Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a linear cutting anastomosis device for laparoscopy. Background Technology
[0002] The linear stapler is primarily used in laparoscopic surgery, enabling simultaneous cutting and suturing of tissue. It mainly consists of the stapler body, staple cartridge, cutting blade, and operating handle. During surgery, the surgeon inserts the stapler into the body through the laparoscope. Once it reaches the surgical site, the surgeon adjusts the position and angle of the stapler using the operating handle. After identifying the tissue to be treated, the stapler is activated. The internal mechanical mechanism pushes the staples in the cartridge through the tissue, firmly fixing it in place. Simultaneously, the cutting blade cuts the tissue, completing the cutting and anastomosis operation before the stapler is withdrawn from the body. The linear stapler is suitable for minimally invasive surgery and offers precision and efficiency.
[0003] In linear staplers, the staple cartridge and the stapler body are generally designed separately. The staple cartridge and its cover are attached to the stapler during the surgical preparation stage. When installing the staple cartridge and activating the staples, the head of the stapler must be in an open state. When entering the abdominal cavity via the endoscope, the head of the stapler must be in a closed state. The component that keeps the head of the stapler open is generally an elastic body.
[0004] Traditional linear cutting staplers, such as those attached Figure 1 As shown, one end of the elastic body a is snapped into the staple cartridge f, and the other end abuts against the stapler body g. This structure and connection method of the elastic body a is unstable, and it is easy to detach from the staple cartridge if an external force is applied incorrectly.
[0005] To address this deficiency, such as Figure 2 As shown, Chinese patent CN207804298U discloses a stapler opening device for a laparoscopic linear cutting stapler, which proposes to design the elastic body a' as a V-shaped structure, and fix one end of the elastic body b to the stapler body g', while the other end is used to act on the staple cartridge f'.
[0006] However, this structure has a new drawback: the staple cartridge is attached to the front end of the stapler along with its cap during installation. The cap only needs to be removed before surgery. During the insertion process, firstly, the elastic body b only exerts a force to restore the deformation of the staple cartridge and does not provide any additional fixation. Secondly, the elastic body b also exerts a force on the cap. If the force is not applied properly, the cap may detach during insertion, which will cause the staple cartridge to be exposed prematurely and become ineffective. Utility Model Content
[0007] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of the present invention is to provide a laparoscopic linear cutting anastomosis device.
[0008] According to the present invention, a linear cutting anastomosis device for laparoscopy includes a main body and a staple cartridge seat connected to the main body, and a staple cartridge cover hinged to the staple cartridge seat and capable of angular displacement relative to the staple cartridge seat, wherein a staple chamber is provided between the staple cartridge seat and the staple cartridge cover.
[0009] Specifically, after the main body is connected to the handle, it can control the nail cartridge seat and nail cartridge cover to rotate, open and close. It can also activate the staples in the cartridge and apply them to the affected area. The specific structure and operating principle of the main body are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0010] Unlike traditional linear cutting staplers, this stapler has an elastic element between the staple cartridge cover and the staple chamber, which allows the staple cartridge cover to tend to close and open towards the staple cartridge seat under the action of external force and the elastic deformation of the elastic element. The end of the elastic element that abuts against the staple chamber is a ball, and a groove is provided on the staple chamber at the position corresponding to the ball.
[0011] The advantage of this design is that when the staple cartridge is attached to the staple holder, the elastic element deforms due to the interference of the staple cartridge until the ball aligns with the groove on the staple cartridge. The elastic element can further fix the staple cartridge in place. When the staple cartridge is interfered with by the affected area during subsequent surgical procedures, it can be more stably positioned on the staple holder. In addition, when the ball falls into the groove, it can produce a noticeable tactile feedback or clicking sound, thus reminding the doctor that the staple cartridge is installed in place.
[0012] In some examples of this utility model, the middle part of the elastic element is connected to the nail box cover; specifically, the middle part of the elastic element is bent to form a through hole, and the nail box cover and the through hole are connected by a shaft.
[0013] In some examples of this utility model, the elastic element includes a first extension and a second extension that extend along both sides of the through hole and form an angle with each other;
[0014] The purpose of this design is to allow the first extension to act on the nail cartridge cover, increasing the contact area between the elastic element and the nail cartridge cover, ensuring the support performance of the elastic element at the nail cartridge cover, while the second extension can extend to the nail cartridge.
[0015] In some examples of this utility model, there are two through holes and corresponding first and second extensions, the two first extensions are connected by a crossbeam, and the end of each second extension away from the through hole is connected to a sphere.
[0016] The purpose of this design is that the two through holes and the corresponding two first extensions and two second extensions give the elastic element greater stability. There are also two spheres corresponding to the second extensions, which better adapts to the structure of the staple cartridge. The crossbeam further increases the stability of the elastic element and allows the elastic element to be integrally molded, which is convenient for manufacturing.
[0017] In some examples of this utility model, the nail box cover is provided with a limiting groove for the first extension and the crossbeam to be inserted;
[0018] The purpose of this design is to limit the position of the first extension and the crossbeam on the elastic element, and to ensure that the position of the second extension is also stable, so as to prevent the elastic element from shaking before it is inserted into the cartridge.
[0019] In some examples of this utility model, a staple cartridge cover is also included, and a clearance groove is formed on the staple cartridge cover at a position corresponding to the groove body. The clearance groove extends to the end of the staple cartridge cover to form an opening groove, so that the elastic element can pass through the clearance groove to reach the groove body.
[0020] The purpose of this design is that when the staple cartridge cover is placed into the staple cartridge holder along with the staple cartridge, the second extension can bypass the staple cartridge cover through the clearance groove and be placed into the slot of the staple cartridge, thus avoiding the staple cartridge cover being subjected to force and preventing it from coming off the staple cartridge during insertion.
[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
