Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a flexible shearing device is provided.
In order to solve the problem of the prior art that rigid minimally invasive surgical instruments cannot cut medical components over long distances, such as cutting out portions of components of instruments that are implanted into the heart through a blood vessel, one embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible cutting device. Medical elements referred to herein include, but are not limited to, wires or rods. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the flexible cutting device includes an actuator 101 that intervenes in human tissue to cut medical elements; an actuator 102 for controlling the actuator movement to switch the actuator between a sheared state and a non-sheared state. The operating mechanism may include a wrench or the like to facilitate manual operation of the actuating mechanism by the healthcare worker. The device also comprises a flexible connecting mechanism 103, wherein one end of the flexible connecting mechanism is connected with the actuating mechanism, and the other end of the flexible connecting mechanism is connected with the operating mechanism. The length and the diameter of the flexible connecting mechanism can be adjusted according to the space of the intervening tissues, namely, the modularized design thought can be adopted, so that the shearing device can be suitable for various operation environments. The control action of the operating mechanism is transmitted to the actuating mechanism through the flexible connecting mechanism so as to control the actuating state of the actuating mechanism, such as switching between a shearing state and a non-shearing state.
Optionally, the actuator 101 includes a lower blade 201, an upper blade 204, and a base 203. As shown in fig. 2, the lower knife 201 is fixedly connected to the left end of the base 203, i.e., the end far away from the medical staff. The top surface of the lower blade 201 is provided with a rotation shaft 202. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the shaft is shown disposed near the middle of the top surface of the lower blade. The upper knife is pivoted with the lower knife through the rotating shaft, the flexible connecting mechanism is connected with one end of the upper knife, and the operating mechanism controls the upper knife to rotate along the rotating shaft through the flexible connecting mechanism so as to control the execution state of the executing mechanism.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the upper blade and the lower blade are provided with wire passing holes 401, 402, respectively, through which the medical element 104 passes and is located between the upper blade opening 403 of the upper blade and the lower blade opening 403 of the lower blade. The dashed line in fig. 4 is the motion track of the cutting edge on the upper cutter around the rotating shaft, and the upper cutter cutting edge can realize the dislocation closure with the lower cutting edge, and the closing gap is small enough, so that the shearing quality of the port is improved. When the medical element needs to be sheared, the length of a force arm from the contact point between the medical element and the upper blade opening to the rotating shaft is C1; the length of a force arm from a connecting point between the flexible connecting mechanism and one end of the upper cutter to the rotating shaft is C2; and C1 is smaller than C2. In a certain shearing state as shown in fig. 4, the length of the arm of force from the contact point between the medical element and the upper blade opening to the rotating shaft is C; the length of a force arm from a connecting point between the flexible connecting mechanism and one end of the upper cutter to the rotating shaft is D; the force arm of the shearing drive force arm is longer than the reaction force of the medical element to the upper knife, and the lever principle is adopted, so that the driving force is reduced, and the shearing operation is easier. The driving force is reduced, so that the force of the driving force on the flexible connecting mechanism is reduced, and the operation effect is prevented from being influenced by excessive deformation of the flexible mechanism.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 4, the lower blade is provided with a relief groove 405 for receiving the medical element and the upper blade edge during cutting. In one embodiment, the upper blade opening and the lower blade opening of the invention realize shearing in a staggered closing mode. That is, when the medical element is sheared, the medical element is broken by the dislocation and closure of the upper blade opening and the lower blade opening. Compared with the extrusion fracture mode, the method can reduce the driving force required by the shearing process, reduce the abrasion loss of the cutter and prolong the service life. In practice, shearing is a phenomenon of relative dislocation deformation of a cross section of a material along the direction of action of a pair of closely spaced, equally-sized, oppositely directed transverse external forces (i.e., forces perpendicular to the action plane). The force that can cause a shear deformation of a material is called shear force or shear force. The section where shear deformation occurs is called a shear plane. The key to determining whether to "shear" is whether the cross-section of the material is relatively dislocated. A schematic diagram of the extrusion break principle is shown in fig. 5, wherein the cutting edge 501 extrudes material 502 onto a support plate 503, by controlling the advancement of the cutting edge 501 to break. The limitation of the extrusion mode fracture material is: the required extrusion force is (1) larger, (2) the angle of taper of the cutting edge is smaller to increase the pressure, resulting in large abrasion of the cutting edge and short service life, and (3) a support structure is required to be provided for the cut material, resulting in larger volume of the operating instrument. The invention adopts the shearing line breaking principle shown in fig. 6, wherein the dislocation F distance of the cutting edges 601 and 602 is distributed on two sides of the wire, and the line breaking is completed through shearing action, so that the invention has the advantage of stable and reliable line breaking for harder wires. In addition, the cutting edge shown in fig. 6 can be in other shapes, and a wedge-shaped structure is preferably adopted instead of a mode like extrusion fracture, so that the pressure intensity of the cutting edge is reduced, and the service life is prolonged. Furthermore, the shearing principle of the invention can protect the knife edge and improve the shearing effect on the ductile material.
