Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical knives, and in particular to surgical knives with a knife holder. Background Technology
[0002] During surgery, surgical blades are passed between nurses and doctors. For example, the blade needs to be handed to the doctor before surgery, returned to the nurse after use, and collected as medical waste afterward. This entire process easily leads to injuries from surgical blades. While the main solution lies in standardizing operating procedures, the fact that the blade is exposed and handled in this way still poses a significant safety hazard to medical staff. Current solutions, such as the surgical blade disclosed in patent document CN103961161A, which uses a sheathed scalpel, do not completely solve the problem. The sheath needs to be manually extended to protect the blade, which requires medical staff to perform an action. Failure to extend the sheath or forgetting to do so can still easily result in injury. The aforementioned problems mainly stem from improper operation or lack of attention by medical staff. Therefore, the root cause lies in how to address the issue of surgical blade injuries caused by improper operation by medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a surgical knife with a blade holder, which can automatically close relative to the blade after the handle and blade are separated, forming a protection for the blade and preventing the blade from causing injury to the person.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a surgical knife with a blade case, including a blade, a blade case and a handle;
[0005] The tail section of the blade is hinged to the tail end of the blade holder;
[0006] An elastic element is provided between the blade and the blade box. The elastic element drives the blade and the blade box to swing and close. During the closing process, the cutting edge of the blade engages with the inside of the blade box from the opening of the blade box.
[0007] The tail end of the blade is detachably fixed to the front end of the handle. A locking structure is provided between the handle and the magazine. After the blade is unfolded relative to the magazine, it is fixed to the handle by the locking structure.
[0008] When using, fix the end of the blade to the handle, then open the blade magazine relative to the blade and fix the blade magazine to the guide rod through the locking mechanism. At this point, it can be used like a regular scalpel. When finished using, operate the locking mechanism to release the blade magazine. Under the action of the elastic element, the blade magazine will automatically close relative to the blade, thus protecting the blade. At this point, remove the blade from the handle. Due to the protection of the blade magazine, the blade will not injure anyone.
[0009] Preferably, the blade holder includes two blades, the front ends of which are fixed to the sides of a clamping plate. The blade is located between the two blades, and a pivot is provided at the tail end of the blade. Both ends of the pivot are fixed to the blades. This provides good protection for the blade.
[0010] Preferably, the blade holder is made of a single piece of sheet metal. This makes the structure more stable and durable.
[0011] Preferably, the blade holder is a one-piece molded plastic structure. This makes the structure more stable and durable.
[0012] Preferably, rubber protective pads are provided on the inner front sides of the two blades. These rubber protective pads prevent the blade edges from directly contacting the blade holder.
[0013] Preferably, the locking structure includes a limiting protrusion and an annular groove. The limiting protrusion is located on the front end of the blade magazine away from the magazine opening, and the annular groove is located on the front section of the blade handle, facing forward. The limiting protrusion is engaged within the annular groove. When the blade magazine is unfolded relative to the blade, the front end of the blade magazine swings backward against the side wall of the blade handle. At this time, the blade handle moves forward against the blade, and the annular groove engages with the limiting protrusion to limit the blade magazine and prevent it from falling off.
[0014] Preferably, the annular groove is screwed into the tail end of the blade. This allows for better axial repositioning of the tool holder relative to the blade, thereby enabling the annular groove to engage with the limiting protrusion.
[0015] Preferably, the elastic element is a torsion spring located at the hinge. This occupies less space and allows for a larger angle of swing of the tool magazine.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This solution enables the blade holder to automatically close relative to the blade after the handle and blade are separated, thus protecting the blade and preventing injury to the user. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a surgical knife with a sheath includes a blade 1, a sheath 3, and a handle 4. The tail end of the blade 1 is hinged to the tail end of the sheath 3. An elastic element is provided between the blade 1 and the sheath 3, which drives the blade 1 and the sheath 3 to swing and close. During the closing process, the cutting edge of the blade 1 engages with the opening of the sheath 3 and enters the sheath. The tail end of the blade 1 is detachably fixed to the front end of the handle 4. A locking structure is provided between the handle 4 and the sheath 3. After the blade 1 is unfolded relative to the sheath 3, it is fixed to the handle 4 by the locking structure. In this embodiment, a blade shank 2 is provided at the tail end of the blade 1, and the blade shank 2 is connected to the handle 4.
[0026] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in use, the tail end of blade 1 is fixed to the handle 4, then the blade magazine 3 is opened relative to blade 1, and the blade magazine 3 is fixed to the guide rod by the locking mechanism. At this point, it can be used like a regular scalpel. Figure 1As shown, when the use is finished, the locking mechanism is operated to release the lock on the blade magazine 3. Under the action of the elastic element, the blade magazine 3 will automatically close relative to the blade 1, thereby protecting the blade 1. At this time, the blade 1 can be removed from the handle 4. Due to the protection of the blade magazine 3, the blade 1 will not hurt people.
[0027] The blade holder 3 includes two blades, the front ends of which are fixed to the sides of the clamping plate 5.
