Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fiber ring suture devices, in particular to a knot-free continuous fiber ring suture device. Background Art
[0002] Intervertebral disc herniation is one of the common clinical diseases, and the number of patients is increasing year by year. The most common cause of this disease is the degenerative changes of different degrees in the nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus and cartilage plate of various parts of the intervertebral disc, which lead to the rupture of the annulus fibrosus and the herniation of the nucleus pulposus under the action of external factors, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms such as low back pain or radiating pain in the lower limbs. In minimally invasive spinal surgery, medical staff usually make an incision on the human skin and set up a minimally invasive surgical channel (28mm in diameter * 50mm in depth) to reach the diseased intervertebral disc. Then the medical staff make a tiny incision (about 5-10mm) on the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc, and then use special minimally invasive surgical instruments to pass through the minimally invasive channel and the annulus fibrosus incision in turn to perform further surgical operations such as nucleus pulposus removal. The annulus fibrosus incision remaining after the nucleus pulposus removal traditionally has no suitable surgical machinery for effective suturing and closure, which lays a hidden danger for the recurrence of postoperative intervertebral disc herniation.
[0003] Existing annulus sutures use minimally invasive puncture technology to suture the rupture of the annulus fibrosus after discectomy to restore its integrity and prevent the residual nucleus pulposus from protruding again. The core steps of the existing annulus fibrosus suture operation include puncture, suture delivery, and in vitro knotting.
[0004] The existing suture device, publication number CN217244575U, is based on the principle that two separate sutures are fixed on both sides of the annulus fibrosus incision through an anchoring structure, and then the two separate sutures are knotted by knotting technology to close the annulus fibrosus incision. The existing problem is that it is impossible to achieve continuous knotting, and a double-stranded line is required. First, one knot is tied, and then the knot is tied twice in vitro and then a knot pusher is used to tie the knot. The efficiency is low, and the cooperation of three people is required, which increases the extra amount and the number of assistants, and requires tacit cooperation to tie a suitable knot. If you are not careful, you may need to start over, and in severe cases, it may cause a waste of the entire consumables; in addition, this deep tissue knotting technology based on two different sutures is very difficult, and it is difficult to tie the knot tightly. It is easy to have a loose knot, or in order to tighten the knot with force, the suture breaks or the anchoring structure slips out, and continuous suturing cannot be achieved.
[0005] Therefore, a knot-free continuous fiber ring suture device is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to overcome the above disadvantages, the present invention provides a knot-free continuous fiber ring suture device, comprising a Y-shaped wire rod assembly and a booster needle tube assembly;

[0008] The booster syringe combination includes a housing. Inside the housing, a ratchet mechanism and a pawl are arranged in the upper part; the pawl is connected to the ratchet mechanism by a spring. By controlling the pawl with fingers, the ratchet mechanism can be controlled. When the pawl catches the ratchet mechanism, the ratchet mechanism can only rotate in one direction. When the pawl does not catch the ratchet mechanism, the ratchet mechanism can rotate in two directions; a needle and a sleeve are fixed in the lower part of the housing. The sleeve is sleeved outside the needle, and both the upper and lower ends of the needle are exposed outside the sleeve;
[0009] A wire groove runs through the needle vertically. The Y-shaped wire rod combination passes through the wire groove. At the bottom end of the needle, the wire groove is provided with a needle hole which is oval-shaped and runs through the front and back; the rod of the lowermost Y-shaped wire rod combination passes through the needle hole, and the lowermost end of the needle is in a flat pointed shape.

[0018] The housing is provided with an L-shaped shift hole, which is matched with the shift block, and the L-shaped shift hole is divided into two upper and lower gears. When the shift block is shifted to the upper gear, the ratchet teeth of the pawl are stuck in the ratchet teeth in the inner groove of the ratchet disk, and the hand wheel can only rotate in one direction, so that the ratchet mechanism can only rotate in one direction; when the shift block is shifted to the lower gear, the ratchet teeth of the pawl are not stuck in the ratchet teeth in the inner groove of the ratchet disk, and the hand wheel is repeatedly rolled, so that the ratchet mechanism can rotate in two directions;

Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, at this time, the ratchet teeth of the pawl 7 are stuck in the ratchet teeth in the inner groove of the ratchet disk 42, so that the ratchet mechanism can only rotate in one direction, that is, it can only release the thread, and the needle 6 is inserted into the area to be sutured. At this time, the first rod 1 is anchored at the fiber ring to be sutured. At this time, the hand wheel 4 is rotated, and the wire winding groove 41 of the ratchet mechanism rotates, and the next rod 1 is put down and passed through the needle hole 62, and hung on one side of the needle hole 62 for use, and the suture of the next stitch is continued.
