[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the donor cornea trephine of the present invention includes a carrier 1, a pressure ring base 2, and a drill base 3.

[0032] The carrier 1 is a cube, which is convenient for finger gripping; an annular groove 4 is provided in the middle part of the upper surface of the carrier 1, and the annular groove 4 contacts and cooperates with the pressure ring base 2 and the drill base 3; a center hole 16 is provided at the center position of the bottom surface of the annular groove 4. Before the corneal cutting operation, the center of the cornea is marked with a marking pen. The center hole 16 is used to align with the mark at the center of the cornea, so that the doctor can select the appropriate corneal area for cutting; two or more No. 1 air holes 17 are evenly distributed around the center hole 16, and the No. 1 air holes 17 are used to adsorb the cornea; a guide hole 5 is provided at each of the four end corners of the carrier 1, and the guide hole 5 is connected to the No. 1 guide column 9 or the No. 2 guide column 11; a sealing cover 6 is provided at the lower end of the carrier 1, and the sealing cover 6 can seal the air holes on the lower bottom surface of the annular groove 4.

[0033] The pressure ring base 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped, with a through hole 7 provided at the center of the pressure ring base 2, a cylinder 8 provided at the lower end of the through hole 7, and an annular boss 20 provided at the connection between the cylinder 8 and the through hole 7. A No. 1 guide column 9 is provided at each of the four end corners of the lower end surface of the pressure ring base 2, and the position of the No. 1 guide column 9 is adapted to the position of the guide hole 5; when adsorbing the cornea, the pressure ring base 2 is connected to the carrier 1 through the No. 1 guide column 9, and the pressure ring base 2 is located above the carrier 1.

[0034] A No. 2 through hole 10 is provided in the middle position of the drill base 3, and a No. 2 guide column 11 is provided at each of the four end corners of the lower end surface of the drill base 3. The position of the No. 2 guide column 11 is adapted to the position of the guide hole 5. A drill 12 is provided in the No. 2 through hole 10. When performing corneal cutting, the drill base 3 is connected to the carrier 1 through the No. 2 guide column 11, and the drill base 3 is located above the carrier 1.

[0035] The No. 1 guide column 9 and the No. 2 guide column 11 are both cylindrical, and the two ends of the No. 1 guide column 9 and the No. 2 guide column 11 are both set to a hemispherical shape, which is convenient for connection with the guide hole 5; the No. 1 guide column 9 is bonded to the pressure ring base 2 by glue; the No. 2 guide column 11 is bonded to the drill base 3 by glue.

[0036] The bottom of the annular groove 4 is set to be an arc shape, which is adapted to the shape of the cornea and is convenient for placing the cornea; an annular groove 15 is set at the lower part of the annular groove 4, and the annular groove 15 is symmetrically provided with two positioning air holes 18.

[0037] A second air hole 19 communicating with the interior of the carrier 1 is provided on the side of the carrier 1. The carrier 1, the first air hole 17, the second air hole 19, the center hole 16, and the positioning air hole 18 form a ring drill cavity. The outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 8 of the pressure ring base 2 is stuck in the annular groove 15 of the carrier 1. After negative pressure is generated in the ring drill cavity, the first air hole 17 absorbs the cornea, and the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 8 seals the positioning air hole 18, so that the cornea is stretched and flatly attached to the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1, preventing the donor cornea from wrinkling and ensuring the diameter and regular circle of the drill 12.

[0038] The interior of the No. 1 air hole 17 is coated with gentian violet, which marks the cornea and facilitates the subsequent suturing of the cornea.

[0039] The outer cylindrical surface of the drill bit 12 is glued and fixed to the No. 2 through hole 10 with glue, and the lower edge of the drill bit 12 extends out of the lower plane of the drill bit base 3; the drill bit 12 can be selected in different sizes, and the optional sizes of the drill bit 12 are Φ6.25mm, Φ6.5mm, Φ6.75mm, Φ7mm, Φ7.25mm, Φ7.5mm, Φ7.75mm, Φ8mm, Φ8.25mm, Φ8.5mm, Φ8.75mm, Φ9mm, and Φ9.5mm.

