Description

[0002] In the medical field, traditional rigid surgical instruments often encounter bottlenecks when facing the complex anatomy of the human body. The internal cavities and tissues of the human body are not regular geometric shapes, especially in the abdominal cavity, chest cavity and neurosurgery scenes, the narrow and irregular operating space makes it difficult for rigid instruments to flexibly reach the target site, and forced operation may also cause the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. With the deepening of the concept of minimally invasive, the flexible transformation of medical devices has become a trend. Single-joint flexible instruments have begun to stand out in this context. They can use their flexible properties to some extent to conform to the natural form of human tissues. For example, in laparoscopic surgery, single-joint flexible bipolar grasping forceps can more easily bypass obstacles such as the intestines to grasp target tissues, opening up new paths for minimally invasive surgery.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , now the single joint flexible bipolar grabber provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0051] A single joint flexible bipolar grabber, please refer to Figure 1 , comprising a clamp rod assembly, the front end of the clamp rod assembly is provided with a fixed tooth 1 and a moving tooth 2, the fixed tooth 1 is fixedly connected with the clamp rod assembly, the moving tooth 2 is hinged with the clamp rod assembly, the inside of the clamp rod assembly is provided with a flexible driving assembly, one end of the flexible driving assembly is connected with one end of the moving tooth 2, for driving the moving tooth 2 to rotate along the axis hinged with the clamp rod assembly, so that the moving tooth 2 approaches or moves away from the fixed tooth 1.

[0052] In the prior art, during head and neck surgery, the throat tissue fluctuates with respiratory movement, the nodule position changes in real time, and the doctor can hardly accurately capture the small target of nodule by relying on naked eye observation and experience to control the clamping instrument. The existing single joint flexible bipolar grabber has the clamping point located on the midline, the judgment of the midline position completely relies on the experience of the doctor during the operation, and the accuracy is not high, which not only prolongs the operation time and increases the risk of anesthesia for the patient, but also may cause damage to the surrounding normal tissue due to multiple misclamping.

[0053] The application is provided with a fixed tooth 1 and a moving tooth 2 at the front end of the forceps rod assembly, the fixed tooth 1 is fixedly connected with the forceps rod assembly, the moving tooth 2 is hingedly connected with the forceps rod assembly, the moving tooth 2 is driven to rotate by a flexible driving assembly, so that the moving tooth 2 is close to or away from the fixed tooth 1, and the opening and closing of the forceps are realized. In use, medical staff first contacts the lesion through the fixed tooth 1, and then controls the moving tooth 2 to clamp and close, so that the lesion is clamped. Since the clamping point of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps provided by the application is located at the fixed tooth 1, the problem that whether the clamping point is located on the center line needs to be judged for the existing flexible forceps is avoided, the experience of medical staff is not needed, the accuracy is higher, the micro target can be accurately captured, the operation time is shortened, and the anesthesia risk of the patient is reduced.

[0054] In some embodiments of the application, referring to Figures 2-4 , the forceps rod assembly comprises a forceps head base rod 3, the forceps head base rod 3 is fixedly connected with an insulating piece 11, the moving tooth 2 is hingedly connected with the insulating piece 11, and the fixed tooth 1 is fixedly connected with the forceps head base rod 3. The single-joint flexible bipolar forceps provided by the application can be electrified to realize the functions of an electric knife, grabbing and blood coagulation, remove the lesion and stop bleeding, and the moving tooth 2 can be insulated through the insulating piece 11 to prevent the two electrodes from contacting to cause electric leakage.

[0055] In some embodiments of the application, the insulating piece 11 is made of ceramic material, and in some other embodiments of the application, the insulating piece 11 can also be made of other insulating materials, which are not limited in the application.

[0056] In some embodiments of the application, referring to Figure 2 , the moving tooth 2 is hingedly connected with the insulating piece 11 through an insulating pin 13. The insulating effect can be further improved through the insulating pin 13.

[0057] In some embodiments of the application, the insulating pin 13 is made of ceramic material, and optionally, in some other embodiments of the application, the insulating pin 13 can also be made of other insulating materials, which are not limited in the application.

[0058] The applicant finds that the traditional clamping forceps also have the problem of weak clamping force, and often cannot be firmly fixed due to insufficient clamping force, it is difficult to ensure that the tissue is not clamped and injured, and it is difficult to accurately control the clamping force in a subtle balance, which seriously restricts the improvement of operation quality.

[0059] In order to solve the above problems, in some embodiments of the application, the diameter of the insulating pin 13 is 0.6-1mm.

