Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an instrument for cataract surgery, in particular to a nucleus splitting spatula without energy release during cataract surgery. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, with the increasing number of cataract patients, cataract surgeries are widely carried out in hospitals at all levels. Currently, there are mainly three methods for cataract surgery: modern extracapsular cataract extraction, manual small incision cataract extraction, and phacoemulsification cataract extraction. Among them, the phacoemulsification cataract surgery technology has been continuously updated and matured since its report. Due to its definite curative effect and mild postoperative reaction, it has become a commonly used minimally invasive surgery method for treating cataracts. Surgeons need to undergo special training. If the operation technique is not proficient or the operation lacks carefulness and meticulousness during the operation, and the coordination of eyes, ears, hands, and feet is not good, more and more serious complications may occur compared with modern extracapsular cataract extraction, such as the damage of the ultrasonic probe and the energy of ultrasonic vibration to the cornea and iris during the operation, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous prolapse, lens nucleus entering the vitreous body, and persistent corneal edema and other complications after the operation.

[0003] At present, the nucleus splitting devices used in phacoemulsification technology have the following deficiencies: (1) The nucleus splitting process needs to be carried out under the cooperation of phacoemulsification. Phacoemulsification has energy release, which causes great damage to some patients with poor corneal endothelium. The phacoemulsification technology is difficult for beginners to master, and serious complications such as inability to split the nucleus and accidental injury to surrounding structures often occur during nucleus splitting. (2) Since the nucleus splitting hook of the nucleus splitting device for cataract surgery needs to extend from the edge of the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and cross the equator of the lens, the head end of the nucleus splitting hook will contact the posterior capsule of the lens, and excessive force is likely to cause the rupture of the posterior capsule of the lens. (3) The nucleus splitting hook part of the nucleus splitting device is used to contact the lens and cooperate with the phacoemulsification handle to form an extrusion force to achieve the purpose of splitting the lens into two pieces. For a lens nucleus with high hardness and toughness, it is easy to cause incomplete nucleus splitting or difficulty in splitting the lens nucleus, resulting in an extended operation time. For doctors with less surgical experience, it often increases the occurrence of intraoperative complications. The nucleus splitting devices used in current phacoemulsification technology, such as the nucleus splitting devices with the Chinese utility model patent publication numbers 203943798U and 201005858Y, all have the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a newly designed instrument for nucleus splitting in cataract surgery, which can complete nucleus splitting without the cooperation of phacoemulsification and without energy release during cataract surgery. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a nucleus chopping spatula for energy-free nucleus chopping in cataract surgery, which can complete nucleus chopping without energy release in cooperation with phacoemulsification in cataract surgery, and has a completely new structural design.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the nucleus chopping shovel of the utility model is a flat strip-shaped arc structure, and the curvature of the arc structure is a semi-elliptical shape with a long axis (that is, two identical nucleus chopping shovels can form a complete elliptical ring structure when docked); at the same time, the edge of the nucleus chopping shovel of the utility model is an arc chamfered structure. When in use, the nucleus chopping shovel of the utility model with the above structure can sneak from the surgical incision along the posterior subcapsular cortex to under the cataract nucleus, support and lift the cataract nucleus block, and smoothly chop the nucleus block by offsetting the force with the traditional nucleus chopping hook extending into the side incision, so as to complete the nucleus chopping of cataract surgery without the need for phacoemulsification, and no energy is released throughout the process; and compared with the existing design, the structure of the utility model is novel and has significant effects, and is very suitable for widespread clinical promotion and use.
