Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a skull bone trough shaping and comparison tool. Background Art
[0002] In modern neurosurgery, the placement of neuromodulatory implants requires the creation of a "bone socket" in the patient's skull. To ensure the socket is appropriately sized and matches the implant, clinicians typically use a steel ruler, a sterile marker, and the implant itself to compare its position and size. However, existing methods for creating a bone socket present several challenges. First, this method relies heavily on the clinician's skill and experience, increasing the complexity and difficulty of the procedure. Second, existing tools have practical limitations, requiring the surgeon to precisely measure and mark within the limited surgical field of view and operating space, requiring a high level of technical skill. Furthermore, due to the numerous variables involved in the surgical process, the position and size of the created bone socket are difficult to fully control, potentially resulting in an incomplete fit with the implant, compromising surgical outcomes. Finally, this method can cause greater damage to the patient or the implant, increasing the risk of postoperative complications. To address these issues, future surgical tools and techniques may require greater intelligence and precision, such as using 3D printing to prefabricate a bone socket template tailored to the patient's anatomy, or utilizing robotic-assisted surgical systems to enhance precision and stability. This could reduce surgical difficulty, minimize the risk of injury, and improve surgical success rates. Summary of the Invention

The length of the handheld component 1 is designed based on ergonomics and safety, ensuring that the doctor will not experience fatigue or inconvenience during operation due to the handheld component 1 being too long or too short, and ensuring that there are no safety hazards caused by improper length during use.
[0034] In the skull bone trough shaping comparison tool provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the extension directions of the handle 11 and the front rod 12 are consistent.
[0035] In the skull bone trough shaping comparison tool provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the handle 11 is uniform; in a specific embodiment, the diameter of the handle 11 is 8-12 mm, and can be optionally 8-10 mm or 10-12 mm.
[0036] In the skull bone trough shaping and comparison tool provided in the present embodiment, the handle 11 is provided with anti-slip patterns or anti-slip particles, which are produced through processes such as embossing and sandblasting. The design of the anti-slip patterns or anti-slip particles effectively increases the friction of the handle, making the grip more stable and improving operational accuracy. In addition, this design can also disperse hand pressure and reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
[0037] In the skull bone trough forming comparison tool provided in the embodiment of the present invention, under normal circumstances, the size of the comparison part 2 needs to be designed according to the size of the implant, and then the groove is cut on the skull 4. The size of the comparison part 2 is consistent with the implant, which is convenient for accurate confirmation of the implant position and control of the size of the bone trough 3, and effectively solves the problems that the bone trough creation method in the actual operation process is highly dependent on the clinician's technique and experience, the tool operation is difficult, the bone trough position and size are difficult to control, and the creation process is easy to cause damage to the patient himself or the implant. In a specific embodiment, the width of the comparison part 2 is 25-35mm, which can be optionally 25-30mm or 30-35mm. The length of the comparison part 2 is 30-40mm, which can be optionally 30-35mm or 35-40mm. The thickness of the comparison part 2 is 4-6mm, which can be optionally 4-5mm or 5-6mm.

The metal material can be titanium and titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, stainless steel or nickel-titanium alloy, etc., and the non-metallic material can be a high-performance polymer polyetheretherketone, polyurethane, polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid, etc. The skull bone trough forming comparison tool is made by CNC (computer numerical control), discharge or polishing processes. CNC and discharge machining technology can achieve high-precision processing of hard materials and complex shapes, ensuring that the size and shape of the tool meet the design requirements. The polishing process can significantly improve the surface finish of the tool, thereby reducing damage to the skull during use.
[0040] The use process of this utility model:
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in the skull bone trough forming comparison tool provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the size (including length, width and thickness) of the comparison part 2 of the skull bone trough forming comparison tool is customized in advance according to the implant that the patient needs to implant into the skull 4. During the operation, the doctor pre-cuts the patient's skull flap to expose the surgical area, holds the handle 11 of the skull bone trough forming comparison tool, places the skull bone trough forming comparison tool on the skull 4, and creates a bone trough 3 on the patient's skull 4 according to the size of the comparison part 2 to ensure that the bone trough 3 can perfectly match the size and shape of the implant. After the bone trough 3 is created, the implant is implanted into the created bone trough 3, and the final adjustment and fixation are performed to ensure that the position and direction of the implant are completely in line with the surgical expectations.
[0042] Through the above-mentioned design, the utility model provides a safe and reliable way to create a bone groove. First, it reduces the dependence on the clinician's skills and experience, making the surgical process more standardized and controllable. Secondly, the combined use of the handheld component 1 and the comparison part 2 makes the tool operation easier, reduces the complexity and difficulty of the operation, and the doctor can perform the operation more conveniently, saving operation time, improving the success rate of the operation and the patient's postoperative recovery quality. In addition, the customized comparison part 2 ensures the precise control of the position and size of the bone groove 3, avoids the problem of implant mismatch due to errors, and reduces the risk of damage to the patient himself or the implant during the operation. This innovation not only has significant advantages in technology, but also shows great potential and value in clinical applications.
