Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a stapler. Background Art

[0002] At present, meniscus suturing is the most commonly used surgical method for treating meniscus injuries. During the operation, the doctor needs to hold the handle of the stapler and apply external pressure to the stapler to implant the built-in fixator in the stapler into the tearing site.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a stapler, which includes a handle 100 , a puncture tube 200 , a hollow push rod 300 , an internal push rod 400 , a first pushing mechanism 500 and a second pushing mechanism 600 .

[0063] Specifically, the handle 100 includes a receiving cavity 101; the puncture tube 200 is disposed at the distal end of the handle 100 and is connected to the receiving cavity 101, and the distal end of the puncture tube 200 can accommodate multiple implants (not shown); the hollow push rod 300 is inserted into the puncture tube 200, and the proximal end of the hollow push rod 300 extends into the receiving cavity 101; the internal push rod 400 is inserted into the hollow push rod 300, and the proximal end of the internal push rod 400 extends out of the proximal end of the hollow push rod 300, the distal end of the internal push rod 400 can extend out of the distal end of the hollow push rod 300, and the distal end of the internal push rod 400 is provided with a barb 410. It can be understood that the multiple implants are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the puncture tube 200.

[0064] Specifically, the first pushing mechanism 500 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101 and is connected to the proximal end of the internal push rod 400. The first pushing mechanism 500 moves axially relative to the handle 100 and has a proximal position and a distal position; the second pushing mechanism 600 includes a limit member 610 and a first guide column 620. The limit member 610 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 101. The first guide column 620 is fixedly connected to the proximal end of the hollow push rod 300. The first guide column 620 is provided with a plurality of limit portions 621 side by side along the axial direction.

[0065] Specifically, at the proximal position, a limiting fit is formed between the first pushing mechanism 500 and one of the limiting portions 621 to block the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end in the axial direction; the limiting portion 621 adjacent to the proximal side of the limiting portion 621 that forms a limiting fit with the first pushing mechanism 500 forms a limiting fit with the limiting member 610 to block the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end in the axial direction;

[0066] Specifically, at the distal position, a limiting fit is formed between the first pushing mechanism 500 and one of the limiting portions 621, which axially blocks the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end; an adjacent limiting portion 621 spaced apart from one on the proximal side of the limiting portion 621 that forms a limited fit with the first pushing mechanism 500 forms a limiting fit with the limiting member 610, which axially blocks the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end, or the first guide column 620 disengages from the limiting member 610.

[0067] It is understandable that each time the first pushing mechanism 500 reciprocates between the proximal position and the distal position, the first guide post 620 moves toward the distal end by a distance of the limiting portion 621 .

[0068] It can be understood that the distal end refers to the end that faces or extends into the patient's tissue to be sutured during surgery, and the proximal end refers to the end opposite to the distal end along the axial direction of the stapler.

[0069] It can be understood that when the proximal limiting portion 621 and the limiting member 610 form a limiting fit that axially blocks the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end, the first pushing mechanism 500 is driven to transfer from the proximal position to the distal position, and the first guide column 620 disengages from the limiting member 610; when the first pushing mechanism 500 is driven to transfer from the distal position to the proximal position, the proximal limiting portion 621 again forms a limiting fit with the limiting member 610 that axially blocks the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end.

[0070] When multiple rigid implants are sequentially loaded into the distal end of the puncture tube 200, the first pushing mechanism 500 is driven to transfer from the proximal position to the distal position, and the hollow push rod 300 can be driven by the first guide column 620 to move toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621. The hollow push rod 300 pushes the rigid implant located at the proximal end, and the rigid implant located at the distal end is pushed out of the puncture tube 200 through the mutual resistance between the rigid implants. Under the limiting cooperation of the adjacent limiting portion 621 spaced one from the proximal side of the limiting portion 621 that forms a limiting cooperation with the first pushing mechanism 500 and the limiting member 610, when the first pushing mechanism 500 is transferred from the distal position to the proximal position, the first guide column 620 remains stationary relative to the limiting member 610, and the first pushing mechanism 500 moves toward the proximal end by a distance of a limiting portion 621 and forms a limiting cooperation with the corresponding limiting portion 621 at this time. At this time, the rigid implant located at the distal end is suitable for the hollow push rod 300 to push out the puncture tube 200. Repeatedly driving the first pushing mechanism 500 to reciprocate between the proximal position and the distal position can push all the rigid implants out of the puncture tube 200 in turn, thereby realizing the implantation of multiple rigid implants.

