Description

1 TARIFF FEATURES AN ADJUSTABLE MECHANICAL FORCE LIMITING MECHANISM. SURGICAL HAMMER Technical Area The invention is relevant to oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery, particularly bone osteotomy, bone Osteotomes, chisels, or similar tools are used in surgical procedures such as bone separation and shaping. 10 manual, enabling controlled impact application to similar surgical instruments. a device that can be set up, requires no external electrical energy, and transmits an impulse to the surgical instrument. mechanically according to a predetermined force level adjustable mechanical force that allows for limitation and adjustment It relates to a surgical hammer with a restraint mechanism. The Invention's Infrastructure Today, various surgical fields are available, primarily oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery. Applications include bone osteotomy, bone separation, bone expansion, bone Osteotomes and chisels are used during procedures such as shaping and sinus lifts. or similar surgical instruments for the purpose of applying mechanical impact to surgical instruments. Hammers are used. These surgical hammers are primarily used by surgeons. mechanical energy generated by the striking motion created by the osteotom, chisel, or similar surgical instrument is transferred to the aforementioned instrument, thus enabling the transfer of the device to the surgical tool. the advancement of the instrument through the bone tissue or the relevant surgical procedure 25 It ensures its realization. In conventional surgical hammers, the force transmitted to the surgical instrument depends significantly on the user. The fact that it depends on the force of the blows applied poses a significant problem. Since it is not possible for the user to generate the same intensity with each stroke, 30 consecutive strokes Differences in force can occur between blows, and this situation is particularly problematic. transferred to the surgical instrument in surgical procedures requiring precise and controlled progress This makes it difficult to control the force. The user uses excessively high force. 2 the force generated when it strikes, either directly or without sufficient limitation can be transferred to surgical instruments, such as osteotomes or chisels. This can cause it to progress further than intended. The aforementioned control problem is particularly relevant in sinus lift, osteotomy, bone separation, and bone 5 procedures. It becomes even more important in delicate procedures such as dilation. Sinus lift excessive impact force in applications or uncontrolled progression of osteotoma risk of undesirable situations such as perforation of the sinus membrane can increase the impact, and excessively high impact during osteotomy and bone separation procedures. The force causes the osteotome to advance beyond its targeted position, resulting in 10% damage to the bone tissue. unwanted fractures or cracks may occur and the surgical procedure performed This can lead to a decrease in control over the procedure. Therefore, the surgical procedure... Its reliability depends solely on the surgeon's ability to control the force of the incisions. It should not be possible; the force transmitted to the surgical instrument must be mechanically limited. It is necessary. 15 In the current state of the technique, various surgical and Dental hammer designs have been developed. Within this scope, they are known as Dental Mallets. The product numbered US2376187A, called Controlled Force Mallet. 20, with publication number US5282805A, called the Bi-Spring Surgical Impact Tool. Bi-Spring Surgical Hammer Impact Tools with publication number US12070256B2 patent documents with publication numbers EP4297665A1 and US12004793B2 It is known that in these systems, mechanical energy is transferred via springs. storage, adjustment of impact force, moving mass or moving the use of mechanisms, the utilization of gear and pinion systems and some 25 different structures such as generating controlled impacts with the help of a motor Technical solutions are available. However, the fundamental requirement in surgical procedures is not just a specific one. the generation of impact force or the storage of impact energy within springs 30 or if the force applied by the user exceeds the specified level It is the mechanical limitation of the transfer of excessive force to the surgical instrument. Also the limitation in question can be adjusted according to different usage requirements, The system can be easily installed and restored to its initial state after a blow. 3 for it to rotate and for all these processes to be carried out using external electrical energy, electronic sensors or It is important that this can be done without requiring an electric motor. Adjustable mechanical force limiter developed based on current needs. The invention of the surgical hammer with its mechanism allows the force to be transmitted to the surgical instrument to be 5. to prevent it from depending solely on the user's stroke force and in advance mechanically transmitting force above a specified force level It has a special mechanical structure for restraint. The invention is limited to... a surgical hammer that contains a spring or reduces impact energy not; manual arming, mechanical locking, adjustable force threshold creation, word 10 The issue is mechanically unlocking when the threshold