Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a tubing fixing clamp for an operating table. Background Technology

[0002] In modern surgery, with the advancement of technology, an increasing number of surgical instruments with tubing and wiring are used to improve the precision and efficiency of procedures. To ensure the safety and hygiene of the surgical process, areas outside the surgical area are usually covered with sterile drapes, while exposed surgical sites need to be kept aseptic.

[0003] In practice, the operating table often appears cluttered due to the numerous tubing lines, affecting its cleanliness. Surgeons typically bundle several tubing lines together, wrap them in an outer drape, and then clamp them with forceps to ensure a neat operating table. Currently, hemostats and towel clamps are commonly used to secure the tubing, but these methods cannot provide sufficient clamping force, resulting in insecure tubing that easily slips during use, even sliding from the sterile area into the contaminated area, or vice versa, pulling contaminated tubing back into the sterile area, increasing the risk of cross-infection. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a tubing fixing clamp for operating tables to solve the problem of not being able to effectively fix tubing on the operating table surface using clamps.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide a tubing fixing forceps for operating tables, comprising a forceps body, two outer sheaths, and two adjustment components;

[0006] One end of the clamp body has two first clamping portions that can be relatively close to or far apart from each other;

[0007] Each of the two outer sheaths has a second clamping part on one of its adjacent sides. Each of the first clamping parts is fitted with one of the outer sheaths. The two second clamping parts move closer together as the two first clamping parts move closer together to clamp the cloth wrapping the pipeline.

[0008] The adjustment component is disposed between the outer sheath and the first clamping part, and is used to adjust the position of the outer sheath along the length direction of the first clamping part. One adjustment component corresponds to one outer sheath.

[0009] Furthermore: the first clamping part has a toothed structure along its length;

[0010] The adjustment assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, and an elastic member. The first connector is located inside the outer sheath and hinged to the outer sheath. One end of the first connector has a pawl for adapting to the toothed structure. One end of the second connector is hinged to the other end of the first connector. The second connector is hinged to the outer sheath. The other end of the second connector extends outside the outer sheath. The elastic member is disposed between the first connector and the second connector for bringing the pawl closer to the toothed structure.

[0011] Furthermore: the second clamping part includes a protrusion integrally formed with the outer sheath.

[0012] Furthermore, the second clamping part also includes an anti-slip pad located on the protrusion.

[0013] Furthermore, the end of the second connector extending outside the outer sheath curves upward to form a pressing part.

[0014] Furthermore: the elastic element is a helical spring, with one end located on the first connecting member and the other end located on the second connecting member.

[0015] Furthermore: When the end of the second connector extending outside the outer sheath is pressed by an external force, the pawl is lifted to avoid the toothed structure, causing the outer sheath to move inward on the first clamping part. The elastic element is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. After the second connector is no longer under force, the elastic element releases elastic potential energy, causing the pawl to approach the teeth of the toothed structure.

[0016] When the outer sheath is pulled outward, the pawl moves along with the movement of the outer sheath. The pawl, in conjunction with the elastic element, moves to the next level tooth of the toothed structure, restricting the outer sheath from moving inward on the first clamping part.

[0017] Furthermore: the first clamping part is provided with a sliding groove, and the outer sheath is slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0018] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] When catheter fixation is required, the surgeon first wraps the catheter in a clean cloth and places it between the first clamping parts of the forceps. By manipulating the handles of the forceps, the first clamping parts are brought closer together, initially clamping the cloth covering the catheter. Next, the position of the outer sheath is adjusted using an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism allows the outer sheath to move outward along the length of the first clamping parts. The second clamping part further tightens the catheter as the outer sheath moves. This design not only improves the reliability of fixation but also reduces the risk of infection due to catheter slippage, making it easier for the surgeon to secure the catheter firmly.

