Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a rotary cutting device and rotary cutting system. Background Technology

[0002] Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the follicular epithelium or follicular epithelial cells of the thyroid gland. In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased rapidly worldwide. In urban areas of my country, thyroid cancer ranks fourth among all malignant tumors in women, and is increasing at a rate of 20% annually. Most patients with thyroid nodules are asymptomatic and are usually discovered during physical examinations through thyroid palpation and neck ultrasound. Most thyroid nodules are benign, with malignant tumors accounting for approximately 5%-10%.

[0003] Existing abnormal tissues such as tumors or cysts within the thyroid gland are typically removed using radiofrequency ablation, laser ablation, or microwave ablation. However, this approach often results in incomplete removal of abnormal tissue, potentially leading to recurrence. After ablation surgery, it takes time for residual nodules to shrink and disappear within the body, causing psychological distress for patients regarding potential tumor metastasis. Furthermore, the ablation zone often appears disorganized on ultrasound, making it easy for inexperienced ultrasound technicians to misdiagnose it as a malignant nodule.

[0004] In existing treatment options, cutting devices can be used to remove abnormal tissues such as tumors or cysts in the thyroid gland. However, once these cutting devices are inserted into the patient's body, the abnormal tissues are often unstable, resulting in low precision in the cutting process. Utility Model Content

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] This utility model provides a rotary cutting device, see [link]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a rotary cutting device provided in this application. The rotary cutting device 10 includes: a sheath 110 and an operating handle 120 connected to the proximal end of the sheath 110; a rotary cutting port 101 is provided at the distal end of the sheath 110; an adsorption mechanism is provided inside the sheath 110, and a rotary cutting head 130 is provided inside the sheath 110 corresponding to the rotary cutting port 101. The adsorption mechanism is configured to draw at least a portion of the tissue to be cut into the rotary cutting port 101, and the rotary cutting head 130 is configured to be rotatable. The device is installed in the sheath 110 and the portion of the tissue to be cut that enters the rotary cutting opening 101 is removed by rotating the rotary cutting head 130. The sheath 110 is also provided with a puncture and fixation needle 150. The puncture and fixation needle 150 is located in the sheath 110 and is positioned corresponding to the rotary cutting opening 101. The puncture and fixation needle 150 is configured to move linearly along the axial direction of the sheath 110 so that the puncture and fixation needle 150 is inserted into the tissue entering the rotary cutting opening 101 to fix the tissue.

[0039] Therefore, in this embodiment, after the tissue to be cut through the spin-cut incision 101 is drawn into the sheath 110, the puncture and fixation needle 150 can gradually puncture and enter the tissue to be cut by moving along the axis of the sheath 110, thereby fixing the tissue to be cut. Then, the rotation of the rotary cutting head 130 can remove the tissue to be cut from the spin-cut incision 101. Therefore, by using the puncture and fixation needle 150 to fix the tissue to be cut, the cutting stability of the tissue to be cut can be ensured, the surgical precision can be improved, the success rate of the surgery can be ensured, and the surgical risk can be reduced.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adsorption mechanism also includes a negative pressure tube 141 and a drive button 142; the drive button 142 is movably mounted on the operating handle 120; wherein, the rotary cutting head 130 includes a rotary cutting tube 131 and a cutting hole 132 located on the side wall of the rotary cutting tube 131, the cutting hole 132 is provided corresponding to the rotary cutting opening 101, wherein the side wall of the cutting hole 132 has a cutting blade 1321 to facilitate tissue cutting.

[0041] One end of the negative pressure tube 141 is connected to the drive button 142 and communicates with an external negative pressure device, while the other end is connected to the puncture and fixation needle 150. A negative pressure hole 1411 is provided on the side wall of the negative pressure tube 141 near the end of the puncture and fixation needle 150.

[0042] Therefore, in this embodiment, the puncture and fixation needle 150 can be fixedly installed on the negative pressure tube 141, which makes the entire rotary cutting device 10 simple and compact in structure. In addition, after the puncture and fixation needle 150 punctures into the tissue to be cut, after the tissue cutting is completed, the puncture and fixation needle 150 can also help fix the cut tissue, making it easier to remove the excised tissue.

[0043] Optionally, in some alternative embodiments, the puncture fixation needle 150 may be connected to the negative pressure tube 141, and a negative pressure hole may also be opened on the side wall of the puncture fixation needle 150 to fix the excised tissue.

[0044] In addition, after the tissue cutting is completed, the puncture fixation needle 150 can also move in the opposite direction, thereby moving a portion of the excised tissue into the sheath 110 to prevent the excised tissue from falling off during the removal process at the distal end of the sheath 110.

[0045] Please refer to further information. Figures 3-5 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotary cutting head 130 is further provided with a 135 on the distal side of the sheath 110. The rotary cutting head 130 is configured to move linearly relative to the sheath 110 along the axial direction of the sheath 110, so as to drive the puncture head 135 to extend out of the distal end of the sheath 110 and be able to retract into the sheath 110.

[0047] Therefore, in this embodiment, by extending the puncture head 135 beyond the distal end of the sheath 110 and exposing it, the puncture head 135 can be inserted into the patient's body to form a surgical channel. This allows the distal end of the sheath 110 to easily enter the body along the surgical channel and reach the location of the tissue to be removed. This approach eliminates the need for additional incisions, facilitating rapid and efficient surgery.

