Description

A continuous dura mater suture device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a continuous dura mater suturing device. Background Technology

[0002] The dura mater is a tough membranous structure that covers the outermost layer of brain tissue, providing basic mechanical protection. Its integrity can prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage and reduce the occurrence of intracranial infections, epilepsy, and other conditions. For neurosurgery, dural incision is an essential route to access the intracranial cavity. Therefore, the dura mater must be meticulously sutured and repaired at the end of the surgery to prevent postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, subcutaneous effusion, intracranial infection, and epilepsy.

[0003] In dural suturing, most procedures are performed manually, which is inefficient. Currently, although electric dural suture machines can replace manual suturing, the machine still needs to be held manually. Prolonged holding can cause vibrations and lead to suturing errors, further reducing efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a continuous dural suturing device that can effectively replace manual movement of the suturing equipment and perform rapid, continuous, and stable dural suturing, thereby improving efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-5, the present invention provides a continuous dura mater suturing device, including an arc-shaped guide rail 1. A suturing assembly is fixedly connected to the moving end of the arc-shaped guide rail 1. Adjustment assemblies for adjusting the rotation angle of the arc-shaped guide rail 1 are respectively provided at both ends of the arc-shaped guide rail 1. A clamping assembly for mounting on an operating table is provided below the adjustment assembly. The suturing assembly includes a movable plate 4. The movable plate 4 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the arc-shaped guide rail 1 through a control unit. The control unit is used to control the lifting and lowering and rotation angle of the movable plate 4. A suturing part for suturing the dura mater is provided at one end of the movable plate 4 away from the control unit. Grasping parts for clamping the dura mater are respectively provided on both sides of the suturing part. The grasping parts are fixedly connected to the movable plate 4.

[0028] This invention mounts two clamping components on an operating table. The rotation angle of the arc-shaped guide rail 1 is controlled by adjusting these components, and the suture assembly is moved via the arc-shaped guide rail 1 to position the suture section above the area to be sutured. The control unit then adjusts the rotation of the movable plate 4, positioning the suture section, the grasping section, and the area to be sutured in relative positions. The control unit lowers the movable plate 4, allowing the two grasping sections to grasp the area to be sutured, and the suture section can then suture between the two grasping sections. This invention effectively replaces manual movement of the suture section and enables rapid, continuous, and stable dura mater sutures, significantly improving suture efficiency.

[0029] A further optimized design includes a control unit comprising a fixed end of a first electrically telescopic rod 11 fixedly connected to the moving end of the arc-shaped guide rail 1. A second motor 41 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first electrically telescopic rod 11, and the output shaft of the second motor 41 is fixedly connected to the center of the movable plate 4. The movable plate 4 is raised and lowered by the telescopic end of the first electrically telescopic rod 11, and then the second motor 41 drives the movable plate 4 to rotate, adjusting the rotation angle of the movable plate 4 to position it in the desired location.

[0030] A further optimized design includes a suture section comprising a second groove 47 formed on a movable plate 4. A lead screw 43 is rotatably connected within the second groove 47, and a second slider 44 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 43. The second slider 44 is slidably connected to the second groove 47. One end of the second slider 44 extending out of the second groove 47 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of a third electric telescopic rod 46, and the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 46 is fixedly connected to an electric suturer 6. The lead screw 43 drives the second slider 44 to move along the second groove 47, the second slider 44 drives the third electric telescopic rod 46 to move, and the third electric telescopic rod 46 drives the electric suturer 6 to move.

[0031] In a further optimized design, a third motor 42 is connected to one end of the lead screw 43 extending beyond the movable plate 4. The third motor 42 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate 4. The third motor 42 drives the lead screw 43 to rotate.

[0032] The design is further optimized so that the gripping unit includes a fixed end of a second electrically telescopic rod 45 fixedly connected to the movable plate 4. Two second electrically telescopic rods 45 are symmetrically arranged on both sides outside the second slide groove 47. The telescopic ends of the second electrically telescopic rods 45 are fixedly connected to pneumatic grippers 5. The second electrically telescopic rods 45 drive the pneumatic grippers 5 to approach the area of ​​the dura mater that needs to be sutured, so that the pneumatic grippers 5 can grasp the area of ​​the dura mater that needs to be sutured, facilitating the electric suturer 6 to suture the dura mater between the two pneumatic grippers 5.

