Description

Prostatic staple device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a prostatic staple device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common urological disease in men, which is prone to occur in elderly men. The main clinical manifestations are progressive dysuria, frequent urination, and even urinary retention, which seriously affects the quality of life of elderly men.

[0003] At present, minimally invasive treatment methods such as transurethral resection and enucleation, various laser surgeries, etc. are dominant. The means is to reduce or remove the hyperplastic prostate gland within the capsule to reduce the compression or mechanical obstruction of the hyperplastic gland to the prostatic urethra, thereby relieving urethral obstruction. Because these minimally invasive treatment methods destroy the tissue structure of the prostate, there are many surgical complications.

[0004] As a minimally invasive surgical method, prostatic staple implantation can implant staples in the obstructed prostatic urethra to tighten the enlarged prostate tissue and relieve the compression on the urethra, thereby restoring smooth urination. Compared with traditional resection and enucleation, prostatic staple implantation not only has less trauma and high safety, but also retains the integrity of the prostate function, avoiding complications that may be caused by traditional surgery.

[0005] CN114980823A provides a device for preventing instrument deployment failure, which provides mechanical driving force through handle trigger assembly, drive gear and cam components to drive needle sliding member to move needle joint assembly and suture needle assembly to achieve needle, needle retraction and line collection. In this scheme, because the single rotation angle of the cam is small, the driving stroke is limited, so the user can only trigger one action for each operation of the handle trigger assembly, that is, the user needs to manually operate the handle trigger assembly five times to complete the entire process of the staple, corresponding to five steps: unlocking, needle, needle retraction, line collection and clamping and cutting. The operation is complicated, and the overall device is light and the transmission components such as drive gear and cam are mostly injection molded parts and have special shapes. The gear transmission is easy to wear or damage, thereby affecting the service life of the device. SUMMARY

The actuating assembly 22 comprises a puncture needle actuating member 221, a ligature wire actuating member 222 and a first elastic member 223 connected with the puncture needle actuating member 221 and the ligature wire actuating member 222 respectively, the puncture needle actuating member 221 being in transmission connection with the puncture needle assembly 11, and the ligature wire actuating member 222 being in transmission connection with the ligature wire assembly 12.

[0127] In use of the prostate ligature device 100, the implant end of the implanting mechanism 1 is inserted into the proximal side of the prostate ligature, and then the user controls the implanting mechanism 1 to perform the needle insertion, needle retraction and wire retraction by operating the operating mechanism 2.

[0128] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5, 11 and 12, when the needle insertion is performed, the first motor 211 is rotated forward, under the meshing transmission of the first gear 212 and the first rack 213, the first gear 212 drives the first rack 213 to perform a linear motion, and through the linear driving force provided by the first rack 213, the actuating assembly 22 is triggered to move from the initial position to the needle insertion completion position along a first direction a, wherein the puncture needle actuating member 221 drives the puncture needle assembly 11 to move, and the ligature wire actuating member 222 drives the ligature wire assembly 12 to move, so as to realize the needle insertion into the prostate, at this time, the puncture needle 112 passes through the prostate together with the distal anchor 113, i.e. the distal anchor 113 and the ligature wire 122 are transported to the distal side of the prostate by the puncture needle 112.

[0129] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5, 12 and 14, when the needle retraction is performed, the first motor 211 is reversed, under the meshing transmission of the first gear 212 and the first rack 213, the first gear 212 drives the first rack 213 to perform a reverse linear motion, the first rack 213 drives the puncture needle actuating member 221 to drive the puncture needle assembly 11 to move along a second direction b, at this time, the puncture needle 112 is retracted from the prostate, the distal anchor 113 remains on the distal side of the prostate, one end of the ligature wire 122 passes through the prostate to be connected with the distal anchor 113, in addition, since the first elastic member 223 is energized by being pulled by the puncture needle actuating member 221, after the puncture needle 112 is retracted from the prostate, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the ligature wire actuating member 222 moves along the second direction b under the elastic force of the first elastic member 223 to tighten the ligature wire assembly 12, realizing the wire retraction, by tightening the ligature wire 122 to make the distal end stretch and press the distal side of the prostate. Wherein the first direction a and the second direction b are opposite.

