Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an ophthalmic iris retractor cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The iris retractor is an indispensable precision instrument in ophthalmic microsurgery (such as phacoemulsification for cataracts, glaucoma filtration surgery, and iris repair surgery). Its main function is to gently retract the iris tissue to expose the surgical field (such as the lens capsule and anterior chamber angle), assisting the surgeon in performing precise operations. Because the iris retractor needs to directly contact intraocular tissues, such as the iris and aqueous humor, its cleanliness and sterility are directly related to surgical safety. Therefore, the requirements for its cleanliness and sterility are far higher than those for ordinary surgical instruments. Furthermore, because intraocular tissues are extremely sensitive to foreign bodies, microorganisms, and chemical residues, incomplete instrument cleaning can lead to serious complications such as endophthalmitis, iris adhesions, and corneal edema, and may even cause vision loss. Therefore, to ensure surgical and patient safety, the iris retractor must be cleaned and disinfected promptly after surgery.

[0003] In existing technologies, iris retractors are typically cleaned manually or using general-purpose medical device cleaning equipment. However, during actual cleaning, because iris retractors are usually long and thin rod-shaped structures with an arc-shaped hook at the head for pulling the iris, there are tiny gaps and grooves at the connection between the hook and the rod, which easily trap blood, aqueous humor proteins, tissue debris, and viscoelastic agents used in surgery. Manual cleaning or general-purpose cleaning devices cannot reach these gaps, easily creating blind spots and resulting in incomplete cleaning. Therefore, a device specifically designed for cleaning iris retractors is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this disclosure and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

In order to better understand the technical solution of this application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] This example discloses an ophthalmic iris retractor cleaning device. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-5 The device includes a cleaning mechanism 1, which includes an extension plate 16 and, from right to left, a rinsing tank 11, a soaking tank 12, a rinsing tank 13, a clean water tank 14, and a disinfection tank 15 connected to the front side of the extension plate 16. A support component 3 is also movably installed inside the rinsing tank 11. The rinsing tank 11, soaking tank 12, rinsing tank 13, clean water tank 14, and disinfection tank 15 are all the same size, and a water-blocking plug 17 is installed at the center of their respective bottoms. From left to right, a first faucet 5, a second faucet 6, a third faucet 7, and a fourth faucet 8 are installed on the extension plate 16. The first faucet 5 corresponds to the rear of the rinsing tank 11, the second faucet 6 corresponds to the diagonally rear of the soaking tank 12, the third faucet 7 corresponds to the rear of the rinsing tank 13, and the fourth faucet 8 corresponds to the rear of the clean water tank 14.

[0024] The support assembly 3 includes a support box 31, a limiting bracket 32 ​​symmetrically extending and connected to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the support box 31, an movable opening 33 opened on the limiting bracket 32, a push-pull handle 34 extending and connected to the upper end of the front side of the support box 31, and a lifting handle 35 installed on the upper end of the rear side of the support box 31. The limiting bracket 32 ​​is movably locked between the rinsing tanks 11. The bottom and the sides of the support box 31 are also provided with multiple water passage holes 311 at equal intervals. The inner diameter of the water passage holes 311 is smaller than the outer diameter of the iris hook end. A sinking assembly 4 is also movably installed inside the support box 31.

[0025] The sinking component 4 includes a sinking box 41, sinking handles 42 extending and installed on the upper ends of the left and right sides of the sinking box 41, and multiple sinking holes 43 equidistantly opened at the bottom of the sinking box 41. The sinking box 41 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the carrier box 31 around its perimeter. The sinking handles 42 are locked on the limiting bracket 32. The inner diameter of the sinking holes 43 is smaller than the outer diameter of the iris hook end.

[0026] The first faucet 5 is equipped with a first telescopic pipe 51 at its outlet end, and a first nozzle 52 is installed at the end of the first telescopic pipe 51, located above the rinsing tank 11. The third faucet 7 is equipped with a second telescopic pipe 71 at its outlet end, and a second nozzle 72 is installed at the end of the second telescopic pipe 71, located above the rinsing tank 13. The inlet ends of the first faucet 5, the second faucet 6, and the third faucet 7 are all connected to a pressurized tap water supply pipeline, which is implemented using existing technology. The first telescopic pipe 51 and the second telescopic pipe 71 are corrugated pipes as used in existing technology. The fourth faucet 8 is equipped with a water storage chamber 81 at its outlet end, and multiple downward-facing and equidistant water outlet pipes 82 are arranged on the water storage chamber 81, located above the purified water tank 14. The inlet end of the fourth faucet 8 is connected to a pressurized purified water supply pipeline, which is implemented using existing technology. All of the above-mentioned faucets have a switch knob and are products of existing technology.

