Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to a disposable suture fixator. Background Technology
[0002] A suture fixation device is a medical device mainly used for suture placement during open-chest surgery in cardiothoracic surgery. The suture fixation device mainly consists of three parts: a suture hook, a sheath, and a cannula. Its working principle is to use the suture hook inside the cannula to pull out the suture, which is convenient for knotting after the operation and ensures that it can be used only once. These components together form a complete fixation system for fixing sutures during surgery.
[0003] To facilitate operation, a pull ring is usually provided at one end of the suture hook for pulling the hook to complete suture traction. However, the surface of the pull ring is smooth, and in the surgical environment, the doctor's hands are often contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids, which can easily cause the pull ring to slip off the hand. In addition, the sleeve relies on its own elasticity to fit tightly to the end of the cannula, which makes the fit between the sleeve and the cannula not tight enough. Under the influence of external forces such as collision and traction of instruments during surgery, it is easy to accidentally fall off. Furthermore, the U-shaped opening of the suture hook is too large, and the sharp edge can easily scratch and damage human tissue during the suture retraction process. These problems not only affect the efficiency of surgery, but may also have an adverse impact on the patient's prognosis. There is an urgent need for technical improvement and optimization. Therefore, a disposable suture fixation device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1
[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a disposable thread retainer that can prevent the pull ring from slipping from the hand and tightly lock the sleeving head onto the sleeve, and can also prevent the thread hook from scratching human tissue. It includes: sleeve 100, thread unit 200 and sealing unit 300.
[0034] The wire unit 200 includes a hook 201. One end of the hook 201 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 203 via a connector 202. The surface of the pull ring 203 is provided with an anti-slip groove 204. The other end of the hook 201 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion structure.
[0035] The sealing unit 300 includes a sleeve 301, which is elastically slidably fitted onto the end of the sleeve 100. The inner wall of the sleeve 301 is provided with a raised ring 302 extending inward toward the sleeve 100. The bottom of the sleeve 301 is provided with a thread hole 303 for the thread hook 201 to pass through.
[0036] The connector 202 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve 100 from one end of the sleeve 100, and the hook 201 passes through the thread hole 303 of the sleeve 100 and the sleeve head 301 in sequence.
[0037] The cannula 100 is made of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride plastic, and the hook 201 is made of nylon or stainless steel wire. During assembly, the sleeve head 301 is first placed on the end of the cannula 100. The raised ring 302 on the inner wall of the sleeve head 301 is tightly clamped to the cannula 100 by interference fit. The surface of the raised ring 302 is treated with anti-slip to increase the friction between the sleeve head 301 and the cannula 100, effectively preventing the sleeve head from falling off due to external impact during the operation. At the same time, the silicone sleeve head 301 can form a flexible wrap around the end of the cannula 100 to avoid sharp edges damaging human tissue. Then, the hook 201 is passed through the threading hole 303 of the cannula 100 and the sleeve head 301 in sequence. Then, the round rod 202a is inserted into the inner cavity of one end of the cannula 100. The round rod 202a is tightly inserted into the cannula 100 by interference fit.
[0038] The anti-slip groove 204 on the surface of the pull ring 203 is used to increase the contact area and surface roughness of the pull ring 203, so as to provide stable grip force even in complex environments where the doctor's hands are contaminated with bodily fluids. The end of the hook 201 is provided with a smooth hemispherical protrusion with the same diameter as the main body, which effectively eliminates the risk of sharp edges cutting the tissue when hooking the suture. After the hook 201 hooks the suture, the doctor can pull the pull ring 203 to drive the hook 201 to pull the suture through the thread hole 303 and the sleeve 100 in sequence, thereby completing the suture retraction operation and enabling convenient knot tying after the operation.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the anti-slip groove 204 is spirally wrapped around the surface of the pull ring 203, and the connector 202 has no contact with the anti-slip groove 204.
[0041] The anti-slip groove 204, through a spiral winding method, can achieve all-round and multi-directional anti-slip coverage for the circular pull ring 203, and the anti-slip groove 204 does not conflict with the connector 202, so as to ensure the consistency and aesthetics of the overall appearance.
[0042] Specifically, the connector 202 includes a round rod 202a. The hook 201 and the pull ring 203 are fixed together by the round rod 202a. The surface of the round rod 202a is provided with a first conical surface 202b and a second conical surface 202c. The maximum diameter of the first conical surface 202b is adapted to the inner diameter of the sleeve 100, and the minimum diameter of the second conical surface 202c is adapted to the inner diameter of the sleeve head 301. The double conical structure enables the connector 202 to be accurately positioned and smoothly slide within the sleeve 100 and the sleeve head 301.
