Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical supplies, and in particular relates to a wire guide for meniscus surgery. Background Art

[0002] Injuries to soft tissues, such as ligaments, severely impact human mobility, necessitating surgical repair. During surgery, the injured soft tissue must be precisely sutured, and medical suture thread guides are crucial to the success of the procedure. Most existing products on the market are imported, expensive, and incompatible with the internal structure of the human body. Currently, no domestic companies are developing and manufacturing such products. Suture needles are often used instead of thread guides, but these are complex and tedious to operate, making the procedure difficult.

[0003] The following problems are commonly encountered in orthopedic surgery:

[0004] 1. The existing meniscus wire guide handle is not easy to hold, which may affect the overall operation time.

[0005] 2. The existing meniscus threading device is too complicated to pass the thread, which increases the operation time.

[0006] 3. Most of the existing meniscus thread passers are reusable soft tissue thread passers, which need to be repeatedly disinfected, are not very convenient, and increase the operation time. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] A thread guide for facilitating thread passing in meniscus surgery comprises a clamp rod and a needle rod, and also comprises an active part and a side moving part; the clamp rod and the needle rod are arranged in parallel and can slide freely along their own central axis; the clamp rod and the needle rod are both provided with meshing teeth on the same side, and the tooth profile of the meshing teeth is a straight line;

[0030] The active part includes a tooth portion and a side push portion; the tooth portion is matched with the meshing teeth of the needle rod located at its top; the teeth at the top of the side moving part are matched with the meshing teeth of the clamp rod, and the side push portion of the active part is against one side of the side moving part to push the side moving part to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, the active member, the side moving member, the clamp rod and the needle rod are all located in the same plane.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a shell; two rotating shafts are arranged in the shell; the active member and the side moving member are both located inside the shell, and the active member and the side moving member are both connected to the corresponding rotating shaft bearings.

[0033] Furthermore, a long tube is provided at one end of the shell, and the clamp rod and the needle rod are both located in the long tube, and one end of the clamp rod is pressed against the shell by a spring, and the other end exposed from the long tube is provided with a biting head; the outer end of the needle rod exposed from the long tube is provided with a puncture needle for cooperating with the biting head.

[0034] Furthermore, the occlusal head and the end of the clamp rod are hinged via a hinged rod; the hinged rod is parallel to the rotation axis.

[0035] Furthermore, a slide is provided at the end of the long tube, and the hinged end of the bite head is located in the slide and can slide freely along the slide; when the hinged end of the bite head is located at the end of the slide, the bite head and the puncture needle are close to each other, and when the hinged end of the bite head is located at the initial end of the slide, the bite head and the puncture needle are separated.
