Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a device for removing a broken medical instrument ring. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, procedures such as orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, and alveolar surgery often require the use of drills for bone removal, while dental procedures often involve the use of files for root canal preparation. Occasionally, due to improper use or instrument fatigue, drills may break off inside the bone, or files may break off inside the root canal. Clinically, these broken instruments become stuck in narrow cavities, making them impossible to remove with ordinary forceps or clamps, requiring the use of specialized instruments for retrieval.

[0003] To address this issue, existing devices for retrieving broken instruments mainly fall into three categories: sleeve-awl, lasso, and micro-clamps. The "sleeve-awl" solution requires a series of sleeves and awls of varying sizes for broken instruments as thin as a pen holder. Because the sleeve needs to be aligned with the broken instrument, it obstructs the view when using this method. The "micro-clamps" solution, with its very small clamping force, is unsuitable for retrieving tightly stuck broken instruments.

[0004] Existing "lasso" (or thimble) technology solutions, such as Chinese invention patent with publication number CN115105230A, disclose a combined thimble system for removing broken instruments from the root canal. This system includes an outer tube, within which a thimble tube assembly extends partially. The thimble tube assembly includes a sleeve and a filamentous thimble extending from one end of the sleeve to form a thimble. An adjustable mounting component for installing the thimble tube assembly is located within the outer tube. A push-transmission block, which works with the adjustable mounting component to move the sleeve and adjust the thimble size, is also located within the outer tube. A handheld power component, detachably connected to the outer tube and providing thrust to the push-transmission block, is located outside the outer tube.

[0005] While the aforementioned lasso-type existing technology has the advantages of good operating visibility and strong clamping force, it also has problems such as complex device structure, inconvenient installation of lasso wires, and inconvenient operation when tightening the lasso ring. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems of complex structure and inconvenient operation of existing broken instrument removal devices, this invention provides a medical broken instrument removal ring device.

[0027] The following description of exemplary embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the invention or its application or use in any way. Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail herein, but where applicable, such techniques, methods, and apparatus should be considered part of this specification.

[0028] Terminology Explanation: Front-end and back-end: based on Figure 1 or Figure 2 The left end is the front end, and the right end is the rear end.

[0029] Example 1 This embodiment provides a medical device for removing broken medical instruments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: A collar assembly 1, comprising a collar wire 15, wherein the collar wire 15 is bent to form a collar 11, and the collar 11 is used to retrieve a broken instrument; Connection component 2, which is connected to the collar assembly 1; Sleeve assembly 3, which is connected to the connecting assembly 2; The resetter 4 is located at the tail of the sleeve assembly 3. By pushing the resetter 4, the resetter 4, through the sleeve assembly 3 and the connecting assembly 2, tightens the collar 11 onto the broken instrument, and then pulls the broken instrument out.

[0030] The collar assembly 1 further includes a needle tube 12 and a needle plug 13. One end of the needle tube 12 is connected to the front end of the needle plug 13. The needle tube 12 has a central hole through which the collar wire 15 can pass. Before use, the needle tube 12 is straight and not pre-bent. After folding the collar wire 15 in half, both ends of the collar wire 15 are passed through the needle tube 12, leaving a portion of the collar wire 15 at the front end of the needle tube 12, forming a collar 11.

[0031] The needle bolt 13 has a central hole through which the loop wire 15 passes. The needle bolt 13 is a hollow cone with an open tip. The outer surface of the rear end of the needle bolt 13 is provided with a needle bolt bottom edge 14. The needle bolt bottom edge 14 consists of two oppositely arranged protrusions. After the two protrusions are screwed into the threads in the needle bolt lock 22, they cooperate with the threads in the needle bolt lock 22 and lock the needle bolt 13.

[0032] The connecting assembly 2 includes a push rod 24 and a connector 21. The front end of the push rod 24 is connected to the connector 21, and the push rod 24 and the connector 21 are fixedly connected or integrally formed. The connector 21 is tapered. A 180° folded pin lock 22 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 21. The pin lock 22 folds outward and forward from the outer wall of the connector 21, and a receiving cavity is formed between the pin lock 22 and the outer wall of the connector 21. The front end of the receiving cavity is open. The receiving cavity is used to receive the bottom edge 14 of the pin. The inner wall of the pin lock has a pin lock thread 23. The pin 13 and the pin lock 22 are connected by threads. When the pin 13 is threadedly connected to the pin lock 22, the inner wall of the pin 13 is in close contact with the outer surface of the connector 21.

