Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an orthopedic internal fixation Kirschner wire. Background Art

[0002] Kirschner wires are mainly used to assist in the reduction and fixation of fractures. Due to their advantages such as simple operation, flexibility, small trauma, and low price, they are widely used in orthopedic clinics. The existing Kirschner wires are slender needle-shaped, can be used alone or in combination with other instruments, and are commonly used for the temporary fixation of fracture fragments or the long-term fixation of smaller fracture fragments in orthopedic surgeries. In addition, ordinary Kirschner wires are smooth columnar structures on the surface, with relatively small holding force on fracture fragments, and are prone to loosening, displacement and other situations.

[0003] After retrieval, a Kirschner wire in the field of medical devices with the publication number CN214805269U includes a pressurizing guide pin, a needle tip and a sphere module. A needle hole is provided in the middle of the sphere module. One end of the pressurizing guide pin passes through the needle hole and is connected to the sphere module. The sphere module is located on the outer edge of the pressurizing guide pin. One end of the pressurizing guide pin is provided with a threaded portion, the threaded portion is located on one side of the sphere module, and the top of the threaded portion is connected to the needle tip, and the needle tip is conical. An annular notch is provided on the outer wall of the sphere module. The other end of the pressurizing guide pin is provided with a triangular prism portion. The design of the sphere module of the utility model can control the depth of needle insertion, prevent nerve, blood vessel and important organ injuries caused by excessive needle insertion, and improve safety; the threaded portion design can enhance the holding force on the bone; and further pressurization or distraction operations can be performed on the fracture ends in cooperation with corresponding tool forceps.

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, an embodiment provided by the present utility model is an orthopedic internal fixation Kirschner wire, which includes a needle body 1, which is the main part of the entire orthopedic internal fixation Kirschner wire and is made of a strong titanium alloy material. This material has good biocompatibility and high strength, can stably play a fixation role in the human body, and is not easy to cause adverse reactions such as allergies. A needle tip 2 is provided on the left side of the needle body 1, which can easily penetrate the bone tissue, reducing the pain and damage caused to the patient during insertion. The material of the needle body 1 is titanium alloy material, the length of the needle tip 2 is 1.2 mm, and a threaded groove 3 is provided on the outer side of the left side of the needle body 1, increasing the friction between the needle body 1 and the bone, making the Kirschner wire more stable in the bone and not easy to displace.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, an internal threaded groove 4 is provided inside the needle body 1. The internal threaded groove 4 is for installing and connecting an external threaded rod 5. A connecting component for fixation is provided inside the internal threaded groove 4. The connecting component includes an external threaded rod 5. The right side of the external threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of a fixing block 7. The external thread of the external threaded rod 5 is connected to the inside of the needle body 1, and the external thread of the external threaded rod 5 is connected to the inside of the internal threaded groove 4. A protective cap 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting component. It has good elasticity and flexibility, mainly for protecting the tail of the needle body 1, preventing bacteria and pollutants from the outside from entering the inside of the needle body 1 and causing infection. At the same time, the protective cap 6 can also reduce the stimulation of the tail of the needle body 1 to the surrounding tissues and improve the comfort of the patient. The material of the protective cap 6 is silicone material.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the protective cap 6. A distinguishing block 8 is provided inside the fixing block 7. The fixing block 7 is for installing and connecting the distinguishing block 8. The distinguishing block 8 is convenient for medical staff to quickly identify information such as the model and specification of the Kirschner wire. The distinguishing block 8 can be distinguished by different colors, shapes or marks for different Kirschner wires, enabling medical staff to quickly and accurately select the appropriate Kirschner wire during the operation. A protective layer 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the needle body 1. The material of the protective layer 9 is calcium phosphate material. The protective layer 9 plays a certain antibacterial and anti-corrosion role, protecting the patient's body from infection. Calcium phosphate material has good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, and can promote bone growth and repair.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, first insert the needle body 1 into the part of the bone that needs to be fixed through the needle tip 2. The threaded groove 3 on the needle body 1 can increase the contact stability with the bone to ensure the fixation effect.

[0036] After the needle body 1 is inserted in place, the protection of the tail of the needle body 1 is mainly achieved by the cooperation of the protective cap 6 and the fixing block 7. The external threaded rod 5 fixed on the left side of the protective cap 6 cooperates with the internal threaded groove 4 opened inside the needle body 1. By rotating the protective cap 6, it is gradually tightened along the external threaded rod 5 until it is firmly fixed to the tail of the needle body 1.

[0037] The fixing block 7 and the identification block 8 play the roles of assisting in fixing and identifying. The fixing block 7 can increase the stability of the connection between the protective cap 6 and the tail of the needle body 1, preventing the protective cap 6 from loosening accidentally. The identification block 8 facilitates medical staff to quickly identify information such as the model and specification of the Kirschner wire.

[0038] Meanwhile, the protective layer 9 covers the surface of the needle body 1, which can not only reduce the friction between the needle body 1 and tissues, but also play a certain antibacterial and antiseptic role to protect the patient's body from infection.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
