Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a device for stretching soft tissues in the temporomandibular joint. Background Technology

[0002] The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the only bilaterally linked joint in the maxillofacial region, characterized by both stability and mobility. Under the influence of neuromuscular mechanisms, it participates in various major activities such as swallowing, speech, facial expressions, and chewing, and also has a significant impact on facial appearance. The TMS is mainly composed of the glenoid fossa, the condylar process of the mandible, the articular disc, and the surrounding joint capsule and ligaments.

[0003] Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJs) have a high incidence rate, the most common being TMJ dysfunction and mandibular condylar fracture. Statistics show that 25%-50% of the population has or has had TMJ dysfunction, which can occur at any age, but the majority of patients are adolescents starting puberty and young adults aged 20-30. Many middle-aged and elderly patients also require treatment for TMJ osteoarthritis. The mandibular condyle is an anatomically weak point and a common site of injury when the mandible fractures, easily leading to various types of condylar fractures. While the incidence of TMJ ankylosis and TMJ tumors is not as high as the above two conditions, surgery is the primary treatment for both.

[0004] The aforementioned temporomandibular joint disorders often require surgical treatment. Surgery necessitates good exposure of the temporomandibular joint and retraction of the joint space. Due to the unique structure of the temporomandibular joint, its joint space is narrow, and the glenoid fossa is located at the base of the skull, surrounded by major blood vessels and nerves such as the facial nerve, auriculotemporal nerve, masseter nerve, superficial temporal artery, middle meningeal artery, internal maxillary artery, and pterygoid venous plexus. Because the surgery is performed on the maxillofacial region, a small preauricular incision is often used. These factors result in limited surgical space, making it difficult to expose the surgical area, obtain a clear surgical field, and sufficient operating space, thus increasing the difficulty of the surgery.

[0005] Currently, surgical instruments are used in surgery to assist in opening the temporomandibular joint. However, while opening the joint, an assistant is still needed to help pull the soft tissues, expose the surgical field, and protect the surrounding blood vessels and nerves. When performing procedures such as fracture reduction and fixation, an assistant is also needed to assist in reduction and fixation. During surgery, insufficient operating space and lack of coordination between surgeons often affect the progress and effect, and increase surgical trauma. In terms of soft tissue traction, the instruments are not flexible enough and are prone to causing soft tissue damage, which is difficult to deal with later. They cannot achieve better expansion of the planned tissues. Summary of the Invention

[0073] One end of the U-shaped bracket 122 is connected to an inclined support rod 1262, which is supported by an arc-shaped actuating end corresponding to the temporomandibular joint region.

[0074] The extended state of the U-shaped lever 1261 and the inclined support rods 1262 on both ends enables a secure setting for the front jaw tube connection area.

[0075] In this embodiment: the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 2 further includes a longitudinal plate 21, a sliding tooth groove 22, and a lever end 3;

[0076] The longitudinal plate 21 is installed on the side of the arch 11, and the sliding tooth groove 22 is evenly opened on the surface edge of the longitudinal plate 21. The groove area of ​​the sliding tooth groove 22 is engaged with the surface of the designated sliding tooth groove 22. A placement pad 23 is also fastened to the top surface of the sliding tooth groove 22. A circular slot 24 is opened in the middle of the top end of the placement pad 23. A snap-fit ​​shaft 25 is embedded in the middle of the slot of the circular slot 24. The axial downward of the snap-fit ​​shaft 25 is threadedly engaged with the surface of the designated sliding tooth groove 22.

[0077] The use of circular slots 24 and axial adjustment of designated snap-fit ​​shafts 25 are used to promote a close fit with the designated slots of sliding toothed grooves 22.

[0078] In this embodiment: the bottom of the placement pad 23 is provided with a toggle clamp 26;

[0079] The toggle clamp 26 is hinged to the axial outer wall of the snap-fit ​​shaft 25;

[0080] The front end of the placement pad 23 is provided with an adjustment plate 27, and a Z-shaped bracket 28 is installed on the surface of the adjustment plate 27. A liquid extraction conduit 29 for liquid extraction is installed at the front end of the Z-shaped bracket 28, and a spreading lever 291 is provided at the bottom side of the adjustment plate 27.

[0081] The restriction on the Z-shaped support 28 is further extended by the mutual contact between the liquid extraction conduit 29 and the designated spreading tab 291.

[0082] In this embodiment: the rotating end of the lever 291 is hinged to the bottom edge of the corresponding adjusting plate 27;

[0083] An amplification mechanism 5 is also clamped at the middle of the end of the longitudinal plate 21;

[0084] The amplification mechanism 5 also includes a clamping sleeve 51, a clamping groove 52, a drive rod 53, a tightening screw 54, and an adjustment bracket 55;

[0085] The upper end of the clamping sleeve 51 is provided with a drive rod 53. The rotation direction of the rod body of the drive rod 53 is adjustable. The front end of the adjusting bracket 55 is provided with a connecting washer 56. The lower end of the rod body of the drive rod 53 is inserted into the sleeve of the clamping sleeve 51 and is threadedly inserted into the end of the sleeve rod inside the clamping sleeve 51.

[0086] The extension and retraction of the clamping sleeve 51 and the designated adjusting bracket 55 further expands the sleeve on the designated clamping sleeve 51, which can be added at will later.

