Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical auxiliary instruments, specifically to a scalp clamp holder. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, almost all neurosurgical craniotomies require incision of the scalp. The scalp has a very rich blood supply, necessitating the use of scalp clips (see attached diagram for the structure of scalp clips). Figure 7 To stop bleeding, scalp clamps need to be opened by inserting scalp clamp forceps into the side opening and then clamped onto the scalp.
[0003] During craniotomy, multiple scalp clips are typically used. When used in conjunction with scalp clip forceps, the surgeon can only take one clip at a time, which is slow, time-consuming, and laborious. This prolongs the operation time, increases bleeding, and raises the risk of infection. Furthermore, the scalp clip forceps require a certain amount of tension to open the clips, so there is a risk of the clips breaking off and falling, resulting in wasted clips, and fallen clips are difficult to find.

[0027] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. The content of the utility model will be further explained below in conjunction with the drawings:
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 7 The commonly used scalp clip 4 is a cylindrical structure with a toothed clamping slit 42 on the front and a side opening 41 on the rear.
[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 ,2 3. A scalp clip holder, comprising a storage compartment 1, a cover assembly 2, an elastic baffle 3, a scalp clip 4, and a spreading assembly 5.
[0031] The clip storage compartment 1 is made of transparent material, allowing easy observation of its interior. Inside the compartment 1 is a through-cavity 11, with multiple scalp clips 4 arranged end-to-end within it. The inner diameter of the compartment 11 matches the outer diameter of the scalp clips 4 (i.e., the width of the compartment 11 is slightly larger than the width of the scalp clips 4, and the height of the compartment 11 is slightly larger than the height of the scalp clips 4), ensuring that the scalp clips 4 can only move back and forth along the compartment 11. Two elastic baffles 3 are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the front end of the compartment 1, respectively, and are angled towards each other, forming a funnel shape to prevent the scalp clips 4 at the front from falling. The elastic baffles 3 are made of rubber or silicone.
[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 , 4 The cover assembly 2 includes a rear cover 21, springs 22, and a push plate 23. Two springs 22 are fixedly connected between the push plate 23 and the rear cover 21. The push plate 23 abuts against the rear side of the scalp clip 4 located at the rear end of the storage cavity 11, and the side of the push plate 23 facing the scalp clip 4 is curved. The springs 22 are initially in a stretched state. The springs 22 push the scalp clip 4 towards the front end of the storage cavity 11 through the rebound force of the springs 22. The foremost scalp clip 4 is blocked by two elastic baffles 3.
[0033] Two hooks 24 are symmetrically fixed to the edge of the back cover 21, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 2 , 3 Two fastening blocks 14 are symmetrically fixed on the outer surface of the rear end of the storage compartment 1. The cross section of the fastening block 14 is a right triangle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle faces the rear end of the storage compartment 1. The hook 24 is matched and fastened to the fastening block 14 to achieve a fixed connection between the rear cover 21 and the storage compartment 1.
[0034] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-3 5-6, the expansion assembly 5 includes two expansion plates 52 and a mounting component 51. The mounting component 51 includes a slider 511, a hinge seat 512, a hinge shaft 513 and a connecting frame 514.
[0035] The storage compartment 1 has a sliding groove 12 and a through groove 13 on both the upper and lower front sides, with the through groove 13 located in front of the sliding groove 12. The sliders 511 have a "convex" cross-section and are fitted together in the sliding groove 12, allowing them to slide back and forth along the groove 12. Two hinge seats 512 are fixedly mounted at a distance on the top surface of each slider 511, and a hinge shaft 513 is fixed between the two hinge seats 512.
[0036] The expansion plate 52 includes a pressing part and an expansion part. A hinge hole 521 is provided at the connection between the pressing part and the expansion part. The front end of the expansion part is hook-shaped. The expansion plate 52 is hinged to the hinge shaft 513 through the hinge hole 521. The connecting frame 514 is fixedly connected between two hinge seats 512 on the same side, which can realize the synchronous back and forth sliding of the two sliders 511. At the same time, the connecting frame 514 is located on the outside of the storage compartment 1.
