Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to an arthroscopic surgical field maintainer. Background Art

[0002] Articular cartilage is a type of tissue without blood vessels, nerves or lymph nodes, and it is difficult to repair itself after injury. Knee cartilage injury is a common and difficult-to-treat joint injury in athletes and the general population. An epidemiological survey showed that cartilage injury accounted for as high as 63% of knee arthroscopy. Severe cartilage injury affects joint function and even causes athletes to lose their sports life. The treatment of cartilage injury has troubled doctors and patients for more than 200 years, and it is still a key topic and major challenge in the field of orthopedics and sports medicine. In the past few decades, people have been committed to studying methods for repairing and reconstructing cartilage injuries. These methods include bone marrow stimulation technology (microfracture technology MF), autologous osteochondral transplantation (OATS), allogeneic osteochondral transplantation (OCA), autologous chondrocyte transplantation technology (ACI), matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACI), tissue engineering and stem cell cartilage repair technology, etc.

[0003] Articular cartilage injury repair surgery is generally performed under arthroscopy, but the general arthroscopic entrance does not have a maintainer. After the joint exploration device leaves the joint cavity, the entrance will be closed, resulting in the inability to maintain the surgical field, and the entry channels of other instruments are blocked, resulting in difficulty in observation. Therefore, special tools are needed to maintain the surgical field for easy operation. For this reason, the utility model proposes an arthroscopic surgical field maintainer to maintain the smooth entrance channel of the arthroscopic. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an arthroscopic surgical field maintainer to solve the problems of being unable to maintain the surgical field, making observation difficult and inconvenient to perform surgery during articular cartilage injury repair surgery.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes an arthroscopic surgical field maintainer, including a maintainer body, one end of the maintainer body is provided with a resilient fixer, the other end is provided with a screw-in screw ring, and the outer wall of the screw-in screw ring is screwed with a screw-in device.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the arthroscopic surgical field can be maintained and the arthroscopic opening can be kept intact.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution, the retainer body is a hollow pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be used in conjunction with an arthroscope to facilitate the entry of instruments into the joint cavity.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the elastic fasteners are provided with at least two pairs and are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the retainer body. The elastic fasteners are tapered with the outer diameter gradually increasing from one end of the retainer body to the other end.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the maintainer is placed in the wound, the elastic fixator will be closed due to pressure, allowing the maintainer to smoothly enter the joint cavity.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, an elastic member is provided between the elastic fixer and the retainer body, the elastic member is embedded in the tube wall of the retainer body, and the thickness of the elastic fixer is smaller than the thickness of the tube wall of the retainer body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member can be provided to realize the pop-up and retraction of the elastic fixer without affecting the patency of the internal pipeline of the retainer body.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the material of the retainer can be selected from 316L stainless steel, ABS engineering plastics, polypropylene, polyethylene and other materials.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, stimulation to the wound surface and synovial fluid can be avoided.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In the utility model, the arthroscopic surgical field can be maintained by the maintainer body, so that the arthroscopic opening is complete, and it is convenient for larger instruments to enter the joint cavity.

[0017] 2. In the utility model, opening of other arthroscopic skin wounds can be avoided, further reducing the wound surface of arthroscopic surgery and facilitating postoperative healing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Embodiment 1

[0031] Figure 1-4 As shown, an arthroscopic surgical field maintainer includes a maintainer body 1, wherein the maintainer body 1 is a hollow tube, wherein one end of the maintainer body 1 is provided with an elastic fixer 2, and the other end is provided with a screw-in screw ring 3, wherein the outer wall of the screw-in screw ring 3 is screwed with a screw-in device 4, wherein the elastic fixer 2 is in a cone shape with an outer diameter gradually increasing from one end of the maintainer body 1 to the other end, wherein two pairs of the elastic fixers 2 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the maintainer body 1, wherein a spring 5 is provided between the elastic fixer 2 and the maintainer body 1, wherein the spring 5 is embedded in the tube wall of the maintainer body 1, and wherein the thickness of the elastic fixer 2 is less than the thickness of the tube wall of the maintainer body 1.

[0032] The material of the maintainer can be selected from 316L stainless steel, ABS engineering plastics, polypropylene, polyethylene and other materials that will not irritate the wound surface and synovial fluid.

[0033] Working principle: When using, select a surgical field maintainer 100 of appropriate size according to the size of the wound area, and place it in the opened wound. When the maintainer 100 is placed in the wound, its elastic fixer 2 will close due to pressure, allowing the maintainer 100 to smoothly enter the joint cavity. After the maintainer 100 enters the joint cavity to an appropriate depth, the elastic fixer 2 will pop out and fix. At this time, tighten the screw-in device 4 clockwise to fix the maintainer and the arthroscope. The maintainer 100 is firmly fixed to the wound surface to maintain a stable and clear surgical field. The arthroscopic probe and other surgical instruments can easily enter and exit the joint cavity through the space in the middle of the maintainer.

[0034] After the maintainer 100 is used, the screw-in device 4 is rotated in the opposite direction to separate it from the wound surface, and then slowly withdrawn from the wound surface to complete the operation.
