DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0025] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 , the implementation of the intraocular membrane separation device proposed in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.

[0027] The intraocular membrane separation device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a shell 1 and an inner core component 2 .

[0028] Specifically, the shell 1 has a channel 11 and a first mounting groove 12 with an open top, and the channel 11 is connected to the first mounting groove 12; the inner core component 2 has a push-pull member 21, an injection rod 22 and at least two elastic strips 231, and each elastic strip 231 is connected to form an elastic body 23 that gradually shrinks from the middle to both ends, the push-pull member 21 can be slidably installed in the first mounting groove 12, the injection rod 22 is inserted into the channel 11, one end of the injection rod 22 is connected to the push-pull member 21, and the other end of the injection rod 22 is connected to the elastic body 23, and the push-pull member 21 can drive the elastic body 23 to move telescopically in and outside the channel 11. When the elastic body 23 enters the channel 11 from outside the channel 11, each elastic strip 231 is restricted by the channel 11 and gradually deforms toward the axis of the injection rod 22 and moves closer. When the elastic body 23 extends out of the channel 11 from inside the channel 11, each elastic strip 231 gradually deforms away from the axis of the injection rod 22 and expands.

[0029] That is to say, the first mounting groove 12 is suitable for installing the push-pull member 21, and the channel 11 is suitable for limiting the movement of the push rod 22 in the channel 11. The first mounting groove 12 is communicated with the channel 11 to facilitate the connection between the push rod 22 and the push-pull member 21. When the push-pull member 21 slides, it can drive the elastic body 23 connected to the push rod 22 to move and switch in the channel 11 and outside the channel 11. The elastic body 23 is gradually reduced from the middle to the two ends, so that one end of the elastic body 23 enters the channel 11 and uses the limiting effect of the inner wall of the channel 11 to gradually make the elastic strip 231 elastically deform and shrink, and finally the elastic body 23 is gathered in the channel 11. When the elastic body 23 extends out of the channel 11, the other end of the elastic body 23 extends between the proliferative membrane and the retina. Since the elastic strip 231 of the elastic body 23 gradually breaks away from the contact with the inner wall of the channel 11, the elastic strip 231 recovers and expands, thereby gradually stretching and separating the proliferative membrane and the retina. The elastic strip 231 can be cylindrical or thin-sheet-shaped, and can be made of memory metal. Raised strips 212 can be provided on both sides of the push-pull member 21 , and grooves 14 matching the raised strips 212 are provided on the two inner walls of the first mounting groove 12 .

[0030] Thus, the elastic body 23 with a small head and tail and a large middle formed by the elastic strip 231 of the inner core component 2 can be telescoped inside and outside the channel 11 of the shell 1, so that the elastic body 23 can gradually deform and shrink when entering the channel 11, and can gradually deform and expand when extending out of the channel 11, thereby facilitating the gradual separation of the proliferative membrane from the retina, and then facilitating the subsequent removal of the proliferative membrane.

[0031] Optionally, each elastic strip 231 is distributed around the axis of the injection rod 22 at equal intervals. It can be understood that through the above arrangement, it is convenient to set up multiple elastic strips 231, so that the contact position of the elastic strip 231 with the proliferative membrane and the retina is more uniform, and the supporting force is also greater, which is conducive to smoothly separating the proliferative membrane and the retina. Among them, the number of elastic strips 231 can be two, and the two elastic strips 231 are connected to form an ellipse. When the number of elastic strips 231 is greater than two, it can be a shape similar to the head of an egg beater.

[0032] Furthermore, the elastic strip 231 is a nickel-titanium wire. It can be understood that since the nickel-titanium wire has a memory function and good support strength, it can facilitate the expansion and separation of the proliferative membrane and the retina.

[0033] Optionally, the front end of the elastic body 23 is provided with a transition head 232, and the transition head 232 is conical. It can be understood that the provision of the transition head 232 facilitates the ability of the elastic body 23 to squeeze the gap between the proliferative membrane and the retina, so that the elastic body 23 can more easily extend into the gap between the proliferative membrane and the retina to separate the proliferative membrane from the retina.

[0034] Optionally, the cross section of the channel 11 is circular, the outer diameter of the channel 11 is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, and the inner diameter of the channel 11 is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. It can be understood that through the above arrangement, it is convenient for the 27G to 23G push rod 22 to move in the channel 11, and it is convenient to match the size of the proliferative membrane and the retina. Among them, the shell can be made of plastic or metal, and the push rod 22 can be made of metal or glass.

[0035] Optionally, the inner core component 2 also includes a rolling member 24, and the push-pull member 21 defines a second mounting groove 211 with openings at both ends. The rolling member 24 can be elastically pressed and installed in the second mounting groove 211, and the outer ring of the rolling member 24 is exposed at the two openings of the second mounting groove 211. A first tooth portion 241 is provided on the rolling member 24, and a second tooth portion 13 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting groove 12. When the rolling member 24 is pressed, the first tooth portion 241 engages with the second tooth portion 13. When the rolling member 24 rolls, it can drive the push-pull member 21 to slide. When the rolling member 24 is released from being pressed, the first tooth portion 241 disengages from the second tooth portion 13. It can be understood that since the extension speed and depth of the elastic body 23 are required to be high when the proliferative membrane is separated from the retina, the setting of the rolling member 24 can facilitate the addition of a rolling control mode to the sliding control mode of the original push-pull member 21. The operator presses the rolling member 24 to make the first tooth portion 241 on the rolling member 24 mesh with the second tooth portion 13 on the housing 1. The operator keeps pressing the rolling member 24 and then rolls it back and forth to achieve the extension speed and depth of the elastic body 23. That is, one is to achieve the rapid movement of the elastic body 23 by sliding the push-pull member 21, and the other is to achieve the precise movement of the elastic body 23 by rolling the rolling member 24. The operation is convenient and flexible, which is conducive to the expansion and separation of the proliferative membrane from the retina. Among them, the front and rear positions of the push-pull member 21 can be provided with anti-slip patterns to facilitate the sliding of the push-pull member 21, and the housing 1 adjacent to the push-pull member 21 can be provided with scales to facilitate the observation and control of the depth of the extension of the elastic body 23.

[0036] Furthermore, the rolling element 24 further includes a pressing portion 242 disposed on both sides of the first tooth portion 241, and the pressing portion 242 protrudes from the first tooth portion 241. It can be understood that by protruding the pressing portion 242 from the first tooth portion 241, it is convenient to hide the first tooth portion 241 at the lower part of the pressing portion 242, and the operator will not contact the first tooth portion 241 when pressing the rolling element 24, thereby improving the comfort of operation. Among them, the pressing portion 242 can be provided with an anti-skid pattern to facilitate increasing the friction between the finger and the rolling element 24, and the pressing portion 242 is provided with a rotating shaft 243, and the rotating shaft 243 is lifted and slid in the second mounting groove 211, and the rotating shaft 243 and the second mounting groove 211 are matched with a spring 25.
