Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arthroscopy technology, and in particular to an arthroscopy suture device. Background Technology

[0002] An arthroscopy is a rod-shaped optical instrument, about 5 mm in diameter, used to observe the internal structures of a joint and is an endoscope used to diagnose and treat joint diseases. An arthroscopy tube has a lens at the end; when this tube is inserted into the joint, the internal structures are displayed on a monitor. During arthroscopic surgery, sutures are used to close the wound, and a suture threading device is used to pass the sutures through the wound.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN214157417U, which discloses an arthroscopic suture device for orthopedics, comprising a connecting ring, a connecting rod fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring, a threaded connection fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod, a first connecting post movably connected to one side of the threaded connection, a limiting post fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting post, a second connecting post fixedly connected to one end of the limiting post, a connecting hole movably connected to one side of the second connecting post, and a fixing post fixedly connected to one side of the connecting hole.

[0004] This patent uses a servo motor to drive the connecting wheel and connecting belt to control the rotation of the roller in the connecting groove, thereby controlling the back-and-forth movement of the second connecting column and connecting ring. This makes it convenient for medical staff to move the surgical suture. However, the surgical suture and connecting ring are small in size, making it difficult to fix them. Moreover, each time the surgical suture is cut, it needs to be re-fixed for the next suture, which consumes time. Utility Model Content

[0017] 2. This utility model, by setting a fixed block, a rotating block, a limiting ball and a spring, restricts the rotation of the fixed shaft when the surgical suture stops being delivered, so that the surgical suture wheel cannot rotate arbitrarily, thus avoiding the surgical suture from scattering itself when the surgical suture is not being delivered, which would affect the delivery of the surgical suture.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] An arthroscopic suture device, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a handle 1, one end of which is connected to a cable conduit 2. A side-opening door 3 is located on one side of the handle 1. A push wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the handle 1, with the top of the push wheel 4 protruding from the outer wall of the handle 1. Two conveyor wheels 5 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the handle 1, with a gap between the outer wall of one side of the conveyor wheel 5 and the inner wall of the handle 1. A guide groove 8 is located on the inner wall of the handle 1 near the cable conduit 2. A synchronous belt pulley 9 is connected to one end of the shaft of both the push wheel 4 and the conveyor wheel 5. Two synchronous pulleys 9 connected to the shafts of the push wheel 4 and the conveyor wheel 5 are driven by toothed belts 11. A fixed roller 7 is provided on the inner wall of the handle 1 away from the suture tube 2. A surgical suture wheel 6 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed roller 7. Surgical suture is wound on the outside of the surgical suture wheel 6. One end of the surgical suture passes through the gap between the conveyor wheel 5 and the inner wall of the handle 1 and passes through the suture tube 2 along the guide groove 8. A strong magnet 10 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the side door 3 and the inner wall of the handle 1. The two strong magnets 10 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0030] In use, open the side door 3, install the surgical suture wheel 6 on the outer wall of the fixed roller 7, and pull one end of the surgical suture out from the outer wall of the surgical suture wheel 6, passing through the two conveying wheels 5 and the guide groove 8 in sequence, and exiting from the suture tube 2. Close the magnet 10 of the side door 3 to deactivate the magnet. During suturing, push the push wheel 4 to rotate, which drives the two conveying wheels 5 to rotate through the synchronous pulley 9 and the toothed belt 11, continuously conveying the surgical suture towards the suture tube 2 for suturing. After one suturing is completed, cut the surgical suture. During the next suturing, push the push wheel 4 to rotate, and the cut surgical suture can be output from the suture tube 2. It is not necessary to fix and pull the surgical suture for each suturing.

[0031] By setting up a suture tube 2, a push wheel 4, a conveyor wheel 5, a synchronous pulley 9, and a toothed belt 11, the push wheel 4 is rotated during suturing, so that the surgical suture cut after the previous suturing is completed can be output from the suture tube 2, eliminating the need to fix and pull the surgical suture with each suturing.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] An arthroscopic suture device, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1, with the following improvements, such as... Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the fixed roller 7 includes a fixed shaft 13 and a fixed block 14. The fixed block 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the handle 1. A rotating block 15 is rotatably fitted onto the inner wall of the fixed block 14. The fixed shaft 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating block 15. A limiting ball 16 is provided on the side wall of the rotating block 15. An arc-shaped groove that limits and fits the limiting ball 16 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed block 14. A spring 17 is provided between the rotating block 15 and the limiting ball 16. One end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 15, and the other end of the spring 17 is in contact with the outer wall of the limiting ball 16. Multiple locking blocks 18 are slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed shaft 13. The locking block 18 has an inclined surface that is inclined towards the axis of the fixed shaft 13 at the end near the side door 3. A spring 2 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 18. The other end of the spring 2 19 is connected to the fixed shaft 13. A rubber friction layer is provided on the outer wall of the end of the locking block 18 away from the axis of the fixed shaft 13. The locking block 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the surgical thread wheel 6. A limit rod 12 is provided opposite to the inner wall of the handle 1 and the side wall of the side door 3. A ball is rotatably connected to one end of the limit rod 12. The ball abuts against the side wall of the surgical thread wheel 6 for limitation.

