Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a manual propeller for inner ear gene therapy. Background Art

[0002] According to statistics, there are as many as 26 million patients with congenital deafness in the world. In my country, about 30,000 newborns are born with deafness each year, of which 60% are related to genetic factors, which seriously damage children's hearing, speech and intellectual development, but there is currently no effective treatment in clinical practice. In recent years, with the innovation and development of biomedical technology, biological treatment methods for hereditary deafness have been deeply explored. The most popular methods include promoting hair cell regeneration, stem cell transplantation and gene therapy. Among them, gene therapy is considered to be one of the most promising and ideal strategies for curing hereditary deafness. Gene therapy introduces normal genes or therapeutic genes into target cells to compensate or correct defective genes, thereby fundamentally improving hearing and making the restored hearing closer to the state of natural sound.

[0003] In addition to the actual clinical needs, gene therapy for deafness also benefits from the unique structure of the inner ear. The inner ear is a relatively accessible but closed and fluid-filled space. Its blood-labyrinth barrier allows drugs injected into the cochlea to maintain high concentrations in the target organ while minimizing systemic distribution, reducing toxicity to non-target organs and tissues.

[0004] At present, the injection approach with the lowest risk of trauma and postoperative complications (vertigo, total deafness, etc.) is the round window membrane introduction surgical route. The main difficulty of the round window injection approach is the lack of stable and controllable tools for precise virus introduction. In order to meet the accuracy of the surgical approach and improve the stability and controllability of the round window injection, it is urgent to construct a propulsion device for inner ear gene therapy to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0048] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the utility model, but do not limit the utility model in any form. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model. These all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0049] Embodiment 1:

[0050] The utility model provides a manual propeller for inner ear gene therapy, which is preferably made of stainless steel. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a driving body 1, a transmission member 2, a responding body 3 and a shell 12. The shell 12 serves as a supporting structure of the entire manual propeller. The proximal end of the shell 12 is provided with a first pivot point 4 and a second handle 121, and the distal end is provided with a second pivot point 10. The interior of the shell 12 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The transmission member 2 passes through the first through hole. Under the drive of an external force, the transmission member 2 can slide with the first through hole; one side of the responding body 3 is rotationally matched with the second pivot point 10, and the other side is rotationally and slideably matched with the distal end of the transmission member 2 so that the front end of the responding body 3 The direction can be adjusted; the second perforation is used to guide the injection catheter 11 to enter the interior of the shell 12 and enter the interior of the responding body 3 from the rear end of the responding body 3 and extend to the front end of the responding body 3. When in use, a catheter port 13 is provided on the shell 12, and the catheter port 13 forms the port of the second perforation. The catheter port 13 is used to guide the injection catheter 11 to enter the second perforation. The inner diameter of the catheter port 13 can be designed to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the second perforation, preferably in a trumpet shape, so that the injection catheter 11 can be inserted into the second perforation more quickly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. After the manual pusher in the utility model is used, the injection catheter 11 can be pulled out through the catheter port 13, and after disinfection and sterilization, it can be used again, thereby reducing the use cost of surgical instruments.

[0051] Furthermore, one end of the driver 1 has a first handle 101 matching the second handle 121. The first handle 101 and the second handle 121 together form the force-applying end of the manual propeller. The first handle 101 and the second handle 121 can be closed or separated by holding the hand. The middle part of the driver 1 rotates with the first pivot point 4 to become the support point for the driver 1 to complete the rotation. The other end of the driver 1 rotates and slides with the proximal end of the transmission member 2. When the first handle 101 and the second handle 121 are tightened or loosened by hand, the driver 1 can rotate around the first pivot point 4 and then pull or push the transmission member 2. At this time, the transmission member 2 slides in the first perforation and forms a sliding pair 7 with the shell 12. The precise matching of the sliding pair 7 makes the transmission member 2 have no radial displacement in the reciprocating motion, thereby improving the stability of the transmission. The movement of the transmission member 2 in the axial direction drives the response body 3 to rotate around the second pivot point 10, thereby driving the injection catheter 11 to rotate synchronously. While adjusting the direction of the response body 3, the direction of the injection catheter 11 can also be adjusted, thereby achieving the drug administration requirements.

