Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, and in particular to a retractor used in thyroid surgery. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the number of thyroid surgical operations is large, and each operation generally requires three people. The chief surgeon and the first assistant are mainly responsible for the surgical separation and cutting process, and the second assistant is responsible for the retraction of the skin and internal tissues to fully expose the surgical field of view and facilitate the smooth progress of the operation.

[0003] After a lot of searching, it was found that with the increase in the number of surgeries, the surgical staff were stretched to their limits. For some thyroid surgeries, there was only the main surgeon and the first assistant, but no second assistant. At this time, the surgical exposure was insufficient, which affected the progress of the operation, increased the operation time, and caused harm to the patient. Now there is a disposable incision protector that has the function of pulling the skin, but not the function of pulling deep tissues, and a protector costs several hundred yuan, which brings a financial burden to the patient.

[0028] A method for using a retractor used in thyroid surgery, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0029] S1: Check the equipment

[0030] Check whether all parts in the device can operate normally to avoid jamming;

[0031] S2: Preoperative preparation

[0032] S201: Equipment disinfection

[0033] Carry out comprehensive disinfection of equipment;

[0034] S202: Patient Preparation

[0035] Let the patient lie flat on the operating table, and give him an injection of anesthetic and disinfect the surgical site;

[0036] S3: Place the device

[0037] First, the area where the patient needs surgery is cut open, and then the support foot is placed at the surgical incision on the neck, and the support foot is used as a support. Since the support foot is set to a plastic material, it will be deformed by pressure when pressed down;

[0038] S4: Stable device

[0039] The expansion block is inserted into the surgical opening and pulled outward. When the expansion block is pulled outward, the round block is driven to rotate on the outer wall of the circular ring. When the round block rotates, the inclined surface of the extrusion block is moved upward by pressure due to its triangular configuration, driving the T block to move upward and compressing the spring, so that the extrusion block slides out of the limiting groove. When the extrusion block contacts another limiting groove, the reverse force of the spring resets the extrusion block, so that the extrusion block is again stuck in the limiting groove, thereby achieving the purpose of one-way limiting and increasing stability during later surgery.

[0040] S5: Open the surgical incision

[0041] The L-shaped rod is rotated to extend into the surgical incision, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the surgical incision, facilitating the subsequent surgical work of the doctor, and the rubber sleeve increases the stability of the L-shaped rod when rotating;

[0042] S6: Position adjustment

[0043] When the position of the L-shaped rod needs to be adjusted, the two-way threaded rod is rotated. When the two-way threaded rod is rotated, the telescopic rod is respectively hinged with the nut and the support ring. When the two-way threaded rod is rotated, the nut will only perform lateral relative movement. The nut is moved by rotating the two-way threaded rod to synchronously adjust the position of the L-shaped rod. When unidirectional adjustment is required, the bolt is rotated to rotate it outward and release the rubber pad from being squeezed against the outer wall of the rectangular shell. At this time, the moving rod can be slid to adjust the position of the L-shaped rod. When the position adjustment is completed, the bolt is rotated in the opposite direction to make the rubber pad squeeze the outer wall of the rectangular shell, thereby increasing friction and achieving simple fixation, and then the operation can be continued.

[0044] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] 1. In the present invention, the support assembly is set so that the expansion block can achieve one-way limiting, which makes it more convenient for doctors to work. The size of the surgical incision can be adjusted according to actual conditions without manual fixation. In addition, the stability of the device during operation is further increased by fixing the support feet.

[0046] 2. In the present invention, the surgical incision can be stretched open by the provided L-shaped rod to achieve full exposure, and the position of the L-shaped rod can be adjusted by rotating the bidirectional threaded rod to achieve timely adjustment of the size of the surgical incision. In addition, the position of the L-rod can be adjusted individually by rotating the bolt to release the squeezing of the rubber pad on the rectangular shell, thereby expanding the application scope of the device and further improving the convenience of the doctor during the operation.

[0047] 3. In the present invention, the structure is simple and practical, and the cost is low. It can be used in large-scale production and has a large market prospect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0064] The present invention provides a method for using a retractor used in thyroid surgery, comprising the following steps:

[0065] S1: Check the equipment

[0066] Check whether all parts in the device can operate normally to avoid jamming;

[0067] S2: Preoperative preparation

[0068] S201: Equipment disinfection

[0069] Carry out comprehensive disinfection of equipment;

[0070] S202: Patient Preparation

[0071] Let the patient lie flat on the operating table, and give him an injection of anesthetic and disinfect the surgical site;

[0072] S3: Place the device

[0073] First, the position where the patient needs surgery is cut open, and then the support foot 3 is placed at the surgical incision on the neck, and the support foot 3 is used as a support. Since the support foot 3 is set to be a plastic material, it will be deformed by pressure when pressed downward;

[0074] S4: Stable device

[0075] Insert the expansion block 23 into the surgical incision and pull it outward. When the expansion block 23 is pulled outward, the round block 25 will be driven to rotate on the outer wall of the ring 22. When the round block 25 rotates, the extrusion block 24 is set in a triangular shape, and its inclined surface will be pressed upward to drive the T block 27 to move upward and compress the spring 26, so that the extrusion block 24 slides out of the limiting groove 21. When the extrusion block 24 contacts another limiting groove 21, it will be reset by the reverse force of the spring 26, so that the extrusion block 24 is again stuck in the limiting groove 21, thereby achieving the purpose of one-way limiting and increasing the stability during the later surgery.

[0076] S5: Open the surgical incision

[0077] The L-shaped rod 51 is rotated to extend into the surgical incision, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the surgical incision, facilitating the subsequent surgical work of the doctor, and the rubber sleeve 52 increases the stability of the L-shaped rod 51 during rotation;

[0078] S6: Position adjustment

[0079] When the height of the L-shaped rod 51 needs to be adjusted, the position of the adjusting bolt on the adjusting block 6 can be used. When the position of the L-shaped rod 51 needs to be adjusted, the bidirectional threaded rod 43 is rotated. When the bidirectional threaded rod 43 is rotated, the telescopic rod 44 is respectively hinged with the nut 45 and the support ring 1. When the bidirectional threaded rod 43 is rotated, the nut 45 will only perform a lateral relative movement. The nut 45 is moved by rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 43 to synchronously adjust the position of the L-shaped rod 51. When unidirectional adjustment is required, the bolt 53 is rotated to rotate it outward and the rubber pad 54 is released from the extrusion with the outer wall of the rectangular shell 55. At this time, the sliding moving rod 56 can be used to adjust the position of the L-shaped rod 51. When the position adjustment is completed, the bolt 53 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the rubber pad 54 squeeze the outer wall of the rectangular shell 55, thereby increasing the friction force and achieving simple fixation, and then the operation can be continued.

[0080] S7: Postoperative cleaning and maintenance

[0081] S701: Postoperative disassembly

[0082] After the operation is completed, first release the fixing of the bolt 53 to ensure that the expansion assembly 5 can move freely, then gently withdraw the L-shaped rod 51 from the surgical incision, and then pull the T block 27 upward to make the squeezing block 24 slide out of the limiting groove 21 to release the limit. At this time, the round block 25 can be rotated in the opposite direction to reset the expansion block 23, and the expansion block 23 can be gently moved away from the edge of the surgical incision, allowing the support ring 1 and all its attached components to be removed from the patient as a whole;