[0130] By adopting the technical scheme, the prostate staple device 100 is configured with the first driving assembly 21, which directly provides linear driving force through cooperation of the first motor 211, the first gear 212 and the first rack 213 to trigger execution of the needle puncture, needle retraction and thread retraction, realizes intelligent staple operation, and compared with the scheme of cooperation of the gear and the cam in the prior art CN114980823A, the linear motion stroke length of the first rack 213 in the scheme is adjustable, and the needle retraction and thread retraction can be triggered in sequence by driving the first rack 213 to perform motion in the second direction b once by the first motor 211, the operation is more convenient, and the staple efficiency can be improved. In addition, the first driving assembly 21 runs stably and has stable structure, compared with the scheme of cooperation of the gear and the cam in the prior art, vibration and noise generated in the staple process can be reduced, damage is not easy to occur, and the service life is long.

[0131] It should be understood that herein, "proximal" and "distal" are relative positions, wherein the proximal end of the prostate refers to the part of the prostate tissue close to the urethra, and the distal end of the prostate refers to the part of the prostate tissue far away.

[0132] It should be understood that in the normal use state of the prostate staple device 100, the front end of the prostate staple device 100 faces the patient, herein, the direction from back to front represents "first direction a", the direction from front to back represents "second direction b", and the direction from bottom to top represents "third direction c". The "first direction a" and "second direction b" mentioned herein are based on the indications in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 9 and 11, and the "third direction c" is based on the indications in FIGS. 1, 2 and 11.

[0133] It should be understood that herein, "needle retraction" refers to retracting the puncture needle 112 from the prostate, and the thread retraction can be performed after the puncture needle 112 is retracted from the prostate.

[0134] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 24, the operating mechanism 2 further comprises a first trigger switch 23 for triggering the first driving assembly 21 to operate. When the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial state, the first trigger switch 23 is operated once to trigger the prostate staple device 100 to perform needle puncture, and then the first trigger switch 23 is operated again to trigger the prostate staple device 100 to perform needle retraction and thread retraction. In the scheme, the user only needs to operate the first trigger switch 23 twice to control the prostate staple device 100 to perform needle puncture, needle retraction and thread retraction, compared with the scheme of manual operation three times to realize needle puncture, needle retraction and thread retraction in the prior art CN114980823A, the scheme saves one operation, reduces the difficulty and operation time of staple operation, and improves the staple efficiency.

[0135] In one embodiment, when the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial state, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is locked. When the puncture needle is performed, the first rack 213 provides power to unlock the puncture needle actuating member 221, so that the puncture needle actuating member 221 can be triggered to move in the first direction a.

[0136] In one embodiment, when the puncture needle assembly 11 completes the puncture needle, the second locking structure 2243 does not lock the staple line actuating member 222, and when the needle is started to be retracted, the first motor 211 is reversed, and under the meshing transmission of the first gear 212 and the first rack 213, the first gear 212 drives the first rack 213 to move reversely and linearly, and the first rack 213 drives the needle sliding member 221 and the unlocking element 226 to move in the second direction b. After the staple line actuating member 222 moves slightly in the second direction b, it is locked by the second locking structure 2243, that is, in the initial stage of needle retraction, the staple line actuating member 222 is locked. Of course, the staple line actuating member 222 can also be locked at the same time when the puncture needle is completed. This scheme has strict requirements on the assembly tolerance of parts. Therefore, it is preferred that the staple line actuating member 222 is locked in the initial stage of needle retraction. Hereinafter, for the convenience of elaboration, the “in the initial stage of needle retraction, the staple line actuating member 222 is locked” is taken as an example for specific elaboration.

[0137] Then, the first rack 213 drives the unlocking element 226 to move in the second direction b to the initial position of the unlocking element. As shown in FIGS. 2, 12 and 14, when the puncture needle assembly 11 performs needle retraction, the first motor 211 drives the first rack 213 to move linearly, the first rack 213 drives the puncture needle actuating member 221 to move in the second direction b, the puncture needle actuating member 221 drives the puncture needle assembly 11 to move in the second direction b, so that the puncture needle 112 is retracted from the prostate, and since the staple line actuating member 222 is locked, the staple line actuating member 222 is fixed during the retraction of the puncture needle 112 from the prostate. After the puncture needle 112 is retracted from the prostate, and during the continuous linear movement of the first rack 213, the puncture needle actuating member 221 continues to move in the second direction b to drive the puncture needle assembly 11 to reset to its initial position, and the first rack 213 provides power to unlock the staple line actuating member 222. After the staple line actuating member 222 is unlocked, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the staple line actuating member 222 can move in the second direction b under the elastic force of the first elastic member 223, achieving needle retraction and line retraction.

