[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art. The terms "comprising" and similar expressions used herein mean that the element or object preceding the word covers the element or object listed following the word and its equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects.

[0063] It is worth noting that the term "proximal" in the text refers to the end that is far from the operator and inserted into the patient's body; while the term "distal" refers to the end that is close to the operator and far from the patient's body.

[0064] To address the problems existing in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a meniscus suture device; Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a partial explosion structure according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first locking element in this invention; Figure 3 For the present invention Figure 1 A magnified schematic diagram of structure A in the image; refer to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the meniscus suture device includes a gripping part 1, a hollow needle 2 located at the proximal end of the gripping part 1, a depth limiting tube 3 sleeved on the hollow needle 2 and movably mounted on the gripping part 1, and a locking part 4. The locking part 4 includes a first locking member 41 located on the depth limiting tube 3 and a second locking member 42 located inside the gripping part 1. When the first locking member 41 is disengaged from the second locking member 42, the depth limiting tube 3 can move axially toward or away from the proximal end of the hollow needle 2 to adjust the depth of the depth limiting tube 3. The depth of the depth limiting tube 3 refers to the distance the depth limiting tube 3 is inserted into the gripping part 1, which can be further understood as the distance between the proximal end (i.e., the right end) of the depth limiting tube 3 and the proximal end (i.e., the right end) of the hollow needle 2.

[0065] The depth limiting tube 3 of the present invention can achieve the function of adjustable depth. In this way, during surgery, the depth of the depth limiting tube 3 can be adjusted and controlled, avoiding the cumbersome step of cutting the depth limiting tube 3 and reducing the complexity of the surgery.

[0066] In an embodiment, the number of the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 can be one or two, and when the number of the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 is two, the two first locking members 41 and the second locking members 42 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the hollow needle 2. Preferably, the number of the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 is two, which can achieve more convenient control.

[0067] In use, the first locking member 41 is pinched, and the left end of the first locking member 41 is rotated into the holding part 1 under the pinching force. In the process of rotation, the first locking member 41 is disengaged from the second locking member 42, so as to achieve unlocking, and the depth limiting tube 3 can move relative to the holding part 1. At this time, the depth limiting tube 3 is pushed or pulled to move along the axial direction of the hollow needle 2, so as to move the depth limiting tube 3 out of or into the holding part 1, thereby achieving depth adjustment of the depth limiting tube 3 relative to the holding part 1.

[0068] In an embodiment, the holding part 1 comprises an upper cover plate 101 and a lower cover plate 102 which can be buckled to each other, as shown in Figure 1

[0069] In an embodiment, the first locking member 41 can also be a magnet block, and the second locking member 42 can also be a magnet strip. The magnet block and the magnet strip are magnetically different from each other on the side away from each other, so that under the action of magnetic attraction, the magnet block and the magnet strip are attracted together when they are close to each other, thereby achieving locking of the current position of the depth limiting tube 3. When the magnet block and the magnet strip are disengaged, the depth limiting tube 3 can move on the hollow needle 2 to achieve depth adjustment.

[0070] In an embodiment, the first locking member 41 comprises a fixed tube 411 arranged outside the depth limiting tube 3, a limiting button 412 connected with the fixed tube 411 and movably arranged in a first through hole of the holding part 1, and a first protrusion 413 arranged on the limiting button 412; the second locking member 42 comprises a mounting plate 421 arranged on the holding part 1, and N recesses 422 arranged on the mounting plate 421, N being a positive integer, wherein the N recesses 422 are arranged along a first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the hollow needle 2. When the first protrusion 413 is forced to disengage from the recess 422, the depth limiting tube 3 can be adjusted to move on the hollow needle 2, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 Preferably, N is selected to be more than three, so that the depth adjustment range of the depth limiting tube 3 is wider.

[0071] ​In the embodiment, the first protrusion 413 cooperates with the N recesses 422 to realize the locking and adjustment of the depth-limiting tube 3 relative to the holding part 1, specifically, when the first protrusion 413 is arranged in the recess 422, the depth-limiting tube 3 and the holding part 1 are locked and cannot be adjusted relative to each other; the left end of the limiting button 412 is pinched, the left end of the limiting button 412 moves into the holding part 1, the limiting button 412 rotates clockwise with the first protrusion 413, so that the first protrusion 413 moves out of the recess 422, and the unlocking process is realized, at this time, the depth of the depth-limiting tube 3 can be adjusted,

[0072] Preferably, the limiting button 412 is made of elastic material.

[0073] It is worth noting that the second locking member 42 can also be a rack structure, and the first protrusion 413 can be engaged with the tooth groove between two adjacent teeth.

