The specific embodiment
The essential meaning that uses suture needle to carry out tissue penetration is that suture is penetrated to wound (or other need suture) both sides, and follow-up suture knotting can be continued.The present invention, by designing a kind of suture needle and Song Zhen mechanism thereof that can accurately control autonomous serpentine track, greatly simplifies the complexity of tissue penetration action, thereby reduces the overall difficulty of sewing up action.
As shown in Figure 3, first preferred embodiment of the present invention is made up of syringe needle 10, needle body 20, place needle tubing 30 and Song Zhen mechanism 40.
Tubulose needle body 20 is made up of the elastomeric material with strong restoring force, and syringe needle 10 is equipped with in its end; Needle body 20 again entirety is through in place needle tubing 30; The propelling movement control of Song Zhen mechanism 40, can realize the action of tissue penetration easily.Tubulose needle body 20, through Technology for Heating Processing, is set as circular arc by its end (near needle end) original-shape.
The restoring force of elastomeric material after distortion mainly determine by two factors, and a factor is the Young's modulus of this elastomeric material, and in the certain situation of deflection, Young's modulus is larger, and deformation-recovery power is just larger; Another factor is the regime of elastic deformation of this elastomeric material, the size of the deflection that namely can reply, and in the situation that Young's modulus is certain, regime of elastic deformation is larger, and deformation-recovery power is also larger.
The Nitinol of certain proportioning, Young's modulus, in 70GPa left and right, is about stainless 1/3rd; And elastic deformation scope (elastic strain) can reach 6%, be about stainless 60 times; Within the scope of elastic deformation, Nitinol needle body can produce the restoring force several times in the rustless steel needle body of same size.
Place needle tubing 30 is rigidity, and its internal diameter is slightly larger than needle body 20 external diameters.The shape of place needle tubing 30 can be linear type or arc line type.
Referring to Fig. 5, on syringe needle 10, have pinprick, be convenient to suture and therefrom pass and be linked on syringe needle 10.Put the first edge on a knife or a pair of scissors into tip, with the tissue that punctures in one end of syringe needle 10; The other end of syringe needle 10 is blunt end, and diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of needle body 20, can be assembled on needle body 20 or from needle body 20 and take off, to coordinate the needs of whole tissue penetration action.The external diameter at syringe needle 10 middle parts is greater than the internal diameter of needle body 20.Between the middle part of syringe needle 10 and blunt end, can be to there is a shoulder, also can adopt pyramidal structure, coordinate with the end of needle body 20, in the time that needle body 20 moves forward, can push syringe needle 10 and move forward together; In the time that needle body 20 moves backward, if the frictional force that syringe needle 10 is organized or be held when fixing will depart from needle body 20.
Song Zhen mechanism 40 can independently control the propelling movement length of needle body 20, makes needle body 20 move or rotate around the axis of place needle tubing 30 along the axis direction of place needle tubing 30.Needle body 20 can be accommodated in place needle tubing 30 acra of needle body 20 along the movement of the axis direction of place needle tubing 30, or is exposed to outside the outlet of place needle tubing 30.Needle body 20 rotates and can make the acra of needle body 20 be exposed to the outlet of place needle tubing 30 with required deflection angle around the axis of place needle tubing 30, aims at more easily the tissue that will sew up.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 4, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, specifically narrate implementation method of the present invention.
1. as shown in Figure 4, needle body 20 is bounced back to place needle tubing 30 inside by Song Zhen mechanism 40, and syringe needle 10 is filled to needle body 20 tops by another operating theater instruments (for example needle forceps), and suture is attached on syringe needle 10.Needle outlet aligning internal organs, the tissue of place needle tubing 30 are needed to the position of sewing up.
Song Zhen mechanism 40 that needle body 20 is combined to syringe needle 10 is extrapolated together.Needle body 20, in the process outwards discharging, is independently replied original circular shape; Under the help of the blade of syringe needle 10, in tissue, pass with arc track, pass tissue from the opposite side that needs suture location.In this process, because suture is linked to syringe needle 10, suture is also taken to the opposite side that needs stitching, as shown in Figure 6.
3. another needle forceps is caught the syringe needle 10 through tissue.Song Zhen mechanism 40 bounces back to needle body 20 outlet of place needle tubing 30, and now syringe needle 10 is pulled away from needle body 20, stays and organizes opposite side, and suture is also stayed the same side of syringe needle 10, as shown in Figure 7.Now needle forceps can be firmly grasped syringe needle 10, and suture was pulled on to tissue.So far completing primary structure penetrates.
4. the top that syringe needle can be filled to needle body 20 with needle forceps for 10 times, is returned to state shown in Fig. 4, to carry out tissue penetration next time.
In Fig. 3~Fig. 7 of the present embodiment, place needle tubing 30 is straight tube-like.In other embodiments, as shown in Fig. 8~Figure 10, place needle tubing 30 ' can be also syphon shape, when the acra of needle body 20 is incorporated in the place needle tubing 30 ' of syphon shape, be subject to the constraint of place needle tubing 30 ' hollow lumen, the acra of needle body 20 will correspondingly become the bending consistent with the hollow lumen of place needle tubing 30 '.
More than describe preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail.The ordinary skill that should be appreciated that this area just can design according to the present invention be made many modifications and variations without creative work.Therefore, all technical staff in the art, all should be in by the determined protection domain of claims under this invention's idea on the basis of existing technology by the available technical scheme of logical analysis, reasoning, or a limited experiment.
