Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a suture device for dura mater at the skull base. Background Art

[0002] In neurosurgery, the dura mater serves as a crucial connective tissue barrier surrounding brain tissue, and the quality of its suture directly impacts the likelihood of postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracranial infection. For dura mater injuries in the skull base region, traditional craniotomy often carries a high risk of trauma due to the complex anatomy and limited operating space. Therefore, in recent years, intranasal dura mater suturing techniques have been widely adopted due to their minimally invasive and precise nature. The intranasal approach, which reaches the skull base through the natural cavities of the nasal cavity, avoids tissue damage caused by craniotomy, aligning with the development trend of minimally invasive procedures in modern neurosurgery.

[0003] However, the existing intranasal dura mater suturing technology has significant defects at the operational level. The current mainstream method requires the suture to be tied outside the nose, and then the knot is pushed to the suture site inside the nose through an instrument. This suturing method of knotting outside the body and sliding inside the body has obvious shortcomings: on the one hand, the knotting force is difficult to control accurately, which can easily lead to excessive squeezing of the dura mater tissue or loose suture; on the other hand, the knot may shift or loosen during the sliding process, causing suture position deviation, seriously affecting the airtightness and healing effect of the dura mater. In addition, repeatedly pushing the knot may also cause secondary tissue damage and increase the risk of surgical complications. There is an urgent need for a skull base dura mater suture device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0021] The present invention provides a suturing device for the dura mater of the skull base. The device is provided with a rotating assembly. Medical personnel can drive the first rotating column by rotating the handle. The meshing transmission of the first gear plate and the second gear plate drives the second worm on the second rotating column to rotate, thereby driving the second worm wheel to link with the rotating seat, so that the suturing head can achieve ±90° angle adjustment around the rotating axis within the range of the U-shaped groove. At the same time, the multi-stage gear transmission system cooperates with the self-locking characteristics of the worm and worm wheel, which can not only accurately control the direction of the suturing head, but also lock the position at any angle, effectively solving the problem of limited field of view during deep skull base operations. The clamping assembly adopts an X-shaped cross structure of the first movable rod and the second movable rod. When the bidirectional screw rotates under the drive of the third worm wheel and the third worm, the two side frustum blocks move toward each other along the U-shaped rod, pushing the movable rod to open and drive the clamping block to clamp the dura mater. The buffer design of the second spring can automatically compensate for tissue deformation, avoiding vascular compression or tissue tearing caused by excessive clamping force, and is more flexible and adaptable than traditional tweezers.

[0022] The present invention provides a suturing device for the dura mater of the skull base, which realizes timed operation through a displacement component and a stapling component driven by a motor. When the motor is started, the first gear fan on the third rotating rod first engages with the first driven gear, driving the first threaded screw to rotate, so that the first threaded sleeve pushes the slider along the sliding rod through the reinforcing rod, thereby being able to move the suturing seat forward, applying a pre-stretching force to the area of ​​the dura mater to be sutured, forming a tension gap, thereby facilitating the precise penetration of the suture nail, and avoiding the situation where the dura mater cannot be effectively sutured. As the motor continues to rotate, until the first gear fan is separated from the driven gear, the second gear fan immediately engages with the second driven gear, driving the first worm on the fourth rotating rod to rotate, and driving the second threaded screw downward through the first worm gear, so that the second threaded sleeve and the guide block synchronously push the pressure roller, and the suture nail pushed to the compression gap by the first spring in the storage groove is pressed at a 90° vertical angle, thereby achieving fast and efficient suturing of the dura mater.

[0055] In summary, with the help of the above technical solution of the present invention, when in use, the medical staff inserts the device through the nasal cavity, reaches the dura mater to be sutured under the guidance of the nasal endoscope, drives the rotating assembly by turning the handle 3, and utilizes the meshing transmission of the first rotating column 9, the first gear plate 10 and the second gear plate 11 to drive the second worm 59 on the second rotating column 12 to rotate, thereby driving the second worm wheel 58 and the rotating seat 57 to rotate, so that the suture head 5 is adjusted to a suitable angle around the rotating shaft 8 within the range of the U-shaped groove 6. This design achieves precise angle adjustment through multi-stage gear transmission, and the self-locking characteristics of the worm gear can ensure stable position and adapt to the complex anatomical structure of the skull base;

[0056] Then, turning the handle 3 drives the first bevel gear 14 on the third rotating column 15 to mesh with the sixth bevel gear 60, which is transmitted to the fifth bevel gear 32 through the second rotating rod 30, the fourth bevel gear 31, and the third bevel gear 29, driving the receiving tube 16 and the inner sleeve column 33 to rotate, so that the third worm 66 drives the third worm gear 62 to rotate, and then the bidirectional screw rod 64 rotates, and the frustum blocks 41 on both sides move toward each other along the U-shaped rod 63, pushing the first movable rod 22 and the second movable rod 23 arranged in the X shape to open, driving the clamping block 20 to clamp the two sides of the dura mater, and the second spring 65 can buffer the clamping force to avoid excessive squeezing of the tissue and ensure the stability of the tissue during suturing. Then start the motor 44, and the first gear fan 45 on the third rotating rod 46 meshes with the first driven gear 48, so that the first threaded screw rod 36 rotates, and the first threaded sleeve 38 drives the slider 35 and the slide rod 39 to slide through the reinforcing rod 37, pushing the suturing seat 7 to move, The meninges to be sutured are appropriately stretched to facilitate the precise penetration of the suture nail 19 through the tissue. When the first gear sector 45 is separated from the first driven gear 48, the second gear sector 47 engages the second driven gear 51, driving the first worm 49 on the fourth rotating rod 50 to rotate, driving the first worm gear 53 and the second threaded screw 68 to rotate, and the second threaded sleeve 70 moves downward along the guide column 67, and pushes the pressure roller 54 to slide in the through groove 56 through the sliding column, pressing the suture nail 19 pushed to the compression gap 61 in the storage groove 18 by the first spring 43 and the push plate 52, so that it passes through the dura mater and is fixed. In this way, the orderly linkage of various components can realize the flexible adjustment of the suture angle, the stable clamping and pre-stretching of the tissue, and the automatic pushing and pressing of the suture nail 19, which effectively improves the operational convenience and safety of the skull base dura mater suturing, reduces the risk of tissue damage during surgery, and ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the suturing process.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
