Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary thoracoscopic sleeves, specifically an auxiliary thoracoscopic sleeve for single-port thoracoscopic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Single-port thoracoscopic surgery is an innovative surgical technique in the development of thoracoscopic surgery. With the continuous advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, thoracoscopic surgery has gradually evolved from the traditional multi-port method to a single-port method. The aim is to further reduce surgical trauma, alleviate postoperative pain, and promote rapid patient recovery. Single-port thoracoscopic surgery completes the procedure through only one incision, demanding higher surgical skills from the surgeon, as all surgical instruments and the thoracoscope must enter the thoracic cavity through this limited channel. The surgical space is relatively confined, and instruments are prone to interference. During single-port thoracoscopic surgery, the assistant's support of the thoracoscope is crucial.
[0003] Traditional incision protectors lack auxiliary devices. Assistants need to maintain the stability of the thoracoscopic body while applying upward force to keep the thoracoscopic body at the upper edge of the incision. This is quite strenuous when supported for a long time and can easily cause the lens to shift.
[0004] To address these issues, those skilled in the art have proposed a single-port thoracoscopic auxiliary support sleeve to resolve the problems raised in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a single-port thoracoscopic auxiliary support sleeve, which solves the problem that the existing incision protection sleeve lacks an auxiliary device, and the assistant has to use upward force to keep the scope stable, which is physically demanding and can easily lead to lens displacement.
[0006] A single-port thoracoscopic auxiliary support sleeve includes: an incision protection sleeve, which includes an outer clasp, an inner clasp, and an elastic tube, wherein the elastic tube is connected between the outer clasp and the inner clasp;
[0007] A collar, wherein a through groove is provided on the circumference of the collar, and the collar is fitted onto the circumference of an outer retaining ring;
[0008] A positioning component is fixedly connected to the periphery of the collar; the positioning component tightens and positions the thoracoscopic lens tubing inside the collar.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning component includes an elastic band, a gathering band, and a tensioning band; a first hook and a second hook are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the elastic band; the gathering band is fixedly connected to the side wall of the elastic band, and the surface of the gathering band has a plurality of locking holes, the first hook cooperating with the locking holes; the tensioning band and the second hook are fixed inside the collar, and the tensioning band cooperating with the second hook.
[0010] Preferably, the tensioning band has a "U" shaped band structure.
[0011] Preferably, a tensioning band is fixedly connected to the periphery of the tensioning band.
[0012] Preferably, the gathering strap and the tensioning strap are both made of antibacterial latex material.
[0013] Preferably, the positioning component is a positioning belt, both ends of which are fixed to the inner side of the collar, and a tension member is fixedly connected to the periphery of the positioning belt. The positioning belt is made of antibacterial latex material.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention, by incorporating an incision protective sleeve, a collar, and a drawstring, greatly reduces the workload of the assistant, who only needs to maintain the stability of the endoscope. This allows the assistant to maintain better focus and operational stability during surgery, ensuring a relatively stable surgical field of view. The surgeon can observe the surgical site more clearly and perform precise operations, which helps improve the accuracy and safety of the surgery and reduces surgical risks.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown: This utility model provides a single-port thoracoscopic auxiliary support sleeve, including an incision protective sleeve and a positioning component:
[0023] The cut protection sleeve includes an outer retaining ring 1, an inner retaining ring 2, and an elastic tube 3, with the elastic tube 3 connecting the outer retaining ring 1 and the inner retaining ring 2.
[0024] An incision protective sleeve is formed by an outer clasp 1, an inner clasp 2, and an elastic tube 3 to support and protect the thoracic incision. Both the outer clasp 1 and the inner clasp 2 are made of flexible steel rings, and the elastic tube 3 is attached to the incision site.
[0025] The positioning components include an elastic band 401, a drawstring 5, and a tension band 6;
[0026] Elastic band 401 is fixed to the periphery of collar 4, and a first hook 402 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of elastic band 401; collar 4 is snapped onto the periphery of outer retaining ring 1 through a through groove, and collar 4 can slide along outer retaining ring 1 to adjust its position; gathering band 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of elastic band 401, and the surface of gathering band 5 has a plurality of locking holes 501, and the first hook 402 cooperates with the locking holes 501; tension band 6 and second hook 602 are fixed to the inner side of collar 4, and tension band 6 cooperates with second hook 602.
[0027] The tension band 6 has a U-shaped structure, and a pull strip 601 is fixedly connected to its perimeter. Both the drawstring 5 and the tension band 6 are made of antibacterial latex. By pulling the pull strip 601, the tension band 6 can be made to fit and wrap around the bottom of the lens cable inside the collar 4. Then, the tension band 6 is placed on the corresponding second hook 602, thus providing secondary restraint for the lens cable. This secondary restraint can constrain the lens cable from different directions, effectively reducing the instability such as shaking and displacement that may occur during the operation. The drawstring 5 and the tension band 6 are both made of antibacterial latex, which not only ensures the effectiveness of fixing the lens cable, but also inhibits bacterial growth to a certain extent, reduces the risk of surgical infection, and further ensures the safety and smooth progress of the operation.
[0028] By placing the lens cable inside the drawstring 5, the lens cable can be tightened by tightening the drawstring 5. Since the drawstring 5 is relatively long, the lens cable can be tightened by a figure-eight binding method. After tightening the lens, the position of the drawstring 5 is fixed by using the locking hole 501 in conjunction with the first hook 402, which ensures the stability of the cable fixation. Furthermore, the drawstring 5 can be loosened by contacting the limit of the first hook 402.
[0029] As can be seen from the above, the outer retaining ring 1, the inner retaining ring 2, and the elastic tube 3 of the incision protective sleeve are first placed at the thoracic incision. The outer retaining ring 1 and the inner retaining ring 2 maintain their shape by relying on their flexible steel ring structure, and the elastic tube 3 fits the incision, playing a role in supporting and protecting the incision. Due to the through groove design, the collar 4 can slide along the outer retaining ring 1, and the position of the collar 4 on the incision protective sleeve can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual surgical needs.
[0030] The lens cable is placed inside the retaining strap 5. Due to its considerable length, the retaining strap 5 can be tightened using a figure-eight binding method. This binding method applies pressure evenly to the lens cable, securing it firmly. After tightening, the retaining strap 5 is locked in place by engaging the locking holes 501 on its surface with the first hook 402, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the elastic band 401, preventing loosening and ensuring the stability of the lens cable. Adjusting or loosening the lens cable is easily achieved by simply disconnecting the first hook 402 from the locking holes 501.
[0031] In single-port thoracoscopic surgery, the assistant uses this auxiliary support sleeve to fix the thoracoscopic body to the upper edge of the incision. The strap secures five pairs of lens tubing. The assistant only needs to keep the thoracoscopic body stable, without having to apply additional upward force to maintain the position of the thoracoscopic body as in the traditional method. This allows the assistant to operate more easily, reduces fatigue, and also ensures the relative stability of the thoracoscopic position during the operation, providing the surgeon with a clear and stable surgical field of vision, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the operation.
[0032] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component is a positioning band 7. Both ends of the positioning band 7 are fixed to the inside of the collar 4. A tension member 701 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the positioning band 7. The positioning band 7 is made of antibacterial latex material. By stretching the positioning band 7, the lens tube can be quickly fixed directly. The positioning band 7 can be quickly pulled by the tension member 701 to insert the lens. After releasing the tension member 701, the positioning band 7 quickly returns to its original position, thereby tightening the lens tube and fixing the lens tube.
