Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of surgical auxiliary instruments, specifically a portable ultrasonic cleaning device used in surgery. Background Technology

[0002] During laparoscopic surgery, tissue may adhere to the tip of the laparoscopic forceps. In this case, the tip of the forceps needs to be cleaned. However, current technology can only remove the tissue by the surgeon wiping it manually, which cannot achieve the required thorough cleaning.

[0003] While hospitals currently possess large-scale ultrasonic cleaning equipment, this equipment is typically used for post-operative ultrasonic cleaning of surgical instruments during recovery. It cannot be applied to the ultrasonic cleaning of surgical forceps during the surgical procedure. Therefore, in clinical surgery, especially endoscopic surgery, there is a strong demand for a medical cleaning device capable of rapidly ultrasonically cleaning the tips of various rod-shaped surgical instruments with different inner diameters during the procedure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art: to provide a portable ultrasonic cleaning device for use in surgery, which can be placed on the operating table, so that the surgeon can perform ultrasonic cleaning on the tip of the forceps during the operation, thereby improving the intraoperative cleaning effect of the tip of the laparoscopic forceps.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a portable ultrasonic cleaning device for use in surgery, comprising a bottom shell, an ultrasonic water tank with an upward-facing opening on the bottom shell, an ultrasonic generator for generating ultrasonic waves inside the bottom shell, a top cover covering the ultrasonic water tank on the bottom shell, a through hole for the tip of surgical forceps to pass through on the top cover, and a bracket outside the bottom shell for supporting the shaft portion of the surgical forceps located outside the top cover.

[0006] If there is any residue on the tip of the surgical forceps during the operation, the surgeon only needs to remove the tip of the forceps from the surgical area, then insert the tip of the forceps into the through hole, and finally immerse it in the cleaning water in the ultrasonic water tank. As the ultrasonic generator is powered on, the ultrasonic waves it generates can perform ultrasonic cleaning on the tip of the surgical forceps.

[0007] According to one example of this invention, the top cover is made of a transparent material. The transparent top cover allows the surgeon to clearly see the position of the tip of the surgical forceps within the ultrasonic water bath.

[0008] According to one example of this utility model, there are multiple through holes.

[0009] According to one example of this utility model, there are two through holes, with diameters of 5cm and 10cm respectively. The two different through hole diameters allow surgical forceps of different sizes to pass through.

[0010] According to one example of this utility model, there are two through holes, each with a diameter of 10 cm. A sleeve for reducing the diameter of the through hole is nested within each through hole, and the sleeve has a small hole for the tip of the surgical forceps to pass through. The through hole diameter can be changed by using the sleeve, allowing the through hole to meet the ultrasonic requirements of surgical forceps of different sizes.

[0011] According to one example of the present invention, the support includes a horizontal bar and a vertical bar. One end of the horizontal bar is inserted into a hole at the bottom of the bottom shell in a horizontal direction. The lower end of the vertical bar is fixedly connected to the other end of the horizontal bar. The upper end of the vertical bar is provided with a forked bar for supporting the shaft of the surgical forceps. The horizontal bar drives the vertical bar to move closer to or away from the bottom shell.

[0012] According to one example of this utility model, the bottom shell is provided with an inner support member for supporting the surgical forceps so that the tip of the forceps is suspended in the ultrasonic water bath. The inner support member allows a gap to be maintained between the tip of the surgical forceps and the bottom of the bath when the tip of the forceps is immersed in the cleaning water, thus preventing hard contact between the tip of the forceps and the bottom of the ultrasonic water bath.

[0013] According to one example of the present invention, the inner support includes a base resting on the bottom of an ultrasonic water tank, and a silicone ball for supporting surgical forceps is provided on the base.

[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: First, the tip of the surgical forceps can pass through the through hole and be immersed in the cleaning water of the ultrasonic water tank. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generator can perform ultrasonic cleaning on the tip of the surgical forceps, thereby achieving cleaning of the surgical forceps during the operation. Second, there are two through holes, which can accommodate multiple surgical forceps. Furthermore, by changing the diameter of the through holes, surgical forceps of different sizes can be ultrasonically cleaned through the device. Finally, the built-in internal support raises the tip of the surgical forceps, so that there is a gap between the tip of the surgical forceps and the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank during the ultrasonic cleaning process, avoiding hard contact between the tip of the surgical forceps and the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank.

[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0023] The portable ultrasonic cleaning device used in surgery according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model provides a portable ultrasonic cleaning device for use in surgery, as shown in the figure. It includes a generally square base shell 1, with a concave ultrasonic water tank 2 on the top of the base shell 1. The ultrasonic water tank 2 is a groove with the opening facing upward. An ultrasonic generator 3 for generating ultrasonic waves is provided inside the base shell 1. A top cover 4 is provided on the base shell 1 to cover the ultrasonic water tank 2. The top cover 4 has a through hole 4.1 for the front end of the surgical forceps 8 to pass through. A bracket 5 is provided outside the base shell 1 to support the rod part of the surgical forceps 8 located outside the top cover 4.

