Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surgical robots, and particularly to a handheld release forceps with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable angle stiffness for arthroscopic surgery. Background Art

[0002] Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique widely used in the orthopedic field, such as hip labral repair, knee meniscectomy, and ligament reconstruction. Arthroscopic surgery completes complex diagnosis and treatment operations through the guidance and operation of arthroscopic instruments with extremely small incisions. With the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery, the design and optimization of arthroscopic surgical instruments have become the key to improving surgical efficiency and safety.

[0003] Currently, most of the surgical tools used in arthroscopic surgery, including release forceps, are rigid straight rod types. Their structure usually includes a handle, a transmission rod, and an end operating jaw. This design can stably complete the grasping, cutting, and release operations of soft tissues while ensuring rigid transmission. However, due to the limitations of the rigid structure, its flexibility is poor. Especially when facing the complex anatomical structure of the joint cavity, traditional release forceps often have difficulty reaching the blind area of vision, restricting the operation range of the surgery and increasing the surgical difficulty and time.

[0004] To solve the problem of insufficient flexibility of rigid instruments, in recent years, some improved release forceps have attempted to introduce an angle adjustment function. For example, by adding a single-degree-of-freedom joint at the end, allowing the jaw to rotate within a certain range [1]. This improved design enhances the flexibility of the instrument and enables it to adapt to more complex joint cavity structures. However, this single-degree-of-freedom adjustment design still faces the following limitations in practical applications: First, the adjustable angle range is small and cannot achieve multi-directional operation; second, there is a lack of a stiffness fixation mechanism during the surgery, and the instrument may loosen or shift during operation, thus affecting the accuracy of the operation.

[0005] In addition to the improvement of traditional rigid instruments, continuous robot technology has shown great potential in the field of endoscopic surgery in recent years. Such robots adopt flexible, rigid, or hybrid structures and achieve bending and precise positioning of complex paths through multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment. The rigid joint design and driving methods (such as wire driving) of continuous robots have continuously expanded their application scope in minimally invasive surgery. However, the existing continuous robot structures are mostly used in soft tissue surgeries such as the digestive tract or sinuses and have not been specifically optimized for the arthroscopic surgery scenario. In arthroscopic surgery, the instrument needs to have a high stiffness to complete the release operation, and at the same time, it needs to flexibly adjust the angle in a narrow anatomical space, which poses higher requirements for the rigid-flexible balance of continuous robots.

[0006] In view of the above background, the present invention proposes a hand-held relaxation forceps that can be manually adjusted in bending angle and can achieve fixed stiffness, which is suitable for arthroscopic surgery operations. Summary of the Invention

[0081] A high friction force is adopted between the pin and the jaw opening and closing drive wire 17, or a tooth shape is provided on the first pin 18 to ensure that the jaw opening and closing drive wire 17 can drive the first pin 18 to rotate. The first pin 18 is fixed to the upper jaw 19. In this way, the upper jaw 19 and the lower jaw 20 can be driven to open and close relatively through the first pin 18, and the front handle 16 rotates relative to the fixed shaft 30. In this way, it can be ensured that the front handle 16 can rotate to drive the jaw opening and closing drive wire 17 to transmit synchronously.
