AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, when artificial ossicle implantation devices are grasped, the claws obstruct the viewing window, affecting the surgical angle. This results in the need for multiple adjustments during the installation process, prolonging the surgical time and affecting the fixation accuracy.

Method used

Design an artificial ossicle implantation device, which adopts a combination structure of fixed clamp handle, movable clamp handle, outer tube and pin. The movable clamp handle drives the pin to move inside the outer tube, passing through only one grasping hole of the artificial ossicle for clamping. The clamping is achieved by combining the notch at the head end of the outer tube and the retractable pin. The middle part of the outer tube is provided with a corrugated tube that can be plastically deformed to change the angle, and the internal spring self-locks to prevent it from falling.

Benefits of technology

This allows for convenient surgical procedures without affecting the surgical field of view, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the surgery and preventing the artificial ossicles from falling out during the procedure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figures 3-9 As shown, the present invention provides an artificial ossicle implantation device. The artificial ossicle 50 includes a working part 51 and a disc 52 connected by a column 54. The disc 52 has a plurality of grasping holes 53 evenly distributed on it. The working part 51 and the disc 52 of the artificial ossicle 50 are respectively placed on the periosteum and the stapes plate. The artificial ossicle implantation device includes: a fixed clamp handle 10, a movable clamp handle 11, an outer tube 20, and a thimble pin 30; wherein, The fixed clamp handle 10 and the movable clamp handle 11 are hinged together by a hinge shaft 12. That is, the movable clamp handle 11 can rotate relative to the fixed clamp handle 10 around the hinge shaft 12 to form a scissor-like operating mode. The tail end of the outer tube 20 is installed at the head end of the fixed clamp handle 10. The ejector pin 30 passes through the outer tube 20, and the head end of the movable clamp handle 11 is fixed to the tail end of the ejector pin 30 by the clamping part 13. The movable clamp handle 11 and the tail end of the fixed clamp handle 10 are provided with a hand-holding part. Based on the opening or retraction of the movable clamp handle 11, the ejector pin 30 is driven to move in the outer tube 20. That is, when the movable clamp handle 11 opens outward relative to the fixed clamp handle 10, the ejector pin 30 is driven to retract in the outer tube 20, that is, to move from the head end to the tail end of the outer tube 20. When the movable clamp handle 11 retracts inward relative to the fixed clamp handle 10, the ejector pin 30 is driven to advance in the outer tube 20, that is, to move from the tail end to the head end of the outer tube 20.

[0017] The outer tube 20 includes a first fixing tube 21, a corrugated tube 22, and a second fixing tube 23 arranged sequentially from the head end to the tail end. The tail end of the second fixing tube 23 is installed at the head end of the fixing clamp handle 10. Neither the first fixing tube 21 nor the second fixing tube 23 undergoes plastic deformation. The corrugated tube 22 connects the first fixing tube 21 and the second fixing tube 23 and can undergo plastic deformation. The head end of the first fixing tube 21 is closed, and a notch 25 is provided on the side wall near the head end. The size of the first fixing tube 21 and the angle of the notch are adapted to accommodate any of the grasping holes 53 of the disc 52 of the artificial ossicle 50, which can be placed at the notch. Figure 4As shown in the figure; the movable jaw handle 11 drives the ejector pin 30 to extend and pass through any one of the grabbing holes 53 of the disc 52 to top the closed head end of the first fixed tube 51, so as to fix the artificial ear bone 50 at the head end of the first fixed tube 21, and complete the clamping of the artificial ear bone 50. Further, the ejector pin 30 is an elastic ejector pin with reset after deformation, so as to adapt to the deformation of the bellows 22.

[0018] The tail inner wall of the first fixed tube 21 is provided with a first annular protrusion 24, and the outer wall of the ejector pin 30 is provided with a second annular protrusion 31, which is located at the head end side of the first annular protrusion 24, as shown in the figure. Figure 8 The first annular protrusion 24 and the second annular protrusion 31 are provided with a spring 32, which is sleeved on the ejector pin 30 and located in the first fixed tube 21; in the reset state of the spring 32, the movable jaw handle 11 is in the retracted state, and the ejector pin 30 extends from the gap to pass through any one of the grabbing holes 53 of the disc 52 to fix the artificial ear bone 50 at the head end of the first fixed tube 21; when the movable jaw handle 11 is opened outward relative to the fixed jaw handle 10, the spring 32 is compressed, and the ejector pin 30 is withdrawn from the gap 25. It should be noted that the plastic deformation of the bellows 22 by the doctor during the operation is also a simple deformation within a controllable range, rather than a complex deformation, for example, the coaxial first fixed tube and second fixed tube are plastically deformed to have an included angle of 160°, and the plastic deformation does not exceed the elastic deformation force of the ejector pin; the above plastic deformation does not affect the normal work of the ejector pin; the reason is that the ejector pin adopts an elastic ejector pin with certain elastic reset and strength, which can adapt to the plastic deformation of the bellows; at the same time, the spring is arranged in the first fixed tube 21, and the spring will not be deformed with the plastic deformation of the bellows, because the ejector pin and the spring can work normally.

[0019] The working principle of the present application is as follows: The movable jaw handle 11 is opened outward, the ejector pin 30 is retracted, and the gap 25 is opened, and then the artificial ear bone 50 is put in; the movable jaw handle 11 is loosened, the spring 32 is reset, the ejector pin 30 passes through the grabbing hole 53 of the artificial ear bone 50, and the clamping of the artificial ear bone is completed; after the operation is completed, the movable jaw handle 11 is opened outward, the ejector pin 30 is retracted, and the clamping of the artificial ear bone is released.

[0020] The advantages of the present application are as follows: The artificial ear bone implanting device of the present application only passes through one grabbing hole of the artificial ear bone to realize the clamping of the artificial ear bone, so that other grabbing holes (the grabbing hole serves as a window for the doctor during the operation) are exposed, which does not affect the operation view and is convenient for operation; The outer tube head end of the application is provided with a notch, and cooperates with the retractable thimble to realize clamping of the artificial auditory ossicle; the front end fixed gripping part is small and convenient to place on the stapes; The middle part of the outer tube of the application is provided with a bellows, which can be deformed to change the angle position of the operation, and the elastic thimble inside can adapt to the deformation of the outer tube. The artificial auditory ossicle can be prevented from falling off during the operation by the spring self-locking device (the auditory ossicle is generally 1-2 millimeters, and it is very difficult to find the falling off during the operation).

[0021] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the application and is not used to limit the application, and the application can have various changes and variations for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
