Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a vertical uniform speed pressure rod reduction clamp for pedicle screws. Background Technology
[0002] Pedicle screw fixation is a crucial step in spinal surgery. Its primary function is to restore the alignment of the spine and maintain its stability. For patients with spinal instability or spinal fractures, pedicle screw fixation can reduce spinal position and maintain stability. For patients with scoliosis or kyphosis, it can provide correction. In cases of degenerative spinal diseases, it can maintain spinal stability and promote bone fusion post-surgery.
[0003] During the installation of the pedicle screw fixation system, the rod needs to be pressed into the "U"-shaped groove of the pedicle screw, and then the set wire is screwed into the "U"-shaped groove to fix the rod, which is made of materials such as titanium. Currently, the surgical procedure requires a large number of supporting surgical tools, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in achieving uniform downward pressure on the rod. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical uniform speed decompression rod reduction forceps for pedicle screws, which overcomes the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art, integrates surgical tools, improves surgical efficiency, and achieves uniform speed decompression of the rod.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] A pedicle screw vertical uniform speed depressor repositioning clamp includes a screw holder, a depressor sleeve assembly, and a set screw fastening screwdriver assembly, wherein:
[0007] The clamping end of the nail holder is protruding outward, and the clamping end of the nail holder can hold the pedicle screw;
[0008] The pressure bar sleeve assembly includes a threaded sleeve and a sleeve tube. The threaded sleeve is located on one side of the hinge end of the nail holder. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the sleeve tube. The position of the sleeve tube corresponds to the position of the protruding clamp end of the nail holder. The sleeve tube can push the bar on the pedicle screw into the "U"-shaped groove of the pedicle screw.
[0009] The set screw fastening screwdriver assembly includes a set screw screwdriver and a screwdriver limiting block. The screwdriver limiting block is installed on the set screw screwdriver in an adjustable position. During the pressing process, the set screw screwdriver can pass into the sleeve tube and the screwdriver limiting block is locked outside the sleeve tube. When the pressing is completed and the set screw needs to be screwed in the "U" groove of the pedicle screw, the screwdriver limiting block moves and the set screw screwdriver extends out of the sleeve tube to screw the set screw.
[0010] In use, first use a screw holder to clamp both sides of the "U"-shaped screw seat of the pedicle screw. The screw holder does not affect the stability of the threaded sleeve during clamping. Then, rotate the sleeve inside the threaded sleeve to make it move downwards, pushing the rod into the "U"-shaped groove of the pedicle screw. Then, install the set screw in the "U"-shaped groove, adjust the position of the set screw limit block so that the set screw screwdriver can extend out of the sleeve to tighten the set screw, thus achieving stable installation of the rod. This not only integrates and simplifies the tools in the surgical procedure, but also greatly improves the installation efficiency of the rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the clamping forceps are equipped with a locking block at the end, which matches the shape of the hole on the outer wall of the "U"-shaped groove of the pedicle screw to facilitate stable clamping of the pedicle screw.
[0012] Furthermore, the handle of the nail holder is provided with mutually cooperating spring pieces. The spring pieces are divided into two pieces and are respectively installed on the two handles of the nail holder. The ends of the spring pieces are crossed in a "V" shape, which facilitates the nail holder to stably perform clamping or releasing operations.
[0013] Furthermore, on the two handles of the screw-holding forceps, one is hinged with a one-way rack, and the other is provided with a limiting tooth that cooperates with the one-way rack and an adjusting handle that can be rotated to release the engagement between the one-way rack and the limiting tooth. After the surgical operation is completed, by adjusting and opening the one-way rack, the one-way rack rotates along its hinge end and disengages from the limiting tooth, thereby releasing the clamp on the pedicle screw and removing the tool.
[0014] Furthermore, the sleeve includes a pipe section and a pressure rod section. The pipe section is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve. The pressure rod section is located at the end of the pipe section. One of the pressure rod section and the pipe section is provided with an annular limiting groove, and the other is provided with a rotating block that extends into the annular limiting groove. When the pipe section is rotated, the pressure rod section moves up and down, and pushes the rod into the "U"-shaped groove of the pedicle screw at a stable and uniform speed.
[0015] Furthermore, the pressure bar segment is provided with a pressure block for abutting against the bar. Between the pressure bar segment and the clamping end of the nail holder, one of them is provided with a guide rod and the other is provided with a guide groove, so that the pressure bar segment can move up and down smoothly.
[0016] Furthermore, a limiting ring is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve tube. When the sleeve tube is rotated to one end of its threaded section, the limiting ring abuts against the threaded sleeve to limit the maximum displacement of the sleeve tube.
[0017] Furthermore, the screwdriver limiting block includes a limiting block, a button, and a spring, wherein:
[0018] The limiting block is sleeved on the outer wall of the set screwdriver, and the side of the limiting block is provided with an installation groove through which the set screwdriver passes.
[0019] One end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove, and the other end is connected to the button;
[0020] The button has a locking hole, and one end of the button extends out of the mounting slot. When the spring is in its natural state, the locking hole of the button locks the screwdriver. When the button is pressed, the locking hole disengages from the screwdriver, and the screwdriver can move.
[0021] Furthermore, the set screwdriver is provided with a locking groove that mates with the locking hole.
[0022] Furthermore, one end of the set screwdriver is provided with a handle.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the pedicle screw vertical uniform speed pressing rod reduction forceps of the present invention have the following advantages: (1) First, the screw holder clamps the two sides of the "U" shaped screw seat of the pedicle screw. The screw holder clamp does not affect the position stability of the threaded sleeve during the clamping process. Then, the sleeve tube inside the threaded sleeve is rotated to make it go down and push the rod into the "U" shaped groove of the pedicle screw. Then, the set screw is installed in the "U" shaped groove. The position of the set screw limit block is adjusted so that the set screw screwdriver can extend out of the sleeve tube to perform a screw-tightening operation on the set screw, lock the set screw, and realize the stable installation of the rod. This not only integrates and simplifies the tools in the surgical operation process, but also greatly improves the installation efficiency of the rod; (2) When the sleeve tube section rotates, the pressing rod section moves up and down smoothly and pushes the rod into the "U" shaped groove of the pedicle screw at a stable and uniform speed.
