Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a suture forceps. Background Art
[0002] As a minimally invasive surgical method, laparoscopic surgery has been increasingly widely used due to its characteristics of less tissue dissection, less surgical trauma, and rapid postoperative recovery. Different from open surgery, the operating space under the laparoscope is narrow (skin incision of 2 mm to 5 mm), and it is difficult to suture. Existing open suture surgical instruments are usually relatively large in size and have complex operating steps. Therefore, when using existing instruments, only through years of experience accumulation can one master the suture technique under the laparoscope proficiently, which requires a lot of time to practice. Even for experienced doctors, it takes a long time to suture the Achilles tendon tissue under the laparoscope, and the suture accuracy and efficiency are not high. This suture technique mastered by only a few people takes a long time during the operation, which not only increases the workload of doctors, but also brings inconvenience to patients during the long suture process and is not easy to promote.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0034] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0035] The present utility model provides an embodiment of a first suture forceps, and the specific structure is as Figure 1-4 shown, including a fixed forceps handle 100 and a movable forceps handle 200 hinged to each other at one end. A first collar 210 is provided at one end of the movable forceps handle 200, and a first cylinder 220 is provided at the other end. A second collar 110 is provided at one end of the fixed forceps handle 100, and a second cylinder 120 is provided at the other end. The first cylinder 220 is hinged to the second cylinder 120. A hollow-structured forceps rod 300 is provided at the hinged end of the fixed forceps handle 100. One end of the forceps rod 300 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder 120, and a fixed forceps jaw 600 is provided at the other end. An active part 400 is provided inside the forceps rod 300. One end of the active part 400 is rotatably connected to the movable forceps handle 200, and a movable forceps jaw 500 matching the fixed forceps jaw 600 is provided at the other end. The movable forceps jaw 500 is rotatably connected to the active part 400, and an elastomer 700 with shape memory is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connection part. The elastomer 700 can separate the movable forceps jaw 500 from the fixed forceps jaw 600 when the active part 400 is not under external force.
[0036] As Figure 2 shown, the active part 400 is a rod-shaped structure, and a first tooth 410 is provided at its end. A second tooth 221 is provided on the outer wall of the first cylinder 220. The first tooth 410 cooperates with the second tooth 221. Therefore, the operator controls the rotation of the movable forceps jaw 500 towards the fixed forceps jaw 600 by rotating the movable forceps handle 200 to realize puncturing and suturing the surface.
[0037] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the movable jaw 500 is L-shaped and bent towards the fixed jaw 600. The fixed jaw 600 is arc-shaped and bent towards the direction of the movable jaw 500. The L-shaped movable jaw 500 includes a connected long rod 510 and a short rod 520. The long rod 510 is connected to the movable part 400, and the elastic body 700 is sleeved on the long rod 510 and occupies half or more of the length of the long rod. The elastic body 700 is made of a shape memory metal material or a shape memory polymer material, so as to facilitate the elastic body 700 to drive the movable jaw 500 to rebound to the initial position. A first through hole 530 is formed in the movable jaw 500, and the front end is a tip 540. A second through hole 610 is formed in the fixed jaw 600, and the second through hole 610 is arranged opposite to the tip 540.
[0038] When the suture forceps provided by the present utility model are applied to perform suture operations in endoscopic surgeries, the specific operations are as follows: The suture passes through the first through hole 530 on the movable jaw 500 and winds back to form a double suture; the fixed jaw 600, movable jaw 500, forceps rod 300, fixed forceps handle 100, and movable forceps handle 200 of the suture forceps pass through the endoscopic working channel and enter the joint interior; with the assistance of the arthroscope, the suture position is found; the fixed forceps handle 100 and movable forceps handle 200 of the suture forceps are operated to make the fixed jaw 600 and movable jaw 500 in an open state and located on both sides of the suture surface to be sutured respectively; the fixed jaw 600 is attached to one side of the suture surface to serve as a stress point for the convenience of the doctor's operation; the needle entry point of the movable jaw 500 is found under the arthroscope; the movable forceps handle 200 of the suture forceps is operated to drive the movable part 400 by the movable forceps handle 200. The movable part 400 slides backward in the forceps rod 300, and then drives the movable jaw 500 to rotate inwards and pierce into the suture surface and the second through hole 610 on the fixed jaw 600; when the first through hole 530 at the front end of the movable jaw 500 carries the double suture and passes through the second through hole 610, when the movable forceps handle 200 is released and restored to the initial position, the elastic body 700 drives the movable jaw 500 to rotate outwards and separate from the fixed jaw 600, and returns to the position when in the open state, completing one suture.
[0039] As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the present utility model also provides a second embodiment, whose structure is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except for the connection driving mode with the movable pliers handle 200. In this embodiment, the movable part 400 is a flexible structure, which is an elastic conveyor belt structure. The first cylinder 220 and the movable pliers jaw 500 are driven and connected through the movable part 400 of the conveyor belt structure. The middle part of the movable part 400 is sleeved and fixed on the outer periphery of the first cylinder 220, and both ends respectively pass through the pliers rod 300 and are fixed to the upper and lower outer walls of the movable pliers jaw 500 by screws 420. The movable part 400 can transmit the rotational relationship between the movable pliers handle 200 and the movable pliers jaw 500, and realize the rotation of the movable pliers jaw 500 by rotating the movable pliers handle 200 to complete suturing.
[0040] The above content is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, many changes can be made in the specific implementation manners and application scopes according to the idea of the present utility model. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of the present utility model, they all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
