Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a fixing device for achilles tendon suture repair. Background Technique
[0002] Achilles tendon rupture is usually caused by sports injuries or external force cutting, resulting in the rupture of the achilles tendon tissue. At present, the clinical methods for suture repair of ruptured achilles tendon mainly include open surgery, percutaneous minimally invasive suture surgery, and treatment with a minimally invasive achilles tendon rupture channel anastomosis device. The traditional achilles tendon suture surgery is open surgery, which requires exposing the normal part of the achilles tendon. This method has a large incision and requires stripping the tendon sheath. Therefore, the blood supply of the achilles tendon tissue is severely damaged, and the incidence of complications is relatively high. The complications include achilles tendon re-rupture, skin necrosis, infection, joint stiffness, etc.; another is percutaneous minimally invasive suture surgery, whose operation process is to make 6 small incisions on both sides of the achilles tendon and suture the ruptured achilles tendon percutaneously. This method has less damage and the probability of complications is greatly reduced. However, since the suture process cannot directly observe the achilles tendon stump, the operation difficulty is large, the quality of the stump repair cannot be guaranteed, and sural nerve injury may be caused; the more advanced surgical method is the minimally invasive achilles tendon rupture channel anastomosis device. The production cost and the cost for end-users of this product are both relatively high, and the surgical process is slightly complicated.
[0003] In view of this, it is urgent to provide a fixing device for achilles tendon suture repair that can be operated simply, promote wound healing, and reduce complications without affecting the suture repair effect of the ruptured achilles tendon. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, the following describes the utility model clearly and completely with reference to specific embodiments.
[0029] An embodiment of the utility model provides a fixation device for Achilles tendon suture repair, as Figures 1-4 shown, which includes:
[0030] The fixed body 1 is arranged at the calf 30 - 50 mm above the incision 100 at the broken Achilles tendon, and the length of the incision 100 is 15 - 20 mm; it includes an arc-shaped fixator 1-1, on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped fixator 1-1, there are several positioning needles 1-2 for piercing into the Achilles tendon tissue, and on the outer arc surface, there is an adhesive (not shown in the figure);
[0031] The self-adhesive bandage 2 is pasted on the outside of the adhesive, and it is used to wind and fix the arc-shaped fixator 1-1;
[0032] The suture Ⅰ 3 sutures the distal broken Achilles tendon and the proximal broken Achilles tendon that has been stretched downward by a preset distance in advance (specifically, contact suture). Among them, the proximal broken Achilles tendon is stretched downward by more than 8 - 12 mm of the distal broken Achilles tendon; a dressing is applied on the outside of the suture Ⅰ 3; the suture Ⅰ 3 is an absorbable suture, and the dressing 4 is a chitosan gel or a collagen liquid dressing;
[0033] The suture Ⅱ 5 sutures the incision 100 together, and a hemostatic sponge and a gauze are sequentially arranged on the outside of the suture Ⅱ 5; the suture Ⅱ 5 is a non-absorbable suture, and the hemostatic sponge 6 is a chitosan hemostatic sponge or a collagen hemostatic sponge.
[0034] When the fixing device for Achilles tendon suture and repair provided by the present utility model is in use, as Figure 1 shown, an incision 100 of 15 - 20 mm is made at the broken Achilles tendon, the proximal end of the broken Achilles tendon is clamped with a hemostatic forceps, pulled forcefully to the distal end, and stretched by more than 8 - 12 mm at the distal broken Achilles tendon, so that the two broken ends can be in a relaxed state when sutured, reducing the tension.
[0035] After that, the fixed body 1 is placed 30 - 50 mm above the incision 100, and pressed forcefully so that all the positioning needles 1-2 pierce into the Achilles tendon tissue, then the self-adhesive bandage 2 is pasted on the outside of the adhesive, and the fixed body 1 is wound and fixed; after that, the proximal broken Achilles tendon and the distal broken Achilles tendon are sutured in contact with each other by the suture Ⅰ 3 (absorbable suture), and a chitosan gel or a collagen liquid dressing 4 is applied. Further, the skin incision 100 is sutured with non-absorbable suture needles, a chitosan hemostatic sponge 6 or a collagen hemostatic sponge 6 is pasted on, and finally the wound is wrapped with a gauze.
[0036] The fixing device for Achilles tendon suture repair provided by the utility model sets the fixator as an arc shape, and a number of positioning needles 1-2 are arranged on the inner arc surface of the fixing body 1, which can effectively prevent the avulsion of the Achilles tendon at the positioning part. The absorbable suture needle thread is used to suture the broken ends of the Achilles tendon, which can avoid secondary trauma caused by suture removal. By using the dressing 4 (specifically, it can be chitosan gel or collagen liquid dressing) to smear the sutured broken ends of the Achilles tendon, it can effectively promote tissue healing and prevent tissue adhesion. By using the hemostatic sponge 6 (specifically, it can be chitosan hemostatic sponge or collagen hemostatic sponge) to attach to the skin wound, it can effectively promote the healing of the skin wound and reduce scar formation.
[0037] The fixing device for Achilles tendon suture repair provided by the invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has reliable stability and is convenient for transportation; on the premise of not affecting the suture repair effect of the broken Achilles tendon, it can also be operated simply, promote wound healing and reduce complications, and has a broad market prospect.
[0038] Next, the utility model further describes the structure of the fixing body 1.
[0039] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the dimensions of the arc-shaped fixator 1-1 in length, width and thickness are respectively (30-100)×(30-100)×(5-10) mm. Whether the long side is arc-shaped or the wide side is arc-shaped, this dimension refers to the length of the arc (as shown by a in the figure); in the embodiment of the utility model, it is preferred that the length and width of the arc-shaped fixator 1-1 are the same.
[0040] In a possible implementation manner, the material of the arc-shaped fixator 1-1 is PC, ABS, PP, PA, PTFE or PS, and the material of the positioning needle 1-2 is 316L stainless steel.

The length of the short side of the isosceles trapezoid is 6-8 mm, the length of the long side is 10-12 mm, and the height is 10-12 mm. Among them, the length of the short side and the length of the long side both refer to the center distance between two positioning needles 1-2, and the height refers to the vertical distance between the short side and the long side. As Figure 4 shown, L1 represents the length of the short side, L2 represents the length of the long side, and h represents the height.
[0042] In the above case, the lengths of the first positioning pin 1-2-1 and the second positioning pin 1-2-2 located diagonally are 10-12 mm, and the lengths of the third positioning pin 1-2-3 and the fourth positioning pin 1-2-4 located at the other diagonal are 6-8 mm; the diameters of the 4 positioning pins 1-2 are all 1.5-2.0 mm.
[0043] The preparation method of the fixing body 1 can adopt the following steps:
