Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cranial bone flap fixation technology, specifically to a cranial bone flap fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] Cranioplasty is a common neurosurgical procedure that addresses abnormal cerebral blood supply, insufficient or obstructed cerebrospinal fluid circulation, and brain compression caused by skull defects. It repairs the defect area, compensates for mechanical safety issues of brain tissue, and resolves abnormal problems such as insufficient or obstructed cerebral blood supply and cerebrospinal fluid circulation. It also needs to consider the restoration and reshaping of the original shape. The cranial bone flap fixation device is a medical device used to fix bone flaps after craniotomy. In neurosurgery and other surgeries, it is usually necessary to open the skull to perform necessary surgical operations.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN215503334U (A device for fixing cranial bone flaps) includes a first support frame, suction cups, a loading box, a cover plate, a magnet, a guide rail, a first slider, a placement plate, a first spring, a second support frame, and a disc. The first support frame has four suction cups evenly spaced on it, and a loading box is located on one side of the first support frame. The beneficial effect of this invention is that by pushing the clamps outwards and placing the cranial bone flap between them, the placement plate and the first slider slide downwards, thus facilitating the fixation of the cranial bone flap. This eliminates the need for welding or adhesive bonding to tightly fix the device, providing greater convenience for cranial bone flap fixation.

[0004] However, most existing cranial bone flap fixation methods use compression from different directions, which can easily cause compression damage to the edges of the cranial bone flap and cause friction damage during handling.

The dust cover plate 4 covers the infrared sensor 12 to prevent false sensing and improve protection. The distance between the limiting top plate 3 and the diffuser tube 11 can be adjusted according to different needs. The connecting column 6 is moved upward by the electric push rod 7. Since the connecting column 6 is threadedly connected to the limiting top plate 3 via the single-head fastener 22, This allows the upper limit plate 3 to move upwards. After adjustment, when it is necessary to fix the skull flap, place the skull flap at the lower end of the upper limit plate 3. Move the other hand over the infrared sensor 12 to transmit an electrical signal to the blower 17. The blower 17 blows air upwards. The air blows upwards from the air outlet pipe 10 and the diffuser horn pipe 11. After being diffused by the eight diffuser horn pipes 11, it forms an upward air wall, which applies upward force to the skull flap, making it stick tightly to the lower surface of the rubber protective pad 30 at the lower end of the upper limit plate 3. Compared with using a splint to squeeze and fix the skull flap around, it is less likely to cause squeezing and friction damage between objects, thus improving protection.
