Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thyroid surgery instruments, and in particular to a special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions. Background Art
[0002] During an open thyroid resection surgery, the surgical field needs to be fully exposed after opening the neck incision. In the prior art, a special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions is generally used. Generally, the person holding the retractor needs to be located at the head end of the patient, and hold a thyroid retractor in each hand, one pulling towards the head end and the other pulling open the anterior strap muscles. It is not convenient to fix and requires two people to cooperate simultaneously. This not only affects the surgical efficiency, but also the retractor is prone to cause damage to the thyroid and other parts during the lifting process.
[0003] For this reason, the Chinese patent with the publication number "CN221865812U" discloses "a special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions". Its main structure includes a first retractor and a second retractor. First fixing plates and second fixing plates are symmetrically distributed in a staggered manner on the opposite surfaces of the first retractor and the second retractor. A chute is penetratingly opened on the second fixing plate; for this special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions, through the combined use of the chute, the threaded rod and the nut, the distance between the first retractor and the second retractor can be conveniently adjusted, which is beneficial to increasing the stability when the first retractor and the second retractor are connected. When the threaded rod and the nut are accidentally touched, the distance between the first retractor and the second retractor will not be adjusted, thus avoiding affecting the operation of medical staff and preventing certain harm to the patient. Moreover, by sliding the threaded rod on the chute, the distance between the first retractor and the second retractor can be adjusted arbitrarily.
[0004] However, when the above-mentioned special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions is actually used, it needs to be clamped at the patient's incision, which will undoubtedly cause a relatively serious visual field obstruction to the surgical operation space of medical staff. Moreover, when the device is clamped at the incision, the gravity of the device itself will cause the patient's incision to sink inward, easily resulting in the phenomenon that the device touches the internal organs, and there are relatively large potential safety hazards in the work. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a special retractor for thyroid surgery incisions, including a hook 1 with a first fixed plate 2 provided at one end and capable of pulling the patient's incision. First, take two such devices, and then fixedly install the fixed bases 41 of the two devices on both sides of the patient's operating table respectively. When the patient completes the surgical incision, the hook 1 is stuck at the incision.
[0023] In order to provide a controllable elastic pulling force on the patient's incision, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, it is necessary to set up a controllable pulling mechanism 3, which internally has a hollow rod 31 with a hollow state inside, a first inner movable plate 35 and a second inner movable plate 36 placed inside the hollow rod 31 and capable of moving along the axial direction of the hollow rod 31, a spiral spring 37 placed between the first inner movable plate 35 and the second inner movable plate 36 and capable of providing elastic tension, a wire 310 that drives the hook 1 to move directionally as the second inner movable plate 36 moves, and a first outer threaded rod 38 that can drive the first inner movable plate 35 to move when rotating, thereby changing the elastic tension of the spiral spring 37. When the rotating cap 39 is rotated, due to the connection of the thread structure, the first outer threaded rod 38 will drive the first inner movable plate 35 to move, thereby changing the distance between the first inner movable plate 35 and the second inner movable plate 36, and further changing the elastic tension of the spiral spring 37 at this time, realizing the controllability of the elastic pressure. The elastic force of the spiral spring 37 can be transmitted to the hook 1 through the wire 310, realizing the elastic tension on the patient's incision.
[0024] For the specific structure of the controllable pulling mechanism 3, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , including a hollow rod 31. A columnar component activity cavity 32 is arranged inside the hollow rod 31. One end of the hollow rod 31 is provided with a first inner threaded hole 33 connecting the external space and one end face of the columnar component activity cavity 32. The other end of the hollow rod 31 is provided with a rod body through hole 34 connecting the external space and the other end face of the columnar component activity cavity 32. Inside the hollow rod 31 and located inside the columnar component activity cavity 32, a first inner movable plate 35 and a second inner movable plate 36 are placed, which can move along the axial direction of the columnar component activity cavity 32. A spiral spring 37 is fixedly installed between the first inner movable plate 35 and the second inner movable plate 36. One end face of the first inner movable plate 35 facing the first inner threaded hole 33 is installed with a rotatable first outer threaded rod 38 through a bearing. The rod body of the first outer threaded rod 38 is installed inside the first inner threaded hole 33 through a first thread structure, and one end of the first outer threaded rod 38 located outside the hollow rod 31 is provided with a rotating cap 39. One end face of the second inner movable plate 36 facing the rod body through hole 34 is fixedly installed with a wire 310 passing through the rod body through hole 34. One end of the wire 310 is fixedly installed with a second fixed plate 311 fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 2. The first thread structure includes an inner thread structure arranged in the first inner threaded hole 33 and an outer thread structure arranged on the rod body of the first outer threaded rod 38, and the inner thread structure matches the outer thread structure.
