DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0017] Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, as people's living standards continue to improve, the number of obese patients is increasing, and the number of patients with BMI index greater than 35 in obstetric anesthesia is increasing. The existing epidural puncture needle has certain limitations in terms of length and shape.
[0018] Because the fat layer of the parturient woman is too thick, sometimes the existing puncture needle cannot enter the epidural space even if it enters the skin completely, resulting in puncture failure; therefore, in the presence of an anesthesia assistant, most of the time, the assistant needs to use a lot of force to push the fat layer so that the puncture needle can penetrate deeper, because the fat layer is too thick, the puncture needle is easily ejected from the skin after the pushing force is released, so repeated puncture reduces patient satisfaction and greatly increases the puncture failure rate; in most cases, without the support of ultrasound, anesthesia is mostly performed by one person alone without an assistant, at this time, without a suitable pushing force, puncture failure can also occur, and it is not convenient to operate while pushing and controlling the puncture needle to puncture, and it is also easy to cause puncture failure due to insufficient pushing force.
[0019] Therefore, the applicant wants to add a fixer that can move and fix the skin at will to the existing epidural puncture needle tail wing part, so that the fat layer can be pushed and fixed to some extent, so that the anesthesiologist can better focus on the puncture itself; therefore, the following design is made: Please refer toFigures 1-5 An auxiliary device for facilitating epidural puncture includes a pushing assembly 6, which includes a U-shaped rod, a movable plate 65, and a pressure frame 66. The movable plate 65 is slidably mounted on the U-shaped rod, and the pressure frame 66 is slidably and detachably mounted above the movable plate 65. Pushing rods 67 are slidably sleeved on both sides of the pressure frame 66. Several fixing straps 61 are detachably mounted on the U-shaped rod.
[0020] In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement of the push rod 67, the push rod 67 is adjusted to both sides of the skin puncture site, and the following design is adopted: The U-shaped rod includes a mounting plate 63 and two support rods 62. The two support rods 62 are fixedly connected by the mounting plate 63 to form a U-shaped structure; the movable plate 65 slides along the support rods 62, and a movable screw 64 is provided on the mounting plate 63. The movable screw 64 is threaded through the mounting plate 63 and rotatably connected to the movable plate 65. By rotating the movable screw 64, the sliding of the movable plate 65 is controlled, which drives the pressure frame 66 to move, and adjusts the position of the push rod 67 to both sides of the puncture point.
[0021] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the fixing strap 61 and for cleaning, the following design is made: slots 621 are provided on both the front and rear ends of the support rod 62, and a plug is fixedly provided on one end of the fixing strap 61. The fixing strap 61 is installed on the support rod 62 by the cooperation of the plug and the slot 621.
[0022] In this embodiment, to facilitate the adjustment of the pressure of the push rod 67 on the skin and to fix the skin after pushing, the following design is made: a downward screw 68 is rotatably provided above the moving plate 65, and the rear end of the pressure frame 66 is threaded onto the downward screw 68. By rotating the downward screw 68, the sliding of the pressure frame 66 is controlled, thereby driving the push rod 67 to move down and press on both sides of the puncture point, squeezing the fat, reducing the distance from the skin surface to the spinal canal, so that the puncture needle can reach the puncture site.
[0023] In this embodiment, to simulate the clinical procedure of pressing and pushing the fat layer skin outward with the thumb and forefinger, and also to adjust the distance between the two push rods 67, the following design is implemented: a push-opening screw 69 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the pressure frame 66, and a slider 610 is threaded onto the push-opening screw 69; a sliding sleeve 671 is fixedly mounted on the rear end of the push rod 67, and the sliding sleeve 671 is slidably fitted onto both sides of the front end of the pressure frame 66; a connecting rod 611 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the slider 610, and one end of the connecting rod 611 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 671. By rotating the push-opening screw 69, the slider 610 is moved downward, which drives the connecting rod 611 to drive the push rods 67 on both sides to slide synchronously in opposite directions, adjusting the distance between the two push rods 67, and also driving the two push rods 67 to slide in opposite directions to push away the skin around the compressed puncture point.
[0024] In this embodiment, the U-shaped rod can be fixed on the skin by the fixing belt 61; the position of the pushing rod 67 can be adjusted to the sides of the puncture point by rotating the moving screw 64 to drive the moving plate 65; the pushing rod 67 can be moved downward to press the sides of the puncture point by rotating the lower pressing screw 68 to drive the pressing frame 66 to move; and the distance between the two pushing rods 67 can be adjusted by rotating the pushing screw, and the two pushing rods 67 can be driven to slide away from each other to push the skin around the puncture point, thereby reducing the distance from the skin surface to the spinal canal, so that the puncture needle can reach the puncture site, and the pushing assembly 6 can free both hands for easy control of the puncture needle.
[0025] Embodiment 2: According to the method of fixing the pushing assembly 6 on the body by the fixing belt 61 provided in embodiment 1, another method of fixing the pushing assembly 6 is provided in this embodiment.
[0026] Therefore, the application adds a fixer that can move and fix the skin at will to the part of the tail wing of the existing epidural puncture needle, so that the fat layer can be pushed and fixed to some extent, and the anesthesiologist can pay more attention to the puncture itself; therefore, the following design is made: Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a device for facilitating epidural puncture, further comprising a fixing assembly, the fixing assembly comprising a U-shaped fixing frame 1, a fixing plate 2, and a fixing screw 3, the fixing plate 2 being located in the U-shaped fixing frame 1, and the fixing screw 3 being threadedly connected with the fixing plate 2 movably through the U-shaped fixing frame 1; a support column 4 being slidably arranged on the U-shaped fixing frame 1, and an adjusting rod 5 being fixedly arranged at the upper end of the support column 4; the support column 4 and the adjusting rod 5 both being of telescopic structure; a sliding groove 11 being formed in the U-shaped fixing frame 1, and the lower end of the support column 4 sliding along the sliding groove 11; a connecting cylinder 631 being fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 63, and one end of the adjusting column being inserted into the connecting cylinder 631, and a screw being arranged on the connecting cylinder 631 to restrict the adjusting column in the connecting cylinder 631 by tightening the screw.
[0027] In this embodiment, by tightening the fixing screw 3, the fixing plate 2 can be clamped and fixed on the bedside together with the U-shaped fixing frame 1, and the horizontal and vertical positions of the pushing assembly 6 can be adjusted to the puncture point by sliding and telescoping the support column 4, and the pushing assembly 6 can be tightly attached to the skin by telescoping the adjusting rod 5, so as to realize the fixation of the pushing assembly 6 without the need for hand holding.
