Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a suture traction device and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] For pre-knotted, knot-free external suture anchors, during surgery, the surgeon uses the traction sutures attached to the external suture anchor to pull the sutures of the internal anchor through the external suture anchor, bridging the internal and external anchors. Then, the external suture anchor is implanted on the outside of the rotator cuff stop. Since the pre-knotted structure is already in place, no knotting is required; the sutures are tightened directly to achieve rotator cuff reconstruction.

[0003] In the actual process of guiding the inner row of sutures into the outer row of anchors, the complex winding path of the traction thread around the pre-placed knots on the outer row of anchors results in significant frictional resistance between the traction thread and the outer row of anchors, which can easily lead to suture injuries or cuts to the surgeon's fingers. Furthermore, when the traction thread is pulled by external force, the pre-placed knots are affected by frictional resistance, which can cause the pre-placed knots to tighten before the suture is introduced into the outer row of anchors, resulting in traction operation failure and product scrap.

[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0050] In existing technologies, during the actual traction of the inner row of sutures, the complex winding path of the traction thread around the pre-placed knots on the outer row of suture anchors results in significant frictional resistance between the traction thread and the outer row of suture anchors, which can easily lead to suture injuries or cuts to the surgeon's fingers. Furthermore, when the traction thread is pulled by external force, the pre-placed knots are affected by frictional resistance, which can cause the pre-placed knots to tighten before the suture is introduced into the outer row of suture anchors, leading to traction operation failure and product scrap.

[0051] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a suture traction device for pulling the suture 20 into the full suture anchor assembly 10. The full suture anchor assembly 10 includes an inserter 101 and full suture outer row anchors. The full suture outer row anchors include a nail body 102 and a traction line 103, with the traction line 103 passing through the nail body 102. The nail body 102 is installed at the implantation end of the inserter 101. Specifically, the suture traction device includes a traction box 1 and a base 2. The nail body 102 and a partial inserter 101 are installed in the receiving cavity of the traction box 1. The side wall of the traction box 1 is provided with two thread holes 11 for passing through the traction thread 103. The traction box 1 includes a detachably connected traction cover 12 and a traction bottom shell 13. The traction cover 12 is provided with a first winding post 121 for winding the traction thread 103, and the traction bottom shell 13 is provided with a second winding post 131 for winding the traction thread 103. The base 2 is detachably connected to the traction bottom shell 13. The base 2 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 21 for winding the traction thread 103. The limiting posts 21 pass through the side wall of the traction bottom shell 13 and extend into the receiving cavity. Each first winding post 121 is provided with a limiting post 21 on both sides.

[0052] In use, the full-seam anchor assembly 10 is installed inside the traction base 13; the base 2 is connected to the traction base 13, the pre-set knot of the traction line 103 is wound around the limiting post 21 to form a first loop 1031, the pre-set knot of the traction line 103 is wound around the second winding post 131 to form a second loop 1032, and the two ends of the traction line 103 are respectively passed through the two thread holes 11; the traction cover 12 is connected to the traction base 13, the base 2 is removed so that the first loop 1031 is wound around the first winding post 121, and the non-loop end of the traction line 103 is wound around the handle 1011 of the inserter 101 to complete the assembly of the seamolecular traction device. In this embodiment, since the pre-set knot of the traction line 103 is wound around the limiting post 21 to form a first loop 1031, after the traction cover 12 is assembled, the first loop 1031 is wound around the first winding post 121. The limiting post 21 on the base 2 assists the first loop 1031 in being wound around the first winding post 121, and the pre-set knot of the traction line 103 is wound around the second winding post 131 to form a second loop 1032. In this embodiment, the first winding post 121 and the second winding post 131 are used for the path arrangement of the traction suture 103. Before the traction suture 20 is pulled by the traction suture 103, the traction suture 103 only passes through the nail body 102 and is not directly wrapped around the side wall of the nail body 102. This greatly reduces the frictional resistance between the sutures 20 at the pre-placed knot and between the suture 20 and the nail body 102 during the process of the traction suture 103 pulling the suture 20, thus avoiding the pre-placed knot from tightening during the traction process. This allows the traction suture 103 to smoothly pull the suture 20 through the nail body 102, greatly reducing the traction resistance and avoiding cuts to the surgeon by the suture 20 during traction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the stitch 20 is an inner row of stitches, and the nail body 102 is woven from textile thread using a weaving process. The nail body 102 is provided with holes for threading the traction line 103 or the stitch 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-5 As shown, the traction cover 12 has multiple buckles 124 arranged circumferentially, and the traction base 13 has multiple slots 137 arranged circumferentially. The buckles 124 and slots 137 correspond one-to-one, and the buckles 124 are engaged with the slots 137 to achieve a detachable connection between the traction cover 12 and the traction base 13, forming the traction box 1. In this embodiment, there are four buckles 124 and four slots 137.