[0071] When multiple flexible implants are sequentially loaded into the distal end of the puncture tube 200, the distal end of the internal push rod 400 extends out of the distal end of the hollow push rod 300 and penetrates all the flexible implants, and the barbs 410 are located in the flexible implants at the distal end. The first pushing mechanism 500 is driven to transfer from the proximal position to the distal position, and the internal push rod 400 moves toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621, and the barbs 410 of the internal push rod 400 push the flexible implants at the distal end out of the puncture tube 200; and the first pushing mechanism 500 drives the hollow push rod 300 to move toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621 through the first guide column 620, and the hollow push rod 300 pushes the flexible implants at the proximal end, and through the mutual push between the flexible implants, all the flexible implants move toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621. Under the limiting cooperation of the adjacent limiting portion 621 spaced one from the proximal side of the limiting portion 621 that forms a limiting cooperation with the first pushing mechanism 500 and the limiting member 610, when the first pushing mechanism 500 is transferred from the distal position to the proximal position, the first guide column 620 remains stationary relative to the limiting member 610, and the first pushing mechanism 500 drives the internal push rod 400 to reset, and the barb 410 retracts into the flexible implant located at the distal end at this time, and repeatedly drives the first pushing mechanism 500 to reciprocate between the proximal position and the distal position, so that all the flexible implants can be pushed out of the puncture tube 200 in turn, thereby realizing the implantation of multiple flexible implants.

[0072] It is understandable that when the barbs 410 are retracted into the flexible implant, the portion of the internal push rod 400 provided with the barbs 410 can be located at the center of the distal flexible implant to ensure that the distal flexible implant can be stably pushed out of the puncture tube 200 by the internal push rod 400.

[0073] It is understandable that each time the first pushing mechanism 500 reciprocates between the proximal position and the distal position, the first guide column 620 moves distally by a distance of the limit portion 621 and pushes the distal implant out of the puncture tube 200 through the hollow push rod 300 or the internal push rod 400.

[0074] It is understandable that when multiple rigid implants are loaded into the distal end of the puncture tube 200, the internal push rod 400 can avoid the rigid implants in the axial or radial direction to prevent the internal push rod 400 from pushing the rigid implants out of the puncture tube 200. Exemplarily, the position of the internal push rod 400 relative to the first pushing mechanism 500 in the axial direction is adjustable so that the internal push rod 400 can avoid the rigid implants in the axial direction.

[0075] It is understandable that the suturing device can adjust the number of implants filled in the distal end of the puncture tube 200 by changing the number of the upper limit portions 621 of the first guide column 620, thereby improving practicality.

[0076] Exemplarily, 4-8 limiting portions 621 may be provided on the first guide column 620, and 2-6 implants may be filled in the distal end of the corresponding puncture tube 200.

[0077] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first pushing mechanism 500 includes a guide member 510 , and a limiting fit can be formed between the guide member 510 and the limiting member 610 to block the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end along the axial direction.

[0078] Specifically, the first pushing mechanism 500 further includes a fixing block 520 and a fastener 530. The fixing block 520 is detachably connected to the guide member 510, and a first through hole 521 is provided on the fixing block 520, and the proximal end of the internal push rod 400 is penetrated through the first through hole 521; the fastener 530 is radially penetrated through the fixing block 520 and abuts against the circumference of the internal push rod 400, so as to achieve the relative fixation of the internal push rod 400 and the first pushing mechanism 500. In this embodiment, when the patient needs to implant a rigid implant, the fastener 530 can be loosened, and the internal push rod 400 can be removed from the fixing block 520, or the distal end of the internal push rod 400 can be retracted into the hollow push rod 300. In addition, the axial relative position of the internal push rod 400 relative to the first pushing mechanism 500 can be adjusted through the fastener 530, so that the internal push rod 400 can stably push the flexible implant out of the puncture tube 200.

