Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an integrated wire pushing and cutting tool. Background Art

[0002] In the actual process of clinical minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic suturing of wounds is often used. After the suturing is completed, the sutures are tied and fixed. The current generally adopted method is that the operator sews the internal tissues, ties a slipknot on the outside of the wound, and then uses a thread pusher to push the slipknot into the inside to tighten the suture knot to complete the knot, and then uses wire cutters to reach into the inside to cut off the excess suture knot. This operation method is cumbersome and requires the use of multiple tools to complete. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to simplify the steps of wound suturing during endoscopic surgery, the present application provides an integrated thread pushing and cutting tool.

[0004] The integrated wire pushing and cutting tool provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An integrated wire pushing and cutting tool comprises a handle, an outer tube, a fixed tube and an inner core;

[0006] The handle is configured as a housing, and a first switch for controlling the inner core to rotate along the central axis and a second switch for controlling the outer tube to move along the length direction are disposed on the handle;

[0007] One end of the fixing tube is fixed on the handle, and the other end is provided with a spiral groove for placing the suture, and the slipknot is pushed to the front end through the spiral groove to complete the knotting;

[0008] The inner core is arranged inside the fixing tube and can rotate along the axis of the fixing tube. One end of the inner core is connected to the first switch, and the other end is arranged flush with the end of the fixing tube away from the handle. The end away from the handle is provided with a fixing groove for fixing the suture. The inner core is controlled by the first switch arranged on the handle to rotate the suture in the fixing groove into the spiral groove.

[0009] The outer tube is arranged outside the fixed tube and can move along the axis of the fixed tube. One end of the outer tube is connected to the second switch, and the other end is arranged flush with the end of the fixed tube away from the handle. A cutting edge is arranged at the end of the outer tube away from the handle, and the suture is cut through the cutting edge.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the user first turns the first switch to the on position, places the suture in the fixed groove opened at the end of the inner core, and then turns the first switch to the off position. At this time, the inner core rotates to fix the suture in the spiral groove, and the thread pushing and cutting tool pushes the slipknot along the suture to the inside to tighten the suture slipknot. Then, by pushing the second switch, the outer tube moves along the length direction toward the spiral groove, and the excess suture knots are cut off by the provided cutting edge and the fixed tube. The above structure simplifies the operating steps, and the original thread pusher and wire cutter are integrated into one design. It is only necessary to tie a slipknot on the outside, and the two steps of knotting and thread cutting can be completed using the integrated thread pushing and cutting tool.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing groove is L-shaped.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing groove is set to be L-shaped, the movable position of the suture becomes smaller, and the suture is fixed in the groove more accurately without falling off.

[0013] Preferably, a first switch slot for movement of the first switch is provided at the handle, the first switch slot is perpendicular to the axis of the inner core, and the first switch controls the rotation of the inner core by lateral movement, and the rotation angle is ≥90°.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner core is rotated by the first switch, and the rotation angle is ≥90°, which makes it convenient to transfer the suture in the L-shaped groove into the spiral groove, converting the linear motion into rotation, and facilitating the operation of the first switch.

[0015] Preferably, the spiral groove pitch is set to 15-18 mm, the groove width is ≤1.3 mm, and the groove length is ≤7~8 mm.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove design makes it easy to put the suture in and cooperate with the inner core to fix the suture.

[0017] Preferably, a second switch slot for the second switch to move is provided at the handle, the second switch slot is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the outer tube, and the outer tube and the second switch are integrally formed.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer tube and the second switch are integrated into one, and the second switch is moved in the second switch slot to carry the outer tube to move along the axial direction, which makes it easier for the second switch to control the outer tube and the operator to cut the suture.

[0019] Preferably, a return spring is arranged at one end of the second switch and the handle close to the spiral groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and arranging a reset spring, it is convenient for the outer tube to rebound and reset after the second switch pushes the suture to be cut toward one end of the spiral groove to meet the requirements of the next suture cutting.

[0021] Preferably, the outer tube cutting edge is V-shaped.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting edge is set to be V-shaped, which makes it easier for the cutting edge to cut the suture.

[0023] Preferably, the cutting edge angle is set to 14°~20°.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the blade angle is set to 14°~20°, and the blade is sharper, which is convenient for cutting the suture.

[0025] Preferably, there is a certain distance between the first switch and the second switch.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, a certain distance between the first switch and the second switch can effectively prevent users from making operating errors.

[0027] Preferably, the fixed tube, the inner core and the outer tube are all metal parts, the inner core diameter R1 is 2.2 mm ≤ R1 ≤ 2.5 mm, and the inner diameter R 2内 2.5mm<R 2内 ≤2.8mm, outer diameter R 2外 3.8mm≤R 2外 ≤4mm, the inner diameter of the outer tube R 3内 4mm<R 3内 ≤4.2mm, outer diameter R 3外 5.8mm≤R 3外 ≤6mm.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed tube, the inner core and the outer tube are configured as metal parts and cooperate with each other. The structure is compact and occupies little space, which is convenient for minimally invasive surgery and suturing of wounds with smaller incisions.

[0029] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. The user first turns the first switch to the on position, places the suture in the fixed groove opened at the end of the inner core, and then turns the first switch to the off position. At this time, the inner core rotates to fix the suture in the spiral groove. The push-thread and wire-cutting tool pushes the slipknot along the suture to the inside to tighten the suture slipknot. Then, by pushing the second switch, the outer tube moves along the length direction toward the spiral groove, and the excess suture knot is cut off by the provided cutting edge and the fixed tube. The above structure simplifies the operation steps, and the original pusher and wire cutter are integrated into one design. Only the slipknot needs to be tied on the outside, and the integrated push-thread and wire-cutting tool can be used to complete the two steps of knotting and wire cutting.

[0031] 2. Set the fixing groove to L-shape, the movable position of the suture becomes smaller, and the suture is fixed in the slot more accurately without falling off;

[0032] 3. A certain distance between the first switch and the second switch can effectively prevent users from making operating errors. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
