[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the medical field has also made great progress. In spinal surgery, minimally invasive spinal surgery has gradually replaced traditional spinal surgery.

[0003] However, the current minimally invasive spine surgery has a low overall efficiency when dealing with an important tissue structure: the yellow ligament, which greatly increases the time of the operation. This is because the yellow ligament is thick and tough, and the operating space in minimally invasive spine surgery is usually very small. In addition, there are important nerve tissues around the yellow ligament, which makes the treatment of the yellow ligament always difficult in minimally invasive spine surgery. The existing method of dealing with the yellow ligament is to use forceps for manual operation. The structure of the forceps is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0004] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the biting forceps in the prior art.

[0005] Among them, 1 and 2 represent the two handles of the bite forceps, and 3 and 4 represent the two mouthpieces of the bite forceps. In actual surgery, the bite forceps will be installed in a preset working area. When the handles of the bite forceps are affected by external forces, the mouthpiece will close, thereby removing a part of the yellow ligament within the working range of the mouthpiece.

[0006] However, although the forceps can gradually remove the yellow ligament while working, they can only remove a small part each time, the overall efficiency is low, and it also tests the operating skills of the surgeon and has a high safety risk.

[0007] Therefore, how to safely and efficiently cut the yellow ligament during minimally invasive spinal surgery is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0043] Nowadays, minimally invasive spinal surgery is developing rapidly and has gradually replaced traditional spinal surgery. At present, when dealing with the "yellow ligament", an important tissue structure, minimally invasive spinal surgery mainly uses forceps for manual operation. When working, the forceps can gradually remove the yellow ligament under the operation of the surgeon, but only a small part can be removed each time. The consequences of this lead to a significant increase in operation time, a decrease in overall efficiency, and a great test of the surgeon's experience and skills, with a high safety risk.

The specific shape of the connection structure 205 needs to be adapted according to the power component connected to the connection structure 205.

[0050] The utility model also provides a power component, which is composed of a motion component and a connection component. Figure 4 shown.

[0051] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the power component of the cutting tool provided in the utility model.

[0052] from Figure 4 It can be seen that the power component of the cutting tool is composed of a motion component 206 and a connecting component 207. The motion component 206 is connected to one end of the connecting component 207, and the other end of the connecting component 207 is connected to the connecting structure 205. The end of the connecting component 207 connected to the connecting structure 205 is provided with a groove of a preset shape, and is connected to the connecting structure 205 by a mortise and tenon structure. In the actual working process, the motion component 206 can provide power, and the power is transmitted to the transmission rod 202 through the connecting component 207, and then transmitted to the blade assembly 203 by the transmission rod 202, and finally the blade in the blade assembly 203 is rotated to remove the "yellow ligament" within the working range of the blade. This working method can make the cutting process continuous, stable and fast, can avoid the mistakes that may be caused by manual operation, and improve the overall efficiency and safety of the operation.

[0053] In summary, the overall working method of the cutting tool provided by the utility model is that the power component is directly connected to the cutting component and provides power to the cutting component, the protective sleeve is fixed in a preset manner, and the cutting component is placed inside the protective sleeve, and the blade assembly of the cutting component is placed at the opening of the protective sleeve. When power is transmitted to the blade assembly, a preset number of blades in the blade assembly will rotate and cut, and the "yellow ligament" within the working range will be removed.

[0054] It should be noted that in the above content and illustrations, the design of the transmission rod, blade assembly, opening design and the solid bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve are only selected for the convenience of understanding and introduction. Figure 2The structure shown in (the transmission rod is a cylindrical structure as a whole, the blade in the blade assembly is a rectangular blade, the opening is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the solid bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve is a solid thin surface). In the present invention, the specific structure of the transmission rod, the blade assembly, the opening design, and the solid bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve is not strictly limited, and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions and cost requirements. For cutting tools with different component structures, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 .

[0055] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a cutting tool with different transmission rod structures provided in the utility model.

[0056] like Figure 5 In the cutting tool shown, the second transmission rod 302 and the first transmission rod 303 together form a transmission rod 304, and the diameter of the second transmission rod 302 is larger than the diameter of the first transmission rod 303, the blade assembly 305 is connected to one end of the first transmission rod 303, and the other end of the first transmission rod 303 is connected to the second transmission rod 302, and the end of the second transmission rod 302 that is not connected to the first transmission rod 303 is provided with a connection structure of a preset shape, and the transmission rod 304 and the blade assembly 305 form a cutting component 306. When the power component provides power, the power will be first transmitted to the second transmission rod 302, and then transmitted from the second transmission rod 302 to the first transmission rod 303, and finally transmitted to the blade assembly 305.

