[0013] Advantages

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the surgical suture device for preventing accidental injury has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. Since the suture needle is located in the first hollow pipe or the second hollow pipe in the preparation stage, the suture stage and the completion stage, the suture needle is not exposed throughout the process, so there is no risk of accidentally injuring the operator, the puncture ability of the suture needle is retained, and the operator is not injured, and the use is safer. After puncture is completed, the suture line can be knotted by hand.

[0016] 2. The radii of the first circular segment, the second circular segment and the suture needle are the same, so that the suture needle can smoothly reach the second hollow pipe from the first hollow pipe, and the problem of jamming is not prone to occur. The first circular segment and the second circular segment are respectively arranged on the first hollow pipe and the second hollow pipe, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the suture device and ensuring that the flexible push rod can slide in the middle of the first circular segment and the second circular segment, thereby completing the action of pushing the suture needle.

[0017] 3. The operating part of the flexible push rod is convenient for hand holding and operation, and cooperates with the reset spring to enable the flexible push rod to quickly reset.

[0018] 4. Since the part of the patient's body that needs to be sutured is sandwiched between the needle outlet and the needle inlet of the hollow tube, a certain distance needs to be left between the needle outlet and the needle inlet. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the centers of the first arc segment and the second arc segment of the hollow tube are basically coincident. This is to ensure that the suture needle can smoothly enter the second hollow tube through the needle inlet after passing through the needle outlet of the first hollow tube. At this time, the actual position of the limiting block can be used to determine whether the centers of the first arc segment and the second arc segment have coincided.

[0019] 5. The suture needle can be limited by the cooperation of the protrusion and the limiting groove, which prevents the suture needle from accidentally falling off when the flexible push rod is not acting on the suture needle.

[0020] 6. An anti-deviation limiting structure is provided between the opposite ends of the two rotating limiting blocks. The anti-deviation limiting structure includes a matching limiting slot and a limiting protrusion. The limiting slot and the limiting protrusion are respectively set on the two rotating limiting blocks. By setting the anti-deviation limiting structure, the problem of lateral displacement when the two rotating limiting blocks come into contact with each other is prevented.

The needle outlet 14 is arranged at the end of the first circular arc segment 11, and the needle inlet 20 is arranged at the end of the second circular arc segment. The length of the straight line segment 12 is greater than that of the first circular arc segment 11, so as to ensure that the straight line segment 12 can be held by a hand. The length of the straight line segment 12 is close to the length of a signing pen, and the size of the circle formed by the first circular arc segment 11 and the second circular arc segment is similar to the size of a key ring. In order to ensure the easy operation of the flexible push rod 4, the flexible push rod 4 is made of a material with certain hardness and elasticity, for example, a stainless steel wire with certain elastic deformation capacity.

[0034] The flexible push rod 4 is arranged in the straight line segment 12 of the first hollow tube 1 from one end, and one end of the flexible push rod 4 is located in the first circular arc segment 11. The other end of the flexible push rod 4 is located outside the first hollow tube 1 and is connected with an operating part 10. A return spring 9 is connected between the operating part 10 and one end of the straight line segment 12.

[0035] The first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2 are provided with a rotation limiting structure. The rotation limiting structure comprises rotation limiting top blocks 8 arranged on at least one of the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2. In the embodiment, the number of the rotation limiting top blocks 8 is two, and the rotation limiting top blocks 8 are arranged on the first circular arc segment 11 of the first hollow tube 1 and the second circular arc segment of the second hollow tube 2 respectively. The two rotation limiting top blocks 8 are symmetrically arranged, and when the ends of the two rotation limiting top blocks 8 contact each other, the centers of the first circular arc segment 11 of the first hollow tube 1 and the second circular arc segment of the second hollow tube 2 coincide, and at this time, a certain gap (the size of the gap is not more than 1 / 3 of the length of the suture needle 5) is left between the needle outlet 14 and the needle inlet 20, which is used for clamping the human tissue to be sutured in the middle.

[0036] The two rotation limiting top blocks 8 are arranged on the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2 respectively, and a deviation limiting structure is arranged between the opposite ends of the two rotation limiting top blocks 8. The deviation limiting structure comprises a limiting slot 151 and a limiting protrusion 152 which are matched with each other, and the limiting slot 151 and the limiting protrusion 152 are arranged on the two rotation limiting top blocks 8 respectively. When the ends of the two rotation limiting top blocks 8 contact each other, the limiting protrusion 152 extends into the inside of the limiting slot 151, so as to ensure that the needle outlet 14 and the needle inlet 20 can be aligned with each other.

[0037] In addition, the number of the rotation limiting top blocks 8 can also be one, for example, the rotation limiting top block 8 is arranged on the first hollow tube 1, and when the end of the rotation limiting top block 8 just abuts against the outer wall of the second hollow tube 2, the centers of the first circular arc segment 11 of the first hollow tube 1 and the second circular arc segment of the second hollow tube 2 coincide, and at this time, a certain gap is left between the needle outlet 14 and the needle inlet 20.

[0038] The first hollow tube 1 is provided with a first limiting structure for limiting the position of the suture needle 5. In the embodiment, the first limiting structure comprises a plurality of first protrusions 13 arranged on the inner wall of the first hollow tube 1. The side wall of the suture needle 5 is provided with two limiting grooves 51, and each limiting groove 51 is arranged around the axis of the suture needle 5. The first protrusions 13 and the limiting grooves 51 are in clamping connection. The first protrusions 13 are in hemispherical shape, and at least two first protrusions 13 correspond to one limiting groove 51. When the suture needle 5 is located in the first hollow tube 1, the suture thread 7 connected to the tail end of the suture needle 5 bypasses the first protrusions 13 and passes through the gap between the suture needle 5 and the first hollow tube 1, and the other end of the suture thread 7 extends out of the first hollow tube 1.
