Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Microsurgery usually uses optical magnification equipment and microsurgical instruments to perform delicate operations to cut or remove tissues in different parts. For example, in minimally invasive ophthalmic surgery, tissues such as the lens, cortex, broken nucleus, vitreous humor, and detached retina are cut and removed. Vitrectomy is currently the most effective method for complex posterior segment surgeries (such as vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous opacities, retinal detachment, macular holes, etc.). The vitreous humor is a transparent, viscoelastic, filamentous material that fills the posterior segment of the eye and is attached to the retina. During the cutting and removal process, great care must be taken to avoid pulling on the retina and causing damage such as holes and detachment.

[0003] The vitrectomy handle used in existing vitrectomies is generally pneumatically reciprocatingly driven, with a pneumatic diaphragm dividing the internal space of the handle to form two front and rear chambers. The air guide channel is also located inside the handle. The diseased tissue is cut by alternately ventilating the two chambers to drive the inner and outer cutting needles to move relative to each other. At the same time, a Venturi pump or peristaltic pump is used to suction and remove diseased tissue debris.

[0004] The main disadvantages of existing handles are: the current handles all adopt a guillotine-type reciprocating cutting form, which requires alternately inflating the front and rear sides of the pneumatic diaphragm to push the diaphragm forward and backward. The pneumatic diaphragm has movement steps such as starting, moving, stopping, reverse starting, reverse movement, and reverse stopping. This will consume too much energy to maintain high-frequency reciprocating motion. Summary of the invention

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0065] The cutting handle 10 provided by the present invention is used for cutting and aspirating intraocular vitreous body, membrane, blood and lens.

[0066] The specific structure includes:

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the grip portion is the part that the user holds with the palm of his hand when using.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the distal end of the gripping portion is fixedly connected to an outer needle 401, and the outer needle 401 is tubular; the side wall of the outer needle 401 has an incision; the inner needle 402 is located inside the outer needle 401, and the inner needle 402 can rotate relative to the outer needle 401, and a cutter 403 is provided on the distal side wall of the inner needle 402, and the cutter 403 cooperates with the incision to cut the tissue structure.

[0069] like Figure 2As shown, the cutting handle 10 includes a driving unit 100, the driving unit 100 is located in the gripping portion, and the driving unit 100 is connected to the proximal end of the inner needle 402, and is used to drive the inner needle 402 to rotate, so that the cutter 403 forms a cutting action when passing through the incision. The driving unit 100 can be electric or pneumatic. In this embodiment, the driving unit 100 is pneumatic. It should be noted that the proximal end mentioned in this article is the end close to the user, and the distal end is the end close to the patient.

[0070] Different from the back-and-forth reciprocating motion in the prior art, the rotary cutting scheme adopted in this scheme has a high-speed rotary motion (clockwise or counterclockwise) in a single direction, avoiding the energy loss caused by the reciprocating motion process of the moving parts starting-stopping-restarting.

[0071] In the prior art, usually the inner and outer cutting needles are composed of two metal circular tubes of different sizes. The distal end of the metal tube is laser cut and capped to form two notches at the distal end of the metal tube to simulate a blade. Under the condition that the outer needle 401 remains stationary, the inner needle 402 moves back and forth in a straight line, so that the notches of the two move in a "guillotine" manner to cut the intraocular tissue. The metal tube is usually made of stable metal materials such as stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy, etc. that are biocompatible. In this embodiment, the inner needle 402 is in the form of a solid metal rod or a braided tube. Compared with the existing inner needle 402 that constructs a diversion channel through the hollow structure of the inner needle 402, in this solution, Figure 5 As shown, constructing a flow guide channel with the gap between the inner diameter of the outer needle 401 and the outer diameter of the inner needle 402 can increase the flow cross-sectional area, thereby improving the suction efficiency.

[0072] The distal end of the inner needle 402 is connected to the cutter 403 by welding, riveting or bonding, and the proximal end is also fixed to the drive shaft 101 by welding, mortise and tenon, snap-fit ​​or threading. When the drive shaft 101 rotates at high speed, the rotational torque is transmitted to the distal cutter 403, driving the cutter 403 to perform high-speed rotary cutting motion (10W-20WRPM), thereby realizing the cutting function of the intraocular tissue.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the gripping portion includes a rear shell 11, a middle portion 12 and a front shell 13 connected in sequence, the proximal end and the distal end of the middle portion 12 respectively have a rear groove and a front groove, and the rear shell 11 blocks the rear groove. Figure 3 As shown, a first chamber 16 is formed between the support sleeve 104 in the rear groove and the rear groove. Figure 2 As shown, the distal end opening of the front groove is blocked by a front gland 14, and a first sealing material 15 is provided between the front gland 14 and the side wall of the front groove. The front shell 13 is buckled and covered on the outer side of the front gland 14.

