Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical instrument technology, specifically to anvil assembly and surgical instruments. Background Technology

[0002] Medical staplers are widely used in surgical procedures for wound suturing, internal tissue suturing, and cutting. Surgical procedures are increasingly trending towards minimally invasive surgery. In a narrow sense, minimally invasive surgery refers to surgery performed under endoscopy. Generally, only a few small holes need to be made in the patient's body to insert the medical stapler and auxiliary instruments into the patient's body to perform the surgery. This results in less trauma to the patient, and the patient can recover in a shorter time.

[0003] Existing medical staplers used in minimally invasive surgery, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a stapler body 100 and an execution end 200 disposed at the distal end of the stapler body 100. The execution end 200 includes a staple cartridge seat 300 and a staple seat 400 disposed opposite to each other. One end of the staple cartridge seat 300 and the staple seat 400 are rotatably connected so that the staple cartridge seat 300 and the staple seat 400 have two states: open and closed. During the operation, the execution end is placed in the surgical position, and the size of the opening between the staple cartridge seat 300 and the staple seat 400 is adjusted to gradually clamp the tissue. Then, the staples in the staple cartridge seat are pushed towards the staple seat, so that the staples are sutured to the tissue.

[0004] In some surgeries, an olecranon structure 500 is needed at the front end of the anvil 400 for dissecting or separating tissues at the surgical site or for hooking certain tissues. The anvil is then slowly inserted into the narrow gap of the tissue or organ by using the olecranon structure to perform the anastomosis operation. Currently, the anvil and the olecranon structure are designed as a single unit. However, after prolonged use, the olecranon structure may be damaged, posing a risk of tissue abrasion during surgery. Therefore, the current design makes the connection between the anvil and the olecranon structure detachable for easy replacement and to ensure safe use during surgery. The existing connection method between the anvil and the olecranon structure is not only cumbersome to assemble and disassemble, but may also damage the component structure, thereby damaging the instrument. There is also a risk that tissue may be trapped in the gap between the anvil and the olecranon structure. Utility Model Content

[0035] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the anvil assembly includes an anvil 400 and a beak structure 500 detachably connected to the front end of the anvil 400. The beak structure 500 includes a beak 1 and a guide mechanism and a engagement mechanism disposed on the beak 1. The guide mechanism is used to abut against the anvil 400 to guide and position the beak 1 relative to the anvil 400. The engagement mechanism is used to interference fit the beak 1 and the anvil 400.

[0038] The guiding mechanism includes a guide post 2, which is located at the rear end of the beak 1. The guide post 2 and the beak 1 are an integral structure. The front end of the anvil seat 400 is provided with a guide groove 3 that matches the guide post 2. The beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 are positioned and abutted by the guide post 2 and the guide groove 3. The guide post 2 and the guide groove 3 can be used to pre-position the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400, which is convenient for assembly.

[0039] Both guide post 2 and guide groove 3 are cross-shaped. It should be noted that the shapes of guide post 2 and guide groove 3 can be set according to the actual situation. Guide groove 3 is set along the length of the anvil seat 400, and guide groove 3 is open to facilitate the insertion of guide post 2.

[0040] The front end of Eagle Beak 1 is a pointed tip, and Eagle Beak 1 is made of plastic.

[0041] The engagement mechanism includes at least two suction cups 4, which are fixed to the rear end of the beak 1. The front end of the anvil 400 is provided with a suction groove 5 for accommodating the suction cups 4. When the beak 1 and the anvil 400 are engaged, the suction cups 4 are attracted to the bottom surface of the suction groove 5. By providing the suction groove 5 for accommodating the suction cups 4, the suction cups 4 can be placed into the suction groove 5, ensuring that there is no gap between the beak 1 and the end face of the anvil 400.

[0042] The disassembly and assembly process of Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows: When assembly is required, the beak 1 is guided and positioned into the guide groove 3 of the anvil seat 400 by the guide post 2, so that the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 are pre-positioned and engaged. At the same time, during the engagement of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400, the suction cup 4 is placed into the suction groove 5. After the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 are engaged, the suction cup 4 and the suction groove 5 are interference-fitted, and the suction cup 4 can be tightly attracted to the bottom surface of the suction groove 5, so that the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 can be tightly engaged, ensuring that the end faces of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 fit together without gaps and the connection is reliable. This can prevent the risk of tissue drilling into the gap between the anvil seat 400 and the beak 1 during surgery. When disassembly is required, the beak 1 can be easily pulled out in the opposite direction of the engagement of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400, so disassembly and assembly are convenient and there is no risk of damaging the structure of the parts.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figures 6-10 As shown, the difference between this second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the joining mechanism includes a magnet 6, which has a shape that matches the rear end face of the beak 1. The magnet 6 has an insertion port 7 that matches the guide post 2. The magnet 6 passes through the insertion port 7 and is then fastened to the beak 1. The anvil 400 is made of metal, and when the beak 1 and the anvil 400 are joined, the magnet 6 and the front end face of the anvil 400 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the magnet 6 and the beak 1 are fastened together by adhesive, but they can also be fastened by other connection methods; the magnet 6 can also be embedded in the rear end face of the beak 1, as long as it can achieve a tight magnetic attraction between the beak 1 and the anvil 400.

[0046] The disassembly and assembly process of Embodiment 2 of this utility model is as follows: When assembly is required, the beak 1 is guided and positioned into the guide groove 3 of the anvil seat 400 by the guide post 2, so that the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 are pre-positioned and engaged. At the same time, during the engagement of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400, the magnet 6, which is fastened to the beak 1, can magnetically attract the front end face of the anvil seat 400, so that the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 can be tightly engaged, and the end face of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400 can be seamlessly fitted, and the connection is reliable. This can prevent the risk of tissue drilling into the gap between the anvil seat 400 and the beak 1 during the operation. When disassembly is required, the beak 1 can be easily pulled out in the opposite direction of the engagement of the beak 1 and the anvil seat 400, so disassembly and assembly are convenient and there is no risk of damaging the structure of the parts.

[0047] This invention also provides a surgical instrument, including the aforementioned anvil assembly.
