Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an ossicle prosthesis that can rotate in two dimensions and has adjustable and locked length. Background Technology

[0002] When ossicular prostheses are implanted in the human body, their angle and length in two dimensions need to be adjusted to accommodate the distance and angle between the periosteum and the stapes plate. Current ossicular prostheses, while some are adjustable in length and others in angle, cannot achieve both length and angle adjustment in both dimensions, and they cannot be locked in place, thus affecting sound transmission.

[0003] The length adjustment is achieved by cutting off the ossicles. This method reduces the rigidity of the ossicles, resulting in low strength and easy damage. Furthermore, it can only be adjusted every 0.5 or 1 millimeter. The angle is achieved by plastic deformation, which makes it easy to break.

[0004] like Figure 1 The existing truncated ossicular prosthesis shown includes an implant stem 1 and an implant foot 2. The implant stem 1 can be broken at an incision 3 to achieve overall length adjustment. The truncated ossicular prosthesis can only be shortened to a fixed length each time, such as 0.5 mm (single segment length) or an integer multiple thereof. The length can only be adjusted in a fixed unit, and the rigidity at the incision is still relatively weak, with low strength, making it easy to be damaged and affecting sound conduction. At the same time, it uses plastic deformation to achieve angle adjustment, but it is easy to break.

[0005] In addition, there are existing ossicular prostheses that use a ball head connection to achieve angle adjustment, but they cannot achieve length adjustment. Furthermore, the structure of the ball head cannot be locked after angle adjustment, and the angle is prone to change after the ossicular prosthesis is implanted. Utility Model Content

[0041] Specifically:

[0042] To enable angle adjustment and locking of the first rod 30 around the second rod 40, this invention provides a rotating shaft 31 perpendicular to the axis of the first rod 30 at the tail end of the first rod 30. Multiple first protrusions 32 are symmetrically distributed in a ring on the outer wall of the middle part of the rotating shaft 31. Preferably, there are two first protrusions 32, spaced 180° apart, with the same height. The head end of the second rod 40 is provided with a mounting base 41, which has coaxial and interconnected first holes 42 and second holes 43 from one side to the other. The first hole 42 is provided with a first relief groove 45 for the first protrusion 32 on the rotating shaft 31 to extend from the first hole 42 into the second hole 43; the first hole 42 and the rotating shaft 31 are clearance fit, the second hole 43 and the first protrusion 32 are clearance fit, and the third hole 44 and the rotating shaft 31 are interference fit or transition fit; in the second hole 43, when the first protrusion 32 is in contact with the first hole 42, the head end of the rotating shaft 31 leaves the third hole 44, that is, there is a gap between the head end of the rotating shaft 31 and the opening of the third hole 44.

[0043] Based on this, the method for assembling, adjusting the angle, and locking the first rod 30 and the second rod 40 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the first protrusion 32 of the pivot 31 of the first rod 30 is aligned with the first clearance groove 45 on the side of the first hole 42 of the mounting base 41 to complete the assembly of the first rod 30 and the second rod 40. The assembled state is as follows. Figure 9 As shown. Figure 9 As shown, after assembly, pull the first rod 30 outward so that the head end of the rotating shaft 31 leaves the third hole 44. At this time, the first rod 30 can rotate around the second rod 40 within the second hole 43, using the rotating shaft 31 as an axis, to adjust the pitch angle of the first fixing element 10. After the angle adjustment is completed, press the tail end of the first rod 30 to press the rotating shaft 31 into the third hole 44. Since the third hole 44 and the rotating shaft 31 are interference fit or transition fit, the first rod 30 and the second rod 40 can be locked together. Figure 10 As shown.

[0044] In order to realize the angle adjustment, locking and length adjustment of the second rod part 40 around the second fixed element 20, the utility model is equipped with a plurality of second protrusions 46 which are annularly and symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the middle part of the second rod part 40, preferably the number of the second protrusions 46 is 2, the two second protrusions 46 are arranged at an interval of 180° and the heights of the protrusions are consistent; the second fixed element 20 is equipped with a fourth hole 21, a fifth hole 22 and a sixth hole 23 which are coaxial and mutually through from one side to the other side, the fourth hole 21 is equipped with a second avoiding slot 24 for the second protrusions 46 on the second rod part 40 to go deep into the fifth hole 22 from the fourth hole 21; the fourth hole 21 and the second rod part 40 are gap-fitted, the fifth hole 22 and the second protrusions 46 are gap-fitted, and the sixth hole 23 and the second rod part 40 are interference-fitted or transition-fitted; in the fifth hole 22, when the second protrusions 46 are attached to the fourth hole 21, the tail end of the second rod part 40 is away from the sixth hole 23, that is, there is a gap between the tail end of the second rod part 40 and the aperture of the sixth hole 23; when the second rod part 40 is inserted into the sixth hole 23, the locking of the second rod part 40 and the second fixed element 20 can be completed, and at the same time, under the action of external force (pressing the second rod part 40 downward or pushing the second fixed element 20 upward, pulling the second rod part 40 upward or pulling the second fixed element 20 downward), the insertion depth of the second rod part 40 in the sixth hole 23 can be adjusted, and then the length of the ossicular prosthesis can be adjusted.

[0045] Therefore, the method for assembling, angle adjusting, locking and length adjusting of the second rod part 40 and the second fixed element 20 is as follows:

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the second protrusions 46 of the second rod part 40 are inserted into the second avoiding slots 24 on the side of the fourth hole 21 of the second fixed element 20, so as to complete the assembly of the second rod part 40 and the second fixed element 20, and the state after assembly is shown in FIG. 2.
