AI Technical Summary
In current spinal surgery, the insertion of the depth gauge relies on the doctor's experience and imaging guidance, which leads to inaccurate insertion angle and depth. This may cause damage to soft tissue or nerve structures due to excessively rapid insertion, and uneven insertion speed may cause positional deviation, increasing the risk of postoperative complications. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to tool breakage or prolonging the operation time.
The device employs a guiding insertion mechanism, including an angle adjustment assembly, a buffer damper, and a locking clamp. The angle adjustment assembly precisely controls the insertion angle, the buffer damper provides a uniform insertion force, and the locking clamp ensures stable insertion of the depth gauge. Combined with a pressure sensor and a terminal controller, it achieves automated clamping, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the insertion process.
This allows for uniform insertion of the depth gauge, avoiding damage to soft tissue or nerve structures, extending the tool's lifespan, and improving the efficiency and safety of posterior spinal expansion surgery.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of posterior spinal dilation, in particular to a posterior spinal dilation channel assembly and a method for using the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The posterior spinal dilation channel assembly is a medical instrument used in spinal surgery, mainly used to reduce the damage to the surrounding tissues during surgery, and to provide a good view and operating space. It is commonly used in spinal surgery, such as discectomy, spinal fixation or other spinal correction surgery. Figure 2 and Figure 17 As shown, the posterior spinal dilation channel assembly is composed of a dilation channel, a step-by-step distraction sleeve (optional), a positioning needle, a positioning plate, and a depth gauge. The method for using the same is to first determine the incision position using the positioning needle and the positioning plate. After the incision is made by the surgeon, the depth gauge is manually inserted, then the step-by-step distraction sleeve is inserted to gradually expand, and finally the dilation channel is inserted and the distraction sleeve is removed to establish a working channel.
[0003] Currently, the insertion of the depth gauge in spinal surgery usually relies on the experience of the surgeon and image-guided techniques (such as C-arm X-ray, CT, etc.). It depends on the operating precision of the surgeon and the real-time image. Although image-guided techniques can provide real-time feedback, manual operation still largely depends on the experience of the surgeon. Small hand tremors may result in insufficient accuracy of the insertion angle and depth of the depth gauge, and manual operation makes it difficult to perform uniform insertion movements. When inserting instruments such as depth gauges and distraction sleeves, the following problems may occur:
[0004] 1. Too fast insertion may exert excessive pressure on the soft tissues or nerve structures around the incision, increasing the risk of postoperative complications, which may cause bleeding, infection or nerve damage;
[0005] 2. Non-uniform insertion speed may cause the angle of the depth gauge to change during insertion, causing the position to shift, which may affect the accuracy of the positioning of the target structure, making subsequent surgical steps difficult;
[0006] 3. If uneven force is applied during insertion, it may cause the depth gauge to break or bend, requiring reinsertion, prolonging the operation time and increasing the risk to the patient;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which should be understood as merely illustrative and explanatory, and not as limiting the present application.

[0047] The angle adjusting assembly comprises a connecting seat 121, the connecting seat 121 can be installed on the positioning plate 111, a rotating seat 122 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the connecting seat 121, a U-shaped rod 131 is rotatably installed on the rotating seat 122, connecting columns 132 are installed on the top surface of both ends of the U-shaped rod 131, and a limiting mechanism is arranged on one side of the U-shaped rod 131;
[0048] The buffer damper comprises an adjusting base 151, the adjusting base 151 is installed on the top surface of the connecting column 132, a damping sleeve 156 is installed on the top surface of the adjusting base 151, a piston 162 is installed in the damping sleeve 156, a pressing rod 161 is installed on the top surface of the piston 162, damping air holes 158 are arranged around the bottom of the damping sleeve 156, and an air outlet adjusting mechanism is arranged on the top surface of the adjusting base 151;
[0049] The locking clamp comprises a top support 171, the top support 171 is installed on the upper end of the pressing rod 161, a clamping mechanism is installed on the upper part of the top support 171, a hand support 172 is installed on the lower part of the top support 171, and a pressure sensor 173 and a terminal controller are installed on the hand support 172.