is exceeded, preventing excessive force transmission. limiting and restoring the mechanism to its starting position functions It brings them together within the same mechanical system. Within the scope of the invention, two striking points are located on opposite sides of the hammer head body. one of its surfaces is the mounting surface, and the other is the surgical working surface. It is used. As a result of applying an impact to the mounting surface, the hammer head body The movable double-sided gear inside works in the direction of the working surface. It moves forward, and during this movement, two main springs are compressed. Thus The manual arming operation performed by the user is controlled within the mechanism. It is converted into mechanical motion. One of the key technical differences of the invention is the shank of the movable double-faced gear part. with the expanding and inclined tooth geometry on the side and the lower moving gear wheel It is their working together. The lower gear is a gear that rotates only on a fixed axis. 25 It is not structured as such; the shaft body together with the wedge and carrier element. It can move along the channel inside. The movable double-sided toothed part During its progression, the special gear geometry in question is with the lower moving gear wheel. interacting and the shaft of the carrier element with the wedge carrying the lower movable gear wheel. It allows it to move along the channel inside. Wedge and carrier 30 The movement of the element involves compressing the threshold spring located inside the shaft. thus ensuring that the mechanism operates mechanically at the specified force level. It is set up and locked. 4 The force limiting function of the invention is achieved through the mechanical locking mechanism in question. This is being carried out. Impact on the working surface during surgical use. If applied, the resulting force is up to a predetermined threshold level. The gear is being transferred, and if the threshold level is exceeded, the wedge, the lower movable gear The mechanical locking relationship between the gear and the threshold spring is released, locking the gear. 5 This is resolved. Thus, the user's work surface is subjected to an unnecessarily high level of force. even in the case of a coup attempt, the force exceeding the determined threshold level Transfer to an osteotome, chisel, or similar surgical instrument is restricted. Therefore, force control is not left solely to the user's stroke precision, a force limitation implemented by the hammer's own mechanical structure 10 The function is provided. Another important feature of the invention is that the thresholding spring is positioned in the preferred application. The preload applied to the threshold spring is variable. The force level required to unlock the mechanical lock by changing it is 15. the maximum amount allowed to be modified and consequently transferred to the surgical instrument It becomes possible to adjust the force level. Thus, the system only not as a pulse limiter operating at a constant force level, but as needed as a surgical hammer that can be mechanically adjusted according to the force level It is being structured. 20 After the mechanical threshold is exceeded and the lock is released, it is compressed. The return force of the main springs in this situation drives the movable double-faced gear part. It returns to the starting position. Thus, the force limiting process... then the components of the mechanism are manually returned to their starting positions one by one 25 The system can be re-established without needing to be brought back in. The arming, locking, force limiting, unlocking, and return operations are all interconnected. The fact that it is realized in a mechanically connected manner constitutes the working principle of the invention. It forms the basis. Another advantage of the invention is that the specified functions can be performed electronically. no sensor, electric motor or external electrical power source needed It is not audible. Establishing and limiting the force level; moving couple surface gear part, main springs, movable gear wheel, keyway carrier element and threshold. This is achieved through the mechanical interaction of the springs and coils. This allows for controlled force transmission within a completely mechanical structure. is provided. As a result, the invention reduces the variability in the intensity of strokes applied by the surgeon by 5. Reducing the effect on the force transmitted to the surgical instrument, at the specified level mechanical limitation of excessive force transmission on it, force limit adjustable, the system can be manually set up and mechanically locked, threshold If the force is exceeded, the lock will automatically release and the main springs will return. Thanks to its force, the mechanism can be reset. 10 In this context, surgical devices with adjustable mechanical force limiting mechanisms are included. The hammer differs from known mechanisms for creating controlled surgical blows. an adjustable mechanical force threshold, and the mechanical action that occurs when the threshold is exceeded. The unlocking mechanism and automatic return function are made of the same mechanical structure. by bringing them together, especially in delicate bone surgery applications, excessive 15 It presents a technical solution for limiting force transmission.