[0037] By sliding the two sliders 511 forward, the front end of the expansion plate 52 can extend into the storage cavity 11 through the through groove 13 and extend into the scalp clip 4 at the front end through the side opening 41; pressing down the lower part of the expansion plate 52 raises the expansion part, thereby opening the clamping seam 42 on the front side of the scalp clip 4, making it easier for the doctor to clamp the scalp clip 4 at the front end onto the scalp.
[0038] The inventors discovered that, since the spreading portion of the spreading plate 52 extends into the storage cavity 11, if the spreading portion of the spreading plate 52 is not removed from the storage cavity 11 after the foremost scalp clip 4 is pulled out, it will affect the subsequent advancement of the scalp clip 4 to the target position at the front. Furthermore, to ensure that the spreading plate 52 automatically moves back into place, refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 1 The scalp clamp holder also includes an elastic element 6. A first connector 15 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the left and right sides of the storage compartment 1. The first connector 15 is located behind the slide groove 12. A second connector 515 is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the connecting frame 514. The two ends of the elastic element 6 are fixedly connected to the first connector 15 and the second connector 515 respectively.
[0039] The elastic element 6 is a spring or elastic band, and the first connecting element 15 and the second connecting element 515 are hanging rings, connecting rings or connecting posts.
[0040] Move the expansion plate 52 forward so that the front end of the expansion plate 52 extends into the storage cavity 11 through the through groove 13 and extends into the scalp clip 4 at the front end through the side opening 41. At this time, the elastic member 6 is stretched. After the expansion plate 52 is released, under the action of the elastic member 6, the expansion plate 52 moves backward and the front end of the expansion part returns to the through groove 13, which does not affect the subsequent advancement of the scalp clip 4.
[0041] One method of using the scalp clip holder in this patent includes: arranging multiple scalp clips 4 end to end in the storage cavity 11, with the front clamping seam 42 of the scalp clips 4 facing forward, and fastening them with the hook 24 and the fastening block 14, so that the rear cover 21 is fixedly closed on the rear end of the storage cavity 1. At this time, the push plate 23 abuts against the rear side of the scalp clip 4 at the rear end in the storage cavity 11, and the spring 22 is fully compressed; the foremost scalp clip 4 is blocked by two elastic baffles 3.
[0042] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 8When scalp clips are needed, medical staff push the expansion plate 52 so that the front end of the expansion plate 52 can extend into the storage cavity 11 through the through groove 13 and into the scalp clip 4 at the front end through the side opening 41; press down the lower part of the expansion plate 52 to lift the expansion part, thereby opening the clamping seam 42 on the front side of the scalp clip 4. The medical staff aligns the clamping seam 42 with the scalp of the target area, releases the expansion plate 52, and the scalp clip 4 clamps the scalp. At this time, the expansion plate 52 moves backward under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 6, and the front end of the expansion part returns to the through groove 13.
[0043] The medical staff pulled the scalp clip holder backward. Since the frontmost scalp clip 4 was clamped on the scalp, the frontmost scalp clip 4 was pulled out. At this time, the subsequent scalp clips 4 were pushed towards the front of the storage cavity 11 by the rebound force of the spring 22. The frontmost scalp clip 4 was blocked again by the two elastic baffles 3.
[0044] By repeating the above steps, the scalp clip can be delivered quickly and continuously. This continuous operation is highly efficient, and to a certain extent, it reduces bleeding, lowers the chance of infection, reduces the number of steps, and improves the work efficiency of medical staff.
[0045] Obviously, modifications and / or additions can be made to the above-mentioned scalp clamp holder and corresponding method without departing from the field and scope of this utility model.
[0046] It is equally clear that, although the present invention has described the scalp clip holder in detail, those skilled in the art will certainly be able to obtain many other equivalent forms of scalp clip holders and corresponding methods, which have the features described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined herein.
