Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suture technology, specifically to a suture capturing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of minimally invasive surgery, especially in anatomically limited areas involving the deep pelvic cavity, such as sphincter-preserving surgery for low rectal cancer, digestive tract lumens such as intestinal anastomosis, and pelvic floor reconstruction such as organ suspension, achieving stable, precise, and efficient suturing has always been a major technical challenge. These surgical scenarios typically have the following characteristics:

[0003] In cases where the space is small and deep, the surgical field of vision is severely limited or even impossible to see directly (such as transanal, transoral or deep small incision surgery), and traditional suturing instruments are difficult to deploy and operate effectively.

[0004] The suturing direction is special, often requiring the instruments to be perpendicular to the pre-suture line for puncture and suturing, which places extremely high demands on the stability and controllability of the instruments.

[0005] In situations where direct visualization is impossible or the field of vision is poor, accurately capturing sutures and completing knotting or securing steps is extremely difficult and time-consuming, easily leading to complications such as suture failure, tissue damage, bleeding, or anastomotic leakage.

[0006] Traditional needle holders and suture needles are difficult to maneuver flexibly and position precisely in deep and narrow spaces. In particular, it is difficult to achieve stable puncture and needle movement with the instrument rod perpendicular to the suture surface. Suture capture and knotting require additional instrument assistance, such as hook needles and grasping forceps. The steps are cumbersome, increasing operation time and risks. When additional reinforcement of sutures is required, such as to prevent anastomotic leakage, manage bleeding points, or perform suspension fixation, there is a lack of effective and integrated suture capture mechanisms. They are difficult to adapt to the vertical suturing needs in narrow lumens and are difficult to reliably "grab" and guide sutures without direct vision. Utility Model Content

[0034] The movement track of the puncture end of the suture needle 3 is an arc movement track. When the puncture end of the suture needle 3 moves to the termination position, its surface fits with the hook of the elastic hook piece 72.

[0035] The elastic hook piece 72 and the tab 71 are made of stainless steel sheets; a cavity is provided inside the suture needle 3.

[0036] A suture capture device includes a suture capture end head, and further includes an installation rod 1 connected to the bottom of the end body;

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , a transmission component 8 is provided on the inner wall of the installation rod 1, and the transmission component 8 is connected to one end of the suture needle 3. A driving rod 15 is installed at the end of the installation rod 1 far from the end head, and one end of the driving rod 15 is connected to one end of the transmission component 8.

[0038] A positioning tube 10 is connected to the inner wall of the installation rod 1, a return spring 11 is connected to the inner wall of the positioning tube 10, one end of the return spring 11 is connected to one end of the driving rod 15, a support tube 12 is connected to the inner wall of the positioning tube 10, the return spring 11 is sleeved on the surface of the support tube 12. When the driving rod 15 is pushed, the return spring 11 will be compressed. When the driving rod 15 is released, the return spring 11 tends to stretch back, pushing the driving rod 15 to reset, and further enabling the driving rod 15 to drive the suture needle 3 to reset through the transmission component 8.

[0039] The transmission assembly 8 includes a flexible push rod 81 and a transmission rod 82 installed inside the mounting rod 1. One end of the flexible push rod 81 is connected to one end of the suture needle 3, and the other end of the flexible push rod 81 is connected to one end of the transmission rod 82. The end body 2 is provided with a guide slide 13 and an entry channel 14. The arc-shaped guide groove 4 is connected to the guide slide 13, and the guide slide 13 is connected to the entry channel 14. The flexible push rod 81 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide slide 13, and one end of the transmission rod 82 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the entry channel 14. The other end of the transmission rod 82 passes through the positioning tube 10 and the support tube 12 in sequence and is connected to one end of the drive rod 15. One end of the drive rod 15 extends to the outside of the mounting rod 1. The drive rod 15 drives the transmission rod 82 to move, and the transmission rod 82 drives the flexible push rod 81 to move, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the suture needle 3.

The drive rod 15 is pushed, which drives the transmission rod 82 to move. The transmission rod 82 drives the flexible push rod 81 to move. One end of the flexible push rod 81 pushes the suture needle 3 to move, so that the suture needle 3 carries the suture to puncture human tissue. Because the suture needle 3 is engaged in the suture groove 5, the suture continues to follow the movement of the suture needle 3. The suture needle 3 continues to move and inserts into the middle through-hole of the suture capture device 7 until the termination position. The hook head of the elastic hook 72 enters the hook groove 6 and passes over the suture. When the suture needle 3 is withdrawn, the hook head of the elastic hook 72 hooks the suture and limits the suture, so that the suture stays on the side of the hook head of the elastic hook 72, preventing the suture from following the suture needle 3 out of the needle hole, thus completing the suturing operation.
