Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology and relates to a fiber ring suture device. Background Technology
[0002] Minimally invasive surgical suturing is a fundamental procedure for surgeons to anastomose and fix incisions. During this process, surgeons typically hold a curved needle and use the suture thread to close the incision. However, suturing deep soft tissue incisions in minimally invasive surgery presents significant challenges. Because the hand cannot reach the incision site, the suturing effect is often poor, or even impossible. Existing technologies disclose several double-needle devices, i.e., straight needles plus curved needles. The problem is that, because the double needles in these devices limit the distance between the two needles and the direction of the suture, it is almost impossible to control the position of the two needles on either side of the incision, and the relative direction of the suture cannot be adjusted. Furthermore, if either needle is too close to the incision, the soft tissue at the incision edge may collapse, leading to suturing failure. To address these issues, single-needle suturing devices have been developed.
[0003] Existing single-needle suturing devices, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116407185A, disclose a minimally invasive suturing instrument for annulus fibrosus. This utility model uses a single-needle suturing device, inserting a needle at each end of the suture thread on both sides of the incision, so that the two knots of the suture thread pierce into both sides of the incision. Finally, the suture thread is tied to the incision to complete the suturing. The rod-shaped pusher is controlled by a safety knob and a secondary limit switch to run twice within the tube of the straight needle. Because knots are set at both ends of the suture thread, the knots cannot be withdrawn from the soft tissue after entering it. By autonomously controlling the needle spacing and direction of the two needles, the suturing process is more precise and reliable, overcoming the problems of the inability to move the needle spacing and adjust the direction of the two needles in a double-needle device, which leads to suturing failure. However, it uses a safety knob and a secondary limit switch to limit the stroke twice, requiring the user to operate with both hands, making the operation complex and inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the above problems and provide a fiber ring suture device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A fibrous ring suture device includes a puncture and suturing assembly and a handle firing assembly; the puncture and suturing assembly includes a puncture needle, a suture thread, and a puncture pusher; the puncture needle has a hollow structure and a needle tip at one end; the puncture pusher is slidably disposed inside the puncture needle, and a suture storage groove is provided at the end near the needle tip; the suture thread has knots at both ends, and the two knots of the suture thread are respectively located in the suture storage groove of the puncture pusher and at the head of the puncture pusher;
[0007] The handle firing assembly includes a handle housing, a piercing push block, a firing trigger, and a limiting button. The piercing push block is slidably disposed within the handle housing and is fixedly connected to the piercing push rod. The firing trigger is rotatably mounted on the handle housing via a pin, and one end of the firing trigger is connected to the piercing push block, driving the piercing push block to slide by rotating the firing trigger. The limiting button is located on one side of the handle housing and slides up and down along the handle housing when flicked by a finger. A side slider is provided on one side of the piercing push block, and the side slider is arranged intersecting with the piercing push block. A limiting groove is provided on the side of the piercing push block opposite to the side slider, arranged along the sliding direction of the piercing push block. A limiting protrusion matching the limiting groove is provided on the side slider. The limiting button is fixedly disposed on the side slider. Flicking the limiting button by a finger causes the side slider to slide, causing the limiting protrusion to engage or disengage from the limiting groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting switch has three position states during the toggle process, which correspond to the initial position of the puncture and suturing assembly, the first firing position, and the second firing position, respectively.
[0009] The limiting groove has a first limiting surface at one end near the puncture push rod and a second limiting surface at the other end, and the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are arranged in a stepped manner; when the limiting protrusion is fitted into the limiting groove and contacts the first limiting surface, the puncture and suturing assembly is in the initial position, and the side slider limits the initial position of the puncture and suturing assembly.
[0010] When the limiting protrusion disengages from the step where the first limiting surface is located and enters the step where the second limiting surface is located, the puncture and suturing assembly is in the first firing position. The firing trigger drives the puncture push block to slide until the limiting protrusion contacts the second limiting surface, pushing out the knot at the head of the puncture push rod. The side slider performs the first firing limit on the puncture and suturing assembly.
