Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of orthopedic medical devices, and particularly to a quick-clamping and locking rod-pressing gun-type reduction forceps. Background Art

[0002] In spinal medical surgeries, gun-type reduction forceps are mainly used for reducing and fixing bones, connecting rods, etc. in orthopedic surgeries. For example, in spinal surgeries, the gun-type reduction forceps can be used to press the connecting rod into a suitable position so that it can be accurately connected with fixing elements such as pedicle screws to support or keep each bone joint in the correct position.

[0003] Traditional reduction forceps lack a positioning structure that matches the nail cap in spinal surgeries, and it is necessary to specifically find a specific position to hold the nail, and multiple people need to cooperate in the operation. This results in limited vision and difficult positioning during rod pressing, affecting the locking effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A quick-clamping and locking rod-pressing gun-type reduction forceps includes a housing, an inner shaft, elastic arms, and a handle, wherein:

[0007] The housing is axially through, and a nail-rod avoidance hole is axially provided at one end of the housing;

[0008] One end of the inner shaft penetrates into the inner cavity of the housing, and the inner shaft is axially through;

[0009] The elastic arms are arranged on the housing. The elastic arms include a first spring, a leaf spring, a tapered block, and a pin shaft. A receiving hole is provided on the housing. The middle of the leaf spring is hinged in the receiving hole through the pin shaft. One end of the leaf spring is connected to one end of the first spring, and the other end of the first spring is connected to the narrow end of the tapered block. The tapered block is received in a tapered hole opened on the housing. The other end of the leaf spring presses downward toward the receiving hole under the elastic force of the first spring;

[0010] The handle is arranged at the end of the housing away from the elastic arms. The handle includes a fixed handle and a movable handle. The fixed handle is fixed to the housing. The movable handle is hinged to the fixed handle, and one end of the movable handle penetrates into the interior of the housing and contacts the inner shaft. When the movable handle is held and moved closer to the fixed handle, it pushes the inner shaft to move into the inner cavity of the housing;

[0011] In use, S1: Confirm that the pedicle screw has been implanted into the patient's spine, initially place the rod on the slot of the screw seat, select a quick-clamping locking rod-pressing gun-type reduction forceps that matches the size of the screw seat, the rod passes through the rod avoidance hole, the screw seat contacts the elastic arm and enters the inside of the elastic arm, and is clamped by the elastic arm;