[0074] like Figure 3As shown, the drive unit 100 is located inside the middle part 12 of the handle, the rear groove of the middle part 12 and the rear shell 11 form a cavity, the first chamber 16 is separated in the cavity by the support sleeve 104, and then the third chamber 18 is formed by the assembly groove on the support sleeve 104 and the cover 302; the front groove of the middle part 12 and the front shell 13 form a cavity, and the cavity has a front gland 14 for blocking the front groove. After the front gland 14 blocks the front groove, a second chamber 17 is formed in the front groove. The center of the middle part 12 is penetrated by a drive shaft 101, and the rotary impeller 102 in the drive unit 100 is installed on the drive shaft 101. The rotary impeller 102 is located in the first chamber 16, and is supported by rotary bearings 103 on both sides. The rotary bearing 103 at the far end is installed on the middle part 12, and a second seal 106 is located at the far end to form a sealing structure to prevent gas from leaking to the far second chamber 17. The proximal rotating bearing 103 is installed on the support sleeve 104. The support sleeve 104 has an annular groove structure at the distal end, and a first sealing member 105 is installed inside. Figure 2 As shown, the compressed air (nitrogen or other inert gas) in the system passes through the air inlet 114 on the rear shell 11 of the grip portion, passes through the air inlet channel 107, and blows toward the rotating impeller 102 from a direction perpendicular to the drive shaft 101, driving the rotating impeller 102 to rotate at a high speed, with a speed of up to 100.000-200.000RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). Then, the gas passes through the gap of the proximal rotating bearing 103 in a direction parallel to the drive shaft 101, and is discharged from the handle through the air outlet channel 108, the inclined hole on the cover 302, and the air outlet 113.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating impeller 102 includes an impeller base 122, a blade structure 123 and a first shaft groove 121. The rotating impeller 102 is an open structure on both sides, and the drive shaft 101 passes through the impeller base 122. The blade structure 123 is blown by the gas in the vertical direction to rotate at a high speed. The first shaft groove 121 is used to fit with the protruding structure on the drive shaft 101, so that the two rotate together.

[0076] In order to reduce the friction resistance and heat generated during high-speed rotation, the rotating impeller 102 can be made of ceramic material to improve wear resistance and heat dissipation capacity. It can also be made of fluorinated plastic materials such as PTFE to improve its own self-lubricating properties to reduce resistance and friction. The fan blade structure 123 has a certain rotation angle and can realize the functions of forward and reverse rotation, thereby preventing the cutting tube from being blocked.

[0077] like Figure 3As shown, the gripping portion is provided with: a second chamber 17 and a suction channel 202, and the second chamber 17 is located at the distal end of the first chamber 16. In this embodiment, the gap between the outer wall of the inner needle 402 and the inner wall of the outer needle 401 forms a guide channel, and the guide channel is connected to the second chamber 17. In another feasible scheme, the inner needle 402 is provided with a guide channel connected to the outer wall of the inner needle 402. In this scheme, the distal outer wall of the inner needle 402 has an inlet connected to the guide channel, and the cut tissue enters the guide channel inside the inner needle 402 from the incision of the outer needle 401; in another feasible scheme, the above two situations can be met at the same time, that is, there is a gap between the inner needle 402 and the outer needle 401 to form a guide channel, and the inner needle 402 also has a guide channel, and the cut tissue can flow into the second chamber 17 from the two guide channels.

[0078] The inlet of the suction channel 202 is connected to the second chamber 17, and the outlet of the suction channel 202 is connected to the outside through an interface; a centrifugal impeller 201 is arranged inside the second chamber 17, and the centrifugal impeller 201 is connected to the driving shaft 101, and the two are coaxial, and the rotating centrifugal impeller 201 is used to guide the fluid from the guide channel to the suction channel 202.