[0033] The electric stitcher 6 is reset to a position close to either of the pneumatic grippers 5, allowing the electric stitcher 6 to move from one pneumatic gripper 5 to another and perform stitching.

[0034] A further optimized solution includes an adjustment component comprising a rotating plate 12 fixedly connected to the end of the arc-shaped guide rail 1. Two rotating plates 12, each with its opposite ends, are rotatably connected to a connecting plate 2 via a rotating shaft. A first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 2 opposite to the rotating plate 12, and the output shaft of the first motor 21 is connected to the rotating shaft for transmission. The first motor 21 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plates 12 to rotate. The two rotating plates 12 stably drive the arc-shaped guide rail 1 to rotate, and the two first motors 21 drive the arc-shaped guide rail 1 to rotate, ensuring that the arc-shaped guide rail 1 is positioned as required.

[0035] A further optimized design includes a clamping assembly comprising a U-shaped groove 3, with the end of the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3 connected to a connecting plate 2, and a lifting plate 31 slidably connected within the U-shaped groove 3. The connecting plate 2 is flush with the end of the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3, allowing the rotating plate 12 to rotate effectively.

[0036] The design has been further optimized, with the two U-shaped grooves having their openings positioned opposite each other at one end. This facilitates installation onto the operating table.

[0037] In a further optimized design, a first slider 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting plate 31. The first slider 32 is slidably connected to a first slide groove 33, which is formed on the vertical plate in the middle of the U-shaped groove 3. The two first slide grooves 33 are arranged opposite to each other. By moving the first slider 32 along the first slide groove 33, the lifting plate 31 can be raised and lowered stably.

[0038] In a further optimized design, a bolt 34 is threaded onto the lower horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3. One end of the bolt 34 extends into the U-shaped groove 3 and abuts against the lifting plate 31. By rotating the bolt 34, the lifting plate 31 can be moved stably up and down within the U-shaped groove 3. When the operating table is positioned between the lifting plate 31 and the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3, rotating the bolt 34 ensures that the lifting plate 31, the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3, and the operating table are tightly abutted, allowing the U-shaped groove 3 to be stably installed on the operating table.

[0039] Working process: When suturing the dura mater is required, rotate bolt 34 to separate the lifting plate 31 from the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3. Then, insert both sides of the operating table between the lifting plate 31 and the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3, and position the connecting plate 2 on both sides of the patient's brain. Then, rotate bolt 34 to ensure that the lifting plate 31, the upper horizontal plate of the U-shaped groove 3, and the operating table are tightly abutted, allowing the U-shaped groove 3 to be stably installed on the operating table. Then, according to the required suturing position, the two first motors 21 drive the arc-shaped guide rail 1 to rotate, positioning it in the required position. Simultaneously, the second motor 41 drives the movable plate 4 to rotate, adjusting the rotation angle of the movable plate 4 to position the suturing part, the grasping part, and the area to be sutured relative to each other. Finally, the movable plate 4 is raised and lowered by the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 11. The pneumatic gripper 5 and the electric suture device 6 are brought close to the area to be sutured. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 45 drives the pneumatic gripper 5 to move closer to the area of ​​the dura mater to be sutured, allowing the pneumatic gripper 5 to grasp the area of ​​the dura mater to be sutured. Then, the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 46 extends, so that the area of ​​the dura mater to be sutured is inside the electric suture device 6. Then, the third motor 42 drives the lead screw 43 to rotate, and the lead screw 43 drives the second slider 44 to move along the second slide groove 47. The second slider 44 drives the third electric telescopic rod 46 to move, and the third electric telescopic rod 46 drives the electric suture device 6 to move, so that the electric suture device 6 sutures the dura mater between the two pneumatic grippers 5. After the suture is completed, the telescopic ends of the first electric telescopic rod 11, the second electric telescopic rod 45, and the third electric telescopic rod 46 are retracted, thus completing the suture work.