[0079] Exemplarily, the fastener 530 may be a top screw. A plurality of fasteners 530, for example, two fasteners 530 may be provided at intervals along the axial direction of the inner push rod 400 to ensure that the fixed connection between the inner push rod 400 and the fixing block 520 is stable and reliable.

[0080] In a feasible embodiment, the guide member 510 includes a second guide column 511, the proximal end of the second guide column 511 extends to form a connecting arm 512, the proximal end of the connecting arm 512 is provided with a first clip 513, and the fixing block 520 is provided with a first slot 522. The first clip 513 is engaged with the first slot 522 to achieve fixation between the guide member 510 and the fixing block 520, thereby facilitating assembly.

[0081] Exemplarily, a plurality of, for example, two, connecting arms 512 are provided at circumferential intervals around the first guide pillar 620 , and the first slots 522 correspond one-to-one to the connecting arms 512 to ensure that the connection between the guide member 510 and the fixing block 520 is stable and reliable.

[0082] Exemplarily, the second guide column 511 is provided with a second through hole 5101 along the axial direction, and the proximal end of the hollow push rod 300 is passed through the second through hole 5101 to facilitate the positioning and assembly of the guide member 510 and the hollow push rod 300 .

[0083] Exemplarily, a proximal end of the second guide post 511 is provided with a clearance groove 5102 , and the first guide post 620 can extend into the clearance groove 5102 .

[0084] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the limiting portion 621 may include a limiting plane 6211 and a tapered surface 6212 disposed at the distal end of the limiting plane 6211. It is understandable that the first guide column 620 may be designed as a pagoda structure, for example, the limiting portion 621 may be truncated cone-shaped.

[0085] Specifically, the first guide column 620 is provided with a third through hole 622 along the axial direction, and the proximal end of the hollow push rod 300 is passed through the third through hole 622, so as to facilitate the positioning and assembly of the first guide column 620 and the hollow push rod 300.

[0086] Specifically, the guide member 510 also includes a first elastic arm 514 disposed at the proximal end of the second guide column 511. A limit buckle 515 is disposed at the proximal end of the first elastic arm 514. The limit buckle 515 can form a limit fit with the limit plane 6211 to block the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end along the axial direction. With the cooperation of the limit member 610, the first pushing mechanism 500 is driven to transfer from the proximal position to the distal position. The limit buckle 515 pushes against the limit plane 6211 of one of the limit parts 621 to move the hollow push rod 300 toward the distal end. In the process of driving the first pushing mechanism 500 to transfer from the distal position to the proximal position, the conical surface 6212 of one of the limit parts 621 is against the limit buckle 515, the first elastic arm 514 is deformed, and the limit buckle 515 After slipping off the conical surface 6212 of the limiting portion 621, the first elastic arm 514 recovers its deformation, and the limiting undercut 515 and the limiting plane 6211 of the limiting portion 621 form a limiting fit that axially blocks the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end, thereby achieving the first pushing mechanism 500 to reciprocate between the proximal position and the distal position once, and the first guide column 620 drives the hollow push rod 300 to move toward the distal end by a distance of a limiting portion 621, which is stable and reliable.

In the process of driving the first pushing mechanism 500 to transfer from the proximal position to the distal position, the conical surface 6212 of one of the limiting portions 621 abuts against the second elastic arm 611, and the second elastic arm 611 is deformed. After the distal end of the second elastic arm 611 slips off the conical surface 6212 of the limiting portion 621, the second elastic arm 611 recovers its deformation, and the distal end surface 6111 of the second elastic arm 611 and the limiting plane 6211 of the limiting portion 621 form a limiting fit to block the first guide column 620 from moving toward the proximal end in the axial direction. The guide column 620 moves toward the limit position of the proximal end, and the first guide column 620 drives the hollow push rod 300 to move toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621, and then drives the first pushing mechanism 500 to transfer from the distal position to the proximal position. The first guide column 620 no longer moves toward the proximal end, that is, the first pushing mechanism 500 reciprocates between the proximal position and the distal position once, and the first guide column 620 drives the hollow push rod 300 to move toward the distal end by a distance of a limit portion 621, which is stable and reliable.
