Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an annulus fibrosus suturing device. Background Art

[0002] Lumbar disc herniation is a comprehensive symptom manifested by disc degeneration, rupture of the annulus fibrosus, and prolapse of the nucleus pulposus stimulating or compressing the nerve root. During the operation, it is necessary to incise the annulus fibrosus, remove the nucleus pulposus at the rupture of the annulus fibrosus, and after the operation, it is necessary to suture the incision of the annulus fibrosus to reduce the possibility of recurrence of lumbar disc herniation after the operation.

[0003] In the related art, a disposable annulus fibrosus suturing device can be used to suture the annulus fibrosus. Generally, disposable annulus fibrosus suturing devices include the following categories: First, insert the disposable annulus fibrosus suturing device into the surgical channel first to pass a suture thread through one side of the incision, then replace the disposable annulus fibrosus suturing device and insert it into the surgical channel again to pass a suture thread through the other side of the incision, and finally tie and fix the two suture threads. In this way, the interval time between passing the two suture threads is long, occupying the surgical time. Second, there is a suturing device with a straight needle and a curved needle, but the problem with it is that the needle spacing between the two needles and the direction of targeted suturing are fixed. During the operation, it is almost impossible to control the positions of the two needles on both sides of the incision, and the relative direction of suturing of the two needles cannot be adjusted. This results in the need for different specifications of annulus fibrosus suturing devices for different types of annulus fibrosus wounds or incisions, and for irregular wounds, suturing may fail due to the collapse of the soft tissue at the incision edge.

[0004] It can be seen that there is a need to provide an improved disposable annulus fibrosus suturing device to meet more demand scenarios (small-area trauma, large-area trauma, etc.), improve the suturing success rate or shorten the suturing time. Summary of the Invention

The shuttle 110 is used to clamp the suture 180. The end of the suture 180 is wound around a thread take-up wheel 311 inside the handle. The push rod 120 and the grasping rod 130 are used to release and clamp the shuttle 110. One end of the piercing needle 150 has a blade portion and is used to pierce tissue; the sheath tube 160 is used to wrap the above-mentioned push rod 120, grasping rod 130, and piercing needle 150. The push rod 120, grasping rod 130, and piercing needle 150 can move inside the sheath tube 160, and a first opening 161 is provided on the sheath tube 160. Through the above-mentioned suture needle control assembly 200, the above-mentioned piercing member can extend or retract within the first opening 161.

[0068] In this embodiment, the suture needle assembly 100 further includes a movable rod 170. The movable rod 170 is connected to the clamping seat 140 and is used to control the pivoting or straightening of the clamping seat 140; specifically, the movable rod 170 includes a head 171, a rod portion 172, and a bent neck. The head 171 and the rod portion 172 are arranged in parallel, and the bent neck is used to connect the head 171 and the neck 172.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 9 , the suture needle control assembly 200 controls the forward and backward movement of the movable rod 170, thereby driving the connecting member 190 to move forward and backward, and further driving the clamping seat 140 to extend axially or pivot downward to form a 90° angle with the axis.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connecting member 190 includes a connecting rod one 191 and a connecting rod two 192. One end of the connecting rod one 191 is movably connected to the clamping seat 140 through the connecting rod two 192, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable rod 170.

[0071] In this embodiment, a through hole 142 is formed in the lower part of the clamping seat 140, and a first elastic piece 141 is arranged in the middle part. The bottom of the first elastic piece 141 extends to the through hole 142, and the bottom of the first elastic piece 141 is an inclined surface, so that the first elastic piece 141 can clamp the shuttle 110; in addition, a ridge 143 facing the center of the through hole 142 is arranged on the bottom surface of the through hole 142. Multiple inclined surfaces and chamfers are formed on the ridge 143, and the ridge 143 is used to guide the movement of the shuttle 110 and further fix the shuttle 110 after the shuttle 110 is clamped by the first elastic piece 141 to prevent it from moving around.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the shuttle 110 includes a conical threading part 111 at the front end and a clamping part 112 at the rear end. The conical threading part 111 is hollow and forms a hollow part, and the end of the sewing thread 180 is clamped in the hollow part; two radially outward protruding ears 1121 are symmetrically arranged on the clamping part 112, and two inclined surfaces 1122 inclined towards the center are arranged on each ear 1121. An axially through slot 1111 is arranged at the bottom of the conical threading part 111, and the slot 1111 is used to be clamped with the above-mentioned ridge 143, so that the shuttle 110 is further fixed in the clamping seat 140.

