Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a positioning mechanism for a wire anchor. Background Technology

[0002] Positioning mechanisms for suture anchors are commonly used in medical surgeries, such as rotator cuff repair. Their primary function is to assist surgeons in correctly placing the anchor to secure tissue or materials. The guide sleeve of the positioning mechanism connects to the main body of the locator and guides the insertion direction of the anchor. During surgery, the guide sleeve and anchor pusher need to operate in narrow and complex anatomical environments, requiring instruments with high precision and smooth operation. Medical devices are typically used frequently in hospitals, and each operation can cause minor wear and tear, which can accumulate over time and affect their functionality. Because the anchor pusher in the positioning mechanism slides within the guide sleeve, frequent use leads to wear on the inner wall of the guide sleeve, thus affecting its accuracy and performance.