[0025] In the field of ultrasonic cleaning, the ultrasonic generator 3 used to generate ultrasonic waves is an existing conventional device. Its working principle is that the ultrasonic device generates ultrasonic waves after being powered on, so that the ultrasonic waves act on the water in the water tank to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the objects to be cleaned in the water.

[0026] In this embodiment, surgical forceps 8 refers to a general term for various rod-shaped surgical instruments used in endoscopic surgery. The rear end of such surgical forceps 8 is the hand-held end with an operating handle, and the front end of surgical forceps 8 is the functional end. The surgeon grasps the operating handle at the rear end of the surgical forceps 8. When the front end of the surgical forceps 8 needs to be cleaned during the operation, the surgeon only needs to pull the front end of the surgical forceps 8 away from the surgical area and then insert it through the through hole 4.1 on the ultrasonic cleaning device. After the front end of the surgical forceps 8 passes through the through hole 4.1, it extends into the ultrasonic water tank 2 and is immersed in the cleaning water of the ultrasonic water tank 2. The ultrasonic generator 3 generates ultrasonic waves to ultrasonically clean the front end of the surgical forceps 8 in the cleaning water.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment as described above, the top cover 4 is made of a transparent material. Specifically, the top cover 4 is made of a transparent plastic material.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment as described above, there are multiple through holes 4.1.

[0029] One preferred example: There are two through holes 4.1, and the diameters of the two through holes 4.1 are 5cm and 10cm respectively.

[0030] Preferred Example 2: There are two through holes 4.1, and the diameter of both through holes 4.1 is 10cm. A sleeve 6 for reducing the diameter of the through hole 4.1 is nested on the through hole 4.1. The sleeve 6 has a small hole for the front end of the surgical forceps 8 to pass through.

[0031] Through holes 4.1 of different diameters can accommodate surgical forceps 8 of different sizes. In particular, by setting the hole sleeve 6, the through holes 4.1 of larger diameters can also be used for surgical forceps 8 of smaller diameters.

[0032] Furthermore, two through holes 4.1 are respectively provided on both sides of the top cover 4 along the length direction, which is... Figure 3 The left and right directions in the middle.

[0033] In this embodiment, the two through holes 4.1 can accommodate two surgical forceps 8, allowing the two surgical forceps 8 to be used alternately.

[0034] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, the support 5 includes a horizontal bar 5.1 and a vertical bar 5.2. The bottom of the base shell 1 has an insertion hole arranged along the length direction. One end of the horizontal bar 5.1 is inserted into the insertion hole at the bottom of the base shell 1 so that the horizontal bar 5.1 can extend and retract relative to the base shell 1 along the length direction. The other end of the horizontal bar 5.1 is exposed outside the base shell 1. The lower end of the vertical bar 5.2 is fixedly connected to the exposed end of the horizontal bar 5.1. The vertical bar 5.2 is arranged vertically. The upper end of the vertical bar 5.2 is provided with a forked bar 5.3 for supporting the shaft of the surgical forceps 8. As the horizontal bar 5.1 extends and retracts relative to the base shell 1, the horizontal bar 5.1 drives the vertical bar 5.2 to move closer to or away from the base shell 1 along the length direction.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the height of the forked rod 5.3 is higher than the height of the corresponding through hole 4.1, so that the surgical forceps 8 can pass through the through hole 4.1 at an angle and be inserted obliquely into the ultrasonic water tank 2.

[0036] To prevent the front end of the surgical forceps 8 from contacting the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank 2, the improvement in this embodiment is that the bottom shell 1 is provided with an inner support member 7 for supporting the surgical forceps 8 so that the front end of the surgical forceps 8 is suspended in the ultrasonic water tank 2.

[0037] Specifically, the inner support 7 includes a base 7.1 resting on the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank 2, and a silicone ball 7.2 for supporting the surgical forceps 8 is provided on the base 7.1. The base 7.1 is placed inside the ultrasonic water tank 2, and the shaft portion of the surgical forceps 8 near the front end rests on the silicone ball 7.2, thereby leaving a gap between the front end of the surgical forceps 8 and the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank 2.

[0038] Furthermore, the base 7.1 has a suction cup at its bottom, which attaches the base 7.1 to the bottom of the ultrasonic water tank 2.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the bottom shell 1 is provided with a display screen 9, and the bottom shell 1 is provided with a controller and a battery for providing power. The display screen 9, the ultrasonic generator 3 and the battery are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications will undoubtedly be apparent after reading the above description. Therefore, the appended claims should be considered as covering all changes and modifications that encompass the true intent and scope of this utility model. Any and all equivalent scope and content within the scope of the claims should be considered as still falling within the intent and scope of this utility model.
