Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a meniscus surgical knife with safety protection. Background Technology
[0002] Meniscalp repair surgery is a widely accepted method in recent years, suitable for patients with intact and stable peripheral menisci and central damage. By removing the central damaged portion, the remaining portion is preserved at a distance of 6-8 mm from the periphery of the meniscus. The preserved portion is then reshaped into a near-normal meniscus. Methods include monoplasty, biplasty, and fragment resection. However, due to the limitations of the operating space and the difficulty in accurately judging the width of the remaining meniscus in the first two methods, fragment resection is now commonly used. This involves making an additional incision on the anteromedial side of the knee joint and removing the anterior portion of the meniscus with a scalpel. Then, the remaining portion is removed by biting off fragments. This method shortens the operation time, achieves good clinical results, and is a simple and easy new surgical procedure.
[0003] However, surgical resection can easily damage other tissues in the surgical entry area, especially when removing the lateral discoid meniscus. When using the anteromedial approach, the anterior cruciate ligament may be cut. Furthermore, since the scalpel is a straight blade, the tip needs to be lowered and pushed and pulled back and forth when cutting the anterior crus of the meniscus. Often, only the tip of the blade is treated, and cutting the middle and posterior parts of the blade can easily injure other tissues. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a meniscus scalpel with a safety guard to protect other tissues from accidental injury by the meniscus scalpel. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 A meniscus scalpel with safety protection includes a protective sleeve 1 and a straight blade 2, with the straight blade 2 slidably mounted inside the protective sleeve 1. A curved blade head 3 is provided at the top of the straight blade 2. A moving groove 17 is provided on the protective sleeve 1, and an upper push plate 5 is slidably mounted on the moving groove 17. A slider 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper push plate 5, and the slider 6 is slidably mounted inside the protective sleeve 1. A connecting component is provided on one side of the slider 6, and the straight blade 2 is connected to the upper push plate 5 through the connecting component. A self-locking component is provided on the other side of the upper push plate 5. Sharp blades are provided at both the concave and convex parts of the curved blade head 3, and sharp blades are also provided at the edge of the straight blade 2. The curved blade head 3 is used to improve the surgical efficiency of meniscus surgery. During the meniscus resection surgery, one end of the protective sleeve 1 is first inserted into the surgical area. After reaching the anterior calf of the meniscus, the upper push plate 5 is pushed to move within the moving groove 17. As the upper push plate 5 moves, it simultaneously pushes the curved blade head 3 out of the curved sleeve 4. Then, the self-locking component locks the extended curved blade head 3 in place, maintaining its stability during the surgery. The curved blade head 3 is then pulled back after hooking onto the anterior calf of the meniscus, and the sharp blade on the curved blade head 3 can effectively remove it. The protective sleeve 1 covers the two sides of the straight blade 2 to prevent the straight blade 2 from accidentally damaging normal tissue, while still allowing for effective removal of the desired area, further improving the efficiency of the meniscus surgery.
[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting assembly includes a connecting plate 7, a protrusion 8, and a groove 9. The connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 6. The protrusion 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 7. The groove 9 is located at one end of the straight blade 2, and one end of the protrusion 8 extends through the interior of the groove 9. The straight blade 2 is engaged with the protrusion 8 through the groove 9, so that the straight blade 2 is connected to the upper push plate 5. The upper push plate 5 pushes the straight blade 2 to move within the protective sleeve 1.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The self-locking assembly includes a connecting block 11, a lower push plate 10, a lifting block 15, a limiting plate 13, a limiting head 14, and a limiting groove 16. The connecting block 11 is slidably disposed on one side of the upper push plate 5, the lower push plate 10 is fixedly installed on the other end of the connecting block 11, the lifting block 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the lower push plate 10, the limiting plate 13 is fixedly installed on the other side of the slider 6, and a set of limiting plates 13 are symmetrically arranged. The lifting block 15 is engaged in the middle part of the symmetrical limiting plates 13. The limiting head 14 is fixedly disposed on one side of the limiting plate 13, and the limiting groove 16 is disposed on the inner wall of the protective sleeve 1. The limiting plate 13 has an irregular shape design and is made of plastic (the plastic limiting plate 13 has good toughness and flexibility). The upper push plate 5 is provided with a sliding groove 12, and the connecting block 11 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 12. When locking the position of the pushed straight blade 2, the lower push plate 10 is first pushed down to move in the sliding groove 12 through the connecting block 11. When the lower push plate 10 moves, it will drive the lifting block 15 to move synchronously. The lifting block 15 will move to the lower part of the limiting plate 13, pushing the lower part of the limiting plate 13 to expand outward, so that the limiting head 14 is engaged in the limiting groove 16, thereby locking and limiting the position of the straight blade 2. When releasing the self-locking, simply push the lower push plate 10 upward to make the lifting block 15 move synchronously. At this time, the limiting plate 13 will return to its original state, and the limiting head 14 will move out of the limiting groove 16, thereby releasing the locking and limiting of the straight blade 2.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The top of the protective sleeve 1 is provided with a bent sleeve 4, and the diameter of the bent sleeve 4 is larger than the diameter of the protective sleeve 1. After the straight blade 2 is put into the protective sleeve 1, the curved blade head 3 will also enter the bent sleeve 4 to store the bent sleeve 4.
[0024] The working principle is to improve the efficiency of meniscus surgery by using the curved blade head 3. When performing meniscus cutting surgery on a patient, one end of the protective sleeve 1 is first inserted into the surgical area. After reaching the anterior calf of the meniscus, the upper push plate 5 is pushed to move within the moving groove 17. When the upper push plate 5 moves, it simultaneously pushes the curved blade head 3 out of the inside of the curved sleeve 4. Then, the self-locking component locks the position of the extended curved blade head 3, maintaining the stability of the curved blade head 3 during surgery. Then, the curved blade head 3 hooks onto the anterior calf of the meniscus and is pulled back. The sharp blade on the curved blade head 3 can effectively cut it off. The protective sleeve 1 covers the two sides of the straight blade 2 to prevent the straight blade 2 from accidentally damaging normal tissue, while also allowing for effective removal of the desired area, further improving the efficiency of meniscus surgery.
