Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] See Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a new TOM needle, including: a sleeve 100 and a needle core 110, the sleeve 100 is sleeved on the outside of the needle core 110, and a tip is provided at one end of the needle core 110; a sleeve handle 101 is provided at one end of the sleeve 100; a needle core handle 111 is provided at the end of the needle core 110 away from the tip, and the sleeve handle 101 matches the needle core handle 111; a positioning assembly 120 is provided at the other end of the sleeve 100.

[0034] It can be seen that the cannula 100 is used to protect the needle core 110 and provide a stable support structure so that the needle core 110 can be accurately positioned and operated during the operation; the design of the needle core handle 111 and the cannula handle 101 enables the doctor to hold and operate the TOM needle more conveniently when in use; the positioning assembly 120 is used to ensure that the position of the needle core 110 in the cannula 100 is fixed to prevent unnecessary movement during the operation.

[0035] Specifically, the positioning assembly 120 includes: a first conical body 121, which has four first conical bodies 121, and the four first conical bodies 121 are arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 100, and the first conical bodies 121 are located on the side close to the sleeve handle 101; a second conical body 122, which has four second conical bodies 122, and the four second conical bodies 122 are arranged along the circumference of the sleeve 100, and the second conical bodies 122 are located on the side away from the sleeve handle 101, and one end of the second conical body 122 extends into the inner wall of the sleeve 100; wherein, the side of the first conical body 121 away from the sleeve handle 101 and the side of the second conical body 122 close to the sleeve handle 101 have the same shape and are connected.

[0036] It can be seen that the first tapered body 121 and the second tapered body 122 are used to ensure the stable positioning of the needle core 110 within the cannula 100. The arrangement of the four first tapered bodies 121 and the four second tapered bodies 122 allows the positioning assembly 120 to be evenly distributed around the circumference of the cannula 100, thereby providing a more balanced support force and ensuring that the needle core 110 does not shift during surgery. The shape design of the first tapered body 121 and the second tapered body 122 allows them to form a precise positioning space within the cannula 100, in which the needle core 110 can be firmly fixed, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the surgery.

[0037] Specifically, the axial projection length of the first cone 121 on the sleeve 100 is 5 mm.

[0038] Specifically, the axial projection length of the second tapered body 122 on the sleeve 100 is 10 mm.

[0039] It can be seen that by precisely controlling the axial projection lengths of the first and second tapered bodies 121, 122, the positioning accuracy of the core needle 110 within the cannula 100 can be ensured. The shorter axial projection length of the first tapered body 121 helps provide sufficient space at the end of the cannula handle 101, making it easier for the surgeon to grasp and manipulate the TOM needle during surgery. The longer axial projection length of the second tapered body 122 ensures more stable support in the area away from the end of the cannula handle 101, preventing unnecessary movement of the core needle 110 during surgery.

[0040] It can be understood that the material selection of the needle core 110 has good biocompatibility and sufficient strength to ensure that it can withstand various operating forces without deformation or breakage during the operation. Medical stainless steel is preferably used, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties; the surfaces of the cannula 100 and the needle core 110 are finely polished to reduce friction during the operation and improve the smoothness of the operation, and the surface treatment also helps to reduce damage to the tissue; the design of the needle core handle 111 and the cannula handle 101 takes into account ergonomic principles, so that the doctor can maintain a comfortable holding posture during long operations and reduce fatigue; the material selection of the positioning component 120 has good wear resistance and stability to ensure that the positioning component 120 will not be deformed during repeated use, thereby ensuring the stable positioning of the needle core 110 in the cannula 100.

[0041] Specifically, the distance from the end of the second tapered body 122 away from the sleeve handle 101 to the tip is 15 mm.

[0042] It can be seen that by precisely controlling the distance between the end of the second tapered body 122 away from the cannula handle 101 and the tip, the positioning accuracy of the needle core 110 within the cannula 100 can be ensured. This distance setting helps maintain the stability and accuracy of the needle core 110 during surgery while avoiding unnecessary damage to the patient's tissue. This distance setting also takes into account the needs of different surgical procedures, allowing the TOM needle to perform optimally in various surgical scenarios.

[0043] Specifically, the diameter of the needle core 110 is 2.2 mm.

[0044] Specifically, the inner diameter of the sleeve 100 is 2.3 mm, and the outer diameter of the sleeve 100 is 4 mm.

[0045] It can be seen that by precisely controlling the diameters of the core needle 110 and cannula 100, the core needle 110 can slide smoothly within the cannula 100 while maintaining sufficient support. The core needle 110 has a diameter of 2.2 mm, slightly smaller than the 2.3 mm inner diameter of the cannula 100. This provides ample room for the core needle 110 to move and prevent it from getting stuck during surgery. The outer diameter of the cannula 100 is 4 mm, ensuring sufficient strength and stability to protect the core needle 110 and provide reliable support.

[0046] It is understood that the material selection for cannula 100 and needle core 110 also takes into account temperature fluctuations during surgery and sterilization requirements. Medical-grade materials with high-temperature and high-pressure resistance are preferred to ensure they will not deform or damage during high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. The thermal expansion coefficient of the materials is carefully selected to ensure that the precision of the cannula 100 and needle core 110 fits smoothly under varying temperature conditions.

[0047] Specifically, the distance between the farthest point of the positioning assembly 120 away from the side of the sleeve 100 and the outer side wall of the sleeve 100 is 2 mm.

[0048] It can be seen that by precisely controlling the distance between the furthest point on the side of the positioning assembly 120 away from the cannula 100 and the outer wall of the cannula 100, the stable positioning of the needle core 110 within the cannula 100 can be ensured. This distance setting helps maintain the stability and accuracy of the needle core 110 during surgery while avoiding unnecessary damage to the patient's tissue. This distance setting also takes into account the needs of different surgical procedures, allowing the TOM needle to perform optimally in various surgical scenarios.

[0049] Specifically, it also includes: a fixing groove 130, located at the end of the sleeve 100 away from the positioning assembly 120, and the fixing groove 130 is located inside the sleeve handle 101; a fixing rod 131, located at the end of the needle core 110 away from the positioning assembly 120, and the fixing rod 131 is arranged along the axial direction of the needle core 110, one end of the fixing rod 131 is connected to the inner top wall of the needle core handle 111, and the other end of the needle core handle 111 faces the fixing groove 130; wherein, the fixing rod 131 is clamped with the fixing groove 130.

[0050] As can be seen, the design of retaining groove 130 and retaining rod 131 provides a reliable locking mechanism for the core needle 110 and cannula 100. During surgery, retaining rod 131 engages with retaining groove 130, ensuring that the core needle 110 does not accidentally move or slip within cannula 100, thus ensuring surgical stability and safety. This locking mechanism allows the surgeon to focus more on the surgical procedure during delicate procedures, without having to worry about the stability of the core needle 110.

[0051] In summary, the new TOM needle provided in this embodiment has a precise positioning system, balanced support force, ergonomic design, scientific material selection and a reliable locking mechanism. The TOM needle provided in this embodiment provides doctors with an efficient, safe and easy-to-operate surgical tool, which helps to improve the success rate of surgery and reduce patient pain, and thus has broad application prospects in clinical applications.

[0052] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
