[0026] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings, which do not limit the disclosure recorded in the claims in any way.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the following will be combined Figures 1-4 to explain in detail the intervertebral space distraction device provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0028] The embodiments of the present application provide an intervertebral space distraction device, as shown in Figures 1-4 , specifically, the intervertebral space distraction device includes a distraction driving assembly and a distraction assembly arranged at one end of the distraction driving assembly.

[0029] Among them, the distraction assembly includes a first distraction member 11 and a second distraction member 12, the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 are respectively located on both sides of the distraction driving assembly; the distraction driving assembly includes a driving rod 21 and a distraction driving member 22 arranged at one end of the driving rod 21, the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 are respectively located on both sides of the driving rod 21, the driving rod 21 can drive the distraction driving member 22 to move along the axial direction of the driving rod 21, the movement of the distraction driving member 22 can drive the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 to move towards the direction away from the driving rod 21.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 can jointly act on the intervertebral space to distract the intervertebral space, so as to enlarge the intervertebral space, specifically, the driving rod 21 can be used to drive the distraction driving member 22 to move towards the direction of the driving rod 21, and then the distraction driving member 22 can drive the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 to move towards the direction away from the driving rod 21, so as to distract the narrow and small intervertebral space, so as to restore the height of the intervertebral space, facilitate the subsequent treatment of the intervertebral space and the implantation of the intervertebral fusion cage, and improve the safety and efficiency of the operation.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, when the intervertebral space opening device is in the retracted state, the first opening member 11 and the second opening member 12 partially overlap, and the width of the first opening member 11 and the second opening member 12 is small, which makes the opening structure composed of the first opening member 11 and the second opening member 12 in a thin sheet state, thereby helping the intervertebral space opening device to be inserted into the narrow intervertebral space.

[0032] In practical applications, both the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 are thin sheet structures with bent portions. The bent portions on the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 are arranged opposite to each other. When the intervertebral disc opening device is in the retracted state, the bent portions on the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 are in a cross state. Furthermore, a support and stabilizing structure is provided on the side of the first support member 11 away from the second support member 12, and a support and stabilizing structure is also provided on the side of the second support member 12 away from the first support member 11. Thus, when the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 are in the open state, the support and stabilizing structures on the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can be used to support and stabilize the intervertebral disc, thereby improving the stability and reliability of opening the intervertebral disc. For example, the support and stabilizing structure can be a wave-shaped structure or an inverted triangular structure.

[0033] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive rod 21 includes an inner drive rod 211 and a fixed rod 212 disposed outside the inner drive rod 211. The fixed rod 212 is sleeved outside the inner drive rod 211, and the outer side wall of one end of the fixed rod 212 is fixedly connected to the spreading drive member 22. The inner drive rod 211 is movable relative to the spreading drive member 22.

[0034] In this embodiment of the application, one end of the inner drive rod 211 is connected to the spreading drive member 22, and the inner drive rod 211 can move relative to the spreading drive member 22. Thus, the movement of the inner drive rod 211 can drive the spreading drive member 22 to move along the axial direction of the drive rod 21, thereby enabling the first spreading member 11 and the second spreading member 12 to switch between the retracted state and the spreading state.

[0035] In practical applications, the cross-section of the inner drive rod 211 is the same as that of the fixed rod 212. Specifically, the cross-section of the inner drive rod 211 can be circular, triangular, elliptical or rectangular. Preferably, the cross-section of the inner drive rod 211 is circular. Further, the cross-section of the fixed rod 212 can be circular, triangular, elliptical or rectangular. Preferably, the cross-section of the fixed rod 212 is circular.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, one end of the first dilator 11 and one end of the second dilator 12 are both rotationally connected to the outer side wall of the fixed rod 212 near the one end of the dilator driving member 22.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, one end of the first dilator 11 is rotationally connected to the outer side wall of the fixed rod 212 near the one end of the dilator driving member 22, so that the other end of the first dilator 11 can rotate with the connecting part of the fixed rod 212 as the rotation axis. Further, one end of the second dilator 12 is rotationally connected to the outer side wall of the fixed rod 212 near the one end of the dilator driving member 22, so that the other end of the second dilator 12 can rotate with the connecting part of the fixed rod 212 as the rotation axis. In this way, the dilator driving member 22 can drive the first dilator 11 and the second dilator 12 to rotate towards the direction away from the driving rod 21, so as to support the intervertebral space.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 the dilator driving member 22 comprises a connecting part 221 and a dilator driving body 222 arranged at one end of the connecting part 221, and the connecting part 221 is fixedly connected to the dilator driving body 222. At least part of the structure of the connecting part 221 is located outside the inner driving rod 211.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting part 221 is used to match the inner driving rod 211, and the dilator driving body 222 is used to drive the first dilator 11 and the second dilator 12 to rotate. In this way, through the matched connection of the connecting part 221 and the inner driving rod 211, the inner driving rod 211 can drive the dilator driving body 222 to move along the axial direction of the inner driving rod 211 through the connecting part 221, so as to drive the first dilator 11 and the second dilator 12 to rotate towards the direction away from the driving rod 21, thereby achieving the dilatation of the first dilator 11 and the second dilator 12.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 the connecting part 221 is provided with a threaded structure, and the outer side wall of the one end of the inner driving rod 211 near the connecting part 221 is provided with a threaded matching structure 213 which matches the threaded structure.

