Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a non-invasive calcaneal reduction clamp. Background Technology
[0002] Calcaneal fracture reduction clamp: Used during the reduction of calcaneal fractures to apply appropriate force to restore the bone to the correct position, thereby promoting fracture fixation and healing.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN206995304U discloses a calcaneal fracture reduction clamp, which has the following technical features: it includes two arc-shaped clamping plates and a clamping rod. The arc-shaped clamping plates are arranged opposite each other with their arc edges facing outwards. A universal joint is provided at the top of the arc-shaped clamping plate, and a locking bolt is provided through the tail of the universal joint. The tail of the universal joint is connected to the clamping rod. The clamping rod is divided into a clamping end and a hand-held end. The clamping end has an arc-shaped structure, and its end is hinged to a hinge. The hand-held end of the clamping rod is connected to the clamping end at the hinge. The hand-held end has an arc-shaped curved structure, and its arc direction is opposite to that of the clamping end.
[0004] Furthermore, Chinese patent CN214414901U also discloses a calcaneal reduction forceps, which has the following technical features: a first forceps body and a second forceps body, the first forceps body and the second forceps body are rotatably connected by a pin shaft, the head of the first forceps body has a threaded groove, a threaded rod is threadedly sleeved in the threaded groove, an arm is fixed to the threaded rod, an elliptical clamp is fixed to the head of the arm, a mounting base is rotatably mounted on the side of the first forceps body, a motor is mounted on the side of the mounting base, the output shaft of the motor is connected to a lead screw, a threaded sleeve is threadedly sleeved on the lead screw, the threaded sleeve is rotatably mounted on the second forceps body, and a conical clamp is fixed to the head of the second forceps body.

[0026] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. This utility model increases the contact area between the clamping surface and the skin by setting up a first clamping structure and a second clamping structure with an arc-shaped plate structure having a high temperature resistance and a soft clamping surface, which makes the clamping surface fit the skin better, improves the clamping stability of the calcaneus, and also protects the patient's skin.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0037] It should be noted that, without alteration, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0038] Example 1: As Figures 1-2 As shown, the preferred solution of the non-invasive calcaneal reduction forceps provided in this embodiment includes a first support part 1, one end of which is movably connected to a first clamping structure 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to a first gripping structure 3; a second support part 4, which is hinged to the first support part 1, and one end of which is movably connected to a second clamping structure 5 near the first clamping structure 2, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a second gripping structure 6; and a locking structure 7, which is adjustablely connected to the first support part 1 and the second support part 4.
[0039] Both the first clamping structure 2 and the second clamping structure 5 are hollow structures and both have a high-temperature resistant, soft clamping surface 8. This design allows the clamping surface 8 to fit the skin better, improve the clamping stability of the calcaneus, and also protect the patient's skin.
[0040] Both the first clamping structure 2 and the second clamping structure 5 are arc-shaped plate structures, and the first clamping structure 2 is longer than the second clamping structure 5. The arc-shaped clamping plate structure increases the contact area with the skin and can fit the patient's skin better. The design of one long and one short means that the long clamping structure is mainly used to position the repositioning forceps on the patient's foot, while the short clamping plate is mainly used for repositioning and correction.
[0041] Universal joints 9 are connected between the first clamping structure 2 and the first support part 1, as well as between the second clamping structure 5 and the second support part 4; the universal joints 9 can flexibly change the clamping angle, improve the stability of clamping and the convenience of clamping operation.
[0042] The locking structure 7 includes a toothed plate 71 and a positioning plate 72. Both the toothed plate 71 and the positioning plate 72 are arc-shaped plate structures with the hinge point of the first support part 1 and the second support part 4 as the center. One end of the toothed plate 71 is fixedly connected to the first support part 1, and the other end extends toward the second support part 4. One end of the positioning plate 72 is fixedly connected to the second support part 4, and the other end extends toward the first support part 1. The toothed plate 71 has a plurality of one-way teeth 711 near the positioning plate 72, and the positioning plate 72 has at least one one-way locking tooth 721 near the toothed plate 71. The one-way locking tooth 721 can be adjusted to engage with any one-way tooth 711, so that the reduction forceps can be fixed after the calcaneus is reduced, allowing the doctor to free up his hands to perform other operations.