[0087] In this embodiment: the front end of the adjusting bracket 55 is provided with a connecting unit 57, the front end of the connecting unit 57 is provided with a square pad 58, the front end of the square pad 58 is provided with a rhombus plate 59, the middle of the rhombus plate 59 is provided with a circular hole 591, and an observation lens 592 is fitted onto the surface of the hole of the circular hole 591. The magnifying end of the observation lens 592 corresponds to the surgical wound below.

[0088] The diamond-shaped plate 59 and the circular hole 591 are used for the adaptive mounting of the observation lens, which is magnified by the lens of the observation lens to enable observation of the wound.

[0089] In this embodiment: the front end of the square pad 58 is also hinged to a searchlight mechanism 6. The searchlight mechanism 6 includes an arc-shaped bracket 61 located at the middle of the top of the connecting unit 57.

A connecting base 212 is provided at the top center of the angle adjuster 211, and the bottom end of the connecting base 212 is threadedly installed with the top end of the longitudinal plate 21.

[0093] The connecting base 212 and longitudinal plate 21 are used to support the specific telescopic cylinder 551 and extend the designated adjustment end. Example 2

[0094] To expand the clinical application of this retractor and to explore variations in mandibular bone tautness, please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 9 Figure 10As shown:

[0095] The middle part of the support rod 41 is provided with a knob opening that has a limiting function, and a detachable and replaceable hook structure 7 is also installed. The hook structure 7 includes a small curved grip rod 71 located at the knob opening for the doctor to hold, and the middle part of the grip rod 71 is provided with a hook rod 72 through a cross-shaped buckle. The front end of the hook rod 72 can be one of three hook heads 73.

[0096] The hook heads 73 have different shapes, namely: a first hook 731 for hooking the ear groove incision of the cutting blade, a second hook 732 with clamping function, and a third hook 733 for expanding the clamping strength of the hook;

[0097] The first hook 731, the second hook 732 and the third hook 733 are fixed together by a metal tubular structure at the end. The inner diameter of the end structure of the first hook 731, the second hook 732 and the third hook 733 is larger than the area where the Kirschner wire needs to be fastened.

[0098] Insert a Kirschner wire at one position at the top and one at the bottom, and then use this end to fit and fix it;

[0099] The first one has two directions: positive and negative.

[0100] The second one is deeper and narrower, and it's in the opposite direction.

[0101] In practical use, the first step is to adjust the knob on the angle adjuster 211, and loosen the longitudinal plate 21 based on this.

[0102] After loosening, adjust the rotation of both the longitudinal plate 21 and the abutment structure 12 to the appropriate position and stop.

[0103] At this stage, the position is placed according to the patient's temporomandibular joint position during the operation. After placement, the position of the open wound of the temporomandibular joint that needs to be opened during the operation needs to be adjusted. The sliding position is achieved by the upper sliding rod 123 in the abutment structure 12, and the flipping is achieved by the forward and backward sliding state of the sliding rod 123.

[0104] During use, the user can slide back and forth around the designated sliding rod 123 according to the position area on the clamping buckle 124. When sliding in the back and forth position, the sliding finger adjusts one end of the designated clamping buckle 124 to restrict the position around the designated lower rod 126. During the restriction stage, the user can restrict the bearing rod 41 to be pulled and locked after it is extended to the position of the patient's soft tissue traction and dragging by the downward movement of the hole position of the middle limiting hole 125.

[0105] The extended front support joint 42 contacts the patient's soft tissue area. At this time, under the traction of the arc-shaped support joint 42, the extension length and angle of the rod are adjusted backward. Various support joints 42 support the opening position like grippers. After the opening is expanded to the corresponding opening position, the user adjusts the hole position of the limiting opening 125 to further restrict the linkage rolling on the corresponding lower rod 126 position. During the rolling of the lower rod 126, the end of another additional inclined support rod 1262 can be adjusted. The advantage of doing this is that the slotted structure of the submandibular surgical opening area can have enough load-bearing ends to expand.

[0106] At the same time, this allows for even faster traction around the wound. At this stage, the specific arc-shaped sleeve 129 is moved to rotate the edge of the designated lower rod 126 against the patient's wound site to further fix it and then achieve traction.

[0107] The square pad slides along the designated longitudinal plate 21. During this process, the position of the arc sleeve 129 is used to adjust the corresponding clamping sleeve 51 to adapt the position of its clamping groove 52 to the corresponding sliding structure. As the drive rod 53 extends and retracts, the position of the lower end cap structure is further adjusted to be close to the longitudinal plate 21 for adaptation.

[0108] The user can further adjust the forward extension state of the two independent telescopic cylinders 551. After extension, the end position of the drive rod 53 is adjusted to achieve hinged extension. The designated adjustment bracket 55 is flipped to achieve hinged adjustment. During the adjustment process, the plate position of the diamond plate 59 in the middle is expanded. During the expansion, the position of the observation lens 592 is adjusted. Based on the lens and the corresponding patient injury, magnification is achieved, and the condition of the specific wound can be clearly seen.

[0109] Furthermore, by combining the positions of the arc-shaped bracket 61 and the corresponding U-shaped toggle piece 62, the ambient light is further enhanced after the searchlight 63 is turned on.

[0110] Furthermore, the limiting is achieved based on the adjustment state of the adjustment plate 27 and the position of the spread lever 291;

[0111] If there is bruising in the area where the patient's wound is opened, the fluid extraction catheter 29 can be connected to an external extraction pump to remove the accumulated fluid, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent suturing. Example 3
