Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a simulation training instrument for upper eyelid ptosis correction surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Ptosis is an ophthalmological condition characterized by the drooping of one or both eyelids, significantly lower than their normal position. This can lead to problems such as affecting appearance and even obstructing the pupil, thus impacting visual development. Therefore, accurate correction and treatment of ptosis are extremely important.
[0003] In existing technologies, the surgical treatment for ptosis is generally levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortening surgery. This involves medical staff developing a surgical plan based on the patient's eye examination data, determining the specific length of levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortening, and then shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle according to the predetermined value to enhance the lifting force of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and correct the ptosis.
[0004] Currently, existing techniques for shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle rely solely on the surgeon's manual manipulation of scissors to shorten and suture the muscle. This requires a high level of skill and precision from the surgeon, often leading to surgical failure due to inexperience or improper technique. Furthermore, the levator palpebrae superioris muscle varies from patient to patient, with differences in thickness, width, length, and end position, resulting in significant variations in its postoperative use. However, surgeons cannot anticipate these postoperative variations during surgery. The surgical shortening of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle cannot account for changes caused by differences in postoperative usage habits and individual levator palpebrae superioris muscle structure. Consequently, while some patients may experience initial surgical success, problems arise during the postoperative recovery period, leading to surgical failure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a simulation training instrument for upper eyelid ptosis correction surgery, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology does not have a training device that can simultaneously realize upper eyelid ptosis surgery simulation training and personalized simulation of the recovery of the upper eyelid levator muscle after the patient's correction surgery. This leads to the failure of the correction surgery due to lack of operation skills, and the inability to consider the individual differences in the patient's recovery and use when performing the surgery, resulting in abnormal postoperative recovery and surgical failure requiring secondary repair.
[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A simulation training instrument for upper eyelid ptosis correction surgery is characterized by comprising an eye usage data collector and a simulation training table. The top of the simulation training table is provided with a collector placement slot connected to the eye usage data collector via a data transmission interface. An eye frame simulation hole is opened in the middle of the simulation training table. An eyelid simulation piece is rotatably mounted on the outside of the eye frame simulation hole via a rotating motor. The eyelid simulation piece and the eye frame simulation hole are elastically connected by an artificial upper eyelid muscle. A central controller is fixedly mounted on the right side of the simulation training table. The central controller is connected to the collector placement slot and the rotating motor via wiring.
[0008] Furthermore, the eye data collector includes a basic frame, with elastic straps fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the basic frame. Data transmission connectors are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both the left and right sides of the basic frame. A data collector is connected to the bottom of the data transmission connectors via a line. A pupil detector is fixedly installed on the inner side of the basic frame near the nose clip, and an infrared rangefinder is fixedly installed on the inner side of the basic frame away from the nose clip. The pupil detector and the infrared rangefinder are connected to the data collector via a line.
[0009] Furthermore, the elastic fixing band is fixed in place by Velcro.
[0010] Furthermore, a muscle fixation upper beam is fixedly installed at the upper front of the simulated eye socket, and a muscle fixation clip is installed in the middle of the muscle fixation upper beam.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating motor is fixedly mounted on the front of the simulation training platform, and a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor. The eyelid simulation film is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, a muscle clamping clip is fixedly installed in the middle of the eyelid simulation film.
[0013] Furthermore, the artificial upper eyelid muscle is manufactured using 3D printing based on the patient's upper eyelid muscle detection data.