[0138] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the actuating assembly 22 further comprises a first mounting member 224 and a second elastic member 225, the first mounting member 224 is provided with a first guide rail 2241, the puncture needle actuating member 221 and the staple line actuating member 222 are movably connected to the first guide rail 2241 respectively, one end of the second elastic member 225 is connected to the first mounting member 224, and the other end is connected to the puncture needle actuating member 221. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 11, when the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial position, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is locked and the second elastic member 225 is in the energy storage state. When the puncture needle is performed, the first rack 213 provides power to unlock the puncture needle actuating member 221 during the linear motion of the first rack 213, after the puncture needle actuating member 221 is unlocked, the second elastic member 225 can release the elastic force, and the puncture needle actuating member 221 moves to the puncture needle completion position along the first direction a under the elastic force of the second elastic member 225.

[0139] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the second elastic member 225 is a tension spring, the first mounting member 224 is provided with a second mounting column 2246, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is provided with a hook portion 2215, the hook portion 2215 and the second mounting column 2246 are distributed along the first direction a, one end of the second elastic member 225 is hung on the second mounting column 2246, and the other end is hung on the hook portion 2215. When the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial position, the second elastic member 225 is stretched, and when the puncture needle actuating member 221 is unlocked, the second elastic member 225 rebounds to pull the puncture needle actuating member 221 to move along the first direction a.

[0140] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the first elastic member 223 is a coil spring, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is provided with a first mounting column 2213, the staple line actuating member 222 is provided with a clamping structure 2222, one end of the first elastic member 223 is wound around the first mounting column 2213, and the other end is clamped to the clamping structure 2222. As shown in FIG. 14, when the puncture needle actuating member 221 moves along the second direction b and the staple line actuating member 222 is locked, the first elastic member 223 is stretched, as shown in FIG. 15, when the staple line actuating member 222 is unlocked, the first elastic member 223 retracts to drive the staple line actuating member 222 to move along the second direction b.

[0141] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the first mounting member 224 is provided with a first locking structure 2242 and a second locking structure 2243 which are distributed along the first direction a in sequence.

[0142] When the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial state, the first locking structure 2242 is at least partially located on the travel path of the puncture needle actuating member 221 in the first direction a, so that the first locking structure 2242 can prevent the puncture needle actuating member 221 from moving in the first direction a, achieving locking. When the puncture needle is performed, the first rack 213 provides power to move the first locking structure 2242 away from the travel path of the puncture needle actuating member 221 in the first direction a, and the first locking structure 2242 is unlocked to allow the puncture needle actuating member 221 to move in the first direction a under the elastic force of the second elastic member 225.

[0143] During the puncture needle operation, the tourniquet actuating member 222 moves along with the puncture needle actuating member 221 in the first direction a, and when the puncture needle assembly 11 completes the puncture needle operation, both the puncture needle actuating member 221 and the tourniquet actuating member 222 stop moving. At this time, the second locking structure 2243 is at least partially located on the travel path of the tourniquet actuating member 222 in the second direction b, so that when the needle collection is started, the tourniquet actuating member 222 is locked by the second locking structure 2243 after a slight movement in the second direction b, and the tourniquet actuating member 222 cannot continue to move along with the puncture needle actuating member 221 in the second direction b, so that the needle collection can be performed first, and the puncture needle 112 is collected from the prostate. When the puncture needle 112 is collected from the prostate, the first rack 213 provides power to unlock the second locking structure 2243 by moving away, so that the tourniquet actuating member 222 moves in the second direction b under the elastic force of the first elastic member 223 to achieve the tourniquet collection. Preferably, the gap between the second locking structure 2243 and the locked part of the tourniquet actuating member 222 is configured to be 1 mm - 2 mm when the puncture needle assembly 11 completes the puncture needle operation, which reserves the assembly process gap, and also can lock the tourniquet actuating member 222 at the moment of starting the needle collection.