[0043] Both the first gripping structure 3 and the second gripping structure 6 are circular in shape and ergonomically designed to facilitate the insertion of the doctor's fingers to control the repositioning forceps during clamping operations.
[0044] Example 2: Figures 3-4 As shown, the preferred solution of another non-invasive calcaneal reduction clamp provided in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:
[0045] The first support part 1 is fixedly connected to a hollow cylinder 10. The inner cavity of the cylinder 10 can be filled with a fluid medium such as gas or liquid. A piston rod 11 is inserted into the inner cavity of the cylinder 10. The piston rod 11 moves against the inner wall of the cylinder 10. The other end of the piston rod 11 is fixedly connected to the second support part 4. The piston movement between the piston rod 11 and the cylinder 10 is realized by the clamping movement of the reset clamp. No additional electrical structure is required. The design is ingenious, simple and practical.
[0046] The first support part 1 has a first channel 12, and a first connecting pipe 14 connects the first channel 12 and the cylinder 10; the second support part 4 has a second channel 13, and a second connecting pipe 15 connects the first channel 12 and the second channel 13. The first clamping structure 2 is provided with a hollow first medium storage component 16, and a third connecting pipe 18 connects the first medium storage component 16 and the first channel 12; the second clamping structure 5 is provided with a hollow second medium storage component 17, and a fourth connecting pipe 19 connects the second medium storage component 17 and the second channel 13. During the repositioning and fixing operation, the first support part 1 and the second support part 4 move towards each other, and the piston rod 11 pushes the medium in the cylinder 10 out. One path passes through the first connecting pipe 14, the first channel 12, and the third connecting pipe 18 to the first medium storage unit 16, filling the first medium storage unit 16 completely. The other path passes through the first connecting pipe 14, the first channel 12, the second connecting pipe 15, the second channel 13, and the third connecting pipe 18 to the second medium storage unit 17, filling the second medium storage unit 17 completely. The full first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 can fit the skin more closely, providing more stable and comfortable support. Conversely, when the repositioning forceps need to be removed after the repositioning is completed, the first support part 1 and the second support part 4 move away from each other, and the piston rod 11 draws the medium in the first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 back into the cylinder 10.
[0047] Both the first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 are elastic, which can ensure that the first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 have sufficient fullness after being filled with medium.
[0048] Working principle: The doctor first controls the first gripping structure 3 and the second gripping structure 6, and uses the longer first clamping structure 2 to position the reduction forceps on the patient's fractured foot. Then, the shorter second clamping structure 5 is used for reduction and correction. During the reduction process, when the first gripping structure 3 and the second gripping structure 6 approach each other, the first support part 1 and the second support part 4 move towards each other. The piston rod 11 pushes out the medium in the cylinder 10. One path passes through the first connecting tube 14, the first channel 12, and the third connecting tube 18 to the first medium storage unit 16, filling the first medium storage unit 16 completely. The other path passes through the first connecting tube 14, the first channel 12, the second connecting tube 15, the second channel 13, and the third connecting tube 18 to the second medium storage unit 17, filling the second medium storage unit 17 completely. The full first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 can fit the skin more closely, providing more stable and comfortable support.
[0049] After repositioning, the one-way locking tooth 721 can be adjusted to engage with any one-way tooth 711, thereby fixing the repositioning forceps and freeing the doctor's hands to perform other operations. When the repositioning forceps need to be removed after repositioning, the tooth plate 71 and the positioning plate 72 are first slightly misaligned, the one-way locking tooth 721 and the one-way tooth 711 disengage, the first support part 1 and the second support part 4 move in opposite directions, and the piston rod 11 draws the medium in the first medium storage unit 16 and the second medium storage unit 17 back into the cylinder 10, and the first clamping structure 2 and the second clamping structure 5 no longer clamp the patient's foot.
[0050] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