[0050] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the materials of the dilated channel 193 and the step-by-step dilated sleeve 192 are medical POM, the dilated channel 193 and the step-by-step dilated sleeve 192 have multiple sizes, the material of the positioning needle 112 is medical stainless steel, the materials of the depth gauge 191 are medical POM and medical stainless steel, the depth gauge 191 and the step-by-step dilated sleeve 192 are provided with scale marks on the surfaces, the positioning plate 111 is made of medical silicone rubber and barium sulfate, the positioning plate 111 is provided with an opening for inserting the positioning needle 112, the positioning needle 112 and the depth gauge 191 are provided with protective caps on the tip parts, the protective caps are made of medical silicone rubber, and the positioning plate 111, the positioning needle 112, the depth gauge 191, the step-by-step dilated sleeve 192 and the dilated channel 193 are all sterile products for one-time use;
[0051] The connector 121 is made of medical-grade stainless steel. The surface of the medical-grade stainless steel has an opening for inserting the positioning pin 112. The connector 121 also has a threaded hole for installing an auxiliary support frame. Because some people have a thick fat layer on their back, the stability of the connector 121 when installed on the positioning plate 111 is poor. The auxiliary support frame extends to both sides of the human body and is fixedly connected to the operating table to achieve the effect of stabilizing the connector 121.
[0052] The connecting seat 121 is installed on the positioning plate 111. The insertion angle is adjusted by rotating the U-shaped rod 131 and triggering the limiting mechanism. The downward pressure resistance is controlled by rotating the air volume adjustment mechanism. Then, the depth measuring rod 191 is held and the hand is placed on the hand support 172 and pressed up and down. At the same time, the pressure sensor 173 is triggered to activate the clamping mechanism to clamp the upper end of the depth measuring rod 191. During the downward pressing process, the pressing rod 161 drives the piston 162 to compress the air in the damping sleeve 156 and provide upward resistance, so that the depth measuring rod 191 is inserted downward at a uniform speed. Then, the operation is repeated to insert the step-by-step expansion sleeve 192 and expansion channel 193 in sequence, so as to assist the doctor in accurately controlling the insertion angle and depth, and to keep the insertion action at a uniform speed, avoiding damage to soft tissue or nerve structures caused by excessively rapid insertion, or damage to tools such as the depth measuring rod, extending the service life of each component, and improving the efficiency and safety of posterior spinal expansion surgery.
[0053] Example 2, as Figure 7 - Figure 10 As shown, a posterior spinal expansion channel assembly includes Embodiment 1. Furthermore, two connecting seats 121 are mounted on the positioning plate 111. A U-shaped rod 131 has protrusions at both ends, which are rotatably connected to rotating seats 122 on the two connecting seats 121. A first elastic retaining ring 133 is mounted on the outer wall of the protrusions at both ends of the U-shaped rod 131. A first elastic card 123 is mounted on the inner wall of the rotating seat 122. An elastic protrusion that engages with the first elastic card 123 is provided on the inner wall of the first elastic retaining ring 133. The limiting mechanism includes a sleeve 141, which is mounted on one of the rotating seats 122. A slider 142 is slidably mounted inside the sleeve 141. A locking plug 143 is mounted on one end of the slider 142 near the rotating seat 122, and a pull ring 144 is mounted on the other end. A locking slot 135 is provided on the protrusion at one end of the U-shaped rod 131, and an adjustment knob 134 is mounted on the other end. The locking plug 143 can be inserted into the locking slot 135.
[0054] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that the first elastic card 123 is an elastic spring. The first elastic card 123 is bent and installed on the inner wall of the turntable 122. The elastic protrusion on the inner wall of the first elastic ring 133 is also made of an elastic spring. When the first elastic ring 133 rotates, the elastic protrusion on the inner wall will press the first elastic card 123 to deform it. When the first elastic ring 133 stops rotating, the first elastic card 123 engages with the elastic protrusion to achieve the effect of controlling the rotation of the first elastic ring 133 and at the same time, the effect of limiting the rotation angle of the U-shaped rod 131 is achieved.
[0055] The surface of the adjustment knob 134 is provided with anti-slip protrusions, and the adjustment knob 134 is also provided with a pointer. The surface of the rotating base 122 near the adjustment knob 134 is provided with a scale. By adjusting the pointer on the knob 134 and the scale on the surface of the rotating base 122, the rotation angle of the U-shaped rod 131 can be intuitively known.