[0144] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 8 and 10, the actuating assembly 22 further comprises an unlocking member 226 connected to the first rack 213, and the unlocking member 226 is provided with a first unlocking structure 2261 and a second unlocking structure 2262 distributed in the first direction a in sequence. When the puncture needle is performed, the first rack 213 drives the unlocking member 226 to move in the first direction a, and the first unlocking structure 2261 is driven to move to unlock the first locking structure 2242. When the needle collection is performed, the first rack 213 drives the unlocking member 226 to move in the second direction b, and the second unlocking structure 2262 is driven to move to unlock the second locking structure 2243. In this scheme, the unlocking member 226 is separately provided, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the first rack 213 and save the processing cost compared with directly forming the first unlocking structure 2261 and the second unlocking structure 2262 on the first rack 213.

[0145] Further, as shown in FIGS. 6-10, the first locking structure 2242 includes a first connecting arm 22421, a first stopper 22422 and a first extension arm 22423, one end of the first connecting arm 22421 is a free end and the other end is fixed on the body of the first mounting member 224, the first stopper 22422 and the first extension arm 22423 are connected to the free end of the first connecting arm 22421 respectively. When the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial state, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is at least partially locked against the first stopper 22422 in the first direction a, and the first extension arm 22423 is at least partially located on the travel path of the first unlocking structure 2261 in the first direction a. It should be understood that at this time, the force exerted by the second elastic member 225 on the puncture needle actuating member 221 is not enough to make the puncture needle actuating member 221 overcome the blocking force of the first stopper 22422, thereby ensuring the stability of the lock. When the needle is punctured, during the movement of the unlocking member 226 in the first direction a, the first unlocking structure 2261 moves to contact and press the first extension arm 22423, so that the first connecting arm 22421 deforms, thereby making the first stopper 22422 displace and disengage from the puncture needle actuating member 221, achieving unlocking. Further, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is provided with a first protrusion 22111, which is locked against the first stopper 22422 in the first direction a.

[0146] The second locking structure 2243 comprises a second connecting arm 22431, a second stop portion 22432 and a second extending arm 22433, one end of the second connecting arm 22431 is a free end and the other end is fixed to the body of the first mounting member 224, and the second stop portion 22432 and the second extending arm 22433 are connected to the free end of the second connecting arm 22431 respectively. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, in the initial stage of the take-up process, the binder line actuator 222 is at least partially locked against the second stop portion 22432 in the second direction b, and the second extending arm 22433 is at least partially located on the travel route of the second unlocking structure 2262 in the second direction b. It should be understood that at this time, the force exerted by the first elastic member 223 on the binder line actuator 222 is insufficient to enable the binder line actuator 222 to overcome the blocking force of the second stop portion 22432. As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 10, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, in the process of continuing to take up the needle, in the process of moving the unlocking member 226 along with the first rack 213 in the second direction b, the second unlocking structure 2262 moves to contact and press the second extending arm 22433, so that the second connecting arm 22431 deforms, and then the second stop portion 22432 is displaced to disengage from the binder line actuator 222, thereby achieving unlocking, and the binder line actuator 222 moves in the second direction b to take up the line. Further, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 14, the binder line actuator 222 is provided with a second protruding portion 22211, and the second protruding portion 22211 is locked against the second stop portion 22432 in the second direction b.

[0147] Further, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 9, the first mounting member 224 is provided with a first hollow portion 22471 and a second hollow portion 22472 which are sequentially distributed in the first direction a, and the first hollow portion 22471 and the second hollow portion 22472 are connected by a connecting portion 22473, the first connecting arm 22421 is located in the first hollow portion 22471 and the fixed end thereof is connected to the connecting portion 22473, and the first extending arm 22423 extends towards the unlocking member 226 and extends out of the first hollow portion 22471; the second connecting arm 22431 is located in the second hollow portion 22472 and the fixed end thereof is connected to the connecting portion 22473, and the second extending arm 22433 extends towards the unlocking member 226 and extends out of the second hollow portion 22472. In this scheme, the first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243 are arranged compactly, and are both connected to the body of the first mounting member 224 through the connecting portion 22473, which is simple in structure and convenient for processing.

