Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a pair of forceps for picking up pathological slides. Background Technology

[0002] Forceps are a key tool in the preparation of pathological sections. For example, in the sample processing stage, forceps are needed to pick up tissue samples, especially small ones or those requiring delicate handling. Then, in the dehydration and paraffin infiltration processes, forceps are used to transfer tissue samples to avoid direct contact with the hands, so as to avoid contamination or damage to the tissue.

[0003] Due to improper control of the force and technique used by the user when handling tissue sections, especially thinner sections, the tissue sections are subjected to excessive clamping force, which can cause them to break. Conversely, insufficient clamping force can cause the tissue sections to fall off. The user's control over the force is difficult to achieve, which affects the preparation of pathological sections. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that controlling the opening and closing force of tweezers when picking up tissue slides is difficult, easily causing damage or detachment of the tissue slides. It provides a tweezer for picking up pathological slides that can reduce damage to tissue slides and prevent detachment.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A forceps for picking up pathological slides includes a handle, an upper forceps arm, a lower forceps arm, and a buffer. The right ends of both the upper and lower forceps arms are fixedly connected to the left ends of the handle. The length of the upper forceps arm is shorter than that of the lower forceps arm. The upper forceps arm is higher on the left and lower on the right, while the lower forceps arm is lower on the left and higher on the right. The width of both the upper and lower forceps arms gradually narrows from right to left. The buffer includes an L-shaped plate, a connecting rod, and a pressure plate. The free end of the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate faces downward and is connected to the left end of the upper forceps arm, while the free end of the horizontal plate faces left. The connecting rod is movably mounted on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate. The upper end of the connecting rod is connected to a limit plate, and the lower end is connected to a pressure plate. A spring connects the pressure plate and the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate. A limit bolt is threaded onto the upper forceps arm on the right side of the buffer.

[0007] Furthermore, the pressure plate is a rectangular plate whose width gradually narrows from right to left. The pressure plate is located on the left side of the upper tweezers arm and directly above the left side of the lower tweezers arm. The pressure plate and the left side of the lower tweezers arm directly below it have the same shape and size.

[0008] Furthermore, a silicone pad is fixed to the lower side of the pressure plate, and a silicone pad is fixed to the left side of the upper side of the lower tweezer arm.

[0009] Further, the left end of the lower tweezers arm is connected with a guide column, the guide column is a triangular prism with a right-angled triangle longitudinal section, one straight surface of the guide column is connected with the left end of the lower tweezers arm, the left side surface is an inclined surface with the left end being higher than the right end, the left side surface of the second silica gel pad is an inclined surface with the upper end being inclined to the right, and the left side surface of the second silica gel pad is in the same plane with the left side surface of the guide column.

[0010] Further, the spring is outside the connecting rod between the horizontal plate and the pressing plate of the L-shaped plate, when the spring is in a natural state, the pressing plate is located at the lower side of the upper tweezers arm and is spaced from the left part of the lower tweezers arm, and the limiting plate contacts the top surface of the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate.

[0011] Further, the upper tweezers arm is provided with a threaded hole matched with the limiting bolt, and the free end of the limiting bolt faces the lower tweezers arm.

[0012] By the above technical scheme, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:

[0013] When the slice is clamped, the pressing plate gives the slice a gradual clamping force, so that the slice is prevented from being subjected to a sudden force and the damage of the slice is reduced, and by limiting the distance of the limiting bolt extending out of the threaded hole, the final clamping force of the pressing plate on the slice can be controlled, so that the subsequent slices with the same thickness can be clamped safely, conveniently and quickly.

[0014] For the slices with different thicknesses, the distance of the limiting bolt extending out of the threaded hole only needs to be adjusted, so that the slices with different thicknesses can be clamped safely. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
