Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a minimally invasive fascia closer. Background Art

[0002] A minimally invasive fascia closer is a device specifically designed to close muscles and fascia during minimally invasive surgery. It consists of a closing fastener and a suture passer. When using the minimally invasive fascia closer, the doctor first needs to accurately insert the closing fastener into the surgical incision, and then operate to open the wire drawing frame of the closing fastener to ensure that the wire drawing frame can completely cover the muscle and fascia areas to be closed. Next, the doctor will adjust the position of the wire drawing frame to ensure that it fits perfectly with the abdominal wall, and then lock the wire drawing frame to fix the closing fastener. After the closing fastener is stably fixed, the doctor will use the suture passer to assist in completing the suture operation.

[0003] However, it is worth noting that due to the specific conditions of the surgical site and the surgical incision varying, the size of the closing fastener of the existing minimally invasive fascia closer is fixed and cannot be adjusted in real time during use. This causes the doctor to possibly need to select or replace closing fasteners of different sizes according to different surgical incision conditions during the operation, which undoubtedly brings certain inconvenience to the operation process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a minimally invasive fascia closer aiming at the problems existing in the prior art.

The top end of the telescopic rod is connected to the guiding rod, and the end of the telescopic rod extends out of the fixed handle along the slideway and is connected to the wire clamping block. The fixed handle includes a fixed section and a telescopic section. The fixed section and the telescopic section are slidably connected. A wire drawing frame is provided on the telescopic section, and an air cushion is wrapped outside the fixed section.

[0007] The closing fastener in the utility model can flexibly adjust the lengths of the pull rod and the fixed handle according to the specific conditions of the surgical incision, so as to ensure that the wire drawing frame can accurately cover and be fixed on surgical incisions of different sizes and shapes. This design not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation, but also greatly reduces the surgical risks caused by unstable fixation.

[0008] Meanwhile, the utility model wraps the closing fastener with the inflatable and deflatable air cushion, so that the maximum diameter of the fixed handle can be adjusted as needed. The softness and deformability of the air cushion enable it to closely fit the surgical incision, effectively preventing tissue damage or bleeding caused by insecure fixation. This personalized fitting method not only improves the comfort of the patient but also helps reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic rod includes an internally threaded tube and an externally threaded tube. The externally threaded tube is connected to the guide rod through the internally threaded tube. The wire clamping block includes a base and a rotating head.

The telescopic section 2 is slidably connected to the guiding cylinder 5.

[0032] First wire clamping grooves 301 are further respectively provided on both sides of the base 3. The first wire clamping grooves 301 are perpendicular to the guiding cylinder 5.

[0033] An air cushion 6 is wrapped outside the guiding cylinder 5. A first inflation hole is provided on the air cushion 6. A second inflation hole is provided on the base 3. The first inflation hole and the second inflation hole are communicated through a hose 601.

[0034] The telescopic section 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the fixed handle. The guiding cylinder body 5 is provided with through holes, and the positioning screws 201 pass through the through holes and are connected with the positioning holes. The fixed section is detachably connected with the telescopic section 2 through the positioning screws 201.

[0035] One end of the slideway is located in the grip 4, and the other end passes through the base 3 and the guiding cylinder body 5 and extends to the end of the telescopic section 2. The wire clamping block is located at the end of the telescopic section 2.

[0036] The pull rod 7 includes a telescopic rod and a guiding rod 701. The guiding rod 701 is located in the grip 4 and moves along the slideway. The telescopic rod includes an internally threaded tube 702 and an externally threaded tube 703. The externally threaded tube 703 is connected with the guiding rod 701 through the internally threaded tube 702. The externally threaded tube 703 extends out of the guiding cylinder body 5 along the slideway. The wire clamping block includes a base 10 and a rotating head 9. The rotating head 9 is provided with a second wire clamping groove 901 on the side back against the base 10. The base 10 and the rotating head 9 are rotatably connected, and the base 10 is rotatably connected with the externally threaded tube 703.

[0037] The telescopic section 2 is provided with a wire pulling frame 8 and a wire clamping plate 202.

The suture channel and the pull rod 7 are arranged in a staggered manner to avoid interference between the suture passer 1 and the pull rod 7. The leading needle of the suture passer 1 passes through the fixed section through the suture channel, so that the suture passer 1 can penetrate the closing fastener.

[0040] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] Before inserting into the surgical incision, the closing fastener is in the shape of a long rod. At this time, the distance between the wire clamping block and the fixed handle is the largest, the wire pulling frame 8 is in a contracted state, and the first connecting rod 801 and the second connecting rod 802 are parallel to each other.

[0042] Then, according to the specific situation of the surgical incision, determine the length that the fixed handle needs to be adjusted. Before adjusting the length, first remove the positioning screw 201. When adjusting the length, on the one hand, move the telescopic section 2 along the external thread tube 703 by a certain distance, and on the other hand, rotate the rotating head 9 so that the rotating head 9 drives the external thread tube 703 to rotate, so as to synchronously lengthen or shorten the lengths of the fixed handle and the pull rod 7. After adjustment, use the positioning screw 201 to fix the telescopic section 2 and the fixed section again.

[0043] During the process of adjusting the length, since the base 10 is hinged to the wire pulling frame 8, it will not rotate. Moreover, the base 10 and the telescopic section 2 will drive the wire pulling frame 8 to move together, so that the use state of the wire pulling frame 8 is not affected after the length of the closing fastener is changed.

[0044] After inserting the closing fastener into the surgical incision and adjusting the posture of the closing fastener, use the push key 704 to move the pull rod 7, so that the pull rod 7 drives the wire clamping block to move towards the direction close to the fixed handle. During this process, the wire pulling frame 8 will gradually fold. When the distance between the wire clamping block and the fixed handle is the smallest, the wire pulling frame 8 will be completely folded. At this time, the wire pulling frame 8 is triangular, and the second connecting rod 802 is perpendicular to the telescopic section 2. Finally, use a syringe to inflate the second inflation hole so that the air cushion 6 fits at the surgical incision to facilitate the use of the suture passer 1 during subsequent suturing.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
