Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an intervertebral foramen reamer. Background Art

[0002] In some spinal endoscopic surgeries, it is necessary to remove some bone to establish a relatively spacious and free working channel for the operation. In the common lumbar transforaminal approach to remove the nucleus pulposus of the herniated disc, it is necessary to perform foraminal expansion and plasty, which is simply to remove or grind away part of the superior articular process through step-by-step ring saws, bone files or endoscopic drills, so as to remove its obstruction or the obstruction to the change of the angle of the endoscope, and then complete more complex surgical operations.

[0003] Generally, during the operation, the grinding of part of the superior articular process is done by step-by-step ring sawing. For the wound that has been ring sawed for the first time, when the secondary ring saw is used, the grinding efficiency of the secondary ring saw will be relatively lower than the efficiency of the overall cutting of the wound, which will prolong the operation time and the operation time of the medical staff. Some reamers in the prior art can grind or remove by rotating the edge of the reamer, but such reamers can only remove tissue in the circumferential direction of the reamer, and sometimes it is necessary to remove tissue at the bottom end of the reamer head, and the reamers in the prior art are not suitable for such needs.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 The intervertebral foramen reamer shown comprises a handle 1 and a shank 2. The handle 1 is provided with a through hole 11 for easy access of a viewing device. The handle 1 and the shank 2 are fixedly connected or connected by a threaded connection. A reamer head 3 is provided on the end of the shank 2 away from the handle 1. The reamer head 3 is a four-sided structure, with two symmetrical arcuate surfaces 4 and two symmetrical planes 5. Two arcuate grooves 6 are provided on the two symmetrical arcuate surfaces 4, and a first cutting edge 7 is formed between the arcuate grooves 6 and the arcuate surfaces 4. Two first cutting edges 7 are formed between the two arcuate grooves 6 on each plane 5 and the two arcuate surfaces 4. Similarly, two first cutting edges 7 are formed on the other side. Thus, there are four first cutting edges in total. The first cutting edges 7 can cut off unnecessary tissues when the reamer is rotated.

[0026] In order to facilitate the removal of tissue at the bottom of the reamer head 3 by scraping up and down, a scraping portion 8 is provided on the reamer head 3 and a second cutting edge 9 similar to an arc is provided on the scraping portion 8, so as to facilitate the removal of tissue at the bottom of the reamer head 3 by scraping up and down. At the same time, a third cutting edge 12 is provided between each second cutting edge 9 and the first cutting edge 7, and the two ends of the third cutting edge 12 are respectively connected to the first cutting edge 7 and the second cutting edge 9, forming a large U-shaped cutting edge, and the third cutting edge 12 can further improve the removal efficiency.

[0027] At the same time, the cutting angles of the first cutting edge 7 and the second cutting edge 9 are controlled between 3 and 15 degrees. In order to facilitate the position of the sight glass entering the reamer head 3, an inner recess 10 is provided on the reamer head 3.

[0028] Working principle: After the preliminary treatment, a hole is opened on the human body. When the tissue inside the hole needs to be further cleaned, the reamer is implanted into the opened hole, and the reamer head 3 is placed at a suitable position in the hole. Then, the tissue around the first cutting edge 1 and the third cutting edge 12 can be cleaned by rotating left and right. At the same time, when the tissue below the reamer head 3 needs to be cleaned, the reamer is quickly pushed and pulled up and down, and the second cutting edge 9 on the scraping part 8 is used to scrape the tissue. The human tissue is cleaned as a whole through the first cutting edge 7, the second cutting edge 9 and the third cutting edge 12, which improves the cleaning efficiency and shortens the operation time.

[0029] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