[0048] Optionally, a sheath knob 121 is provided on the operating handle 120. The knob 121 is rotatably mounted on the operating handle 120. The proximal end of the sheath 110 is screwed to the sheath knob 121. By rotating the sheath knob 121, the sheath 110 can move linearly along the axial direction. Specifically, by rotating the sheath knob 121 clockwise or counterclockwise, the sheath 110 can be moved to the point where the puncture head 135 extends out of the distal end of the sheath 110 or the puncture head 135 is retracted into the sheath 110.

[0049] A protective cap 111 is provided at the distal end of the sheath 110. The protective cap 111 covers the distal opening of the sheath 110. The surface of the protective cap 111 is arc-shaped and the connection between the protective cap 111 and the outer wall of the sheath 110 is smooth. The protective cap 111 has a puncture hole that matches the puncture head 135. The puncture head 135 is configured to extend out of the sheath 110 through the puncture hole.

[0050] In this scheme, tissue puncture can be performed by extending the puncture head 135 out of the sheath 110; when the distal end of the sheath 110 enters the corresponding position of the tissue to be cut in the body, the puncture head 135 can be returned to the sheath 110, thereby avoiding unnecessary tissue damage caused by vibration during the cutting process.

[0051] In this embodiment, the puncture head 135 and the rotary cutting head 130 are integrally formed. The rotary cutting head 130 can be a high-frequency electrosurgical unit. By setting the rotation speed of the rotary cutting head 130, the tissue to be cut can be cut and electrocoagulated simultaneously. That is, after the rotary cutting head 130 completes the rotational cutting, the wound can also be hemostatically removed, which can further improve the safety of the operation.

[0052] Furthermore, a connector wire 123 is connected to the tail end of the operating handle 120. The connector wire 123 is electrically connected to the rotary cutting head 130. The connector in the connector wire 123 can be electrically connected to an external high-frequency electrical signal output device, so that the high-frequency electrical signal output by the high-frequency electrical signal output device can be transmitted to the rotary cutting head 130 to realize electric cutting.

[0053] In this embodiment, the rotary cutting head 130 is connected to a drive tube 134 away from the piercing head 135, and the drive tube 134 extends to the operating handle 120. A rotary knob 122 can also be provided on the operating handle 120. The rotary knob 122 is rotatably mounted on the operating handle 120, and the operating handle 120 is connected to the drive tube 134. By rotating the rotary knob 122, the drive tube 134 can be rotated, thereby realizing the rotary cutting of the rotary cutting head 130. A gear component 1341 can be provided on the surface of the drive tube 134, and the gear component 1341 can mesh with the drive tube 134.

[0054] It should be noted that the sheath 110 is sleeved on the drive tube 134, and the drive tube 134 can be sleeved on the negative pressure tube 141. The rotary cutting tube 131 and the drive tube 134 can be integrally formed or they can be formed separately and then connected. The puncture and fixation needle 150 can be located inside the rotary cutting tube 131.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 . Figure 6 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the rotary cutting device is shown.

[0056] In this embodiment, a drive mechanism 133 is also provided inside the operating handle 120. The drive mechanism 133 is connected to the drive tube 134 to drive the drive tube 134 to rotate around the axis of the sheath tube 110. The drive mechanism 133 may include a damping motor, which is connected to a damping sensor (not shown in the figure). The damping sensor is used to detect the rotational damping of the rotary cutting head 130 driven by the damping motor. Therefore, the rotational damping detected by the damping sensor can detect the cutting difficulty and adaptively adjust the driving force output by the damping motor.

[0057] Please see Figures 7-9 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the rotary cutting device shown; Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A magnified view of a portion of the rotary cutting device in region V; Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The exploded view of a portion of region V after the sheath is removed by the rotary cutting device shown.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotary cutting head 130 includes two rotary cutting arc blades 1301, which are located on opposite sides of the rotary cutting opening 101. The two rotary cutting arc blades 1301 are configured to rotate in directions that are closer to or further away from each other. Each rotary cutting arc blade 1301 has a cutting edge on its side facing each other. The two rotary cutting arc blades 1301 can also rotate to complete the cutting process through the cooperation of a drive motor and gear assembly. In this design, the cutting edges of the two rotary cutting arc blades 1301 form a cutting motion similar to that of scissors.

[0059] The two rotary cutting blades 1301 are respectively connected to the two sleeved tubes 1302. By driving the two tubes 1302 to rotate, the two rotary cutting blades 1301 can rotate toward or away from each other to achieve the cutting action.

[0060] Furthermore, based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a rotary cutting system. The rotary cutting system includes a negative pressure device and a rotary cutting device 10 as described in the preceding embodiments. The negative pressure device is connected to an adsorption mechanism and is used to provide negative pressure suction to allow the adsorption mechanism to draw at least a portion of the tissue to be cut into the rotary cutting opening.

[0061] When the rotary cutting head 130 of the rotary cutting device 10 is electrically operated, the rotary cutting system may also include a control device. The control device can provide power to the rotary cutting device 10 and can also send high-frequency electrical signals to the rotary cutting head 130 to realize high-frequency electric knife cutting.

[0062] In summary, this application provides a rotary cutting device and a rotary cutting system. The rotary cutting device of this application draws the tissue to be cut into a sheath through a rotary incision. A puncture and fixation needle moves along the axis of the sheath to gradually puncture and penetrate the tissue, thereby fixing it in place. Then, the rotation of the rotary cutting head removes the tissue that has entered the incision. Therefore, by using the puncture and fixation needle to fix the tissue, the cutting stability of the tissue can be ensured, surgical precision can be improved, the success rate of the surgery can be increased, and the surgical risk can be reduced.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