[0079] In this embodiment, the suction action is achieved by the centrifugal impeller 201 inside the handle, rather than relying on the pump body outside the handle. Specifically, the rotating impeller 102 drives the centrifugal impeller 201 while rotating at high speed. The rotation direction of the blades on the centrifugal impeller 201 is opposite to the rotation direction of the blade structure 123 of the rotating impeller 102, which plays a role in balancing and reducing vibration. In combination with the unidirectional rotation movement, it can effectively reduce noise. And, as Figure 8 As shown, the outer wall of the inner needle 402 has a thread 4021 that spirals along its length, and the rotating inner needle 402 can guide the liquid to the proximal side. Compared with the current mainstream suction form through an external Venturi pump or a peristaltic pump, the high-speed rotary cutting handle has a built-in high-speed suction impeller, which is equivalent to building a centrifugal pump into the handle, which can greatly improve the suction efficiency. At the same time, the suction centrifugal pump is located inside the handle, closer to the working target position (the patient's eyes), and is equipped with a flow rate control mechanism, which can make feedback adjustments more quickly, making the suction flow characteristics more stable, reducing the fluid fluctuations (pulsation) generated during the suction process, and enhancing safety performance.

[0080] like Figure 7As shown, the centrifugal impeller 201 includes a side retaining ring 211, centrifugal blades 212 and a second shaft groove 213. The second shaft groove 213 is used to fit with the protrusion on the drive shaft 101. The centrifugal blades 212 rotate as the drive shaft 101 rotates at high speed. The centrifugal blades 212 generate a high centrifugal force under high-speed rotation, so that the whole realizes the function of a centrifugal pump, thereby realizing the high-speed suction function of the intraocular fluid (perfusion fluid, vitreous body, etc.).

[0081] It should be noted that the rotation direction of the centrifugal blades 212 is opposite to the rotation direction of the blade structure 123 of the rotating impeller 102, which can play a balancing role during the rotation process and reduce the vibration and noise of the overall rotation motion.

[0082] The centrifugal impeller 201 is a semi-closed structure as a whole, and the side retaining ring 211 is installed at the proximal end of the rotary cutting handle to prevent the backflow of the liquid and guide the liquid into the suction channel 202.

[0083] The material of the centrifugal impeller 201 can be high-strength, wear-resistant, self-lubricating plastics such as PTFE, POM, PeeK, etc., and ceramics, aluminum alloys, etc., which have good heat dissipation performance and are wear-resistant can also be selected. When the centrifugal impeller 201 is sucking intraocular fluid (vitreous body, perfusion fluid, physiological saline, etc.), the high-speed flowing liquid can take away the heat generated by the centrifugal impeller 201, playing a cooling role.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, a third chamber 18 is provided inside the gripping portion, a tachometer 301 is connected to the driving shaft 101, and the tachometer 301 is located in the third chamber 18; the surface of the tachometer 301 can be a continuous and non-reflective dark surface, and the reflective structure can include two symmetrical reflecting surfaces arranged at 180° positions on both sides of the tachometer 301; an optical signal emitting unit 303 and an optical signal receiving unit 304 are provided inside the third chamber 18, both facing the tachometer 301, and the optical signal emitting unit 303 can generate an optical signal, and when the optical signal is irradiated to the dark surface of the tachometer 301, no signal is returned; when the optical signal is irradiated to the reflective surface of the tachometer 301, a reflected signal is generated and received by the optical signal receiving unit 304.

[0085] The tachometer 301 is installed at the proximal end of the drive shaft 101 and rotates together with the rotating impeller 102. The tachometer 301 includes a continuous non-reflective dark surface, and two symmetrical reflective surfaces are symmetrically arranged at 180° on both sides of the tachometer 301 for counting reflected light signals. Of course, the number of grids and angles of the reflective surfaces can be adjusted according to the specific optical fiber position. The optical signal transmitting unit 303 and the optical signal receiving unit 304 can both be optical fiber cables 33, and the two optical fiber cables 33 form a cable 33, and the cable 33 is connected to the control unit 20 in the surgical device.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the optical signal is injected into the tachometer 301 at the proximal end of the third chamber 18 through the optical fiber cable 33. The input signal is a continuous optical signal. When the optical signal is irradiated to the dark surface of the tachometer 301, no signal is returned. When the optical signal is irradiated to the reflective surface of the tachometer 301, a reflection signal is generated, and the reflection signal is a discontinuous pulse signal. When the tachometer 301 rotates one circle, two reflected pulse signals are generated. Based on this principle, the rotation speed of the current drive shaft 101 is counted. The feedback signal is transmitted back to the control unit 20 along the cable 33, thereby realizing the rotation speed monitoring and regulation of the rotary cutting handle.

[0087] The grip portion is provided with a flow regulating mechanism, and the flow regulating mechanism is used to regulate the flow of the suction channel 202 .

