Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical surgical instruments, specifically to a forceps with the function of removing surgical sutures. Background Technology

[0002] Post-operatively, if there are no local or systemic abnormalities, and it is time to remove sutures, or if there are local wound abnormalities requiring exposure and drainage, medical staff will remove the sutures on the surface of the wound. The traditional method involves using forceps in a well-lit environment to lift the suture end, pulling the buried segment slightly beyond the needle puncture site, and then cutting it with scissors or a disposable sterile blade. The suture is then pulled out towards the cut with forceps. This method requires an additional pair of sterile scissors, increasing resource costs. Furthermore, if the suture tension is high and it is tightly adhered to the skin, cutting it with scissors becomes very difficult, prolonging the procedure. Secondly, using a disposable sterile blade to cut sutures can easily damage the patient's skin, causing pain and bleeding, prolonging wound healing time, reducing patient satisfaction, and potentially leading to medical disputes. It also poses a serious risk of puncture and cut to the operator, resulting in occupational exposure. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a forceps with surgical suture removal function includes: two clamping arms 1 and a blade 2. The two clamping arms 1 are connected at one end and have two clamping openings 3 at the other end.

[0031] The open end 3 is set at an angle with the clamping arm 1, and the open end 3 is provided with a cutting tool 2.

[0032] Specifically, the tweezers include two gripping arms 1 and two blades 2. The two gripping arms 1 are connected at one end. The gripping arms 1 are made of high-toughness metal and have a certain degree of opening. After one end is connected, the other end has an opening. Squeezing the gripping arm 1 can close the opening end 3. After releasing, the opening end 3 opens due to the elasticity of the gripping arm 1 itself, thus realizing the basic function of the tweezers.

[0033] The other end is provided with two clamping open ends 3; the open ends 3 and the clamping arm 1 are at an angle, and the open ends 3 are provided with blades 2; one end of the clamping arm 1 is provided with an upturned open end 3. After the tweezers pick up the suture from the bottom, they are upturned to make the suture slide towards the middle of the open end 3, and then the blade 2 cuts the suture with pressure. After cutting, the tweezers are used to clamp the suture out. This design allows medical staff to easily operate the tweezers with one hand to complete the suture removal work.

[0034] Furthermore, the angle between the open end 3 and the clamping arm 1 is set to 140 degrees to 170 degrees.

[0035] An angle is provided between the mouth end and the clamping arm 1, preferably between 140 and 170 degrees. This angle range is optimized to provide the best operating field of vision and force transmission, improve the comfort and accuracy of operation, and make it easier for medical staff to find the incision angle and lift the suture for cutting.

[0036] Furthermore, the cutting tool 2 is positioned on the lifting side of the open end 3.

[0037] This design allows the stitches to be easily cut by the blade 2 after they are lifted.

[0038] Furthermore, the open end 3 is provided with a slit 4, and the cutter 2 is detachably disposed in the slit 4.

[0039] The slit 4 is set as an elastic slit 4, in which the cutter 2 is firmly clamped after insertion, and the tip 5 is fixed in it after installation to prevent it from slipping out.

[0040] Furthermore, the open end 3 is provided with a pointed tip 5 for lifting the seam thread.

[0041] The open end 3 is detachably equipped with a pointed tip 5 for lifting the suture, and the blade 2 is located on the lifting side of the open end 3. The design of the pointed tip 5 facilitates precise lifting of the suture, and allows for accurate insertion of the suture in wounds with thin or dense sutures, while the position of the blade 2 ensures the convenience and safety of the cutting action.

[0042] Furthermore, the tip 5 is smoothly connected to the cutter 2.

[0043] The blade 2 is detachably installed in the slit 4 of the open end 3, with the tip 5 smoothly connected to the blade 2. This design ensures the stability of the blade 2 and facilitates replacement and maintenance. At the same time, after the tip 5 lifts the suture, medical staff can tilt the forceps upward to allow the suture to slide into the blade 2 for cutting. The smooth connection can prevent the suture from getting stuck and improve the efficiency of suture removal.

[0044] Furthermore, a lighting mechanism 6 is provided at one end of the clamping arm 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the lighting mechanism 6 includes a light source and a battery.

[0046] The clamping arm 1 and the opening end 3 are made of transparent material so that the light source can pass through the clamping arm and the opening end 3 to illuminate the wound and facilitate the operation of medical staff.

[0047] Specifically, a light source is provided at one end of the clamping arm 1, and the battery is built into the clamping arm 1 and is set as a removable button battery for easy replacement.

[0048] Furthermore, a protective pad 7 is provided on the other side of the opening end 3 where the cutter 2 is located.

[0049] When lifting sutures, the skin around the wound will inevitably be used as a fulcrum. The pad 7 can prevent the tweezers from scratching the patient. The pad 7 is made of silicone and fits the opening end 3 without adding extra volume.

[0050] Furthermore, the clamping arm 1 is provided with an anti-slip layer 8.

[0051] The anti-slip layer 8 can be set with a textured surface or a silicone layer to enhance the grip stability for medical staff.

[0052] The specific operation process is as follows:

[0053] 1. Preparation

[0054] Healthcare workers must wear appropriate work clothes, caps, and masks, trim their nails, and thoroughly wash their hands using the six-step handwashing technique. A sterile dressing kit should be prepared, including tweezers, sterile dressings, iodine solution, and adhesive tape.

[0055] 2. Disinfect skin

[0056] Disinfect the skin around the surgical incision with iodine solution or other suitable disinfectant to ensure the entire operating area is sterile. Disinfection should proceed from the center of the incision outwards to avoid introducing external bacteria into the wound.

[0057] 3. Lift the seam

[0058] Turn on the light source, insert the tip 5 of the forceps into the suture, and lift it upwards to expose a small portion of the suture buried in the skin. Be careful to be gentle and avoid pulling to prevent pain to the patient or damage to surrounding tissues.

[0059] 4. Cut the suture.

[0060] Lift the tweezers upwards to allow the suture to slide from the tip 5 to the opening end 3 (blade 2). Continue lifting the tweezers, and the blade 2 will cut the suture under its own pressure, reducing the risk of infection.

[0061] 5. Pull out the seam.

[0062] After cutting the suture, one end of the suture will naturally protrude from the middle of the forceps. Use the forceps to grasp the suture end and gently pull it out, ensuring the suture is completely removed from the skin. During the procedure, keep the forceps stable to avoid unnecessary pain or secondary injury caused by shaking.

[0063] 6. Disinfect again

[0064] After removing all sutures, disinfect the skin again with povidone-iodine to ensure there is no residual dirt or bacteria. Then cover with sterile gauze and secure with adhesive tape to protect the wound and promote healing.

[0065] 7. Observe the condition of the wound.

[0066] Within 1-2 days after suture removal, the wound should be closely monitored for any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, or oozing. If any abnormalities are found, appropriate measures should be taken promptly.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
