Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly to a medical multi-function suture remover. [Background technology]

[0002] In medical practice, suture removal is an essential part of the procedure after wound healing, but currently there are several important problems in the field of suture removal techniques, including: (1) Difficulty in identification: During the process of removing stitches, factors such as scabs on the wound, hair, knot lines, and insufficient light often make it difficult for doctors to accurately identify and remove the knots, increasing the difficulty and risk of the operation. (2) Removing sutures is difficult: If the knot is too tight or if the sutures penetrate deep into the skin as the wound heals, it may be necessary to insert them deep into the wound to cut them. This makes removal even more difficult, especially in special areas (such as the genitals or face) or when the sutures are thin. (3) Patient discomfort: During the process of suture removal, patients, especially children and the elderly, often have low tolerance and experience discomfort, which not only affects the patient's experience but may also have a negative impact on their prognosis. (4) Risk of re-injury: The traditional suture removal process may disrupt the healed wound and cause re-injury, which not only prolongs the patient's recovery time but also increases the risk of complications. (5) Lack of surgical precision: During surgery, the stitch removal procedure using conventional scissors after ligating the blood vessels is not very precise, making it easy to accidentally damage fragile tissues and blood vessels, thereby increasing the risk of surgery and the possibility of complications.

[0003] Although conventional suture removal scissors are still the main tool for suture removal, there are obvious shortcomings in their application process. (1) Blade design issues: The cutting edge of suture removal scissors is generally not very sharp, so it is not sharp enough to cut surgical sutures, which affects the efficiency of suture removal. (2) Occupying a large space: Suture removal scissors gradually increase in size from the head to the base. Therefore, when they are inserted deep into the wound to remove stitches, their relatively large volume occupies a considerable amount of space, which not only increases the patient's pain but also makes it more likely to cause unnecessary tissue damage. (3) Limited operating angle: Because the head of the scissors is relatively large, when the doctor operates it, he must pull up the suture tip at a fairly large angle (e.g., 20 to 30 degrees) to ensure that the cutting edge of the scissors is inserted deep below the knot to remove the suture. This operation not only complicates the surgery but also increases the patient's discomfort. (4) Obstructed view: During the process of suture removal, the scissors need to be inserted deep into the skin. Therefore, if there is a lack of light or the view is obstructed, it becomes difficult for the doctor to accurately determine the location of the knot to be removed, increasing the difficulty and risk of the operation.

[0004] The closest existing implementation: Currently, there are several instruments that attempt to improve the suture removal operation by changing the shape of the cutting edge to improve the accuracy and convenience of suture removal, but these instruments have not yet completely solved the above problems in practical application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new suture removal instrument that overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies and improves the efficiency and safety of suture removal operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a medical multi-function suture removal device that can improve the accuracy and efficiency of suture removal, reduce patient pain, lower the risk of re-injury, and improve the accuracy and safety of surgery.

[0011] As a fifth preferred means of the present invention, the hook head is covered with a protective sleeve.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a multi-function medical suture removal tool, which mainly includes a suture removal hook and an extension handle. The hook head of the suture removal hook is extremely small, allowing for precise suture removal. The outside of the hook head is rounded so as not to injure the patient. The inside of the hook head is equipped with a blade for cutting sutures. The inside of the suture removal hook can store a medicinal solution, which can be sprayed from the medicine nozzle on the outside of the hook head to inject the medicinal solution into the wound after the stitches have just been removed. The suture removal hook can be used alone or in combination with an extension handle. To make it easier for the operator to operate, a lighting device and a magnifying glass are installed on the extension handle, and the extension handle is also covered with a silica gel anti-slip sleeve to further improve stability in operation.