[0148] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 23, when the actuating mechanism 22 is moved to the full needle position, the wire slider 222 abuts against the second mounting post 2246, and the actuating mechanism 22 is stopped, that is, the second mounting post 2246 also serves to limit the movement of the actuating mechanism 22 in the first direction a. When the actuating mechanism 22 is in the full needle position, the second protruding portion 22211 of the staple wire actuating member 222 and the second stop portion 22432 of the second locking structure 2243 are sequentially distributed along the second direction b with a spacing of 1-2 mm therebetween.

[0149] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, the first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243 are located above the first guide rail 2241, the first protruding portion 22111 is arranged on the top wall of the puncture needle actuating member 221, and the second protruding portion 22211 is arranged on the top wall of the staple wire actuating member 222. The first stop portion 22422 and the first protruding portion 22111 are oppositely arranged in the first direction a, and the second stop portion 22432 and the second protruding portion 22211 are oppositely arranged in the second direction b. The first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243 are both arranged in axial symmetry, which is beneficial to simplify the structural design.

[0150] Further, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the first stop portion 22422 includes a first stop surface 224221 and a first inclined surface 224222, and the first protruding portion 22111 includes a first abutting surface 221111 and a second inclined surface 221112. The first stop surface 224221 and the first abutting surface 221111 are both perpendicular to the first direction a, and the first inclined surface 224222 extends in a direction away from the puncture needle actuating member 221 in the first direction a. When the actuating assembly 22 is in the initial state, the first stop surface 224221 and the first abutting surface 221111 stably abut, and the second protruding portion 22211 is located between the first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243, and the second protruding portion 22211 does not interfere with the first locking structure 2242. When the needle is completed, the first protruding portion 22111 is located between the first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243, so that when the needle is retracted, the puncture needle actuating member 221 moves along the second direction b to abut the second inclined surface 221112 against the first inclined surface 224222. Since the two are inclined surfaces, under the drive of the first rack 213, the puncture needle actuating member 221 can smoothly overcome the obstruction of the first inclined surface 224222, and the first protruding portion 22111 smoothly passes through the first stop portion 22422 and is then locked by the first stop portion 22422.

[0151] The second stop portion 22432 comprises a second stop surface 224321 and a third inclined surface 224322, and the second protruding portion 22211 comprises a second abutting surface 222111 and a fourth inclined surface 222112, the second stop surface 224321 and the second abutting surface 222111 are both perpendicular to the second direction b, and the third inclined surface 224322 extends in a direction away from the bundle wire actuating member 222 in the second direction b. When the lancet is operated, the bundle wire actuating member 222 moves along the first direction a to the fourth inclined surface 222112 abutting against the third inclined surface 224322 along with the puncture needle actuating member 221, and due to the inclined surface cooperation, the rebounding force of the second elastic member 225 is sufficient to drive the bundle wire actuating member 222 to overcome the resistance of the third inclined surface 224322, the second protruding portion 22211 smoothly passes through the second stop portion 22432, continues to move along the first direction a, and when the actuating assembly 22 reaches the lancet completion position, the first protruding portion 22111 is located between the first locking structure 2242 and the second locking structure 2243, and the first protruding portion 22111 does not interfere with the second locking structure 2243.

[0152] Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the number of the first protruding portions 22111 is two, and the number of the second protruding portions 22211 is two, the two first protruding portions 22111 are sequentially distributed along the first direction a, and the two second protruding portions 22211 are sequentially distributed along the second direction b, so as to ensure the stability of the corresponding locking function. It should be understood that in the process of the first unlocking structure 2261 forcing the first connecting arm 22421 to deform, the two first protruding portions 22111 can smoothly pass through the first stop portion 22422; in the process of the second unlocking structure 2262 forcing the second connecting arm 22431 to deform, the two second protruding portions 22211 can smoothly pass through the second stop portion 22432.

