[0002] Glaucoma is a kind of blinding ophthalmic disease, mainly due to the intraocular pressure rise and lead to optic nerve damage, is the second largest blinding eye disease in the world at present. The control of intraocular pressure is the main strategy of glaucoma treatment, the current domestic widely carried out anti-glaucoma surgery mainly has external drainage surgery (such as trabeculectomy, drainage nail, drainage valve implantation etc.), internal drainage surgery (such as Schlemm tube plasty, trabecular ablation, carbon dioxide laser assisted deep sclerectomy, trabeculotomy etc.), reduce aqueous humor production surgery (such as ciliary body photocoagulation, cryosurgery, endoscopic direct vision ciliary body photocoagulation etc.).

[0003] Primary congenital glaucoma is the main type of childhood glaucoma, also one of the most important children's blinding eye diseases, the blindness rate is extremely high. The most commonly used surgical method in the past is external trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy. And the traditional external trabeculotomy has the disadvantages of unclear incision site, small incision range, etc., thus has limitations. 360 ° trabeculotomy is one of the minimally invasive internal drainage surgeries in recent years, the surgical method is divided into external 360 ° trabeculotomy and internal gonioscopic assisted 360 ° trabeculotomy, at present 360 ° trabeculotomy is the preferred surgical method for congenital glaucoma, and can also be used for various types of open-angle glaucoma. 360 ° internal trabeculotomy is a modified procedure of traditional trabeculotomy, and its effect is better than that of classic conventional external trabeculotomy. In the operation, the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and part of the trabecular meshwork are cut under direct vision by using a gonioscope, a light-emitting microcatheter or a polypropylene suture is accurately inserted into the Schlemm's canal, and a 360 ° through-penetration is realized. Then the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and the trabecular meshwork are cut 360 ° by using the microcatheter or suture, so as to establish a direct aqueous humor outflow channel between the anterior chamber and the fluid collection tube.

[0030] Embodiment:

[0031] The present embodiment provides a visual trabeculotomy knife, which has a visual function that can effectively solve the problem of not being able to see the existing corneal turbidity open-angle glaucoma internal surgery and the problem of large trauma of external surgery.

[0032] Specifically, as Figures 1-4As shown, the visual trabeculotome includes a knife body 1, a visual connecting rod 2, a handle 3, and a data connection line 4. The visual connecting rod 2 includes a first rod body 21 and a second rod body 22 extending in the same direction. The second rod body 22 has an outer diameter smaller than that of the first rod body 21, and is connected to the outer edge of the lower end of the first rod body 21. The handle 3 is coaxially connected to the upper end of the first rod body 21. The lower end of the second rod body 22 is connected to the knife body 1 which is bent to one side of the central axis of the first rod body 21. A close-focus miniature camera 5 is installed on the lower end face of the first rod body 21 and faces the knife body 1. The camera wire bundle connected to the close-focus miniature camera 5 passes through the hollow first rod body 21 and the handle 3 in sequence, and is connected to the data connection line 4 outside the handle 3. The data connection line 4 is connected to an image display device such as a high-definition display through a data connector.

[0033] When the visual trabeculotome in the embodiment is used for surgical operation, the second rod body 22 connecting the knife body 1 and the lower end of the first rod body 21 in the visual connecting rod 2 can enter the eye together with the knife body 1. Thus, the close-focus miniature camera 5 which also enters the eye can enable the doctor to directly observe the position to be cut in the anterior chamber of the eye, and thus complete the internal 360° trabeculotomy with less trauma efficiently and with high quality.

[0034] The visual trabeculotome in the embodiment can be used by the doctor alone to complete the operation, or can be used in cooperation with an auxiliary internal gonioscope to enable the doctor to more accurately find the operation position through multiple image perspectives, so as to complete the operation more efficiently and with high quality.

[0035] In further specific embodiments, the outer diameter of the first rod body 21 is not greater than 1.8 mm, and the length is within 30 mm. Since the lower part of the structure of the first rod body 21 needs to enter the eye, the outer diameter thereof cannot be too large so as to reduce trauma as much as possible during the operation. The length of the first rod body 21 is adjusted and designed according to the actual use requirements of people.

[0036] In further specific embodiments, the second rod body 22 is a cylindrical rod with the same outer diameter from top to bottom or a tapered rod with a large upper diameter and a small lower diameter. The second rod body 22 is designed to gradually taper from top to bottom, which can facilitate the corresponding surgical operation of the knife body 1 in the eye, and can also ensure the firm connection between the second rod body 22 and the first rod body 21, so as to avoid bending or breaking at the connection.

[0037] Meanwhile, the outer diameter of the second rod body 22 ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm, and the length is within 5 mm. During the operation, the second rod body as a whole needs to extend into the eye, and thus the length cannot be too long, otherwise it is impossible to ensure that the close-focus miniature camera 5 reaches a suitable shooting position.

[0038] In further embodiments, the material of the blade body 1, the visual connecting rod 2 and the handle 3 is medical stainless steel. In addition, the blade body 1 and the visual connecting rod 2 are designed in one piece to reduce the welding seam and improve the effect of the operation. The visual connecting rod 2 and the handle 3 are welded and fixed by sealing welding process. The handle 3 is a cylinder with embossed patterns on the outer surface to improve the friction between the hand and the handle 3. The near-focus miniature camera 5 is sealed and installed on the lower end surface of the first rod body 21.

[0039] In further embodiments, the lower end surface of the first rod body 21 is also provided with an illumination indicator lamp 6 around the near-focus miniature camera 5. The indicator lamp wire harness passes through the hollow first rod body 21 and the handle 3 in turn and is connected with the external data connection line 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, the camera wire harness and the indicator lamp wire harness are both sealed through the upper end of the handle 3. The setting of the illumination indicator lamp 6 can compensate for insufficient light so that the near-focus miniature camera 5 can work normally and shoot clearer and more detailed high-quality pictures.

[0041] Furthermore, the number of illumination indicator lamps is one or more, which is determined by the thickness of the first rod body. If the first rod body is thick, multiple illumination indicator lamps can be set. If the first rod body is thin, only one illumination indicator lamp can be set.

[0042] In specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , multiple illumination indicator lamps 6 are arranged around the near-focus miniature camera 5.

[0043] At the same time, the maximum temperature of the lamp beads on the illumination indicator lamp 6 when they are always on is not higher than 36℃ to prevent the lamp beads from burning the intraocular tissues during the operation.

[0044] In further embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , the end of the blade body away from the second rod body 22 is the blade tip 11. The side of the blade body away from the central axis of the first rod body is the blade back 12 in the shape of a quarter cone. The side of the blade body facing the central axis of the first rod body is provided with a blade edge 13, which includes three blade edges. The middle blade edge is formed by the cooperation of two oppositely arranged blade grooves 14. The two blade edges on the sides are symmetrical and are formed by the cooperation of the blade back 12 and the corresponding blade groove 14 on the same side.

[0045] In this embodiment, the blade back of the blade body 1 is set in the shape of a quarter cone, i.e. a circular arc, which can accurately cut the trabecular meshwork without damaging other tissues. The three blade edges on the blade body 1 can facilitate the operation of cutting and achieve good cutting effect.