[0074] Figure 4 The vibration part structure in the application is shown in the schematic view; Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the meniscus suture device further comprises a vibration part 5, wherein the vibration part 5 comprises a supporting plate 51 arranged in the holding part 1, and a first protruding plate 52 arranged on the supporting plate 51, and the first protrusion 413 rubs and slides on the first protruding plate 52 to generate vibration. When the medical staff pinches the limiting button 412, it is difficult to accurately know when the first protrusion 413 completely separates from the recess 422, so it is difficult to accurately determine the starting time of adjusting the depth of the depth-limiting tube 3, thereby reducing the use experience of the device; therefore, the vibration part 5 is arranged in the embodiment, which can accurately determine when the first protrusion 413 completely separates from the recess 422; specifically, in the process of pinching the limiting button 412, the first protrusion 413 rubs and slides on the first protruding plate 52 to generate vibration, through the generation of vibration, tactile vibration feeling can be provided, at the same time, sound can also be generated in the process of vibration, so that information feedback can be obtained through touch and hearing, and more accurate operation time can be provided for medical staff, so that the operation feeling of the device is better in use.

[0075] In one embodiment, the vibration unit 5 further includes a second protruding plate 53 disposed on the support plate 51, wherein a groove 54 is formed between the first protruding plate 52 and the second protruding plate 53 along the first direction (which can be understood as the groove 54 being horizontal). When the first protrusion 413 is dislodged from the groove 422 by force, it will rub against the first protruding plate 52 and enter the groove 54. When the depth of the depth limiting tube 3 is adjusted, the first protruding plate 52 will move along the groove 54. Figure 4 As shown. Because the limiting button 412 is elastic, it will reset itself when the pinching force is lost. Therefore, a large pinching force is required throughout the adjustment of the depth limiting tube 3, which is inconvenient for medical staff to perform other operations. At the same time, during the depth adjustment of the depth limiting tube 3, the direction of the pushing force is different, which will cause the depth limiting tube 3 to deflect relative to the hollow needle 2. This will cause the hollow needle 2 to come into contact with the depth limiting tube 3 during the movement. Since contact will cause wear, it will shorten the service life of the device. To this end, a second convex plate 53 is provided in this embodiment. The second convex plate 53 can play a blocking role. Specifically, after the first protrusion 413 rubs and slides past the first convex plate 52, it can stop moving under the blocking of the second convex plate 53. This can remind medical staff that the limiting button 412 has moved to the correct position, and on the other hand, prevent the movement of the limiting button 412 from exceeding its own elastic deformation and causing damage. Meanwhile, the groove 54 formed between the second protruding plate 53 and the first protruding plate 52 can play a guiding and limiting role. Specifically, by limiting the first protrusion 413 through the groove 54, the depth limiting tube 3 can be restricted to move only in the horizontal direction and will not deflect, thereby avoiding wear caused when the depth limiting tube 3 comes into contact with the hollow needle 2.

[0076] In existing crescent-shaped suture devices, an additional tube, namely a suture bundle tube, needs to be installed inside the depth-limiting tube 3 for storing and restraining excess suture. The depth-limiting tube 3 itself cannot bundle sutures and has no suture-binding function. The installation of this tube increases material production input and assembly difficulty. To solve the above problems, in one embodiment, the hollow needle 2 includes a first outer tube 21 and a first inner tube 22 inserted within the first outer tube 21 with its proximal end extending outside the first outer tube 21; the depth-limiting tube 3 includes a second outer tube 31 and a second inner tube 32 inserted within the second outer tube 31 with its proximal end hidden within the second outer tube 31; wherein, a receiving gap 33 is formed between the inner sidewall of the second inner tube 32 and the outer sidewall of the first outer tube 21, as shown in the figure. Figure 5As shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the cooperation of the depth limiting tube 3 and the hollow needle 2 can realize the function of the wire binding tube, that is, the depth limiting tube 3 itself has the function of the wire binding tube. Specifically, the inner side wall of the second inner tube 32 and the outer side wall of the first outer tube 21 form an accommodating gap 33, and the existence of the accommodating gap 33 can store and constrain the suture, so that the wire binding tube additionally arranged in the depth limiting tube 3 of the existing device is directly omitted, thereby reducing the production cost and the assembly difficulty of the device.

