Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to an omnidirectional nucleus pulposus forceps used for a transforaminal endoscopic view. Background Art

[0002] Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (TELEVISION) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve low back pain and / or radiating leg pain caused by a herniated disc. This procedure utilizes a transforaminal endoscope (a tiny camera and light source) to directly visualize the intervertebral foramen (the opening between the vertebrae), allowing for precise treatment. Specialized instruments (nucleus pulposus forceps / straight forceps) are used under the microscope to remove or reduce the herniated disc material, relieving pressure on the nerve roots.

[0003] However, due to the small grasping part of the nucleus pulposus forceps, it can only grasp a small part of the diseased tissue each time, and the forceps tube cannot rotate axially and laterally, and the control range is limited. Many corners that can be seen under the percutaneous foraminal endoscope cannot be grasped, resulting in incomplete surgical removal. Utility Model Content

[0024] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following is a further detailed description of the omnidirectional nucleus pulposus forceps for transforaminal endoscopic discectomy of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model discloses an omnidirectional nucleus pulposus forceps for transforaminal endoscopic discectomy, comprising a bracket 1, a fixed handle 2 disposed at the rear bottom of the bracket 1, a movable handle 3 disposed at the bottom of the bracket 1 corresponding to the fixed handle 2, a fixed tube 4 disposed at the top of the bracket 1, a clamp tube 5 rotatably connected to the front end of the fixed tube 4, a knob 6 sleeved on the clamp tube 5 near the fixed tube 4, and a plurality of abutments 7 disposed on the sidewall of the fixed tube 4 in a circumferential array and contacting the surface of the knob 6. The friction between the abutments 7 and the knob 6 is increased by the cooperation between the abutments 7 and the knob 6, so that the knob 6 rotates with the clamp tube 5 only when the operator manually rotates the knob 6. When the operator releases the knob 6, the friction prevents the knob 6 from rotating on its own, thereby improving the stability of the structure. The knob 6 is a circular structure, fixedly connected to the clamp tube 5, and the sidewall of the knob 6 is provided with anti-slip grooves to facilitate the rotation of the knob 6. The pressing block 7 is made of rubber material, which increases the friction between the pressing block 7 and the knob 6 .

[0026] An alloy memory hose 8 is provided at one end of the clamp tube 5 away from the fixed tube 4, and two closable grab buckets 9 are provided at one end of the alloy memory hose 8 away from the clamp tube 5, and a toggle mechanism for driving the alloy memory hose 8 to bend forward and backward is provided on the fixed tube 4, and the toggle mechanism includes a toggle block 10 and a connecting wire 12, one end of the toggle block 10 is located above the fixed tube 4, the bottom of the toggle block 10 is located in the inner cavity of the fixed tube 4, and the toggle block 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 11 through a rotating shaft, and the bottom of the connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed tube 4, and the alloy memory hose 8 A cavity 13 is provided inside, one end of the connecting wire 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the toggle block 10, and the other end of the connecting wire 12 passes through the inner cavity of the fixed tube 4 and the clamp tube 5 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the cavity 13. By toggling the toggle block 10 back and forth, the toggle block 10 rotates with the rotating shaft as the center of the circle, thereby pulling or pushing the connecting wire 12, so that the connecting wire 12 pulls or pushes the end of the alloy memory hose 8, so that the alloy memory hose 8 can realize the action of bending and pushing back and forth, which is convenient for orthopedic surgeons to perform surgery, reduces the difficulty of operation, and is conducive to more thorough removal of patients. The grab bucket 9 is provided with a plurality of sharp teeth 14 evenly distributed on the right side. The structure for controlling the opening and closing of the grab bucket 9 is the structure for controlling the opening and closing of the chuck of the existing nucleus pulposus forceps. It will not be elaborated here. The chuck is simply changed to the grab bucket 9. Through the setting of the grab bucket 9, larger diseased tissue can be grabbed each time, so that the protruding annulus fibrosus or nucleus pulposus can be removed more thoroughly. In combination with the 360° rotatable clamp tube 5, all-round rotation control can be achieved, making the surgical operation easier. Through the setting of the sharp teeth 14, the diseased tissue can be quickly removed.

[0027] It is understood that the present invention is described by way of certain embodiments, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, under the guidance of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to suit specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are intended to be protected by the present invention.