[0043] In practice, the operating table often appears cluttered due to the numerous tubing lines, affecting its cleanliness. Surgeons typically bundle several tubing lines together, wrap them in an outer drape, and then clamp them with forceps to ensure a neat operating table. Currently, hemostats and towel clamps are commonly used to secure the tubing, but these methods cannot provide sufficient clamping force, resulting in insecure tubing that easily slips during use, even sliding from the sterile area into the contaminated area, or vice versa, pulling contaminated tubing back into the sterile area, increasing the risk of cross-infection.

[0044] To resolve the above technical issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a tubing fixation clamp for an operating table, including a clamp body 1, two outer sheaths 2 and two adjustment components 3;

[0045] One end of the clamp body 1 has two first clamping parts 11 that can be brought closer together or moved away from each other;

[0046] Two outer sheaths 2 each have a second clamping part 21 on their adjacent sides. Each first clamping part 11 is fitted with an outer sheath 2. The two second clamping parts 21 move closer together as the two first clamping parts 11 move closer together to clamp the cloth wrapping the pipeline.

[0047] The adjustment component 3 is located between the outer sheath 2 and the first clamping part 11, and is used to adjust the position of the outer sheath 2 along the length direction of the first clamping part 11. One adjustment component 3 corresponds to one outer sheath 2.

[0048] When it is necessary to secure the tubing, the surgeon first wraps the tubing in a clean cloth and places it between the first clamping portions 11 of the clamp body 1. By manipulating the handle portion of the clamp body 1, the first clamping portions 11 are brought closer together, initially clamping the cloth covering the tubing. Next, the position of the outer sheath 2 is adjusted using the adjusting assembly 3. The adjusting assembly 3 allows the outer sheath 2 to move outward along the length of the first clamping portions 11. The second clamping portion 21 further tightens the tubing as the outer sheath 2 moves, providing a stronger clamping force, such as... Figure 7 As shown in the image. This design not only improves the reliability of fixation but also reduces the risk of infection due to tubing slippage, making it easier for surgeons to securely fix the tubing.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the first clamping part 11 has a toothed structure 111 along its length; the adjusting component 3 includes a first connecting member 31, a second connecting member 32 and an elastic member 33. The first connecting member 31 is located inside the outer sheath 2 and is hinged to the outer sheath 2. One end of the first connecting member 31 has a pawl 311 for adapting to the toothed structure 111. One end of the second connecting member 32 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting member 31. The second connecting member 32 is hinged to the outer sheath 2. The other end of the second connecting member 32 extends out of the outer sheath 2. The elastic member 33 is disposed between the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 for bringing the pawl 311 closer to the toothed structure 111.

[0050] The end of the second connector 32 extending outside the outer sheath 2 is pressed by an external force, causing the pawl 311 to lift up and avoid the toothed structure 111, so that the outer sheath 2 moves inward on the first clamping part 11. The elastic member 33 compresses and stores elastic potential energy. After the second connector 32 is no longer under force, the elastic member 33 releases elastic potential energy, causing the pawl 311 to approach the teeth of the toothed structure 111.

[0051] Pull the outer sheath 2 outward, and the pawl 311 moves along with the movement of the outer sheath 2. The pawl 311, together with the elastic element 33, moves to the next level tooth of the toothed structure 111, restricting the outer sheath 2 from moving inward on the first clamping part 11.

[0052] The surgeon presses the portion of the second connector 32 that extends out of the outer sheath 2, causing the pawl 311 to lift and avoid the toothed structure 111, thus allowing the outer sheath 2 to be easily moved to adjust its position. This operation allows the outer sheath 2 to move inward. Once the second connector 32 is released, the elastic element 33 pushes the pawl 311 to re-engage with the toothed structure 111, ensuring that the outer sheath 2 is fixed in the desired position and can no longer move inward.