[0014] Furthermore, an artificial fascia tissue is sleeved on the outer side of the artificial muscle of the upper eyelid.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0016] This invention proposes a training device that simultaneously enables simulated training for ptosis surgery and personalized simulation of the recovery of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle after corrective surgery. The device utilizes an eye usage data collector to gather personalized eye data from patients, accurately simulating their actual eye muscle usage. The inclusion of artificial muscles and fascia allows surgeons to practice in a more realistic manner, closely mimicking the patient's eye condition. Furthermore, combining the collected eye data with simulation helps to accurately assess the patient's postoperative recovery. Based on the simulation results, surgical plans can be more accurately formulated and adjusted, improving the feasibility of the surgical plan and the postoperative recovery effect. The simulated muscle training also significantly increases the success rate of the surgery. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figure 1-7As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a simulation training instrument for upper eyelid ptosis correction surgery, including an eye usage data collector and a simulation training table 2. The eye usage data collector includes a basic frame 3, with elastic fixing straps 4 fixedly installed on both sides of the basic frame. Data transmission connectors 5 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both sides of the basic frame. A data collector 6 is connected to the bottom of the data transmission connector via a line. A pupil detector 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the basic frame near the nose clip, and an infrared rangefinder 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the basic frame far from the nose clip. The pupil detector and the infrared rangefinder are connected to the data collector via lines. A collector placement slot 9 for placing the eye usage data collector is provided on the top of the simulation training table. A data transmission interface 10 is provided in the collector placement slot corresponding to the data transmission connector, and the data transmission connector and the data transmission interface cooperate with each other. An eye socket simulation hole 11 is provided in the center of the simulation training platform. An eyelid simulation piece 13 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the eye socket simulation hole via a rotating motor 12. A muscle fixing upper beam 14 is fixedly mounted on the upper front of the eye socket simulation hole. A muscle fixing clip 15 is located in the middle of the muscle fixing upper beam. A muscle clamping clip 16 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the eyelid simulation piece. The eyelid simulation piece and the eye socket simulation hole are elastically connected by an upper eyelid artificial muscle 17, which is to say, the upper eyelid artificial muscle fixing clip is placed between the muscle fixing clip and the muscle clamping clip. The rotating motor is fixedly mounted on the front of the simulation training platform, and a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the rotating motor. The eyelid simulation piece is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A central controller 18 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the simulation training platform.

[0032] In this embodiment, the patient first needs to wear an eye data collector for one day before surgery. With the help of a pupil detector and an infrared rangefinder, the patient's eye usage data is recorded and collected. Then, the eye data collector is placed on a simulation training platform for data transmission. After receiving the corresponding data, the central controller controls the rotating motor for simulation. The simulation training platform uses scanned data of the patient's eye muscles to create a personalized upper eyelid artificial muscle with the same parameters as the patient's eye muscles. The upper eyelid artificial muscle is fixed between a muscle fixation clamp and a muscle clamping clamp. Then, an artificial fascia tissue, modeled after the patient's human body data, is placed on the outside of the upper eyelid artificial muscle. Next, medical personnel perform surgery on this simulated eyelid. After the surgery, the rotating motor is activated to simulate and observe the damage to the simulated structure based on the patient's eye usage parameters. This allows for practice of the surgery and adjustment of the specific surgical procedure based on subsequent usage.
[0033] This embodiment proposes a training device that simultaneously enables simulated training for ptosis surgery and personalized simulation of the recovery of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle after corrective surgery. The device utilizes an eye usage data collector to gather personalized eye usage data from patients, accurately simulating actual eye muscle usage. The inclusion of artificial muscles and fascia allows surgeons to practice in a more realistic manner, closely mimicking the patient's eye condition. Furthermore, combining the collected eye data with simulation helps to accurately assess the patient's postoperative recovery. Based on the simulation results, surgical plans can be more accurately formulated and adjusted, improving the feasibility of the surgical plan and the postoperative recovery effect. The simulated muscle training also significantly increases the success rate of the surgery.
[0034] In this embodiment, the artificial upper eyelid muscle is made by 3D printing based on the patient's upper eyelid muscle detection data, which helps to achieve a better simulation effect.
[0035] In this embodiment, artificial fascia tissue is sleeved on the outer side of the artificial muscle of the upper eyelid, which helps to more completely simulate the real state of surgery.
[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic fixing strap is fixed by Velcro, which facilitates easy wearing.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it.