[0056] The locking slot 135 adopts a radial tip structure. The angle of each radial tip of the locking slot 135 corresponds to the limiting rotation angle of the first elastic retaining ring 133. That is to say, when the first elastic retaining ring 133 and the U-shaped rod 131 rotate to any angle, the locking slot 135 has a tip that points vertically upward, so that the locking plug 143 can be smoothly inserted. The protruding shape of the locking plug 143 is the same as the concave shape of the locking slot 135. The slider 142 is provided with grooves on both sides, and the inner wall of the sleeve 141 is provided with protrusions, so that the slider 142 can only slide horizontally along the protrusions on the inner wall of the sleeve 141. The slider 142 will not rotate on the inner wall of the sleeve 141. The pull ring 144 can help the user to pull out or push the locking plug 143 more conveniently. By pushing the locking plug 143 into the locking slot 135, the effect of locking the rotation angle of the U-shaped rod 131 is achieved.
[0057] Example 3, as Figure 11 - Figure 13 As shown, a posterior spinal expansion channel assembly includes Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the air volume adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment ring 154, which is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of a damping sleeve 156. A second elastic retaining ring 153 is installed at the bottom of the adjustment ring 154, and the second elastic retaining ring 153 is embedded in the top surface of an adjustment base 151. The second elastic retaining ring 153 is rotatably mounted on the adjustment base 151. A second elastic card 152 is provided on the inner wall of the groove into which the top surface of the adjustment base 151 is embedded. An elastic protrusion that engages with the second elastic card 152 is provided on the outer wall of the second elastic retaining ring 153. A spring 163 is installed inside the damping sleeve 156, and the upper end of the spring 163 is connected to the bottom of a piston 162. A limit protrusion 157 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the damping sleeve 156. A sealing block 155 is installed on the inner wall of the adjustment ring 154, and the sealing block 155 is in close contact with the outer wall of the damping sleeve 156, capable of closing the damping air hole 158.
[0058] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the second elastic card 152 is an elastic spring, and the second elastic card 152 is bent and installed in the inner wall of the adjusting base 151. The elastic protrusion of the outer wall of the second elastic snap ring 153 is also made of an elastic spring. When the second elastic snap ring 153 rotates, the elastic protrusion of the outer wall will press the second elastic card 152 to deform. When the rotation of the second elastic snap ring 153 is stopped, the second elastic card 152 engages with the elastic protrusion to achieve the effect of controlling the limited rotation of the second elastic snap ring 153, and at the same time, the effect of limiting the rotation angle of the limiting adjusting ring 154 is achieved.
[0059] The sealing block 155 is made of rubber material, and in the initial state, the sealing block 155 completely seals the damping air hole 158. By rotating the adjusting ring 154 to drive the sealing block 155 to open part of the damping air hole 158, the down pressure can be adjusted and controlled. The limiting protrusion 157 provided on the outer wall of the damping sleeve 156 blocks the rotation path of the sealing block 155 to achieve the effect of limiting the rotation angle of the limiting adjusting ring 154. The adjusting ring 154 is counterclockwise rotated to drive the sealing block 155 to the maximum deflection position. At this time, the damping air hole 158 is completely closed. The adjusting ring 154 is clockwise rotated to drive the sealing block 155 to the maximum deflection position. At this time, the damping air hole 158 is completely opened. The surface of the adjusting ring 154 is provided with anti-slip protrusions, and the adjusting ring 154 is also provided with a pointer. The surface of the adjusting base 151 is provided with a scale. The pointer on the adjusting ring 154 and the scale on the surface of the adjusting base 151 can achieve the effect of intuitively knowing the rotation angle of the adjusting ring 154.
[0060] The spring 163 is responsible for lifting the piston 162 to reset it. When the hand support 172 drives the top bracket 171 downward, the top bracket 171 drives the piston 162 downward to compress the air in the damping sleeve 156, and at the same time, the piston 162 compresses the spring. When the hand support 172 is released, the spring 163 lifts the piston 162 to reset it.
