Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to novel medical devices, and more particularly to an integrated single-handed, multi-stage suction and flushing device for field surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Frontline medical care under field surgical conditions is a trend in military medical support development. The time from injury to receiving treatment largely determines the success rate of wounded personnel treatment. According to the traditional military medical support model, field medics are required to perform initial hemostasis on the front lines before transferring the wounded to a field hospital for further treatment.

[0003] However, when there is significant and rapid bleeding from the wound, frontline medics, lacking reliable suction devices and lighting, are unable to perform effective hemostasis immediately. Field hospitals equipped with operating tables, suction devices, surgical lights, and surgical retraction equipment are often located tens to hundreds of kilometers away in the rear, resulting in prolonged time from injury to effective treatment and impacting the success rate of treatment.

[0004] The laparoscopic suction device mouth support structure (ZL201620736850.2) previously filed by Wang Yong of the Air Force Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army can perform tissue traction and exposure simultaneously with suction. Suction can be performed, and the mouth support structure can lift the tissue, aiding in exposure. However, this technology has the following drawbacks:

[0005] The device cannot be used outdoors in the field. In field environments, surgery is sometimes required, but there are no surgical lights or other strict surgical conditions available in the field.

[0006] The effect of pulling or lifting is limited;

[0007] Continuous rinsing and suction cannot be performed; specialized equipment is required, making it difficult to implement.

[0008] In certain specialized surgical procedures, the tissue can only be lifted to a limited height, leaving insufficient operating space.

[0009] It has limited ability to support human body tissues. Summary of the Invention