[0153] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 and FIG. 10, the puncture needle actuating member 221, the suture wire actuating member 222 and the first elastic member 223 are located on the side of the first mounting member 224 facing the implanting mechanism 1, and the first driving assembly 21 and the unlocking member 226 are located on the side of the first mounting member 224 facing away from the implanting mechanism 1. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the first mounting member 224 is provided with a first through hole 2244 extending along the first direction a, the puncture needle actuating member 221 comprises a first protruding block 2211, the suture wire actuating member 222 comprises a second protruding block 2221, the first protruding block 2211 is provided with a first protruding part 22111, and the second protruding block 2221 is provided with a second protruding part 22211. The first protruding block 2211 is movably inserted into the first through hole 2244, so that the first protruding part 22111 can be locked by abutting against the first locking structure 2242 along the first direction a. The second protruding block 2221 is movably inserted into the first through hole 2244, so that the second protruding part 22211 can be locked by abutting against the second locking structure 2243 along the second direction b. In this scheme, the components of the actuating assembly 22 are arranged reasonably and compactly, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the operating mechanism 2.

[0154] Further, in order to facilitate the thin design of the first mounting member 224, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the side of the first mounting member 224 facing away from the implanting mechanism 1 is provided with a groove 2248 located above the first through hole 2244 and communicating with the first through hole 2244, the first connecting arm 22421 and the second connecting arm 22431 are located above the groove 2248, the first stop 22422 and the second stop 22432 extend into the groove 2248, the first protruding part 22111 and the second protruding part 22211 are located in the groove 2248, and the groove 2248 is used to accommodate part of the structure of the actuating assembly 22, and the first protruding block 2211 and the second protruding block 2221 abut against the groove wall of the groove 2248 respectively, which can prevent the puncture needle actuating member 221 and the suture wire actuating member 222 from being separated from the first guide rail 2241.

[0155] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, the puncture needle actuating member 221 comprises a third protruding block 2212, and the first rack 213 is provided with a boss 2131. When the needle is retracted, the boss 2131 can abut against the third protruding block 2212 along the second direction b, so that the first rack 213 drives the puncture needle actuating member 221 to move along the second direction b to complete the needle retraction.

As shown in FIG. 18, the implanting mechanism 1 further comprises a clamping and cutting assembly 13, as shown in FIG. 22, the clamping and cutting assembly 13 comprising a proximal anchor 131 and a cutter 132. When the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is in an initial state, the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is locked to prevent accidental triggering of the clamping and cutting operation. When the clamping and cutting is performed, the second motor 241 is turned on, the second rack 243 is powered by a linear movement to unlock the clamping and cutting assembly 13, after the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is unlocked, the proximal anchor 131 and the cutter 132 are movable, i.e. the proximal anchor 131 moves to clamp the suture 122 at a proximal end of the prostate, and then the cutter 132 moves to cut the suture 122, so that the proximal anchor 131 remains on the proximal side of the prostate, and under the tension of the suture 122 retained in the prostate, the proximal anchor 131 presses the proximal side of the prostate, the distal anchor 113 presses the distal side of the prostate, thereby reducing the prostate and expanding the urethra.

[0168] Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 16, the operating mechanism 2 further comprises a trigger 25 connected to the second rack 243. When the clamping and cutting is performed, the second motor 241 is turned on, the second rack 243 drives the trigger 25 to move in a direction towards the clamping and cutting assembly 13, so that the trigger 25 is driven to move into contact with the clamping and cutting assembly 13, so that under the pushing of the trigger 25, the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is unlocked.

[0169] Further, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the implanting mechanism 1 comprises a second mounting 14, the clamping and cutting assembly 13 comprising a proximal anchor actuator 133, a cutter actuator 134, a third elastic member 135, a first locking member 136 and a second locking member 137, the proximal anchor actuator 133 and the cutter actuator 134 are movably mounted on the second mounting 14, the two ends of the third elastic member 135 are connected to the proximal anchor actuator 133 and the cutter actuator 134 respectively, and the first locking member 136 and the second locking member 137 are rotatably connected to the second mounting 14 respectively.