[0077] In the surgical process, it is difficult to determine whether the implant has been released. From the use of the existing products on the market, most people think that the implant has been completely released until it cannot be pushed. However, due to the blockage of human tissues or the unreasonable implant position, a large resistance is generated, causing the implant to be released and the hand to be pushed, and the actual implant has not been completely released. The medical staff believes that the implant has been released, so in this state, the implant has been completely released to perform subsequent surgical treatment, which may have the following risks. On the one hand, due to the incomplete release of the implant, the target site does not have the presence of the implant, resulting in the failure of the surgery, and on the other hand, the incomplete release of the implant will be suspended outside the release device, so that it is easy to hang to the tissue when the release device is retracted, which has certain safety hazards.

[0078] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an embodiment as follows: Figure 6 The cross-sectional structure diagram of another embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 The push pin base is shown in the structure diagram. Figure 8 The internal partial three-dimensional structure diagram of the holding part in the present application is shown in the figure Figures 6 to 8 As shown in the figure, the meniscus suture device further comprises a push pin base 6 movably arranged in the holding part 1, a push pin 7 connected with the push pin base 6 and penetratingly arranged in the hollow needle 2, and a first protruding part 8 and a second protruding part 9, wherein: the first protruding part 8 is arranged on the side wall of the push pin base 6, the second protruding part 9 is arranged on the inner wall of the holding part 1 and is matched with the first protruding part 8, and the push pin base 6 is forced to move the implant in the hollow needle 2 through the push pin 7, so as to rub and slide the first protruding part 8 through the second protruding part 9 to generate vibration.

[0079] In use, the implant is placed into the hollow needle 2, and then the push needle base 6 is pushed to the right, the right movement of the push needle base 6 pushes the implant in the hollow needle 2 out of the hollow needle 2 through the push needle 7; in the process of moving to the right, the push needle base 6 moves to the right with the first protruding part 8, when the first protruding part 8 rubs and slides through the second protruding part 9, the medical staff is prompted that the implant has been completely released out of the hollow needle 2, and the subsequent operation can be safely carried out. In the present application, when the first protruding part 8 rubs and slides through the second protruding part 9, a clear vibration feeling prompt and a crisp "click" sound prompt are generated, so that the tactile prompt and the auditory prompt are combined, the prompt mode from multiple angles of tactile prompt and auditory prompt is realized, and the medical staff can obtain prompt information from multiple channels to accurately judge whether the implant is completely released out of the hollow needle 2, so that the operation process is safe and smooth.

[0080] Preferably, the first protruding part 8 can be arranged on any one side of the push needle base 6 except the left and right two sides.

[0081] It is worth noting that when the meniscus suture device only contains the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9, the device is used to release the implant once, that is, to play the role of injection, for example, the operation of injecting the filler into the bone hole.

[0082] In an embodiment, the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9 can both be protrusions; the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9 are arranged in a staggered manner at one end close to each other, so as to ensure that the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9 can realize the rubbing and sliding process, and ensure that the device can realize the prompting function.

[0083] Preferably, in the direction perpendicular to the large face of the push needle base 6 (in the figure, it can be understood as the front-to-back direction), the cross section of the protrusion can be a semicircular structure or a triangular structure, of course, it is not limited to the semicircular structure and the triangular structure.

[0084] In an embodiment, the meniscus suture device further comprises a third protruding part 10 arranged on the side wall of the push needle base 6, in the unused state, the third protruding part 10, the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the hollow needle 2, as shown in Figure 7

[0085] ​When in use, the first protruding part 8 rubs through the second protruding part 9, forming a first multi-sensing prompt; the third protruding part 10 rubs through the second protruding part 9, forming a second multi-sensing prompt. Therefore, through the combination of the third protruding part 10, the first protruding part 8 and the second protruding part 9, the device can be used for the complete release prompt of two groups of implants, thus making the device more widely applicable, for example, when the device is used to suture a wound, two implants need to be released. Of course, in other examples, the present application can also be provided with a third multi-sensing prompt, or more multi-sensing prompts, to correspond to the complete release prompt of three groups of implants or more implants. The structure of the third protruding part 10 in the present application is consistent with that of the first protruding part 8, which will not be described here.

[0086] Figure 9 The structure diagram of the blocking part in the present application; refer to Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the meniscus suture device further comprises a blocking part 11 arranged on the holding part 1 to control the rubbing sliding process of the third protruding part 10 and the second protruding part 9, wherein the blocking part 11 comprises a pressing plate 111 arranged in the second through hole of the holding part 1, a clamping rod 112 arranged on one side of the pressing plate 111 in the holding part 1, and a blocking plate 113 extending along the radial direction of the hollow needle 2 from the side of the clamping rod 112, wherein the blocking plate 113 is provided with a moving groove 114 for the push needle seat 6 to pass through.

[0087] When the release of two implants is required, the device needs to contain the first protrusion 8, the second protrusion 9 and the third protrusion 10 at the same time.