[0055] Preferably, the traction cover 12 has four first lugs 125 at its four corners for easy gripping by the surgeon when opening the cover. The traction base 13 has two second lugs 138 on its outer side for easy gripping by the surgeon when opening the cover. The two long sides of the traction cover 12 have first thread passages 126, and the two long sides of the traction base 13 have second thread passages 139. After the traction base 13 is connected to the traction cover 12, the first thread passages 126 and the second thread passages 139 are joined together to form a wiring hole 11.

[0056] In existing technology, the traction suture operation is performed externally. The anchor body of the full suture external row is only engaged in the U-shaped groove at the end of the inserter and is not effectively fixed. If the surgeon causes the inserter to shake significantly during the traction operation, the full suture external row anchor may shift relative to the inserter or even fall off, which not only leads to product failure but also increases the surgical risk.

[0057] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, as follows: Figures 2-6 As shown, the suture traction device also includes a fastener 3, which is detachably installed inside the traction base 13. The implantation end of the inserter 101 is provided with a first U-shaped groove, and the nail body 102 is installed within the first U-shaped groove, perpendicular to the implantation end of the inserter 101. The fastener 3 is provided with a second U-shaped groove 31, and each of the opposite sidewalls of the second U-shaped groove 31 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 32. The implantation end of the inserter 101 is connected to the arc-shaped groove 32, and the bottom of the second U-shaped groove 31 seals the opening of the first U-shaped groove. The diameter of the arc-shaped groove 32 is the same as the diameter of the implantation end of the inserter 101, forming an interference fit with the inserter 101. This fixes the nail body 102 within the first U-shaped groove of the inserter 101, preventing the nail body 102 from falling off the inserter 101 during the process of unpacking the product or removing the inserter 101 from the traction box 1, thus avoiding product failure.

[0058] More preferably, the bottom of the second U-shaped groove 31 is provided with a sealing protrusion 33, which can be embedded in the opening of the first U-shaped groove to further seal the first U-shaped groove of the inserter 101.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fastener 3 is T-shaped, and the inner wall of the traction base 13 is provided with a first limiting groove 132. The fastener 3 is embedded in the first limiting groove 132 and is fixed in conjunction with the traction base 13, which can limit the fastener 3 from shaking within the traction base 13. In this embodiment, the traction cover 12 has a T-shaped hole 127. After the traction cover 12 and the traction base 13 are assembled, the fastener 3 is embedded in the T-shaped hole 127 for limiting the fastener 3.

[0060] Preferably, the inner wall of the traction base shell 13 is provided with a second limiting groove 133 extending along the first direction. The nail body 102 is embedded in the second limiting groove 133. The side wall of the second limiting groove 133 is provided with clearance holes 134, which are located on both sides of the nail body 102 along the second direction. The clearance holes 134 are used for the passage of the traction line 103 or the sewing thread 20 at the pre-placed knot. During the process of the traction line 103 pulling the sewing thread 20, the swaying of the anchor nail along the second direction can be restricted, improving the connection stability between the anchor nail and the inserter 101. In this embodiment, the first direction is X, the second direction is Y, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0061] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the traction base shell 13 is provided with a third limiting groove 135 extending in the second direction, and the inner wall of the traction cover 12 is provided with a fourth limiting groove 122 extending in the second direction. A portion of the inserter 101 is embedded between the third limiting groove 135 and the fourth limiting groove 122 for limiting the insertion of the inserter 101. Preferably, the lower end of the traction base shell 13 is provided with a protruding fifth limiting groove 140, and a portion of the inserter 101 is embedded in the fifth limiting groove 140 for limiting the insertion of the inserter 101, facilitating the operator's grip.

