Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device and a soft tissue clamp to solve the problems existing in the prior art and increase the firmness of clamping the mucosa.
[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] This utility model provides a clamping device for soft tissue clips, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the clamping device 1 includes a first clamping piece 11 and a second clamping piece 12; Figures 3 to 5 In this device, one end of the first clamping piece 11 is a first hinge end, and the other end is a hook-shaped structure. The hook-shaped structure includes a first bent portion 111 and a second bent portion 112. The other end of the first clamping piece 11 is bent and extended towards the second clamping piece 12 to form the first bent portion 111. One end of the first bent portion 111 is an extension end and continues to bend and extend towards the second clamping piece 12 to form the second bent portion 112. The first bent portion 111 and the second bent portion 112 can rotate around the first hinge end. One end of the second clamping piece 12 is a second hinge end, and the other end is bent towards the first clamping piece 11 to form a third bent portion 121. The third bent portion 121 can rotate around the second hinge end. The third bent portion 121 can abut or separate from the side of the hook-shaped structure near the first hinge end to realize the opening or closing of the clamping device 1.
[0032] It should be noted that, if the area between the first clip 11 and the second clip 12 is defined as the inner side, then the first bend 111, the second bend 112, and the third bend 121 are all bent inwards; the bends of the first bend 111, the second bend 112, and the third bend 121 should be understood as smooth transition bends; and in the closed state, the third bend 121 can abut against one side of the second bend 112, or against one side of the first bend 111, or against the junction of the first bend 111 and the second bend 112.
[0033] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bending angle of the first bending portion 111 is α, the bending angle of the second bending portion 112 is β, and the bending angle of the third bending portion 121 is γ; and the angle range of α, β, and γ is 40° to 50°. For example, the angles of α, β, and γ can all be 45°, that is, those skilled in the art can set the angle values of α, β, and γ according to the actual situation.
[0034] In some embodiments, the clamping device 1 further includes a clamping housing 13, one end of which is provided with a first pin 14, a first guide groove 115 is provided on the first clamping piece 11, and a second guide groove 124 is provided on the second clamping piece 12. (Continue reading...) Figure 4 The first pin 14 is inserted into the first guide groove 115 and the second guide groove 124, and the first pin 14 can slide along the first guide groove 115 and the second guide groove 124.
[0035] The first hinge end of the first clamping piece 11 and the second hinge end of the second clamping piece 12 can move along the direction parallel to the axis of the clamping housing 13 and drive the first guide groove 115 and the second guide groove 124 to slide relative to the first pin 14, so that the third bent part 121 abuts against or separates from the hook structure.
[0036] In some embodiments, the clamping device 1 further includes a sliding plate 15. The clamping housing 13 is provided with an assembly groove 131. The sliding plate 15 is disposed in the assembly groove 131 and can reciprocate along the axial direction of the clamping housing 13. A hinge seat 151 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 15. The first hinge end of the first clamping piece 11 and the second hinge end of the second clamping piece 12 are both hinged to the hinge seat 151, specifically through the second pin 18. The reciprocating sliding of the sliding plate 15 can drive the hinge ends of the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12 to move along the direction parallel to the axis of the clamping housing 13.
[0037] In some embodiments, the clamping device 1 further includes a fixing plate 17 and an elastic element 16. The elastic element 16 is disposed between the fixing plate 17 and the sliding plate 15. In the initial state, the elastic force of the elastic element 16 enables the third bent portion 121 to abut against one side of the hook structure. The sliding plate 15 needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 16 and slide along the axial direction of the clamping housing 13.
[0038] It should be noted that in the initial state, the clamping device 1 is in a closed state. When operating, the sliding plate 15 is pushed to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 16, causing the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12 to separate. Furthermore, the elastic force of the elastic element 16 enables the clamping device 1 to automatically close and apply a pre-tightening force in the closed state, thereby improving the closing effect. Moreover, those skilled in the art can specifically set the elastic force of the elastic element 16 to balance the convenience of operation and improve the closing effect.
[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first clip 11 includes a first hinge portion 114 and a first transition connection portion 113. The first hinge portion 114 is provided with a first guide groove 115 and a first hinge end. The two ends of the first transition connection portion 113 are respectively connected to the first hinge portion 114 and the first bending portion 111.
