Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an L-shaped forceps. Background Technology

[0002] In ophthalmic surgery, procedures involving traversing or transferring tissues refer to the introduction of surgical instruments or materials into the eye through specific structures (such as the cornea and sclera) to achieve therapeutic goals. These procedures demand extremely high precision and safety because the eye is a very sensitive and complex organ; even the slightest error can lead to irreversible damage.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217310481U discloses a multifunctional medical forceps, including a first forceps body and a second forceps body, with their tails fixedly connected. The outer wall of the front end of the first forceps body is provided with a scale for measuring wound length, and a blade is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first forceps body. The second forceps body includes a gripping part and a clamping part, the gripping part being connected to the first forceps body, and the clamping part being rotatably connected to the gripping part. The blade has a retracted state and a working state. When the blade is in the retracted state, it is completely located inside the first forceps body; when the blade is in the working state, the cutting edge of the blade is exposed outside the first forceps body.

[0004] However, the aforementioned forceps have a V-shaped structure, which can only be used in open spaces. When needing to pass through muscle tissue, the V-shaped structure cannot open because it is encased by muscle tissue. Opening the V-shaped structure may damage the muscle tissue and enlarge the wound. Most existing forceps require the assistance of other instruments to deliver items. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that the gripping part of V-shaped forceps is difficult to open or enlarges the wound when it is opened when passing through tissue, this invention provides an L-shaped forceps.

To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] An L-shaped tweezers includes an L-shaped tweezers body 1. The tweezers body 1 is a hollow structure with an internal cavity. The cavity extends from the upper part of the tweezers body 1 to the front end of the tweezers body 1. A flexible transmission component slides inside the hollow cavity of the tweezers body 1. A switch 2 is connected to the upper part of the flexible transmission component, and a clamping part 3 is connected to the lower end face of the flexible transmission component.

[0033] The tweezers body 1 has a handle 11 at the top and a working part 12 at the bottom. The handle 11 has a rectangular cross-section of 4mm*6mm and a switch hole 13 at the top. The working part 12 has a circular cross-section of 1.5mm. The handle 11 and the working part 12 are smoothly connected. A vertical opening 15 is opened in the middle of the end face 14 of the working part 12 away from the handle 11.

[0034] The clamping part 3 is disposed within the opening 15. The left and right sides of the clamping part 3 are slidably connected to the end face 14. The clamping part 3 is a V-shaped structure with elastic deformation capability, including two opposing, flat, duckbill-shaped clamping pieces 32 with elastic deformation capability. One end of the two clamping pieces 32 is connected, and the other ends are separated from each other. The separated ends of the two clamping pieces 32 are streamlined pointed tips, and teeth 31 are arranged in an alternating pattern on the opposite sides of the two pointed tips. The distance between the front and rear ends of the clamping part 3 is greater than the distance between the upper and lower ends of the switch hole 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two clamping pieces 32 are made of 316L stainless steel. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and the two clamping pieces 32 can also be made of silicone or other elastic materials.

[0036] The flexible transmission component includes a flexible transmission shaft 4, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the switch, and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to one end of two clamping plates 32 that are interconnected.

[0037] Flexible transmission components are not limited to attachments Figure 5 The flexible drive shaft 4 shown can also be a flexible drive device composed of steel wire or steel wire and sleeve.

[0038] The switch 2 includes a switch body 21, which is disposed at the switch hole 13 and slidably connected to the outer side of the handheld part 11. The vertical side of the switch body 21 away from the switch hole 13 is provided with anti-slip teeth. A connecting rod 22 is connected to the side of the switch body 21 near the switch hole 13. The connecting rod 22 passes through the switch hole 13 and its two ends are respectively connected to the switch body 21 and the flexible transmission shaft 4.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] During the operation, when using this device, the medical staff holds the handpiece 11 and first flips the switch 2 upward. The switch 2 drives the flexible transmission shaft 4 to slide upward in the cavity of the forceps body 1, which in turn drives the clamping part 3 to slide into the cavity. Due to the obstruction of the end face 14 of the handpiece 11, the two elastic clamping pieces 32 begin to deform, and their ends that are far apart begin to move closer to each other. Then the V-shaped opening of the clamping part 3 closes until most of the clamping part 3 is retracted into the cavity of the forceps body 1. Since the distance between the front and rear ends of the clamping part 3 is greater than the distance between the upper and lower ends of the switch hole 13, the clamping part 3 will not be completely retracted into the cavity, and the tip parts of the two clamping pieces 32 are on the outside of the cavity.

[0041] Then, the medical staff holds the handpiece 11 and passes the front end of the working part 12 through the intact muscle, flips the switch 2 downward, the clamping part 3 extends out of the cavity, and under the action of elastic force, the streamlined tips of the two elastic clamping pieces 32 begin to move away from each other and form a V shape.

[0042] Next, align the V-shaped opening formed by the two elastic clamping pieces 32 with the tissue or device to be clamped, and flip the switch 2 upwards. The clamping part 3 will then close, thereby clamping the tissue or device to be clamped.

[0043] Finally, as the tweezers are withdrawn, the tissue or equipment is transferred to the other side, completing the crossing and delivery process.

[0044] The flexible drive shaft 4 is existing technology and is a device that can realize power or motion transmission in a curved path. It is irrelevant to the point of this invention and will not be described in detail here.