[0060] The size of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps provided by an embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 5 In this embodiment, the diameter of the insulating pin 13 is 7mm, and the tail end tension and clamping force lever calculation relationship is as follows:

[0061] ;

[0062] From the above formula, F = 0.25F 拉 ; assuming that a clamping force of 10N is required, i.e. F = 10N, then a pulling force of F 拉 = 40N needs to be provided. The torsion generated at the position of the insulating pin 13 under a clamping force of 10N is , and the shear stress generated is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] The allowable stress of zirconium oxide ceramic is 1200MPa at 20℃, which is much greater than the shear stress received, so the insulating pin 13 with a diameter of 0.7mm can provide sufficient clamping force and is not easy to be sheared off, which can ensure that the tissue is not clamped and clamped firmly.

[0065] Alternatively, the diameter of the insulating pin 13 can be 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs, and the present application is not limited.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 2-4 , the flexible driving assembly comprises a movement push rod 7, a push-pull steel wire 8, a push-pull capillary tube 9 and a ball rod 10 which are sequentially fixedly connected, the movement push rod 7, the push-pull steel wire 8 and the push-pull capillary tube 9 are slidably arranged in the forceps lever assembly, and the end of the movement push rod 7 away from the push-pull steel wire 8 is hingedly connected with the movement tooth 2.

[0067] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in use, by pushing the ball rod 10 to the left, the ball rod 10 can drive the push-pull capillary tube 9, the push-pull steel wire 8 and the movement push rod 7 to move to the left, the movement push rod 7 drives the movement tooth 2 to rotate in the clockwise direction around the insulating pin 13, so that the movement tooth 2 is opened. Then the fixed tooth 1 contacts the lesion, the ball rod 10 moves to the right, the ball rod 10 can drive the push-pull capillary tube 9, the push-pull steel wire 8 and the movement push rod 7 to move to the right, the movement push rod 7 drives the movement tooth 2 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction around the insulating pin 13, so that the movement tooth 2 is closed, realizing clamping of the lesion.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the inner side of the forceps head base lever 3 and the end close to the insulating piece 11 are provided with an isolation layer 12, and the movement push rod 7 is located on the inner side of the isolation layer 12. By providing the isolation layer 12, insulation between the insulating piece 11 and the forceps head base lever 3 and between the movement push rod 7 and the forceps head base lever 3 can be achieved, avoiding electric leakage.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, referring toFigure 1 and Figure 2 The clamp rod assembly further comprises a flat spring 4, a fixed tube 5 and a fixed ring 6 connected in sequence, and the end of the flat spring 4 away from the fixed tube 5 is fixedly connected with the end of the jaw base rod 3 away from the fixed tooth 1.

[0070] In use, the fixed ring 6 can be connected with a support for fixing the entire grabber, and the ball rod 10 can be connected with a handle for pushing and pulling the ball rod 10 through the handle. The flat spring 4 can be stretched and bent, so that the single-joint flexible bipolar grabber can better adapt to the structure of the oral cavity or other surgical sites, facilitating the surgery. The ball rod 10 can also be connected with other power devices to provide power for pushing and pulling, and the fixed ring 6 can also be fixedly connected with a mechanical arm to be fixed on the mechanical arm and driven by the mechanical arm to move the single-joint flexible bipolar grabber to a corresponding pose, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 The push-pull capillary tube 9 is located on the inner side of the fixed ring 6 and is in sliding connection with the fixed ring 6, and the push-pull steel wire 8 passes through the fixed tube 5 and the flat spring 4 in sequence and is connected with the moving push rod 7.

[0072] The inside of the fixed tube 5, the flat spring 4 and the jaw base rod 3 is provided with a cavity with a diameter slightly larger than that of the push-pull steel wire 8 to limit the radial deformation of the push-pull steel wire 8, so that the push-pull steel wire 8 can transmit the pushing force and the pulling force. The push-pull capillary tube 9 is made of hard material and is in sliding connection with the fixed ring 6, and can transmit the pushing force and the pulling force to the push-pull steel wire 8 along the axial direction, and then the push-pull steel wire 8 transmits the pushing force and the pulling force to the moving push rod 7 to drive the moving tooth 2 to open or close.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 The single-joint flexible bipolar grabber comprises a first electrode and a second electrode that can be electrified, the first electrode is composed of the fixed tooth 1, the jaw base rod 3, the flat spring 4, the fixed tube 5 and the fixed ring 6, and the second electrode is composed of the moving tooth 2, the moving push rod 7, the push-pull steel wire 8, the push-pull capillary tube 9 and the ball rod 10.

