[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details are presented in the various embodiments of this application to facilitate a better understanding of the application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the various embodiments below is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this application. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.

[0037] Currently, the tip of the ultrasonic scalpel used in clinical applications has a flat end face that contacts soft tissue. When cutting harder or thicker soft tissue, this results in low efficiency or failure to achieve the expected cutting effect.

[0038] To address the aforementioned problems, one embodiment of this application provides an ultrasonic scalpel head, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the ultrasonic scalpel head includes: a blade 10 formed as the body, and a cutting portion 20 disposed at one end of the blade. The blade 10 is cylindrical, and its transverse cross-section can be circular or rectangular with chamfers.

[0039] A cutting section 20 is located at one end (second end 102) of the blade 10. During surgery, the cutting section 20 contacts and removes a portion of the biological tissue. The surface of the cutting section 20 is provided with a plurality of spirally distributed protrusions 21. The other end (first end 101) of the blade 10 is used to connect directly or indirectly to a handle 40 equipped with an ultrasonic transducer. Driven by the ultrasonic transducer, the blade 10 and the cutting section 20 undergo ultrasonic vibration. The high-frequency, small-amplitude vibration of the protrusions 21 on the surface of the cutting section 20 enables faster fragmentation and cutting of soft tissue, thereby reducing surgery time. A suction channel 11 is located inside the blade 10, extending along the length of the blade 10 and through the cutting section 20. During surgery, the suction channel 11 is used to collect and drain the cut or fragmented biological tissue, thereby achieving the purpose of removing diseased tissue.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the blade 10 has a side hole 12 communicating with the suction channel 11. The side hole 12 has a pressure relief function to prevent normal soft tissue from being forcibly sucked into the suction channel 11 when it blocks the end face of the cutting part 20. The diameter of the side hole 12 is smaller than the diameter of the suction channel 11, so that its main suction function can be performed normally when the suction channel 11 is not blocked.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the spike 21 is preferably pyramidal, with the top of the pyramid facing the cutting portion 20 in a radially outward direction; alternatively, the spike 21 can be a square pyramid, a triangular pyramid, or a cone.

[0042] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic vibration of the cutting part is mainly in the following directions: reciprocating linear motion along the length of the blade 10 and reciprocating rotational motion along the outer periphery of the blade 10 (clockwise and counterclockwise rotations alternate periodically); the arrangement shape of the multiple protrusions 21 on the surface of the cutting part 20 is preferably a double helix with alternating directions. The structure of the double helix with alternating directions is adapted to the reciprocating rotational motion, so that the rotational vibration in each direction can cut biological tissue.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4-1 and 4-2 As shown, the side of the cutting part 20 has at least two openings 25; preferably, there are four openings 25; a first cutting surface 251 and a second cutting surface 252 are formed on both sides of the openings 25.

[0044] Preferably, such as Figure 5-1 , 5-2As shown in Figure 5-3, the outer edge of the first cut 251 is higher than the second cut surface 252 and higher than the protrusion 21; during surgery, the end face of the cut 20 is suitable for cutting tissue perpendicular to the length direction of the blade 10; the first cut surface 251 and the second cut surface 252 are suitable for cutting biological soft tissue at a position (surface) consistent with the length direction of the blade 10.

[0045] Preferably, the opening 25 extends through the cutting part 20 to the blade 10. The opening 25 has a certain length and, in addition to the cutting function, can also serve as the pressure relief function of the side hole 12 in the previous embodiment.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6-1 and 6-2 As shown, the cutting section 20 has multiple grooves 22 arranged along its outer periphery on its end face. Compared with the existing planar end face, the grooves 22 have a more direct cutting effect on tissues with higher toughness or harder structure.

[0047] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic scalpel head further includes a shank 30, one end of which is connected to the blade body 10, and the other end is provided with a connecting part 31 for connecting an ultrasonic transducer; preferably, the shank 30, the blade body 10, and the cutting part 20 of the ultrasonic scalpel head are integrally formed.

[0048] According to another aspect of this application, a surgical instrument is proposed, such as Figure 7 As shown, the device includes a handle 40 and an ultrasonic scalpel head as described in any of the above technical solutions. An ultrasonic transducer is housed within the handle 40, with one end connected to the ultrasonic scalpel head and the other end connected to the control unit 50. Specifically, the ultrasonic transducer is installed within the handle 40, and the scalpel shaft 30 is connected to the handle 40 via a connecting part 31. Furthermore, the ultrasonic scalpel head is also connected to a suction pump via the handle 40, which uses negative pressure to extract fragmented biological tissue from the suction channel 11. The handle 40 is electrically connected to the control unit 50, which controls and displays the operating parameters of the surgical instrument, including the frequency and amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration and the suction force of the suction pump.

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this application and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