[0033] The connector 21 is provided with a push rod center hole groove 26. The front half of the push rod center hole groove 26 extends along the central axis of the connector 21, and the rear half extends inclined towards the outer wall of the connector 21 until it reaches the outer wall of the connector 21. The collar wire 15 can pass through the push rod center hole groove 26 and extend out of the connector 21.

[0034] The push rod 24 is cylindrical. A push rod limiting edge 25 is provided at the front end of the push rod 24 (i.e., where the push rod 24 and the connector 21 meet). The rear end face of the push rod limiting edge 25 is preferably perpendicular to the central axis of the push rod 24, which facilitates the limiting of the sleeve 31. The rear end face of the push rod 24 has a central screw hole for fixing the resetter 4.

[0035] The sleeve assembly 3 includes a sleeve 31 and a finger support 32. The sleeve 31 is cylindrical, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the push rod 24 but smaller than the outer diameter of the push rod limiting edge 25. The push rod 24 passes through the sleeve 31 and is rotatable within it. The front end face of the sleeve 31 abuts against the push rod limiting edge 25.

[0036] The sleeve 31 is provided with a collar thread fixing assembly on its exterior; the tail end of the collar thread 15 is fixed inside the collar thread fixing assembly. Specifically, the collar thread fixing assembly includes a clamping screw seat 34, which is fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the sleeve 31; a through hole for the collar thread 15 to pass through is provided between the clamping screw seat 34 and the outer side wall of the sleeve 31; a screw hole 36 is also provided on the clamping screw seat 34, which is arranged radially along the sleeve 31; a recess 35 is provided on the outer surface of the sleeve 31 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 36; a clamping screw 33 passes through the screw hole 36, and the clamping screw 33 clamps the collar thread 15 at the recess 35 or between the clamping screw 33 and the inner wall of the clamping screw seat 34.

[0037] The surface shape of the recess 35 matches the shape of the screw-in end of the clamping screw 33, and the single-sided gap between the two sides of the clamping screw 33 and the inner wall of the clamping screw seat 34 is smaller than the diameter of the collar wire 15. Then, after the two ends of the collar wire 15 pass through the through hole of the clamping screw seat 34, the clamping screw 33 and the clamping screw seat 34 are tightened together. Thus, the collar wire 15 is either clamped between the clamping screw 33 and the sleeve 31 (i.e., at the recess 35) or between the clamping screw 33 and the inner wall of the clamping screw seat 34.

[0038] The finger support 32 is disposed on the outer wall of the sleeve 31 and is fixedly connected to the sleeve 31. The finger support 32 is ring-shaped, square, or elliptical.

[0039] The resetter 4 includes a reset spring 41, a spring cover 42, and a spring cover screw 43. The inner wall of the tail end of the sleeve 31 has a step, forming a reset spring seat 37. A push rod 24 passes through the sleeve 31, with its rear end extending partially out of the sleeve 31. The reset spring 41 is fitted onto the outer wall of the portion of the push rod 24 extending out of the sleeve 31. One end of the reset spring 41 abuts against the reset spring seat 37, and the other end abuts against the spring cover 42. The spring cover 42 is connected to the rear end face of the push rod 24, specifically detachably connected via the spring cover screw 43.

[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: After the device is installed and the return spring 41 is in the compressed state in the initial state, first fold the collar wire 15 in half, pass it through the straight needle tube 12 and needle plug 13 side by side, enter the connector 21, pass through the center hole groove of the push rod and extend out from the side opening of the connector 21, and then insert it into the through hole of the clamping screw seat 34, and use the clamping screw 33 to fix the two ends of the collar wire 15.

[0041] Then the syringe 12 can be pre-bent, such as... Figure 1 As shown, rotate the push rod 24 to adjust the bending direction of the collar 11 and the needle tube 12. Hold the sleeve 31 between your index and middle fingers and press it against the finger support 32. Press the spring cover 42 against your thumb and squeeze the finger support 32 with your index and middle fingers. Use an injection-like action to shrink the collar 11 and securely fit the broken instrument. At this time, pull the device outward to remove the broken instrument.

[0042] Example 2 This embodiment further defines the first example by specifying that the collar wire 15 is made of metal wire, polymer material, or ceramic filament. Other components in this embodiment, besides the collar wire 15, can be made of stainless steel, titanium alloy, or aluminum alloy.

[0043] Example 3 This embodiment further defines the first embodiment, wherein the needle tube 12 and the needle plug 13 are disposable syringe needles for single use. Before operation, the collar wire 15 can be threaded in and multiple sets can be prepared to facilitate quick replacement of the new collar assembly 1 after a failed attempt to remove a broken instrument.

[0044] The above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