[0073] For the convenience of description and understanding, the proximal end and the distal end described in this embodiment are for the user. When the user holds the annulus fibrosus suturing device, the end close to the user is the proximal end, and the end far from the user is the distal end.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in this embodiment, two spherical protruding parts 121 are symmetrically arranged on the circumferential surface of the distal end of the push rod 120, and a push rod clamping part 122 is arranged at the proximal end of the push rod 120.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the inside of the puncture needle 150 is hollow, and its distal end is a blade part for puncturing tissue. A stop part 152 and a puncture needle clamping part 151 are arranged on the circumferential surface of the proximal end of the puncture needle 150.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, in this embodiment, the gripper bar 130 is hollow inside, and two windows 131 are symmetrically arranged along the circumferential direction at its distal end. These two windows 131 can be correspondingly snapped into two ear portions 1121 of the shuttle 110; on the inner surface of the gripper bar 130 connected to the two windows 131, two deep grooves 132 are further arranged axially. The depth of the deep grooves 132 decreases in a gradient manner from the proximal end to the distal end. Two notches 133 along the axial direction of the gripper bar 130 are symmetrically arranged in the direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned windows 131, so that the distal end of the gripper bar 130 has elasticity. The push rod 120 is movably arranged inside the gripper bar 130, and two protruding portions 121 are respectively in sliding contact with the two deep grooves 132; it can be understood that when the push rod 120 moves from the proximal end to the distal end, the protruding portion 121 can expand the distal end of the gripper bar 130 and release the shuttle 110; when the push rod 120 moves from the distal end to the proximal end, the distal end of the gripper bar 130 resumes and can re-capture the shuttle 110 by means of the inclined surface 1122 of the shuttle 110; a gripper bar clamping portion 134 is arranged at the proximal end of the gripper bar 130.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 10 to 16 , in this embodiment, the suture needle control assembly 200 includes a clamping seat movable control member 210, a suture needle rotation control member 220, and a suture needle telescopic control member 230.

[0078] Specifically, the above-mentioned clamping seat movable control member 210 includes a rotating rod 212, a gear 213, a rack 214, a first flap 215, a second flap 216, a blocking portion 219, and a pair of fixing plates 2110; wherein the knob 211 and the rotating rod 212 are fixedly connected, the first flap 215 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 212, the gear 213 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 212, the gear 213 is meshed with the rack 214, and the rack 214 is fixedly connected to the rod portion 172 of the movable rod 170; the blocking portion 219 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle housing 300, and the blocking portion 219 has a proximal step and a distal step opposite to each other. The movable rod 170 passes through the distal step of the blocking portion 219 and abuts against the inner wall of the proximal step; a first spring 217 is arranged between the rack 214 and the proximal step, and the first spring 217 is sleeved on the movable rod 170; a pair of fixing plates 2110 are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle housing 300. A first column and a second column are arranged between the fixing plates 2110; the second flap 216 is sleeved on the first column and connected to the second column through a first tension spring 218; the first flap 215 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 212 and rotates with the rotating rod 212. When the rotating rod 212 rotates to an angle, the first flap 215 contacts the second flap 216 and forms a locking relationship. When the rotating rod 215 continues to rotate, the first flap 215 is separated from the second flap 216 and the locking relationship is released.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15, in this embodiment, a pair of fixing plates 2110 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle housing 300, and a first column and a second column are arranged between the fixing plates 2110; the second flap 216 is sleeved on the first column and connected to the second column through a first tension spring 218;

[0080] The first flap 215 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 212 and rotates with the rotating rod 212. When the rotating rod 212 rotates to an angle, the first flap 215 contacts the second flap 216 and forms an engaging relationship. When the rotating rod 215 continues to rotate, the first flap 215 disengages from the second flap 216 and the engaging relationship is released.

[0081] In this embodiment, a pinch strip 2111 is provided on the knob 211. When the pinch strip 2111 is rotated clockwise, the gear 213 rotates clockwise accordingly, thereby driving the rack 214 to move towards the proximal end. The rack 214 simultaneously drives the movable rod 170 to move backward, causing the clamping seat 140 to gradually pivot downward, and the movement of the rack 214 will gradually compress the first spring 217. The first flap 215 also rotates clockwise at the same time and gradually contacts the second flap 216 during the rotation process, and continuously drives the second flap 216 to rotate clockwise, thereby gradually stretching the first tension spring 218. When the pinch strip 2111 is rotated until it is perpendicular to the axial direction of the sheath 160, the third chamfer 2161 in the second flap 216 is caught in the gap 2153 between the first chamfer 2151 and the second chamfer 2152 in the first flap 215. And because the first spring has a reverse acting force on the first flap 215 and the first tension spring 218 has a reverse acting force on the second flap 216, a stable and balanced force can be formed between the third chamfer 2161 and the first chamfer 2151 and the second chamfer 2152, so as to remain stationary, making the clamping seat 140 maintain a state of 90° with the axial direction. When it is necessary to restore the clamping seat 140 to a state parallel to the axial direction, only need to rotate the pinch strip 2111 clockwise again to disengage the first flap 215 from the second flap 216. At this time, the rack 214 moves towards the distal end under the elastic force of the first spring 217, thereby driving the movable rod 170 to move forward, making the clamping seat 140 return to a state parallel to the axial direction. At the same time, the gear 213, the rotating rod 212, the first flap 215 and the knob 211 also rotate counterclockwise to their original positions, and the second flap 216 also returns to its original position under the elastic force of the first tension spring 218.