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the flow regulating mechanism includes: a valve body 505 and a control part, the valve body 505 is located in the suction channel 202, a part of the control part is located outside the gripping part, and a part is connected to the valve body 505, and the valve body 505 is driven by the gripping part to move relative to the suction channel 202 to change the effective flow cross-sectional area of ​​the suction channel 202.

[0089] Specifically, the valve body 505 may have a through hole, and the axial direction of the through hole is in the same plane as the axial direction of the suction channel 202; the valve body 505 may be driven to rotate by the grip portion to change the parallelism between the through hole and the suction channel 202. The control portion includes a control knob 501 and a rotating shaft 502, the control knob 501 is connected to the valve body 505 through the rotating shaft 502, and in order to avoid leakage, a fourth sealing member 503 is provided between the outer wall of the rotating shaft 502 and the hole wall of the middle part 12, and a fifth sealing member 504 is also provided between the valve body 505 and the inner wall of the suction channel 202, wherein the fourth sealing member 503 and the fifth sealing member 504 prevent liquid from leaking from the position of the control knob 501. The main function of the valve body 505 is to provide damping or throttling, and to achieve the regulation of the suction flow by changing the cross-sectional size of the suction channel 202. Common implementation methods include mechanical methods such as baffles, latches, ball valves, or electronic methods such as pressure and flow sensors. In this case, a mechanical ball valve is used as an example. The control knob 501 can be set to different gears, and the opening and closing stroke angle of the ball valve is controlled by switching between different gears. When the through hole is parallel to the suction channel 202, the flow of the handle is the largest; when the through hole is perpendicular to the suction channel 202, the flow of the handle is the smallest, which is 0. By controlling the different angles and positions of the valve body 505, the gear control of the suction flow can be achieved.

[0090] The front shell 13 has a through hole through which the outer needle 401 passes, and a third sealing member 404 is arranged in the hole and is arranged around the outer needle 401. The third sealing member 404 may be a sealing ring.

[0091] In summary, the high-speed rotary cutting handle 10 provided by the present invention achieves cutting of intraocular tissues through high-speed rotary motion, and has the following advantages:

[0092] 1. The rotation speed is 100.000-200.000RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). The higher cutting speed can reduce the traction on fragile tissues (such as retina) during the cutting process and has higher safety performance.

[0093] 2. The direction of high-speed rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) is single direction, which avoids the energy loss caused by the reciprocating motion process of starting-stopping-restarting of moving parts.

[0094] 3. The rotating impeller 102 rotates at high speed while driving the centrifugal impeller 201. The rotation direction of the blades on the centrifugal impeller 201 is opposite to that of the blades on the driving impeller, which plays a role in balancing and reducing vibration. Combined with the unidirectional rotation movement, it can effectively reduce noise.

[0095] 4. Compared with the current mainstream suction form through external Venturi pump or peristaltic pump, the high-speed rotary cutting handle has a built-in high-speed suction impeller, which is equivalent to building a centrifugal pump into the handle, which can greatly improve the suction efficiency. At the same time, the suction centrifugal pump is located inside the handle, closer to the working target position (patient's eyes), and is equipped with a damping control unit, which can make feedback adjustments more quickly, making the suction flow characteristics more stable, reducing the fluid fluctuations (pulsation) generated during the suction process, and enhancing safety performance.

[0096] 5. Different from the existing method of constructing a liquid diversion channel with the inner hole of the inner needle 402, the present invention constructs a diversion channel with the cavity between the inner needle 402 and the outer needle 401, which has a higher cross-sectional area and can improve the suction efficiency.

[0097] The vitrectomy device provided by the present invention comprises the cutting handle 10 mentioned above.

[0098] like Fig. 9 As shown, the device includes a control unit 20, and the control unit 20 includes: an external frame 21, and an adjustment knob 22, a display screen 23, an air inlet interface 24, an air outlet interface 25, a circuit interface 26 and a liquid circuit interface 27 arranged on the external frame 21. The air inlet interface 24 is connected to the air inlet channel 107 through a tube body; the air outlet interface 25 is connected to the air outlet channel 108 through a tube body; the liquid circuit interface 27 is connected to the suction channel 202 tube body; the circuit interface 26 is connected to the optical signal transmitting unit 303 and the optical signal receiving unit 304 through a cable 33. The frame 21 contains electronic components such as a control circuit board, and an external gas source provides compressed air or nitrogen. At the same time, it is connected to the fluid control unit 20, which can realize the regulation of parameters such as pressure and flow of gas and liquid (not shown in the figure). The control unit 20 is connected to the handle through a first air pipe 31, a second air pipe 32, a liquid pipe 34 and a cable 33.
