Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ophthalmic surgical equipment, in particular to an artificial anterior chamber device for ophthalmic surgery. Background Art

[0002] The cornea is a transparent structure located on the outer layer of the front of the eyeball. It protects the eyeball from environmental influences and provides two-thirds of the refractive power. It is an important part of the visual system. Corneal diseases or injuries may cause serious visual impairment or even blindness. The cornea is divided into 5 layers from front to back, namely the epithelial cell layer, the anterior elastic layer, the stroma, the posterior elastic layer and the endothelial cell layer. For patients with corneal blindness, the most effective treatment is corneal transplantation. Due to the severe shortage of donated corneas, in order to make full use of every cornea and provide precision medicine according to the corneal condition of patients with corneal blindness, the current surgical methods mainly include: 1. Penetrating keratoplasty, 2. Anterior lamellar keratoplasty, 3. Endothelial keratoplasty.

[0003] The currently available artificial anterior chamber devices for surgery are mainly made of stainless steel metal, and also have a more complex mechanical structure. They are expensive and imported products. The donor cornea is mainly placed on a main body with a groove and a channel with the epithelial layer facing up. After tightening and fixing, air or water is injected into the groove through the channel to form an anterior chamber and intraocular pressure similar to that of the human eye. Then, a micro corneal lamellar cutter is used to cut off the anterior lamellar layer of the donor cornea. The anterior lamellar layer includes the epithelial cell layer and the anterior elastic layer; if the posterior lamellar layer needs to be obtained, the posterior lamellar layer includes the posterior elastic layer and the endothelial cell layer, and then it is cut twice, each time using a new blade, and the remaining part is the required corneal posterior lamellar layer. However, increasing the number of cutting times will lead to inaccurate thickness of the cornea left, or cutting too deep, damage to the posterior lamellar layer, and other problems. Therefore, in order to obtain the posterior lamellar layer of accurate thickness, the cornea should be turned over, with the endothelial cell layer facing up and the epithelial cell layer facing down, and placed on the artificial anterior chamber device for surgery, and the corneal posterior lamellar layer can be cut out at one time. This reduces the steps of the operation.

[0004] However, the existing artificial anterior chamber device cannot meet the requirements of such operation. The upper surface of its main body does not have a curvature that completely fits the corneal epithelial cell layer after turning over, and cannot provide suitable elastic support force for cutting the posterior corneal lamellae. Therefore, an artificial anterior chamber device for ophthalmic surgery is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an artificial anterior chamber device for ophthalmic surgery, which effectively provides a suitable corneal posterior lamella curvature and elastic support force, and realizes one-time cutting of the corneal posterior lamella with the required accurate thickness.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An artificial anterior chamber device for ophthalmic surgery comprises an artificial anterior chamber, a pressure ring and a height-fixing ring, wherein the artificial anterior chamber comprises a ring edge and a convex surface, wherein the convex surface is arranged at the upper middle position of the ring edge, the artificial anterior chamber is elastic, the cornea is placed on the top of the artificial anterior chamber, and is pressed against the cornea without sliding by the pressure ring, the height-fixing ring comprises a height-fixing ring body, a column and a supporting foot, the height-fixing ring body is pressed against the pressure ring without sliding, a column for installing a micro-corneal cutting knife rotating motor is arranged on the top of the height-fixing ring body, and the height-fixing ring body is provided with a supporting foot.

[0008] In order to make the artificial anterior chamber elastic, it is made of silicone material.

[0009] The pressure ring is made of stainless steel.

[0010] A handle is provided on the top of the height-fixing ring for easy operation.

[0011] The height setting ring is made of stainless steel.

[0012] There are at least three supporting legs, which are evenly distributed on the height-fixing ring body.

[0013] The supporting foot is a structure that protrudes horizontally from the height-fixing ring body and then bends 120 degrees to obliquely downward.

[0014] In order to allow the pressure ring to be pressed against the pressure ring without sliding and to press the cornea against the artificial anterior chamber, saw teeth A are provided on the edge of the ring, and saw teeth B meshing with the saw teeth A are provided on the pressure ring.

[0015] In order to make the height fixing ring body, a saw tooth C cooperating with the saw tooth B is arranged at the bottom of the height fixing ring body.

[0016] The convex surface is completely fitted with the cornea, and the elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber with a specific curvature is completely fitted with the donor cornea.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] The utility model discloses an artificial anterior chamber device for ophthalmic surgery, which can directly and effectively obtain the posterior corneal lamellae; the curvature of the elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber and the height of the stainless steel height-fixing ring are of different models, which can be suitable for cutting different thicknesses; the structure is simple, the parts are few, the use is convenient, and the operation is stable; in particular, the appropriate curvature provided by the elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber enables one lamellae cutting blade to cut out 50-100 posterior corneal lamellae; it is beneficial for ophthalmologists to practice operations and for enterprises to save costs when converting heterogeneous corneas into artificial corneas for mass production.

[0036] In a specific embodiment:

[0037] Before ophthalmic surgery, a corneal posterior lamellar graft artificial anterior chamber device is prepared, which includes a stainless steel height-fixing ring, a stainless steel inner serrated pressure ring and an elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber. The convex surface of the silicone artificial anterior chamber is for the biological corneal epithelium to adhere to, and the convex and concave teeth on the edge of the artificial anterior chamber ring are matched with the bottom of the inner serrated pressure ring; the upper surface of the inner serrated pressure ring is matched with the inner edge of the bottom of the height-fixing ring in the same shape; the inner diameters of the artificial anterior chamber, the inner serrated pressure ring and the edge of the height-fixing ring all have the same equidistant convex teeth or concave teeth; the upper surface of the height-fixing ring is provided with a handle and a short columnar protrusion connected to the rotating motor of the micro-corneal cutting knife, the edge of the height-fixing ring is provided with three equidistantly distributed and equal-length supporting feet, which are bent 120° downward after protruding horizontally, and the inner edge of the bottom of the height-fixing ring is provided with convex teeth and concave teeth that fit with the upper surface of the inner serrated pressure ring.

[0038] When using the artificial anterior chamber device for preparing corneal posterior lamellar grafts before ophthalmic surgery designed by the present invention, the cornea with a circle of sclera about 7-9 mm wide is turned over so that the endothelial layer faces upward, and the epithelial layer is buckled and fitted on the elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber device downward; the stainless steel inner serrated pressure ring is pressed on the sclera with a certain force to ensure that the donor cornea and the elastic silicone artificial anterior chamber fit tightly without sliding, and the corneal endothelial layer is exposed; after the stainless steel height-fixing ring is connected to the micro-corneal lamellar cutting knife, the handle of the stainless steel height-fixing ring is held and placed in the central area of ​​the corneal endothelial layer, and the three feet of the ring are supported on the table.