[0170] During the process of the needle puncture, the needle retraction and the thread retraction of the prostate staple device 100, the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is always in the initial state, in which the first locking member 136 locks the proximal anchor actuator 133, the second locking member 137 locks the cutter actuator 134, and the third elastic member 135 is in the tension state, and the first locking member 136 is at least partially located on the moving route of the trigger 25.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 16, under the driving of the second driving assembly 24, the trigger 25 moves, and the trigger 25 moves to release the first locking member 136. Then, under the pushing of the trigger 25, as shown in FIG. 18, the first locking member 136 rotates to release the proximal anchor actuator 133. In this way, the proximal anchor actuator 133 is unlocked. At the same time, the first locking member 136 rotates to contact and push the second locking member 137 to rotate. The second locking member 137 rotates to release the cutter actuator 134. In this way, the cutter actuator 134 is unlocked. Then, under the rebound force of the third elastic member 135, the proximal anchor actuator 133 and the cutter actuator 134 move towards each other, respectively driving the proximal anchor 131 and the cutter 132 to move towards each other. The movement speed of the proximal anchor actuator 133 is less than that of the cutter actuator 134. In this way, the V-shaped notch of the proximal anchor 131 clamps the staple thread 122 first, and then the cutter 132 cuts the staple thread 122 to realize clamping and cutting.

[0172] Further, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 23, the proximal anchor actuator 133, the second locking member 137 and the cutter actuator 134 are sequentially distributed along the first direction a.

[0173] When the clamping and cutting assembly 13 is in the initial state, the first clamping protrusion 1361 is clamped upwardly in the first clamping groove 1331 to limit the movement of the proximal anchor actuator 133 along the first direction a. The pushing part 1362 is located below the pushed part 1371 with a spacing therebetween. The first abutting part 1372 abuts upwardly and along the first direction a on the second abutting part 1341 to limit the movement of the proximal anchor actuator 133 and the cutter actuator 134 towards each other under the pulling force of the third elastic member 135.

[0174] When the trigger 25 moves upward, the trigger 25 pushes the first locking member 136 upward at the position of the pushing part 13621, so that the first locking member 136 rotates, and the first clamping protrusion 1361 rotates downward to disengage from the first clamping slot 1331, the proximal anchor actuating member 133 is unlocked, the pushing part 1362 rotates upward and pushes the pushing part 1371 upward, so that the second locking member 137 rotates, the first abutting part 1372 rotates downward to disengage from the second abutting part 1341, and the cutter actuating member 134 is unlocked.

[0175] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 16, the second rack 243 is movable along a third direction c, the third direction c is perpendicular to the first direction a, and the output shafts of the first motor 211 and the second motor 241 are perpendicular to each other.

[0194] Specifically, a complete operation step of the prostate staple device 100 of the present scheme is as follows:

[0195] (1) Starting and automatic calibration

[0196] The user operates the second trigger switch 26 once to start the prostate staple device 100, and the prostate staple device 100 performs automatic calibration, so that the prostate staple device 100 is in an initial state, at this time, the first protruding portion 22111 of the puncture needle actuator 221 abuts against the first stop portion 22422 along the first direction a and is locked, and the second elastic member 225 is compressed.

[0197] (2) Stabbing needle

[0198] Before the needle is inserted, the user first sends the front end of the implanting mechanism 1 to the proximal side of the prostate, then the user operates the first trigger switch 23 for the first time, the first motor 211 rotates in the forward direction, and the first rack 213 drives the unlocking member 226 to move in the first direction a, when the unlocking member 226 moves to the first unlocking structure 2261 and contacts and presses the first extension arm 22423, the first connecting arm 22421 is deformed, and then the first stop portion 22422 is separated from the first protruding portion 22111, the puncture needle actuating member 221 is unlocked, then the second elastic member 225 rebounds instantaneously to push the puncture needle actuating member 221 and the staple line actuating member 222 to move in the first direction a, wherein the puncture needle actuating member 221 drives the puncture needle assembly 11 to move in the first direction a, and the staple line actuating member 222 drives the staple line assembly 12 to move in the first direction a, the puncture needle 112 penetrates the prostate to deliver the distal anchor 113 located in the puncture needle 112 to the distal side of the prostate, one end of the staple line 122 is located in the puncture needle 112 and connected with the distal anchor 113, and the needle insertion is completed, at this time, the second protruding portion 22211 of the staple line actuating member 222 and the second locking structure 2243 are distributed in the second direction b in sequence and are 2 mm apart from each other.