[0025] In order to adjust the required position of the hook 1 according to different patients, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6, it is necessary to set up a horizontal distance adjusting mechanism 4, which internally has a moving mounting base 45 that can be installed on the two side edges of the operating bed and can drive the hollow rod 31 to move along the length direction of the bed body, a second external threaded rod 43 that can drive the moving mounting base 45 to move directionally when rotating, and a horizontal limiting rod 42 that can prevent the moving mounting base 45 from rotating. According to the orientation of the patient's incision, rotate the handwheel 44. At this time, due to the connection of the threaded structure, the rotation of the second external threaded rod 43 will cause the moving mounting base 45 to have a directional displacement, thereby driving the hollow rod 31 to move to both sides of the patient's incision. During the pulling process, since the ball head 411 can rotate inside the hemispherical housing 49, the hollow rod 31 can point to the patient's incision, so as to improve the working stability of the device.
[0026] Regarding the specific structure of the horizontal distance adjusting mechanism 4, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , including two symmetrical fixed bases 41 and a moving mounting base 45. A rotatable second external threaded rod 43 is installed between the two fixed bases 41 through a bearing and a horizontal limiting rod 42 is fixedly installed. The moving mounting base 45 is provided with a second internal threaded hole 47 connected to the second external threaded rod 43 through a second threaded structure and a limiting sliding hole 46 that can slide along the rod body of the horizontal limiting rod 42. The upper surface of the moving mounting base 45 is fixedly installed with a longitudinal support rod 48. The top of the longitudinal support rod 48 is provided with a hemispherical housing 49 integrally structured with it. The upper half of the hemispherical housing 49 is provided with a spherical cavity 410 with an open top. A rotatable ball head 411 is placed in the spherical cavity 410. The upper spherical surface of the ball head 411 is provided with a longitudinal connecting rod 412 integrally structured with it. The top of the longitudinal connecting rod 412 is provided with a fixing sleeve 413 integrally structured with it and fixedly installed on the outer surface of the hollow rod 31. One end of the second external threaded rod 43 is fixedly installed with a handwheel 44. The second threaded structure includes an internal threaded structure arranged in the second internal threaded hole 47 and an external threaded structure arranged on the rod body of the second external threaded rod 43, and the internal threaded structure matches the external threaded structure. The structural radius of the spherical cavity 410 matches the structural radius of the ball head 411, and the depth of the spherical cavity 410 is greater than the structural radius of the ball head 411 and less than the structural diameter of the ball head 411.
[0027] In use, first take two of these devices, and then fixedly install the fixed bases 41 of the two devices on both sides of the patient's operating table respectively. According to the orientation of the patient's incision, rotate the hand crank 44. At this time, due to the connection of the threaded structure, the rotation of the second outer threaded rod 43 will cause the moving mounting seat 45 to undergo a directional displacement, thereby driving the hollow rod 31 to move to both sides of the patient's incision. When the patient completes the surgical incision, hook the retractor 1 at the incision, and rotate the rotating cap 39. Due to the connection of the threaded structure, the first outer threaded rod 38 will drive the first inner movable plate 35 to move, thereby changing the distance between the first inner movable plate 35 and the second inner movable plate 36, and further changing the elastic tension of the spiral spring 37 at this time, realizing the controllability of the elastic pressure. The elastic force of the spiral spring 37 can be transmitted to the retractor 1 through the wire 310, realizing the elastic tension on the patient's incision.
[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