[0034] When the surgical suture is conveyed by the friction of the conveyor wheel 5, the surgical suture drives the surgical suture wheel 6 to rotate. Due to the friction between the locking block 18 and the inner wall of the surgical suture wheel 6, the fixed shaft 13 will rotate with the surgical suture wheel 6, causing the rotating block 15 to rotate relative to the fixed block 14. The limiting ball 16 is squeezed towards the rotating block 15 by the arc groove, and the spring 17 is compressed and deformed. When the surgical suture stops conveying, the spring 17 pushes the limiting ball 16 into the arc groove, restricting the rotation of the fixed shaft 13. Due to the friction between the locking block 18 and the inner wall of the surgical suture wheel 6, the surgical suture wheel 6 does not... It can rotate freely, preventing the surgical thread wheel 6 from rotating and causing the surgical thread to become tangled when no surgical thread is being delivered, thus affecting the delivery of the surgical thread; when installing the surgical thread wheel 6, one end of the surgical thread wheel 6 presses against the inclined surface of one end of the locking block 18, causing the locking block 18 to move towards the axis of the fixed shaft 13. The second spring 19 is compressed and deformed. When one end of the surgical thread wheel 6 contacts the ball on the inner wall of the handle 1, the surgical thread wheel 6 is fixed. The second spring 19 pushes the locking block 18 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the surgical thread wheel 6, and the surgical thread wheel 6 is fixed by the friction of the rubber friction layer.

[0035] By setting a fixed block 14, a rotating block 15, a limiting ball 16, and a spring 17, the rotation of the fixed shaft 13 is restricted when the surgical suture stops being delivered, so that the surgical suture wheel 6 cannot rotate arbitrarily. This prevents the surgical suture wheel 6 from rotating when the surgical suture is not being delivered, which would cause the surgical suture to become tangled and affect the delivery of the surgical suture.

[0036] By setting a limiting rod 12, a locking block 18, and a second spring 19, when installing the surgical thread wheel 6, one end of the surgical thread wheel 6 presses against the inclined surface of one end of the locking block 18, causing the locking block 18 to move towards the axis of the fixed shaft 13. When one end of the surgical thread wheel 6 contacts the ball on the inner wall of the handle 1, the surgical thread wheel 6 is fixed. The second spring 19 pushes the locking block 18 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the surgical thread wheel 6, and the surgical thread wheel 6 is fixed by the friction of the rubber friction layer, which facilitates the installation of the surgical thread wheel 6.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, open the side door 3. One end of the surgical suture wheel 6 presses against the inclined surface of the locking block 18, causing the locking block 18 to move towards the axis of the fixed shaft 13. The spring 19 is compressed and deformed. When one end of the surgical suture wheel 6 contacts the ball on the inner wall of the handle 1, the surgical suture wheel 6 is fixed. The spring 19 pushes the locking block 18 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the surgical suture wheel 6. The surgical suture wheel 6 is fixed by the friction of the rubber friction layer. One end of the surgical suture is pulled out from the outer wall of the surgical suture wheel 6, passes through the two conveying wheels 5 and the guide groove 8 in sequence, and exits from the suture tube 2. When the side door 3 is closed, the magnet 10 of the strong magnet pushes the push wheel 4 to rotate during suturing. Through the synchronous belt pulley 9 and the toothed belt 11, the two conveying wheels 5 are rotated, continuously conveying the surgical suture towards the suture tube 2 for suturing. The surgical suture will drive the surgical suture wheel 6. As the suture wheel 6 rotates, the fixed shaft 13 rotates with it due to the friction between the locking block 18 and the inner wall of the suture wheel 6. This causes the rotating block 15 to rotate relative to the fixed block 14. The limiting ball 16 is squeezed by the arc groove and moves towards the rotating block 15. The spring 17 is compressed and deformed. When the suture stops being delivered, the spring 17 pushes the limiting ball 16 into the arc groove, restricting the rotation of the fixed shaft 13. Due to the friction between the locking block 18 and the inner wall of the suture wheel 6, the suture wheel 6 cannot rotate arbitrarily. This prevents the suture wheel 6 from rotating when no suture is being delivered, causing the suture to become tangled and affecting the delivery of the suture. Once a suture is completed, the suture is cut. During the next suture, the push wheel 4 is rotated to output the cut suture from the suture tube 2. It is not necessary to fix and pull the suture during each suture.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