Optionally, when the upper blade opening and the lower blade opening are closed, a distance between the upper blade opening and an end surface of the lower blade where the wire passing hole is located is smaller than or equal to a diameter of the medical element. In practice, the length of the broken wire is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of the shearing device. As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the cutting edge of the upper blade and the end surface of the via hole on the lower blade, that is, the distance E shown in fig. 4, is reasonably controlled, so as to shorten the length of the spare wire. In use, dimension E may be designed as desired, and a preferred embodiment of the present invention chooses to have the distance be less than or equal to the diameter of the medical element. Of course other dimensions may be used. According to the shearing principle described above, the scheme of the invention can realize stable and reliable shearing operation, and through design verification, the length of the residual wire can be 0.5mm.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the flexible connection mechanism includes a flexible synchronization tube 301 and a flexible sheath tube 302; the flexible synchronous tube is arranged in the flexible sheath tube and moves in the flexible sheath tube under the control of the operating mechanism. Preferably, the flexible synchronous tube has good tensile property and can synchronously transmit the actions of the operating mechanism in a ratio of 1:1. One end of the flexible synchronous tube is connected with the executing mechanism, and the other end of the flexible synchronous tube is connected with the operating mechanism, so that the operating mechanism synchronously controls the executing mechanism by pulling the flexible synchronous tube, and the executing state of the executing mechanism is switched between shearing and non-shearing. One end of the flexible sheath tube is connected with the actuating mechanism, and the other end of the flexible sheath tube is connected with the operating mechanism and provides support for the flexible synchronous tube. In practice, flexible sheaths must not only have good flexibility in order to be able to adapt to complex human tissue environments, such as the human vascular environment. Meanwhile, the flexible sheath tube also needs to have enough compression resistance, so that the phenomenon that the action of the operation mechanism cannot be synchronously transmitted due to excessive deformation of the flexible sheath tube caused by external force generated during movement of the flexible synchronous tube is avoided, and the shearing effect is influenced.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the flexible connection mechanism includes a flexible synchronization tube and a flexible sheath tube; the flexible synchronous tube is arranged in the flexible sheath tube and can move in the flexible sheath tube; one end of the flexible synchronous tube is connected with the traction arm 406 of the upper knife, and the other end of the flexible synchronous tube is connected with the operating mechanism, so that the operating mechanism can move the flexible synchronous tube in the sheath tube by pulling the flexible synchronous tube, and further pulling the traction arm to rotate the upper knife, so that the actuating mechanism is switched between a shearing state and a non-shearing state. One end of the flexible sheath tube is connected with the end part of the base, which is far away from the lower knife, and the other end of the flexible sheath tube is connected with the operating mechanism and provides support for the flexible synchronous tube.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7, the operating mechanism includes a housing 701 that may be provided in a split arrangement to facilitate manufacturing and assembly. The left and right sides of the housing are provided with sliding grooves 702, and the sliding grooves can be arranged on the housing which is arranged in a left-right split manner. A front seat 703, a rear seat 704 and a handle mechanism are also arranged in the shell; the front seat is fixedly arranged in the shell, and one end of the front seat, which is close to the actuating mechanism, is connected with the flexible sheath (see figure 8); the rear seat is arranged in the shell, the flexible synchronous tube penetrates through the axial inner hole of the front seat and then is connected with one end of the rear seat, and the other end of the rear seat is connected with the handle mechanism; the rear seat can slide along sliding grooves formed in the left side and the right side of the shell, and the handle mechanism drives the rear seat to reciprocate along the sliding grooves to control the flexible synchronous tube to move back and forth, so that the actuating mechanism is pulled to be in a shearing or non-shearing state, such as controlling the upper knife and the lower knife to be in dislocation closing, or enabling the upper knife to be far away from the lower knife.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the handle mechanism includes a link 705, a wrench 706, and a tension spring 707. The wrench is rotatably coupled to the housing, and in one embodiment the rotational coupling point is located at the top of the housing. One side of the portion of the wrench 706 located in the housing is connected to a tension spring, optionally with a hook provided on the wrench, to which the tension spring is hooked. The other end of the tension spring is fixed in the shell, the tension spring is in a stretching state, and a restoring force is always provided for the spanner and used for controlling the handle mechanism to reset. The other side of the part of the wrench in the shell is connected with one end of the connecting rod. The embodiment shown in fig. 7 employs a recess in the end of the connecting rod into which the wrench is rotatably mounted. The other end of the connecting rod is connected with the end part of the rear seat far away from the actuating mechanism. In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, a groove is also provided at the other end of the connecting rod, so that the rear seat is rotatably mounted in the groove.
Optionally, the length of the arm of force between the external force action point on the wrench and the rotational connection point of the wrench and the housing is L1, and the length of the arm of force between the connecting rod and the rotational connection point of the wrench and the housing is L2, where L1 is greater than L2. The working principle of the present invention is illustrated by simplifying the stress state as shown in fig. 8. Under a certain shearing state, the length of a force arm between an external force acting point on the wrench and a rotating connecting point of the wrench and the shell is A, the length of a force arm between the connecting rod and the rotating connecting point of the wrench and the shell is B, and A is larger than B, namely, the flexible synchronous tube is pulled by adopting the lever principle, so that the driving force is reduced, and the acting force on the flexible sheath tube is also reduced. The operation is convenient, and the deformation of the flexible sheath tube is reduced. In addition, the lever structure is matched with the lever structure described above, so that the driving external force can be further reduced, the deformation of the sheath tube is further reduced, the synchronization precision of the operation action of the operating mechanism is improved, and the shearing effect is improved.
According to a second aspect of embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method of using a flexible shearing device, comprising: an actuator that intervenes in human tissue to shear the medical element; an operating mechanism for controlling the movement of the actuator to switch the actuator between a sheared state and a non-sheared state; the device also comprises a flexible connecting mechanism, wherein one end of the flexible connecting mechanism is connected with the executing mechanism, and the other end of the flexible connecting mechanism is connected with the operating mechanism;