[0027] The upper ends of the left and right sides of the soaking tank 12 are symmetrically provided with slot openings 121, and symmetrical stirring components 2 are installed inward on the slot openings 121. The stirring components 2 include a support plate 21 connected inward to the bottom of the slot opening 121, a stirring motor 24 mounted on the support plate 21, a rotating shaft 22 rotatably mounted between the support plate 21 and the bottom of the soaking tank 12, and a stirring wheel 23 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 22. The stirring motor 24 is connected to the rotating shaft 22, and the stirring wheel 23 is close to the bottom of the soaking tank 12.

[0028] Working principle: When implementing the device of this application, first place the iris retractor to be cleaned after surgery in the carrier box 31. The diameter of the water inlet 311 is smaller than the outer diameter of the retractor hook body to prevent the retractor from slipping out of the water inlet 311. Then, hold the lifting handle 35 and the pushing handle 34, and use the limiting bracket 32 ​​to lock the left and right sides of the carrier component 3 between the rinsing tank 11. Since the front and back width of the carrier component 3 is narrower than the length inside the rinsing tank 11, the carrier component 3 can move back and forth along the edge of the rinsing tank 11. Next, pull out the water plug 17 in the rinsing tank 11 and turn on the first water tap 5 to clean the iris. The hook is pre-rinsed; during rinsing, water flows through the first telescopic tube 51 and rinses the surface of the iris hook from the first nozzle 52. The first telescopic tube 51 is designed to be telescopic, and the rinsing position and direction of the first nozzle 52 can be adjusted by pushing, pulling or rotating the first telescopic tube 51. At the same time, during the rinsing process, the push-pull handle 34 can be held to push and pull the carrier component 3 back and forth. The inertia causes the hook in the carrier box 31 to move and roll, ensuring that it is completely rinsed. After rinsing, the easily removable attachments on the hook surface are washed away and fall into the rinsing tank 11 through the water passage 311 and discharged.

[0029] After pre-rinsing, hold the push-pull handle 34 and pull the carrier component 3 forward. Then, hold the pull handle 35 with your other hand and place the carrier component 3 into the soaking tank 12 for soaking. When placing it, ensure that the agitator 2 is in the movable opening 33. Next, turn on the second water tap 6 to fill the soaking tank 12 with water, and simultaneously add detergent to the water manually. After the detergent mixes with the water to form a cleaning solution that submerges the iris hook, turn off the second water tap 6 and turn on the agitator motors 24 on both sides. The agitator motors 24 drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the agitator wheel 23 follows. The rotating shaft 22 rotates and drives the cleaning liquid in the soaking tank 12 to move. The moving liquid helps to decompose and soften stubborn deposits. During the soaking process, the push-pull handle 34 can be held to push and pull the carrier component 3, so that the hook inside moves back and forth and rolls to ensure the soaking effect. In order to prevent the hook from floating up during the soaking process and not achieving the ideal soaking effect, the sinking component 4 needs to be locked in the carrier component 3 during soaking. The sinking box 41 is locked along the inner wall of the carrier box 31 to restrict the iris hook in the cleaning liquid. The sinking hole 43 can ensure that the hook is completely in the cleaning liquid.

[0030] After soaking for a certain period of time, remove the sinking component 4 using the sinking handle 42, then lift the supporting component 3 and transfer it to the rinsing tank 13 for a second rinse. Using the third water tap 7 in conjunction with the second telescopic pipe 71 and the second nozzle 72, the softened residue on the hook can be cleaned off.

[0031] After the second rinsing is completed, the carrier component 3 is transferred from the rinsing tank 13 to the clean water tank 14. Then, the water plug 17 is pulled out and the fourth water tap 8 is turned on to clean the hook with purified water. The purified water is output to the water storage chamber 81 through the fourth water tap 8, and then evenly sprayed onto the hook in the carrier component 3 through multiple equally spaced water outlet bottom pipes 82. At this time, the carrier component 3 is pushed and pulled back and forth by the push and pull handle 34 to ensure that the hook in the carrier component 3 is completely cleaned.

[0032] After rinsing with purified water, any remaining dirt on the hooks has been cleaned. Finally, the carrier component 3 is transferred from the purified water tank 14 to the disinfection tank 15, and then disinfectant is injected into the disinfection tank 15 to disinfect the cleaned hooks in the carrier component 3.

[0033] In the technical solution of this application, both the bearing component 3 and the sinking component 4 are made of stainless steel, which has a density much greater than that of the liquid during cleaning and is not affected by buoyancy; the agitator motor 24 used is existing technology, and its specific working principle will not be described in this technical solution.
