TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to endoscope surgical instrument technical field, especially one -off arthroscope. BACKGROUND
[0002] Arthroscope is an optical instrument for observing the internal structure of joint, and is an endoscope for diagnosing and treating joint diseases. Through arthroscope, the internal structure of joint can be observed comprehensively, so that many internal structures and lesions of joint can be directly observed and treated, and the trauma is more subtle than that of open surgery. With the gradual popularization of endoscope technology in China, especially the rapid development of minimally invasive medical technology, arthroscope technology has become a standard diagnostic method and treatment technology, and constitutes an important part of joint surgery.
[0003] When doing arthroscopic surgery, first, a micro-invasive surgical channel is established at the part of the patient needing surgery by a sheath, and an endoscope passes through the channel for observation, and a surgical instrument passes through another channel established by another sheath to operate on the target tissue. This surgical method requires medical personnel to control the shooting angle of the endoscope and the surgical instrument at the same time, and good cooperation is required to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery. Obviously, the actual operation is relatively complicated, and it is difficult to cooperate well. Moreover, at least two incisions need to be made on the surface of the patient to establish the surgical channel and the observation channel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings, and obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.
[0025] The traditional arthroscope system includes an arthroscope, a puncture sheath and a handle, wherein the puncture sheath includes a sheath and a puncture needle, and the puncture needle and the sheath complete the puncture process as a whole, after the puncture is completed, the sheath remains in place, and the puncture needle is taken out and placed into a disposable arthroscope along the sheath for observation. The use mode of the above arthroscope is described in detail in the patent with the publication number CN208492045U, which will not be described here.
[0026] In order to integrate the observation channel 31 and the instrument channel 32 on the same mirror sheath, in order to facilitate operation, a disposable arthroscope is designed, as shown in Figure 1 , which includes a sheath body 1 provided with a hollow cavity, the sheath body 1 has a head end 11 and a tail end 12, and the tail end 12 is provided with a sheath seat 2. The sheath body 1 is fixedly connected with the handle 8 through the sheath seat 2 of the tail end 12.
[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the core of the technical solution is that the head end 11 is provided with a plug 3, and the plug 3 is provided with an observation channel 31 and an instrument channel 32 which communicate with the hollow cavity. There is a step between the end opening of the conventional sheath and the built-in arthroscope, which is easy to be caught by the skin or ligament tissue and has large resistance. After the plug 3 is used to block the end of the sheath body 1, the sheath head end 11 is a smooth round head structure, which has smaller resistance than the conventional sheath and is easier to be implanted into the target position. Moreover, the plug 3 structure integrates the observation channel 31 and the instrument channel 32, which avoids the trouble of mutual cooperation in the conventional double-hand operation. The observation channel 31 always follows the instrument, which provides a better surgical field of view. A miniature camera 4 for transmitting intra-articular pictures is pre-installed in the observation channel 31, and does not need to be subsequently inserted. When the sheath body 1 is inserted into position, the instrument can be extended from the instrument channel 32 to perform surgical operation.
[0028] In order to be more convenient for operation, the miniature camera 4 is pre-fixed in the observation channel 31, and a control line 5 connected with the miniature camera 4 is fixed in the sheath seat 2 through the hollow cavity. In order to prevent the miniature camera 4 from being taken out of the channel, a wire tube 6 through which the control line 5 passes is arranged at the end of the observation channel 31 close to the sheath body 1, and the miniature camera 4 abuts against the wire tube 6.
[0029] The sheath seat 2 fixes the sheath while not hindering the extension of the instrument, so an installation hole 21 which can accommodate the sheath is arranged on the sheath seat 2, and the tail end 12 is inserted into the installation hole 21. An instrument hole 22 and a wire hole 23 which communicate with the installation hole 21 are also arranged on the sheath seat 2, and the control line 5 is fixed in the wire hole 23.
[0030] As Figure 3 and 4 shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the plug 3, an extension section 7 is arranged at the end of the plug 3 close to the sheath body 1, the diameter of the extension section 7 is smaller than that of the plug 3, and the extension section 7 extends into the sheath body 1. The installation of the plug 3 and the sheath is completed by means of insertion.
[0031] In order to make the sheath insertion more smooth, a limiting step is formed between the extension section 7 and the plug 3, and an insertion block 71 is arranged on the limiting step. An insertion groove 72 which is adapted to the insertion block 71 is correspondingly arranged on the sheath body 1, and the outer surfaces of the plug 3 and the sheath body 1 are flush. The insertion block 71 and the insertion groove 72 are correspondingly arranged in two groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the extension section 7, so that the insertion stability is better, and the outer surfaces of the plug 3 and the sheath body 1 are flush, which can avoid being caught by the tissue during the extension process and is easier to be implanted into the surgical position.
[0032] To facilitate instrument insertion, the extension section 7 has an arc-shaped wedge surface 73 on the side near the sheath body 1 to facilitate instrument insertion. The arc-shaped wedge surface 73 is inclined towards the instrument channel 32. When the instrument is inserted, it can be smoothly inserted into the instrument channel 32 along the arc-shaped wedge surface 73, eliminating the trouble of aligning the hole and thus improving surgical efficiency.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, for ease of operation, a handle 8 is also connected to the sheath seat 2. A positioning ring 25 is provided on the outside of the sheath seat 2. The handle 8 is composed of a first half-shell and a second half-shell, and an annular positioning groove 81 is formed between the first half-shell and the second half-shell to accommodate the positioning ring 25. The installation of the sheath seat 2 and the handle 8 is completed by the first half-shell and the second half-shell fastening together. To prevent the sheath seat 2 from rotating, the contact surfaces between the sheath seat 2 and the first half-shell and the second half-shell are both flat.
[0034] To further facilitate instrument insertion, an instrument insertion sleeve 9 is provided inside the handle 8, and a guide hole 24 is provided at the end of the sheath seat 2. The instrument insertion sleeve 9 is inserted from the tail of the handle 8 and extends into the guide hole 24 of the sheath seat 2. The instrument insertion sleeve 9 has a through instrument insertion hole 91, which communicates with the instrument hole 22 of the sheath seat 2. The sheath seat 2 and the instrument insertion sleeve 9 inside the handle 8 abut against each other to ensure stability. The instrument can be directly inserted from the instrument insertion hole 91 at the tail of the handle 8, passing through the instrument insertion hole 91 of the instrument insertion sleeve 9, the instrument hole 22 of the sheath seat 2, and the hollow cavity, and then extending out from the instrument channel 32 of the plug 3 for surgical operations.
[0035] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, and all such modifications, variations or equivalents will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