[0041] Specifically, by the threaded connection between the threaded structure in the connecting portion 221 and the threaded matching structure 213 on the outer sidewall of the inner driving rod 211, the driving of the distraction driving body 222 can be achieved. In actual application, when the inner driving rod 211 is tightened with the connecting portion 221, the connecting portion 221 can move towards the inner driving rod 211, and thus the distraction driving body 222 can be driven to move towards the inner driving rod 211, at which time the distraction driving body 222 can distract the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 to support the intervertebral space.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the distraction driving body 222 is provided with a first inclined surface 223 and a second inclined surface 224, both of which are located on the side of the distraction driving body 222 close to the connecting portion 221, and the first inclined surface 223 and the second inclined surface 224 are oppositely arranged. Specifically, the end of the first distraction member 11 away from the fixed rod 212 abuts against the first inclined surface 223, and the end of the second distraction member 12 away from the fixed rod 212 abuts against the second inclined surface 224.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, when the distraction driving body 222 moves towards the inner driving rod 211, the first inclined surface 223 can drive the end of the first distraction member 11 away from the fixed rod 212 to rotate towards the direction away from the inner driving rod 211, and the second inclined surface 224 can drive the end of the second distraction member 12 away from the fixed rod 212 to rotate towards the direction away from the inner driving rod 211, thereby achieving the distraction driving of the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12.

[0044] In one optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the end of the fixed rod 212 away from the distraction driving member 22 is provided with a gripping member 3, which is annular in structure, and the outer diameter of the annular gripping member 3 increases in sequence in the direction away from the distraction driving member 22.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the gripping member 3 is provided to hold the intervertebral space distraction device, and further, the outer diameter of the gripping member 3 is set to increase in sequence in the direction away from the distraction driving member 22, thereby avoiding the situation that the gripping member 3 close to the distraction driving member 22 blocks the intervertebral space and cannot extend to the distant intervertebral space, so that the distant intervertebral space cannot be distracted.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the intervertebral space distraction device further comprises a rotating driving member 4, which is located on the side of the holding member 3 away from the distraction driving member 22, and the driving end of the rotating driving member 4 is fixedly connected with the other end of the inner driving rod 211.

[0047] Specifically, the rotating driving member 4 is arranged to drive the inner driving rod 211 to rotate, in a specific embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the rotating driving member 4 is arranged to be rotated by the operator. Figure 1 As shown, the outer side wall of the rotating driving member 4 is provided with anti-skid stripes 41, which are arranged along the axial direction of the rotating driving member 4. The anti-skid stripes 41 are arranged to increase the friction between the rotating driving member 4 and the hand, so as to avoid the situation of slipping when the rotating driving member 4 is twisted by the hand, thereby improving the stability of the intervertebral space distraction device.

[0048] In combination with the above description of the specific structure of the intervertebral space distraction device, the specific working principle of the intervertebral space distraction device will be described below.

[0049] Specifically, the operator can insert the intervertebral space distraction device in the collapsed state into the intervertebral space, and then rotate the rotating driving member 4 while holding the holding member 3, so that the rotating driving member 4 can drive the inner driving rod 211 to rotate. The rotation of the inner driving rod 211 can make the distraction driving member 22 move towards the direction where the inner driving rod 211 is located. At this time, the first inclined surface 223 on the distraction driving body 222 of the distraction driving member 22 drives the first distraction member 11 to rotate away from the end of the fixed rod 212 towards the direction away from the inner driving rod 211. The second inclined surface 224 on the distraction driving body 222 of the distraction driving member 22 drives the second distraction member 12 to rotate away from the end of the fixed rod 212 towards the direction away from the inner driving rod 211. Thus, the distraction driving of the first distraction member 11 and the second distraction member 12 can be achieved, so that the intervertebral space distraction device is in the distraction state. When it is necessary to pull out the intervertebral space distraction device, the rotating driving member 4 can be rotated in the opposite direction. At this time, the distraction driving member 22 can move towards the direction away from the inner driving rod 211, so that the intervertebral space distraction device is in the collapsed state, and the intervertebral space distraction device can be pulled out.

[0050] The above embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0051] The application sets the distraction driving assembly and the distraction assembly arranged at one end of the distraction driving assembly, wherein the first distraction member and the second distraction member in the distraction assembly are respectively arranged at two sides of the distraction driving assembly, and then the driving rod in the distraction driving assembly can drive the distraction driving member in the distraction driving assembly to move along the axial direction of the driving rod, so as to drive the first distraction member and the second distraction member to move towards the direction away from the driving rod, and then the narrow and small intervertebral space can be distracted to restore the height of the intervertebral space, thereby facilitating the subsequent treatment of the intervertebral space and the implantation of the intervertebral fusion cage, and improving the safety and efficiency of the operation.
