Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, specifically to a novel shoulder cuff suture gun. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the rotator cuff is an important structure of the soft tissues near the shoulder joint. It's called the rotator cuff because it acts like a sleeve around the shoulder joint, allowing for free movement; therefore, the rotator cuff always maintains high tension. Due to this high tension, once the rotator cuff is damaged, it becomes a tear rather than a fissure, making it difficult to heal on its own. With normal shoulder joint activity, this tear will widen, so arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery is necessary as soon as possible for rotator cuff injuries. Existing rotator cuff repair instruments include rotator cuff repair guns, rotator cuff repair hooks, and rotator cuff repair trowels, among others. The rotator cuff repair gun is undoubtedly the simplest, fastest, and most convenient tool. However, the suture pusher inside the rotator cuff repair gun is prone to breakage during suturing, increasing surgical risks; furthermore, the suture pusher is a disposable consumable, significantly increasing surgical costs. Therefore, we have designed a new type of rotator cuff repair gun that retains the advantages of traditional repair guns while solving the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a novel shoulder and sleeve sewing gun.
[0004] This utility model includes a gun barrel and a threaded jaw.
[0005] The barrel has a threading hole, the barrel head has a stitching groove, the bottom of the stitching groove has a shrapnel, the threading jaw has a threading chamber, the threading jaw is installed on the barrel head, the threading chamber is connected to the threading hole, and the upper jaw is driven to rotate upward or downward by a rotary drive mechanism. When the upper jaw rotates downward, it penetrates the shoulder sleeve, pushes open the shrapnel, and sends out the stitching thread.
[0006] The barrel has a push rod hole, and a gear push rod is installed in the push rod hole. The breech of the barrel is equipped with a scissor push mechanism, which is formed by hinged finger ring fixing part and finger ring moving part. The top of the finger ring fixing part is equipped with a sleeve, and the breech of the barrel is installed in the sleeve. The top of the finger ring moving part has a threading hole and a push rod groove. One end of the gear push rod is movably installed in the push rod groove, and the other end of the gear push rod is equipped with a rack. The bottom of the threading jaw is equipped with a gear that meshes with the rack. The finger ring moving part moves back and forth in the push rod hole through the gear push rod. The rack drives the gear to rotate forward or backward, causing the threading jaw to rotate upward or downward.
[0007] One end of the gear push rod has a rotation limit groove, and a pin is provided in the push rod groove of the finger ring movable part. The pin is located in the rotation limit groove.
[0008] The top of the barrel has a pusher groove that connects to the wire hole.
[0009] The piercing upper jaw is a hook-shaped piercing upper jaw with a piercing oblique opening at its head.
[0010] A wire guard spring is installed at the connection between the wire inlet at the tail of the threading jaw and the threading hole.
[0011] The bottom of the suture groove has a threading opening, and one end of the spring is installed at the bottom of the suture groove on one side of the threading opening, with the spring covering the threading opening.
[0012] The bottom of the suture groove is provided with a closed protrusion, and a sealed groove is opened on the closed protrusion. The end of the spring is provided with a serrated protrusion, and the end of the spring is located in the sealed groove.
[0013] The end of the suture groove is provided with serrated anti-slip protrusions.
[0014] The threaded jaw is movably mounted on the head of the barrel via a pin.
[0015] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. By using the palate to guide the suture from above, the suture penetrates the rotator cuff tissue, avoiding the breakage of the push needle in traditional rotator cuff suture guns and reducing surgical risks.
[0017] 2. Compared to traditional rotator cuff suture guns, it does not require the use of disposable suture pushers, thus reducing surgical costs.
[0018] 3. It retains the usage habits of similar rotator cuff sewing guns. Compared with instruments such as rotator cuff sewing hooks and rotator cuff punches, which require more experience in rotator cuff sewing, this new sewing gun is easier for beginners to use. Attached Figure Description