[0011] As the side slider continues to slide until the limiting protrusion disengages from the second limiting surface, the puncture and suturing assembly is in the second firing position. The firing trigger drives the puncture push block to slide, pushing the knot in the storage groove of the puncture push rod out.
[0012] Furthermore, the handle housing is provided with a central partition plate, and the central partition plate is provided with a limiting slide groove; the side slider is slidably disposed in the limiting slide groove; the limiting slide groove is symmetrically provided with side slide grooves on both sides, the side slide groove includes a first slide groove and a second slide groove arranged in a stepped manner along the depth direction of the limiting slide groove, the first slide groove and the second slide groove are connected, and a third limiting surface is provided at the connection between the first slide groove and the second slide groove; the side slider is provided with protruding limiting sliders on both sides, the limiting sliders are slidably disposed in the side slide groove, and slide within the first slide groove and the second slide groove;
[0013] When the side slider slides from the initial position to the first firing position, the limit slider slides in the first groove until it abuts against the third limiting surface. When the limit switch is pressed, the limit slider slides into the second groove along the third limiting surface. If the limit switch is continued to be turned, the side slider will slide along the second groove to the second firing position.
[0014] Furthermore, a spring sheet is provided between the side slider and the limiting slide groove. One end of the spring sheet is fixedly connected to the side slider, and the other end is slidably engaged with the limiting slide groove. When the limiting button is pressed, the spring sheet is compressed at the same time, and the limiting slider slides into the second slide groove along the third limiting surface.
[0015] Furthermore, the limiting slide groove has mounting grooves on both sides that communicate with the side slide groove, and the size of the mounting groove is larger than the size of the limiting slider; when the side slider is installed, the limiting slider enters the side slide groove from the mounting groove.
[0016] Furthermore, flexible damping blocks are provided on both sides of the side slider, and the damping blocks slide in contact with the middle limiting groove.
[0017] Furthermore, a spring is connected between the firing trigger and the handle housing to provide firing damping.
[0018] Furthermore, the firing trigger is located at the front end of the handle housing, and a strip-shaped hole is provided on the side of the handle housing. The limit switch is located in the strip-shaped hole and is located behind the firing trigger. The user can operate the firing trigger and the limit switch with one hand by driving the firing trigger with the index finger and moving the limit switch with the thumb.
[0019] Furthermore, the handle housing is a two-part assembly structure.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] 1. This utility model, through the design of the handle firing assembly and the limiting knob, enables the suture device to be operated entirely with one hand. The firing trigger can be controlled by the index finger, while the limiting knob is adjusted by the thumb, greatly reducing the difficulty of traditional suture devices that require two-handed operation, improving the ease of operation for doctors in minimally invasive surgery, and is especially suitable for surgical scenarios in confined spaces.
[0022] 2. This invention, through the three position states of the limiting knob and the stepped arrangement of the limiting grooves, enables precise positioning of the puncture suturing component, thereby ensuring that the suture knot is accurately pushed out on both sides of the incision. This design effectively avoids the soft tissue collapse at the incision edge caused by the fixed needle spacing or non-adjustable direction of traditional suture devices, significantly improving the success rate and quality of suturing.
[0023] 3. The spring plate design between the side slider and the limiting groove, as well as the application of the flexible damping block, in this utility model provide appropriate rebound force and damping effect. This not only improves the stability of the limiting knob during sliding but also avoids misoperation that may be caused by violent sliding, further improving the reliability of the device.
[0024] 4. In this utility model, the limiting slide groove and the side slide groove adopt a separate design. The installation groove guides the side slide block, making installation and disassembly more convenient. At the same time, the internal structure of the device is simple and easy to maintain. This design significantly reduces production costs and maintenance difficulty, making this utility model more economical and practical.
[0025] 5. Compared with existing double-needle tube or traditional single-needle tube designs, this utility model greatly shortens the suturing time, reduces the doctor's workload, and significantly reduces the failure rate caused by complex operation through precise positioning and single-handed operation, thereby improving the overall surgical efficiency.