[0043] The minimum diameter of the first conical surface 202b is smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve 100, so that the round rod 202a can be quickly inserted into the sleeve 100 through the first conical surface 202b. The maximum diameter of the second conical surface 202c is larger than the diameter of the sleeve 100, so that when the first conical surface 202b contacts the sleeve 100, the first conical surface 202b expands the sleeve 100, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the round rod 202a and the sleeve 100, so as to ensure that the round rod 202a will not accidentally slip out of the sleeve 100 when using the hook 201.
[0044] Example 3
[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the hook 201 is composed of a straight hook 201a, a transition hook 201b, and a pull hook 201c that are fixedly connected in sequence. The connector 202 is fixed to one end of the straight hook 201a, and the hemispherical protrusion is provided at the end of the pull hook 201c. The two ends of the transition hook 201b are designed to have a smooth transition with the straight hook 201a and the pull hook 201c respectively, so as to avoid scratching human tissue during the winding process.
[0046] The smooth transition between the transition hook 201b and the straight hook 201a and pull hook 201c effectively eliminates the sharp edges at the bend of the hook 201, giving the overall structure a smooth curved shape. This avoids the risk of scratching human tissue during the surgical suture removal process. In addition, the pull hook 201c has a U-shaped curved structure, and the relative width of its opening is smaller than the inner diameter of the thread hole 303, ensuring that the pull hook 201c can pass smoothly through the thread hole 303 of the sleeve 301.
[0047] Example 4
[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 This is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the outer surface of the sleeve 301 is provided with a ring of anti-slip groove 304 so that the sleeve 301 can be installed on the sleeve 100. The bottom edge of the thread hole 303 is provided with a ring of smooth chamfer so that the pull hook 201 of the line hook 201 can pass through the thread hole 303 into the sleeve 100.
[0049] The anti-slip groove 304 is used to increase the friction between the hand and the sleeve 301 so that the person can tightly fit the sleeve 301 onto the end of the sleeve 100. The thread hole 303 has an outwardly expanding rounded corner near the opening edge of the hook 201c. When the hook 201 pulls the suture through the thread hole 303, the rounded corner can prevent the end of the hook 201c from getting stuck at the end of the sleeve 301 and provide a smooth guide for the hook 201c to enter the sleeve 100, ensuring that the threading process is smooth and unobstructed.
[0050] In addition, a groove 101 is formed on the inner ring of the sleeve 100, and the protruding ring 302 inside the sleeve head 301 is engaged in the groove 101 to form a detachable fixed connection structure.
[0051] When the raised ring 302 slides into the slot 101, the sleeve 301 is limited by the slot 101, making it difficult to slide on the sleeve 100, thereby further improving the stability of the sleeve 301.
[0052] It should be noted that the bottom and side of the raised ring 302 inside the sleeve 301 are respectively provided with a flat surface 305 and a slope 306. The bottom and inner wall of the slot 101 are provided with matching flat surfaces 305 and slopes 306. The slot 101 and the flat surface 305 and slope 306 of the raised ring 302 are in contact with each other. The surface-to-surface cooperation enhances the stability and anti-detachment ability of the connection between the sleeve 301 and the sleeve 100.
[0053] When the sheath 301 is slidably inserted into the cannula 100, the tapered inclined surface 306 facilitates the sliding of the sheath 301 on the cannula 100. When the raised ring 302 slides into the slot 101, the annular plane of the raised ring 302 contacts the annular plane of the slot 101, so that the surfaces abut against each other, thereby firmly fixing the sheath 301 on the cannula 100. This ensures that the sheath 301 will not loosen or fall off under external force pulling or collision during the operation, providing a reliable guarantee for the safety of the operation.
[0054] During use, when assembling, first slide the sleeve 301 onto the end of the sleeve 100. When the protruding ring 302 slides into the slot 101, the annular plane of the protruding ring 302 contacts the annular plane of the slot 101, thereby firmly fixing the sleeve 301 onto the sleeve 100. Then, pass the wire hook 201 through the wire hole 303 of the sleeve 100 and the sleeve 301 in sequence. Then, insert the round rod 202a into the inner cavity of one end of the sleeve 100. The first conical surface 202b is used to quickly insert the round rod 202a into the sleeve 100, while the second conical surface 202c enlarges the sleeve 100, thereby ensuring that the round rod 202a will not slip out of the sleeve 100.
[0055] When picking up the suture, use the hook 201c to hold the suture, and then pull the pull ring 203. The anti-slip groove 204 on the surface of the pull ring 203 can increase the friction between the hand and the pull ring 203. Then, pull the suture hook 201 through the pull ring 203 to pull the suture through the thread hole 303 and the cannula 100 in sequence. The hemispherical smooth protrusion at the end of the hook 201c can effectively eliminate the risk of sharp edges cutting the tissue. After the suture is brought out from the cannula 100, use hemostatic forceps to clamp any part of the cannula 100 to fix the suture. Then, after the operation, loosen the hemostatic forceps and tie the suture.
[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