[0057] Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of a cutting tool with different blade assembly structures provided in the utility model.

[0058] like Figure 6 In the cutting tool shown, Figure 2 Based on the cutting tool shown in FIG. 1 , the structure of the blade assembly 403 is changed from Figure 6 It can be seen that the blade assembly 403 is composed of a preset number of blades, and the blade assembly 403 is connected to one end of the transmission rod 402. For each blade in the blade assembly 403, the blade is bent toward the axis of the shaft at a preset angle with the transmission rod 402 as the axis. This bending setting enables each blade in the blade assembly 403 to play a greater role in the rotary cutting process, thereby improving the cutting efficiency to a certain extent.

[0059] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of cutting tools with different opening design structures provided in the utility model.

[0060] like Figure 7 In the cutting tool shown, Figure 2On the basis of the cutting tool shown, the side wall opening at the rear end of the protective sleeve 501 is designed to be inclined, wherein the plane where the side wall opening at the rear end of the protective sleeve 501 is located is inclined at a preset angle to the axis of the protective sleeve 501.

[0061] Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of cutting tools with different solid bottom structures provided in the utility model.

[0062] like Figure 8 In the cutting tool shown, Figure 2 On the basis of the cutting tool shown, the solid bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve 601 is designed to be cap-shaped. The rear end of the protective sleeve 601 is provided with a cap-shaped structure with a preset depth as the bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve 601. This design can further limit the cutting range of the blade assembly 603 and improve the safety of the operation.

[0063] It should be noted that the present invention can also apply all the above-mentioned component structures to deal with various problems that may arise in actual situations, such as Fig. 9 shown.

[0064] Fig. 9 It is a schematic diagram of a cutting tool with different component structures provided in the utility model.

[0065] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that the protective sleeve 701 of the cutting tool is a hollow tubular structure, the side wall of the rear end of the protective sleeve 701 is provided with an opening, and the plane where the opening is located is inclined at a preset angle to the axis of the protective sleeve 701, and the rear end of the protective sleeve 701 is also provided with a cover structure with a preset depth as the bottom of the rear end of the protective sleeve 701. The first transmission rod 703 in the cutting component 706 is introduced from the top of the protective sleeve 701 and placed in the protective sleeve 701, and the blade assembly 704 is placed at the opening at the rear end of the protective sleeve 701, the second transmission rod 702 and the first transmission rod 703 form a transmission rod 705, and the diameter of the second transmission rod 702 is greater than the diameter of the first transmission rod 703. 05 and the blade assembly 704 form a cutting component 706. The blade assembly 704 is composed of a preset number of blades. The blade assembly 704 is connected to one end of the first transmission rod 703. For each blade in the blade assembly 704, the blade is bent at a preset angle to the axis of the shaft with the transmission rod 705 as the axis. This bending setting enables each blade in the blade assembly 704 to play a greater role in the rotary cutting process, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the operation to a certain extent. At the same time, the opening design of the protective sleeve 701 and the cover-shaped design of the tail end can limit the working range of the blade assembly 704, ensuring that normal tissue will not be accidentally cut during the operation, thereby greatly improving the safety of the operation.

[0066] Meanwhile, in actual industrial production, the second transmission rod 702 and the first transmission rod 703 can also be produced as a whole, so that the two transmission rods with different diameters become a whole. Figure 2 Compared with the middle transmission rod 202, the overall mass of the second transmission rod 702 and the first transmission rod 703 is lower, thereby reducing the overall weight of the cutting tool.

[0067] In addition, in the present invention, the cutting component and the power component are connected by mortise and tenon joints. In view of different application scenarios and actual conditions, different styles of power components can be selected. The present invention does not strictly limit the specific style and type of the power component.

[0068] From the above content, it can be seen that in the utility model, the cutting tool is powered by a power component, and can perform stable, continuous and rapid cutting, which greatly improves the efficiency of the operation. Under the constraints of the opening design of the protective sleeve and the tail end cover design, the cutting range of the cutting tool can be well limited, which greatly improves the safety of the operation, and can effectively avoid possible errors that may occur during manual cutting, thereby ensuring the physical health and life safety of the patient on the operating table.

[0069] Each embodiment of the present invention is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. In particular, for the system embodiment, since it is basically similar to the method embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the partial description of the method embodiment.
