Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments for neurosurgery and otolaryngology, and in particular to a nasopharyngeal suction tube for transnasal approach surgery. Background Art

[0002] Transnasal surgery is a minimally invasive technique commonly used in neurosurgery and otolaryngology. It is mainly used to treat various lesions in the sellar area, sphenoid sinus and nasopharynx. The surgery enters through the nasal cavity and achieves precise operation on the area with minimal trauma. Among them, the nasopharyngeal suction tube is an important tool for the surgery, which is designed to remove blood and secretions produced during the operation and ensure a clear field of vision. The suction tube is made of soft material and has good biocompatibility. It can effectively reduce stimulation to surrounding tissues during surgery. Its design is usually slender, which is convenient for introduction through the nasal cavity, and is equipped with an efficient negative pressure device to quickly drain fluids and keep the surgical area dry and clean. With the advancement of surgical technology, the patient's recovery time is significantly shortened, and the incidence of postoperative complications is also greatly reduced, which greatly improves the overall treatment level of otolaryngology.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent number CN219127570U discloses a nasopharyngeal suction tube for transnasal approach surgery, including a suction tube body and a suction hose connected thereto, the tail of the suction tube body and the upper end surface of the suction hose are both provided with a guide rope hole block, and the suction tube body and the upper end surface of the suction hose are movably provided with a traction rope that runs through the guide rope hole block, and a shaping plate is embedded in the upper part of the suction hose; a notched ring groove is provided on the outer wall of the middle part of the suction tube body, ribs are symmetrically arranged in the notched ring groove, and a pressure regulating diaphragm is sealed between adjacent ribs, and a pressing assembly for fixing the traction rope is provided on the top rib. The end of the traction rope drives the suction hose to bend after overcoming the reverse elastic force of the shaping plate, and the bending angle of the suction hose is adjusted according to actual needs, so as to reach the sphenoid sinus position quickly and accurately; the pressure regulating diaphragms on both sides are pressed to adjust the gas flow cross-sectional area in the middle of the inner side of the suction tube body, thereby adaptively adjusting the negative pressure suction force on the air inlet side of the suction hose. Compared with the prior art, the Chinese patent number CN219127570U solves the problem that although the material characteristics of the existing suction hose are convenient for reaching the nasopharynx through the oral cavity, the bending angle of the suction hose is arbitrary and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs, resulting in the suction hose being unable to quickly and accurately reach the sphenoid sinus.

[0004] However, in actual use of the above device, blood clots may block the hose when sucking blood and smoke through the suction tube, and replacing the hose is time-consuming. Repeated in and out operation may also cause damage to the nasal mucosa. In addition, the existing hose is generally fixed to the skin surface with tape during the suction process, and the fixing effect is not good and requires personnel to pay attention and observe. Therefore, a nasopharyngeal suction tube for transnasal approach surgery is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0033] A fixing ring 3 is slidably connected to the suction main pipe 1 near the negative pressure regulating housing 4, and a fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring 3. The fixing mechanism can drive two clamping members 10 arranged at the bottom to move relatively, so as to fix the suction main pipe 1 on the patient's teeth. A locking mechanism is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed housing 6 near the negative pressure regulating housing 4, and a blocking pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the suction main pipe 1 near the side of the fixed housing 6. The locking mechanism can drive the first locking member 16 and the second locking member 17 to close inward, so as to press the blocking pipe 5 tightly.

[0034] The fixing mechanism comprises a fixing housing 6 fixedly connected to the fixing ring 3, a first motor 11 is arranged on the upper part of the side wall of the fixing housing 6, and a fixing component is arranged at the output end of the first motor 11;

[0035] The fixed assembly includes a rotating rod 13 provided at the output end of the first motor 11, and connecting rods 14 are symmetrically rotatably connected on both sides of the rotating rod 13, and a slider 15 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting rod 14 away from the rotating rod 13, and the slider 15 is slidably connected to the fixed housing 6, and a clamping member 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 15, and a rubber pad 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of the clamping member 10;

[0036] The locking mechanism includes a locking shell 9 fixedly connected to the fixed shell 6 near the side of the negative pressure regulating shell 4, a second motor 21 is arranged inside the locking shell 9, and a locking assembly is arranged at the output end of the second motor 21, and the locking assembly includes a first gear 19 arranged at the output end of the second motor 21, the first gear 19 is meshedly connected with the first locking piece 16, the first locking piece 16 is rotatably connected to the locking shell 9, a locking head 18 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first locking piece 16, a second gear 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the first gear 19 away from the second motor 21, the second gear 20 is rotatably connected to the locking shell 9, the second gear 20 is meshedly connected with the second locking piece 17, and the locking head 18 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the second locking piece 17.

[0037] In this embodiment, when in use, the personnel first insert the suction hose 2 through the patient's mouth into the nasopharynx, and then reach the sphenoid sinus. After the insertion is completed, the first motor 11 set on the fixed shell 6 can be started, and the first motor 11 can drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 13 can drive the connecting rods 14 rotatably connected on both sides to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 14 can drive the rotatably connected slider 15 to move along the fixed shell 6. The movement of the slider 15 can drive the clamping member 10 set at the bottom to move inward, so as to clamp the patient's teeth, so that the suction main tube 1 is fixed above the patient's teeth, which effectively improves the stability of the suction main tube 1 and the suction hose 2 when extracting blood in the nasopharynx or sphenoid sinus.

At this time, the personnel can discharge the obstruction in the suction hose 2 by injecting saline into the flushing tube 5, so that the suction hose 2 can be quickly restored to normal, which greatly reduces the time for dealing with the blockage in the suction hose 2 during the operation.

[0042] The adjustment component includes a third gear 25 arranged at the output end of the third motor 24, and the third gear 25 is meshed with transmission racks 26 on both sides.
