Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of needle knife technology, and in particular to a novel needle knife. Background Technology
[0002] The needle knife is a product of the ingenious combination of traditional needles and modern scalpels. The shape of its needle-like blade tip allows for needle-like insertion during operation. Once the target area is reached, the blade tip can be used for cutting, dissection, and other surgical procedures. Needle knife operation is a closed procedure. Stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor muscles is caused by repeated friction between the flexor tendon and the tendon sheath at the metacarpophalangeal joint, resulting in local edema, degeneration, thickening of the sheath wall, narrowing of the lumen, and local thickening of the tendon, thus hindering tendon gliding at that location and causing clinical symptoms.
[0003] Currently, the Qipingkou needle knife is widely used clinically to treat this disease. However, this needle knife does not thoroughly release the tendon sheath, easily damaging the soft tissues outside the tendon sheath, especially lacking protection for the tendon. These factors lead to difficulties in the procedure, prolonged operation time, severe patient pain, significant bleeding, prolonged postoperative swelling and pain in the local soft tissues, and slow recovery. If the needle knife is used with a downward cutting motion, it is difficult to control the depth of insertion after the needle knife breaks through the tendon sheath, thus damaging the tendon. Furthermore, this multi-point cutting method from superficial to deep makes it almost impossible to ensure that the release lines are in a straight line, and there are often discontinuities between the release lines. These factors cause inconvenience in operation and incomplete release of the tendon sheath. Therefore, we propose a new type of needle knife. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a novel needle knife that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel needle knife, including a needle knife handle assembly 1, which includes a fixing plate 11 and a handle sleeve 12. A fixing post 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 11, and a needle 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing post 13 away from the fixing plate 11. The handle sleeve 12 is a hollow cylindrical structure with one open end. The internal length of the handle sleeve 12 is greater than the length of the needle 14. The handle sleeve 12 is threadedly connected to the fixing post 13. In the early stage of treatment, there is no need to prepare separate tools to make the wound required for needle knife advancement on the patient's skin. It is only necessary to unscrew the handle sleeve 12 from the fixing post 13, and then use the needle 14 on the needle knife handle assembly 1 to make a wound on the patient's affected area. After that, the handle sleeve 12 is screwed back on, and then the needle knife body 2 can be used for treatment.
[0023] The needle knife body 2 includes a pusher 21 and a hook 22. One end of the pusher 21 is vertically fixed to the fixing plate 11 on the needle knife handle assembly 1, and the other end of the pusher 21 is fixedly connected to the hook 22. The bottom end of the pusher 21 is rounded. The end of the pusher 21 away from the fixing plate 11 is provided with a pusher blade 211, and the angle between the pusher blade 21 and the bottom end of the pusher 21 is acute. The pusher blade 211 allows the front end of the pusher 21 to push and cut, while the rounded bottom end of the pusher 21 is relatively blunt, thereby avoiding the tendon being scratched by the blade during the pushing operation.
[0024] The hook knife 22 includes a connecting straight rod 221, an arc-shaped rod 222, and a hook knife body 223. The connecting straight rod 221, the arc-shaped rod 222, and the hook knife body 223 are integrally formed. A hook knife blade 224 is provided on the inner side of the hook knife body 223, while a pushing blade is provided on the side away from the hook knife blade 224. The connecting straight rod 221 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the push knife 21 on the side where the pushing blade 211 is located, and its top end is on the same horizontal plane as the top end of the push knife 21. The bottom of the hook blade 224 is rounded, and the curved rod 222 is slightly raised from the end connected to the straight rod 221, so that the lowest point of the hook blade 224 is higher than the lowest point of the pusher blade 21. During the treatment, the pusher blade only moves forward under the patient's skin, while the rounded bottom of the hook blade 224 can prevent the tendon from being scratched by the tip of the hook blade 224 when returning along the original path. The hook blade 224 then plays the role of releasing the tendon again when returning along the original path.
[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a novel needle knife. Based on the local anatomical structure of the annular tendon sheath, this needle knife can achieve the purpose of completely releasing the tendon sheath in one go. The operation approach is as follows: unscrew the knife handle sleeve 12 from the fixing post 13, then use the needle 14 on the needle knife handle assembly 1 to puncture the patient's affected area to open the wound, then screw the knife handle sleeve 12 back on, and then use the needle knife body 2 to insert into the subcutaneous tissue through the wound to reach the fibrous sheath, and push from the proximal to the distal side to release the tendon sheath. If the release is not complete, the needle knife can be slightly lifted so that the hook knife 22 at the front end of the push knife 21 rotates downward and hooks the tendon sheath. When pulling back, the hook blade 224 on the hook knife 22 can release again. After the release is completed, slowly withdraw from the skin along the original path, thereby making the release operation smooth and the release line flat and smooth. Compared with existing novel needle knives, this utility model is simple and practical. By setting up a push knife and a hook knife in combination, when the push knife does not completely loosen the tendon sheath, the hook knife can be used to pull it back to loosen it, making the loosening of the tendon sheath more thorough, the treatment effect better, avoiding repeated treatments and prolonging the treatment time, reducing the degree of pain for patients. Moreover, the needle knife handle assembly eliminates the need to prepare separate tools to make the wound required for needle knife advancement on the patient's skin during loosening, making it convenient and quick.
