DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] As Figures 1-4 shown, a rotator cuff reverse suture device is provided, including a housing 1, a puncture needle 2 and a wire pushing rod 3. The housing 1 is a hollow structure and has a linear structure. The wire pushing rod 3 is arranged inside the housing 1 so that the wire pushing rod 3 can slide inside the housing 1. The wire pushing rod 3 is made of deformable stainless steel. The puncture needle 2 is an arc-shaped structure and is rotatably connected to one end of the housing 1. An adjusting block 4 is movably connected to the housing 1. A pull rod 5 is connected to the puncture needle 2. The pull rod 5 is threadedly connected to the adjusting block 4. The puncture needle 2 is pulled by the pull rod 5 to make the puncture needle 2 closely fixed to the housing 1. A handle sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 1.

[0022] An installation sleeve 7 is provided on the puncture needle 2. A first stepped groove 71 and a second stepped groove 72 are sequentially arranged in the installation sleeve 7. The end of the outer shell 1 extends into the first stepped groove 71 from the second stepped groove 72 and abuts against the first stepped groove 71. A first rotating member 73 is arranged between the second stepped groove 72 and the outer shell 1. The puncture needle 2 is installed at the front end of the outer shell 1 through the installation sleeve 7, and the puncture needle 2 can rotate around the outer shell 1 by means of the first rotating member 73, which is convenient for adjusting the puncture angle and the position of the puncture point.

[0023] A middle through hole 41 is provided on the adjusting block 4. The middle through hole 41 is connected to the outer shell 1 through a second rotating member 42, so that the adjusting block 4 can rotate around the outer shell 1.

[0024] In this example, the first rotating member 73 and the second rotating member 42 are bushings or bearings, preferably bearing structures, which are convenient for rotational adjustment.

[0025] A threaded sleeve 43 is movably connected to the adjusting block 4. A pull rod 5 passes through the threaded sleeve 43 and is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 43. A limit protrusion 44 is provided at one end of the threaded sleeve 43, and a rotating handle 45 is provided at the other end of the limit sleeve. The rotating handle 45 is a nut structure. The cooperation between the rotating handle 45 and the limit protrusion 44 axially limits and installs the threaded sleeve 43 on the adjusting block 4. By rotating the threaded sleeve 43, the position of the pull rod 5 is adjusted, so as to pull the puncture needle 2 by means of the pull rod 5, so that the puncture needle 2 is tightly attached to the outer shell 1, thereby fixing the puncture needle 2. At the same time, the function of the pull rod 5 can also prevent the adjusting block 4 from rotating relative to the outer shell 1, ensuring the stability of the puncture.

[0026] A notch groove 31 is provided at one end of the wire pushing rod 3, so that the suture is firmly fixed on the wire pushing rod 3. A wire winding disc 32 is installed at the other end of the wire pushing rod 3, and a wire locking device 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the wire pushing rod 3, so that the end of the suture is firmly wound on the wire winding disc 32 and fixed by the wire locking device 33.

[0027] The working principle is as follows: By rotatably connecting the puncture needle 2 with an arc-shaped structure at one end of the outer shell 1, it can puncture from the lower surface to the upper surface of the rotator cuff. Moreover, the puncture needle 2 is rotatably arranged, which is convenient for controlling the needle entry point and the needle exit point, and has a good suture effect. And the needle exits from the upper surface of the rotator cuff, which is convenient for clamping the suture, reduces the suture difficulty, provides convenience for the operation, is convenient for medical staff to operate, and improves the operation efficiency.

[0028] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above description is illustrative in nature and should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claims of the present invention.