[0062] Preferably, the traction cover 12 is provided with at least two first winding posts 121, which are located on both sides of the nail body 102 along the second direction. Therefore, the pre-placed knot of the traction wire 103 is wound around the two first winding posts 121 so that the pre-placed knot of the traction wire 103 does not contact the side wall of the nail body 102.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are two first winding posts 121, so there are four limiting posts 21. The traction base shell 13 is provided with four through holes 141. When the base 2 is assembled with the traction base shell 13, the four limiting posts 21 are inserted into the traction box 1 through the four through holes 141. The four limiting posts 21 are used to limit the traction box 1 during assembly and to initially limit the pre-set knot path of the traction line 103.

[0064] Preferably, the traction base shell 13 is provided with a first limiting hole 136, and the first winding post 121 can extend into the first limiting hole 136. Therefore, there is no gap between the first winding post 121 and the inner wall of the traction base shell 13, preventing the traction line 103 or the sewing thread 20 from falling off the first winding post 121; and / or the traction cover 12 is provided with a second limiting hole 123, and the second winding post 131 can extend into the second limiting hole 123. Therefore, there is no gap between the second winding post 131 and the inner wall of the traction cover 12, preventing the traction line 103 or the sewing thread 20 from falling off the second winding post 131.

[0065] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a method for applying the suture traction device, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the application method of the suture traction device includes a suture traction device assembly method, which is used to assemble the aforementioned suture traction device; the suture traction device assembly method includes the following steps:

[0066] S11. Install the full-suture anchor assembly 10 inside the traction base 13; wherein, the nail body 102 with the traction line 103 is placed into the first U-shaped groove of the inserter 101, and the fastener 3 is installed at the implantation end of the inserter 101 to prevent the nail body 102 from falling off the inserter 101.

[0067] S12, such as Figure 7 As shown, the base 2 is connected to the traction housing 13. The pre-set knot of the traction wire 103 is wound around the limiting post 21 to form a first loop 1031. The pre-set knot of the traction wire 103 is wound around the second winding post 131 to form a second loop 1032. Both ends of the traction wire 103 are respectively passed through two wiring holes 11. The traction box 1 is placed on the base 2, so that the limiting post 21 on the base 2 passes through the through hole 141 on the traction housing 13 and extends into the receiving cavity of the traction box 1. Then, the part in step S11 with the tight The inserter 101 of the fastener 3 is embedded in the first limiting groove 132 and the third limiting groove 135 of the traction bottom shell 13. The nail body 102 with the traction wire 103 exposed at the outer end of the fastener 3 is tucked into the second limiting groove 133 of the traction box 1. The pre-set knot of the traction wire 103 is wound around the limiting post 21 to form a first wire loop 1031. The pre-set knot of the traction wire 103 is wound around the second winding post 131 to form a second wire loop 1032. The two ends of the traction wire 103 are respectively placed in the two second wire passages 139.

[0068] S13. Connect the traction cover 12 to the traction base 13, and remove the base 2 so that the first suture loop 1031 is wound around the first winding post 121. The first suture loop 1031 is indirectly wound around the first winding post 121 by the limiting post 21 on the base 2, to prevent the first suture loop 1031 from having no reference position to be wound when the traction cover 12 is not installed. Wrap the non-loop end of the traction thread 103 around the handle 1011 of the inserter 101 to complete the assembly of the suture traction device. During the operation, the sample obtained by the surgeon does not include the base 2.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 12 As shown, the application method of the suture traction device also includes a method for using the suture traction device, which is used to assemble the suture 20 onto the full suture anchor assembly 10 within the suture traction device; the method for using the suture traction device includes the following steps:

[0070] S21, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the suture traction device assembled in step S13 is taken out. One end of the suture 20 is passed through the suture loop of the traction line 103. The non-suture loop end of the traction line 103 is removed from the handle 1011 of the inserter 101 and pulled until the suture 20 is pulled through one thread hole 11 into the suture traction device and out through another thread hole 11. The full suture anchor assembly 10 with the suture traction device is taken out of the packaging. The free end of the suture 20 with the inner row of anchors that has been implanted into the human body is passed through the suture loop of the traction line 103.