[0040] The second clip 12 includes a second hinge portion 123 and a second transition connection portion 122. The second hinge portion 123 is provided with a second guide groove 124 and a second hinge end. The two ends of the second transition connection portion 122 are respectively connected to the second hinge portion 123 and the third bending portion 121.
[0041] Furthermore, the first hinge portion 114 and the second hinge portion 123 are arranged in parallel, and the first transition connection portion 113 and the second transition connection portion 122 are both inclined or bent so that the third bending portion 121 and the hook structure can abut against each other during relative rotation.
[0042] It should be noted that, since the first hinge portion 114 and the second hinge portion 123 are arranged parallel to each other, the third bending portion 121 and the hook-shaped structure need to be guided by the first transition connection portion 113 and the second transition connection portion 122 so that they can abut or separate during rotation.
[0043] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, two first sliding grooves 132 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the assembly groove 131. Sliding parts 152 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the sliding plate 15. The sliding parts 152 are adapted to be inserted into the first sliding grooves 132 and can slide along the first sliding grooves 132.
[0044] A locking protrusion 133 is provided in the first slide groove 132, and a locking groove 153 is provided on the side end of the sliding part 152. The locking groove 153 can be adapted to lock the locking protrusion 133.
[0045] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can reasonably set the degree of clamping between the locking protrusion 133 and the locking groove 153 so that when an external force is applied to the sliding plate 15, the locking protrusion 133 and the locking groove 153 can be separated to achieve the effect of repeated opening and closing.
[0046] In some embodiments, both the first clip 11 and the second clip 12 are made of medical-grade titanium alloy, which has good biocompatibility and mechanical strength.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first guide groove 115 and the second guide groove 124 are both arc-shaped grooves, which enable the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12 to rotate synchronously to open or close.
[0048] This utility model also provides a soft tissue clip, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes the aforementioned clamping device 1, as well as a handheld assembly 2, an outer tube 3, and a pull cable 4. The two ends of the outer tube 3 are connected to the clamping device 1 and the handheld assembly 2, respectively. The pull cable 4 is disposed inside the outer tube 3, and one end of the pull cable 4 is connected to the handheld assembly 2, while the other end can drive one end of the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12 to slide along the direction parallel to the axis of the clamping housing 13. The outer tube 3 is a spring tube.
[0049] The handheld component 2 includes a handle 21, a slider 22, a positioning cap 23, and a protective sleeve 24. The small-diameter end of the protective sleeve 24 is connected to the outer tube 3, and the large-diameter end is connected to the positioning cap 23. The positioning cap 23 is connected to one end of the handle 21, and the other end of the handle 21 is provided with a first control ring 212. The handle 21 is also provided with a second slide groove 211. The slider 22 is fitted onto the handle 21 and is slidably connected to the second slide groove 211. Two second control rings 221 are symmetrically arranged on the slider 22.
[0050] One end of the cable 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 22, and the other end passes through the fixed plate 17 and the elastic element 16 and is detachably connected to the sliding plate 15. One end of the outer tube 3 is detachably connected to the clamping housing 13. The slider 22 can slide along the second slide groove 211 to drive the sliding plate 15 to slide along the first slide groove 132, thereby driving the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12 to open or close. And the clamping device 1 can be rotated by rotating the handle 21.
[0051] When using the soft tissue clamp of this invention, specifically for clamping a tissue wound, the handle 21 is rotated to rotate the clamping device 1, making the opening and closing plane of the clamping device 1 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tissue wound. The first clamping piece 11 hooks onto the mucosa on one side of the tissue. By tightening the slider 22 and the handle 21, the slider 22 slides along the second groove 211. The cable 4 gently clamps the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12, causing the hook-like structure of the first clamping piece 11 to embed into the mucosal layer and hook onto the mucosa muscle layer, preventing it from loosening. Then, the clamping device 1 is opened to its maximum angle and moved to the other side of the mucosa, causing the wound to shrink and close. The second clamping piece 12 then hooks onto the opposite mucosa, and the slider 22 and the handle 21 are tightened, causing the clamping device 1 to close and release.
[0052] This invention improves the first clip 11 by forming a hook-shaped structure at one end, similar to the beak of an eagle, which increases the firmness of the clamping of the mucosa. This is especially effective when dealing with large bleeding points or closing large wounds, as it can clamp and fix the mucosa more effectively. The design is simple, practical, and easy to operate, and can significantly improve the efficiency, success rate, and safety of surgery.
[0053] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
