Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical apparatus and instruments, especially to a tendon acquisition support. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the progress of medical technology in China, various new technology medical apparatus and instruments are continuously applied in the medical field. In the ACL or PCL reconstruction surgery process, generally, autologous tendons such as hamstring tendons and quadriceps tendons need to be taken. At present, doctors in tendon surgery rely on traditional surgical instruments and naked eye observation, or use some simple auxiliary tools, but these tools often cannot provide enough operation space and clear observation window. That is, there is a lack of equipment that can provide sufficient operation space and effective observation means for tendon cutting during tendon cutting.

[0003] The patent with the patent publication number CN115666407A provides a system and method for collecting tendons, which discloses a support that can provide sufficient operation space and effectively observe the cutting process. When in use, the incision is first reamed by a blunt dissector, then the support is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue along the incision, and the place where the tendon needs to be cut is supported by the support, so as to facilitate subsequent cutting and collection of the tendon.

[0004] In order to facilitate the flexibility of the support and provide a path for the collector to move forward, and to maximize the distance of the tendon that can be collected by the collector, a notch is formed on one end of the support near the nose.

[0005] However, since the cut muscle has a certain flexibility, when the support is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue along the incision, the muscle may enter the inside of the support from the notch. As the support continues to be inserted into the incision, the muscle entering the notch is easily damaged by the support. At the same time, when the collector reaches the deep part, the top of the collector is easily inserted into the muscle at the top of the support, causing unnecessary damage to the muscle. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] In order to reduce the probability of muscle damage at the notch when the support is inserted into the incision, and also reduce the damage of the collector to the muscle at the top of the support, the utility model provides a tendon acquisition support.

[0007] The utility model provides a tendon acquisition support, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] A tendon acquisition support device comprises a shell, which is an elongated body structure with a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end has a smaller profile than the distal end and is inserted into an incision first when inserted, a notch is formed on the top of the proximal end, a baffle is rotatably arranged on the shell to close the notch, the baffle can only rotate outside the shell, and the baffle can be pushed by a collector from inside the shell to open the notch.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the shell is inserted into the incision and moves to the deep part of the incision, the proximal end top muscle is prevented from entering the notch by the cooperation of the baffle and the limiting block, thereby reducing the probability of muscle damage at the notch when the support device is inserted into the incision; meanwhile, when the collector collects the tendon, the notch avoids the collector, the collector abuts against the baffle and pushes the muscle on the upper part of the notch through the baffle, thereby reducing the probability of muscle damage on the upper part of the notch by the collector.

[0010] Further, the side wall of the baffle is inclined, the side wall of the baffle is inclined towards the center of the baffle, and the end face area of the side wall of the baffle away from the inside of the shell is larger than the end face area of the side wall of the baffle close to the inside of the shell, the baffle and the side wall of the notch are mutually clamped and cooperated to prevent the baffle from entering the inside of the shell.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the side wall of the baffle is inclined, and the end face area of the side wall of the baffle away from the inside of the shell is larger than the end face area of the side wall of the baffle close to the inside of the shell, so as to prevent the baffle from entering the inside of the shell when the baffle and the notch are clamped and cooperated, and the end face area of the side wall of the baffle away from the inside of the shell is larger, thereby reducing the probability of muscle clamping between the baffle and the notch gap when the baffle closes the notch.

[0012] Further, a limiting block is arranged in the inside of the shell to prevent the baffle from entering the inside of the shell, and the limiting block and the collector are mutually avoided.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, the limiting block fixedly installed in the inside of the shell abuts against the end face of the baffle close to the inside of the shell, so as to prevent the baffle from moving to the inside of the shell, and the limiting block and the side wall of the notch are cooperated, thereby improving the blocking effect of the baffle.

[0014] Further, the proximal end top is an inclined structure, the notch is formed on the inclined structure, and the top of the baffle is rotatably arranged on the top of the notch.

[0015] By adopting the technical scheme, when the collector pushes the baffle to rotate from the inside of the shell, the bottom of the baffle rotates away from the inside of the shell, and then the muscle close to the baffle is pushed away from the notch, and when the collector moves back, the muscle pushes the baffle to close the notch, and since the rotation shaft of the baffle is located at the top of the notch, the probability of the muscle being stuck in the gap between the baffle and the notch is reduced.

[0016] Further, a plurality of air holes are formed on the baffle to facilitate the communication between the outside of the proximal end and the inside of the shell.

[0017] By adopting the technical scheme, when the baffle closes the notch, the air hole timely discharges the gas in the incision into the shell and finally discharges it out of the body, so as to facilitate the insertion of the shell into the incision.

[0018] Further, a nose portion is arranged on the side of the proximal end away from the distal end to facilitate the reaming of the incision, and the inside of the nose portion is hollow.

[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, the hollow nose portion facilitates the reaming of the incision, so as to facilitate the insertion of the shell into the shell.

[0020] Further, a limiting convex ring is arranged on the distal end to prevent the shell from continuing to be inserted into the incision.

[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, when the shell is inserted into the incision, the limiting convex ring abuts against the outer skin of the incision, so as to prevent the shell from continuing to be inserted into the incision, and finally achieve the effect of limiting the depth of the shell inserted into the incision.

[0022] Further, a collection port for collecting the tendon is formed on the bottom of the shell, and the collection port is in communication with the distal end.

[0023] By adopting the technical scheme, the collector slides in the shell along the length direction of the collection port and cuts and collects the tendon.

[0024] Further, the shell and the baffle are made of transparent material.

[0025] By adopting the technical scheme, the shell and the baffle made of transparent material facilitate the observation of the inside of the shell, so that the doctor can clearly see the situation of the operation area.

[0026] In summary, the utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] The probability of muscle injury in the notch when the support is inserted into the incision is reduced by the cooperation of the baffle and the limiting protrusion and the prevention of the proximal top muscle from entering the notch during the insertion of the shell into the incision; meanwhile, the notch avoids the collector when the collector collects the tendon, the collector abuts against the baffle and pushes the muscle on the upper part of the notch through the baffle, thereby reducing the probability of muscle injury on the upper part of the notch.