[0053] The engagement mechanism between the pawl 311 and the toothed structure 111 effectively prevents the outer sheath 2 from sliding backward under external force, enhancing the stability of the fixation and reducing the risk caused by pipeline slippage. The pawl 311 is a curved claw shape and is integrally formed with the first connector 31. The first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can be made of plastic.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second clamping part 21 includes a protrusion 211 integrally formed with the outer sheath 2. This integral forming avoids additional connection points or seams, enhancing the overall structural strength and durability. The protrusion 211 can be designed in various shapes (e.g., arc-shaped, trapezoidal, etc.) to ensure optimal clamping effect. The protrusion 211 is located on one side of the two second clamping parts 21 facing each other. The protrusion 211 allows for better alignment and clamping of the tubing, preventing the tubing and fabric from falling off.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second clamping part 21 further includes an anti-slip pad 212 located on the protrusion 211. The anti-slip pad 212 can be made of rubber, silicone, or other materials with a high coefficient of friction, and its surface can have an uneven structure to enhance friction during clamping. This ensures that the cloth covering the tubing is securely fixed and prevents slippage.

[0056] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the end of the second connector 32 extending outside the outer sheath 2 curves upward to form a pressing part 321. The pressing part 321 typically has an ergonomic design, such as an arc shape, to improve the efficiency of pressure transmission and user comfort. The design of the pressing part 321 allows the user to easily press this part with their fingers to operate the adjustment component 3.

[0057] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, the elastic element 33 is a helical spring, with one end located on the first connecting member 31 and the other end located on the second connecting member 32. As a common type of elastic element, the helical spring possesses good elasticity and durability, effectively storing and releasing elastic potential energy. One end of the helical spring can be fixed to the first connecting member 31 by a snap-fit ​​or other mechanical means, while the other end is similarly fixed to the second connecting member 32. This ensures that when the second connecting member 32 is subjected to force, the spring can compress and store energy, and when released, the spring can return to its original shape and push the pawl 311 of the first connecting member 31 to reset.

[0058] Please see Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first clamping part 11 is provided with a groove 112, and the outer sheath 2 is slidably connected in the groove 112. The outer sheath 2 is provided with a slider that matches the groove 112, so that the outer sheath 2 can slide freely in the groove 112. The design of the groove 112 ensures that the outer sheath 2 always moves along a predetermined path during the sliding process, avoiding the phenomenon of deviation.

[0059] Please see Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first clamping part 11 has a sliding groove 112 on each of its two side walls, and the outer sheath 2 has a slider on each of its two side walls, with one slider corresponding to one sliding groove 112.

[0060] In this embodiment, to prevent the outer sheath 2 from accidentally detaching from the first clamping part 11, an anti-detachment structure is provided between the outer sheath 2 and the first clamping part 11. This anti-detachment structure prevents the outer sheath 2 from detaching from the clamp head where the first clamping part 11 is located along the length of the clamp body 1. As an optional implementation, the anti-detachment structure includes an anti-detachment groove 113 provided in the slide groove 112 and an anti-detachment protrusion 22 provided on the slider of the outer sheath 2, as described above. Figure 8 As shown, the anti-detachment protrusion 22 is slidably connected in the anti-detachment groove 113, allowing the outer sheath 2 to slide freely within the groove 112 while the anti-detachment protrusion is limited by the two ends of the groove, thereby precisely controlling the displacement of the outer sheath 2 on the first clamping part 11 and preventing separation. Alternatively, the end wall of the groove 112 forms an anti-detachment structure, located at the end of the groove 112 near the clamp head. When the user pulls the outer sheath 2 outward, a portion of the outer sheath 2 is held in place by this end wall, preventing further displacement and thus preventing the outer sheath 2 from detaching from the first clamping part 11. This design is simple and effective, reducing the need for additional components.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the clamp body 1 consists of two levers connected by a pivot. One end of the lever is a first clamping part 11, and the other end is a handle. When a hand force is applied to the two handles, the jaw part (the position between the two first clamping parts 11) will close, thereby realizing its function.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
