface of the first avoiding opening, and at the same time, the first avoiding opening can limit the leftward movement of the first push plate 32, which is beneficial to the retraction of the first push plate 32. Similarly, the right end of the second push plate 33 is provided with a second avoiding opening, which is a U-shaped opening and penetrates the second push plate 33 in the up-down direction, which is beneficial to the retraction of the second push plate 33.

[0080] In some embodiments, the driving member 31 comprises an operation part 311, which is arranged at the end of the driving member 31 away from the frame body 1. An annular groove 3111 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the operation part 311 and arranged along the circumferential direction of the operation part 311. The frame body 1 is provided with an anti-back convex 11 matched in the annular groove 3111. The end surface of the operation part 311 away from the frame body 1 is provided with a control groove 3112, which penetrates the operation part 311 along the radial direction of the operation part 311. When the control groove 3112 corresponds to the anti-back convex 11, the driving member 31 is close to or away from the frame body 1 along the longitudinal direction of the frame body 1.

[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the operation part 311 is arranged at the front end of the driving member 31, and the control groove 3112 is a cross-shaped groove, wherein the cross end of the cross-shaped groove penetrates the circumferential wall surface of the operation part 311, so as to facilitate the operator to use a tool matched with the cross-shaped groove to drive the driving member 31 to rotate.

[0082] It can be understood that the anti-back convex 11 is matched in the annular groove 3111 of the operation part 311, which can limit the movement of the driving member 31 in the front-back direction. Therefore, rotating the driving member 31 can improve the stability of the driving member 31 through the cooperation of the anti-back convex 11 and the annular groove 3111.

[0083] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 ,As shown, before clamping the fiber ring 200, the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping assembly 22, the anti-back protrusion 11 is fitted in the annular groove 3111, and the part of the operation portion 311 is placed outside the fiber ring sealing device 300 (i.e. the front part of the operation portion 311 is placed outside the fiber ring sealing device 300). After the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping assembly 22 clamp the fiber ring 200, the operator can press the driving member 31, and the driving member 31 moves backward, and the operation portion 311 can overcome the resistance of the limiting protrusion 11 to move the driving member 31 into the frame 1. At this time, the rear end of the anti-back protrusion 11 abuts against the front end surface of the operation portion 311, preventing the front part of the operation portion 311 from being placed outside the fiber ring sealing device 300, so as to avoid the rotation of the driving member 31 due to accidental touch of the operation portion 311, and further avoid the loosening of the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping assembly 22.

[0084] Alternatively, the anti-back protrusion 11 can be annular, or can be formed by a plurality of arc-shaped segments, and of course, can be in other forms, i.e. can ensure that the anti-back protrusion 11 is fitted in the annular groove 3111, and can ensure that when the driving member 31 moves backward, the operation portion 311 can overcome the resistance of the limiting protrusion 11 to move the driving member 31 into the frame 1.