[0040] A square groove 13 is provided at the lower end of the side of the carrier 1. The square groove 13 is provided opposite to the second air hole 19. The trachea can pass through the square groove 13. The doctor's assistant can press the syringe at the position of the second air hole 19 to work, or can work at the position of the square groove 13.

[0041] The number of the No. 1 air holes 17 is set to four, which can relatively flatly adsorb the cornea on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1.

[0042] There are four gripping parts 14 on the upper surface of the drill bit base 3. The bottom of the gripping part 14 is hollowed out to reduce the force-bearing area of ​​the drill bit 12, making it easy to install and not easy to deform.

[0043] The blade of the drill bit 12 is arranged in an inverted trapezoidal shape from top to bottom, and the inner and outer walls of the blade of the drill bit 12 are arranged in an arc surface, so that the blade of the drill bit 12 is sharp and easier to cut.

[0044] As an embodiment of the present invention, a small number of No. 1 air holes 17 results in a small negative pressure in the inner cavity of the trephine, making it impossible to adsorb and fix the cornea on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1. A large number of No. 1 air holes 17 will cause more corneal wrinkles. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of No. 1 air holes 17 is 4, the purpose of which is to adsorb the cornea relatively flat on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1. Before the corneal cutting operation, the center of the cornea is marked with a marking pen, and the center hole 16 is used to align with the mark on the center of the cornea to facilitate the doctor to select the appropriate corneal area for cutting. Before the corneal trephine is operated, gentian violet is applied to the inside of the No. 1 air hole 17. After the corneal cutting is completed, the gentian violet leaves a mark on the edge of the cornea to facilitate suturing during corneal transplantation.

[0045] This embodiment requires a syringe and an trachea to be used in conjunction (not shown in the figure). The syringe includes a push rod, a spring sleeved on the push rod, a piston fixed to the end of the push rod, and an air outlet; one end of the trachea is connected to the air outlet of the syringe, and the other end is connected to the No. 2 air hole 19 on the carrier 1. The syringe and the trachea are used for air intake and exhaust of the inner cavity of the trephine. The syringe push rod is slowly pushed down completely and maintained. The spring is compressed and deformed to form a reaction force. The gas in the syringe cavity is discharged to the No. 2 air hole 19 through the trachea, and the syringe forms a negative pressure. At this time, the inner cavity of the trephine is in an air intake state. The syringe push rod is completely released instantly. At this time, the syringe is in an air intake state, and the inner cavity of the trephine is exhausted to the syringe through the No. 2 air hole, and the inner cavity of the trephine generates a negative pressure.

[0046] The working process of this utility model:

[0047] Connect the air outlet of the syringe to one end of the trachea and seal it, connect the other end of the trachea to the No. 2 air hole 19 and seal it, and apply gentian violet to the No. 1 air hole 17; slowly push the syringe push rod downward completely and hold it, the spring is compressed and deformed to form a reaction force, and the gas in the syringe cavity is discharged to the No. 2 air hole 19 through the trachea, and the syringe forms a negative pressure. At this time, the inner cavity of the trephine is in the air intake state, and the inner surface of the donor cornea is flatly placed on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1, and the cornea center mark is aligned with the center hole 16; fix the carrier 1 on a plane, and the four No. 1 guide columns 9 of the pressure ring base 2 are installed in the four guide holes 5 of the carrier 1, and push it downward gently, the outer cylindrical surface of the cylinder 8 of the pressure ring base 2 is stuck in the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1, and the pressure ring base 2 seals the positioning air hole 18 of the carrier 1, so that the cornea is flatly fixed on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1;

[0048] Completely release the syringe push rod instantly. At this time, the syringe is in the air intake state. The inner cavity of the ring drill exhausts air to the syringe through the No. 2 air hole 19, and the inner cavity of the ring drill generates negative pressure. The cornea is adsorbed and fixed on the bottom surface of the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1; gently remove the pressure ring base 2; install the four No. 2 guide columns 11 of the drill base 3 into the four guide holes 5 of the carrier 1, and the outer cylindrical surface of the cylinder 8 of the drill base 3 is stuck in the annular groove 4 of the carrier 1. Press the drill base 3 downward, and cut the corresponding donor cornea diameter according to the different cutting edge diameters of the drill 12. Take out the drill 12, and the donor cornea cutting is completed.

[0049] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