[0074] In use, the first electrode can be electrified through the fixed ring 6, and the current passes through the fixed tube 5, the flat spring 4, the jaw base rod 3 to the fixed tooth 1 in sequence; the second electrode can be electrified through the ball rod 10, and the current passes through the push-pull capillary tube 9, the push-pull steel wire 8, the moving push rod 7 to the moving tooth 2 in sequence. After the fixed tooth 1 and the moving tooth 2 are electrified, not only can they be used for cutting with an electric knife, but also can they be used for grabbing and coagulating blood.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer side of the jaw base rod 3, the flat wire spring 4, the fixed tube 5, the fixed ring 6 is provided with an insulating layer (not shown in the figure). Since the jaw base rod 3, the flat wire spring 4, the fixed tube 5, the fixed ring 6 and the fixed tooth 1 are all electrified during use, as one of the electrodes, the insulating layer can prevent the jaw base rod 3, the flat wire spring 4, the fixed tube 5 and the fixed ring 6 from leaking electricity, causing the patient to be electrically injured.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer side of the moving tooth 2, the moving push rod 7, the push-pull steel wire 8, the push-pull capillary tube 9 and the ball rod 10 are provided with an insulating layer (not shown in the figure). During use, the moving tooth 2, the moving push rod 7, the push-pull steel wire 8, the push-pull capillary tube 9 and the ball rod 10 serve as the other electrode, and the insulating layer can prevent the two electrodes from contacting and causing a leakage.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the insulating layer on the fixed tooth 1 and the moving tooth 2 is 0.4mm, the creepage distance is small, and the fixed tooth 1 and the moving tooth 2 can be used to resect and stop bleeding of the lesion.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 6 , the front ends of the fixed tooth 1 and the moving tooth 2 are provided with clamping parts, the opposite sides of the two clamping parts are provided with interlocking teeth, and the two clamping parts are annular structures.

[0079] By setting the two clamping parts as annular structures, the contact area of the clamping parts can be reduced. Under the same clamping force, the contact area is reduced to improve the pressure per unit area and clamp the tissue more firmly without damaging the tissue.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the maximum opening angle of the moving tooth 2 is not less than 45°. This angle can meet the clamping needs of various lesions.

[0081] Referring to Figure 7 , the single-joint flexible bipolar grabber system provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described.

[0082] A single-joint flexible bipolar grabber system, comprising a control assembly, a power assembly and a single-joint flexible bipolar grabber as described above, wherein the control assembly is electrically connected with the power assembly, and the power assembly is connected with the jaw rod assembly of the single-joint flexible bipolar grabber.

[0083] Here, the control assembly is used to receive a control instruction and control the power assembly to output power to the jaw rod assembly according to the control instruction, so as to drive the pose change and the opening and closing of the moving tooth of the single-joint flexible bipolar grabber.

[0084] It can be understood that, since the forceps rod assembly includes the flexible driving assembly inside, the power assembly can control the pose change of the whole single-joint flexible bipolar forceps by controlling the forceps rod assembly, and can also control the opening and closing of the movement tooth by the flexible driving assembly inside the forceps rod assembly.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the control instruction can be the collected operator hand posture and / or pose change, etc.

[0086] In this way, the operation of the human hand can be simulated as much as possible, so that the manipulator is designed to be ergonomic, and the operator is convenient, without the need for the operator to relearn the control instruction, or the control mode is simplified, and the operator is facilitated to learn.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the control assembly controls the power assembly to output power to the forceps rod assembly according to the control instruction to drive the pose change of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps and the opening and closing of the movement tooth, which can include:

[0088] The control assembly converts the control instruction into the expected pose of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps and / or the expected range of the opening of the movement tooth and / or the closing information of the movement tooth, inputs the expected pose of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps into a preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps pose model when the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps has the expected pose, inputs the expected range of the opening of the movement tooth into a preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps jaw model when the movement tooth has the expected range of the opening, and controls the power assembly according to the pose control information and / or the power control information and / or the closing information of the movement tooth, respectively.

[0089] It can be understood that, since the pose control of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps is relatively complex, if it is calculated in real time on site, a large amount of computing power will be consumed, and a large time delay will be caused. Therefore, in the above embodiments, the preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps pose model and the preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps jaw model are used to calculate the pose control information of the power assembly controlling the pose of the forceps rod assembly and the power control information of the power assembly controlling the flexible driving assembly, so as to save the calculation steps, improve the calculation efficiency of the specific control information (including the pose control information of the power assembly controlling the pose of the forceps rod assembly and the power control information of the power assembly controlling the flexible driving assembly), and the preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps pose model and the preset single-joint flexible bipolar forceps jaw model are a virtual model constructed in advance, which should be the structure of the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps system, at least including the size of each device in the power assembly and the single-joint flexible bipolar forceps, etc., wherein the power assembly can be a combination of a mechanical arm and a motor, etc.

[0090] In addition, since the control instruction can be a control signal such as a gesture or a motion that does not directly control the power assembly, the control instruction needs to be converted before being used, and the conversion can be performed in various ways, such as a preset corresponding relationship.