[0052] It should be noted that both the first pivot point 4 and the second pivot point 10 can adopt a hinge structure to achieve the function of rotational cooperation, for example, the hinge function is achieved by the cooperation of a rotating shaft and a hole.

[0053] Specifically, the rotation and sliding structure at the proximal end of the transmission member 2 includes a first sliding member 5 and a first rotating member 6, the end of the first rotating member 6 extends to the interior of the first sliding member 5 or passes through the first sliding member 5 and can rotate and / or slide relative to the first sliding member 5; the rotation and sliding structure at the distal end of the transmission member 2 includes a second sliding member 9 and a second rotating member 8, the end of the second rotating member 8 extends to the interior of the second sliding member 9 or passes through the second sliding member 9 and can rotate and / or slide relative to the second sliding member 9, wherein the first sliding member 5 and the second sliding member 9 are both provided with waist-shaped holes, which can be blind holes or through holes, and the first rotating member 6 and the second rotating member 8 are both rotating shaft structures. When the driving body 1 rotates around the first pivot point 4, the motion trajectory of the driving body 1 close to the end of the transmission member 2 is an arc. Therefore, the motion coordination relationship with the proximal end of the transmission member 2 can be achieved by setting a rotation and sliding method. Similarly, when the responding body 3 rotates around the second pivot point 10, the motion trajectory of the end of the responding body 3 away from the second pivot point 10 is also an arc, and the motion coordination relationship with the far end of the transmission member 2 can only be achieved through rotation and sliding.

[0054] The transmission member 2 can adopt a variety of structural forms, such as a rod-shaped, plate-shaped or steel wire structure. The steel wire structure can be made of a material with high rigidity to avoid deformation that affects the driving accuracy. A steel wire bundle made of multiple strands of steel wire can also be used to improve the driving effect. The housing 12 can adopt an integrated structure or a split structure, which can be flexibly designed according to actual conditions. When the housing 12 is designed as a split structure, a detachable effect is achieved, which is convenient for storage and occupies a small space.

[0055] The utility model designs the manual propeller into a structural form in which the transmission member 2 pushes or pulls the responding body 3 to rotate, which greatly increases the rotation angle range of the responding body 3 and improves the versatility of the device.

[0056] Specifically, the responding body 3 has a third perforation inside that matches the injection catheter 11. The third perforation should be designed to match the size of the injection catheter 11, which can not only meet the requirements of easy assembly, but also drive the injection catheter 11 to rotate synchronously when the responding body 3 rotates, thereby increasing the accuracy of the position adjustment of the injection catheter 11. In addition, the inlet end of the third perforation on the responding body 3 should correspond to the position of the outlet end of the second perforation, so that the injection catheter 11 can smoothly transition from the second perforation to the third perforation, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.

[0057] Embodiment 2:

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, a hinged joint is provided at the far end of the transmission member 2. On the one hand, the hinged joint can limit the retracted position of the transmission member 2. On the other hand, a rotating shaft is provided on the hinged joint. The rotating shaft serves as the second rotating member 8. The second sliding member 9 is a waist-shaped through hole and is an integrally formed structure with the responding body 3. The rotating shaft passes through the waist-shaped through hole so that the rotating shaft and the waist-shaped through hole form a rotating and sliding matching relationship during the rotation of the responding body 3.

[0060] The responder 3 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel and has a narrow front end and a wide rear end. Its size can be flexibly designed according to the needs of the operation.

[0071] Finally, the length of the injection catheter 11 is adjusted to puncture and enter the round window membrane, and the first handle 101 and the second handle 121 are fixed to achieve the introduction of the virus or drug into the inner ear through the injection catheter 11.
