As shown in fig. 1-3, in the illustrated embodiment, the tissue clamping device 100 generally includes a sleeve assembly 110, a first jaw assembly 120, and a second jaw assembly 130.
In the illustrated embodiment, the sleeve assembly 110 has a passage 111 extending through it from the distal end side to the proximal end side, wherein at least a partial region of the passage 111 is axially divided into an upper chamber 113 and a lower chamber 114. The partial region (distal portion) of the passage 111 is shown as being divided into two chambers, the rear end being left undivided in view of the need to accommodate the haul cable. It should be noted that the illustration is only preferred, and all areas of the channel may be divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber according to actual requirements.
The first and second clip elements 120, 130 are at least partially disposed within the channel 111 of the sleeve element 110 and are distributed within the upper and lower chambers 113, 114 of the sleeve element 110, respectively. By way of example, the two clips of the two clip assemblies 120, 130 may be disposed outside of the sleeve assembly 110, and the connecting arms connecting the clips may be partially or fully disposed within the sleeve assembly 110.
The first and second jaw assemblies 120, 130 are movable proximally and distally relative to the sleeve assembly 110, respectively, to effect tissue clamping upon proximal movement and tissue release upon distal movement. The upper and lower chambers 113 and 114 can be independently opened to independently receive the force of the pushing member 200 to perform the clamping and releasing actions. Through the structural layout of the upper cavity and the lower cavity, the two clamping pieces of the first clamping piece assembly 120 can be opened and closed along the axial direction of the lower cavity, the clamping pieces of the first clamping piece assembly 130 can be opened and closed along the radial direction of the upper cavity, and the whole body is arranged in a T shape, so that the three-point type wound surface closing can be realized. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the upper chamber 113 and the lower chamber 114 are in the upper and lower directions or in the top and bottom directions (e.g., top chamber wall and bottom chamber wall), and the direction perpendicular to the upper chamber 113 and the lower chamber is the left and right directions (e.g., left chamber wall and right chamber wall).
In preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the sleeve assembly 110 includes a sleeve body 115, a spacer 116, and a connector 117. The sleeve body 117 has a passage 111 formed therein. The partition 116 is inserted into the sleeve body 115 to divide the passage 111 in the sleeve body 115 into an upper chamber 113 and a lower chamber 114. After the partition 116 is inserted into the sleeve body 115, it is fixedly connected to the sleeve body 115 by a connecting member 117. By way of example, the connection 117 may be a bolt, a rivet, or the like. During assembly, a through hole may be formed in an outer wall of the sleeve body 115, and the connecting member 117 may be inserted into the through hole to enter the passage of the sleeve body 115 and be connected to the partition 116.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, the left and right walls of the lower chamber 114 are symmetrically provided with a pair of protrusions 114a, 114b. The protrusions 114a, 114b each protrude from the surface of the corresponding chamber wall toward the inner cavity of the lower chamber 114. The first connecting arm 122 of the first clip assembly 120 moves toward the base end side of the lower chamber 114 and passes over the above-mentioned protrusions 114a, 114b until the bent portions 122a, 122b of the first connecting arm 122 engage with the protrusions 114a, 114b, thereby holding the first clip assembly 120 in the clamped state.
In some preferred embodiments, the bottom wall of the lower chamber is provided with a fixing post 114c. The fixing posts 114c prevent the first connecting arms 122 from being excessively pressed by the protrusions 114a and 114b, which in turn causes the first clamping pieces 121a and 121b to be opened. The fastening post 114c may be centrally disposed on the bottom chamber wall, i.e., protruding from the bottom chamber wall toward the inner chamber. The fixing post 114c may be cylindrical in shape. When the fixing post 114c is provided, the connecting member 117 may penetrate the fixing post 114c and be connected with the partition 116.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 5a and 5b, the top wall of the upper chamber 113 is provided with a locking portion 132a near the base end side of the upper chamber 113. The locking portion 132a protrudes from the surface of the ceiling wall into the inner cavity of the upper chamber 113. The second connecting arm 132 of the second clip element 130 moves toward the base end side of the upper chamber 113 until the limit step 113a of the second connecting arm 132 engages with the locking portion 132a, thereby keeping the second clip element 130 in the clipped state. By way of example, the stop step 113a is "T" shaped, i.e., a lug-like structure is provided at the distal end. When the first clamping assembly 130 is moved from the distal side to the proximal side, i.e., the retraction operation is performed to clamp the tissue, the locking portion 132a moves to the position below the lug-shaped structure of the limiting step 113a and cooperates therewith to achieve the locking clamping.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6a, the first jaw assembly 120 includes a pair of first jaws 121a, 121b disposed symmetrically, and a first connecting arm 122 at a base end side of the first jaws 121a, 121b to connect the two first jaws to each other.
In some preferred embodiments, the first connecting arm 122 is made of a resilient material. The first connecting arm 122 includes two open wings connected to the first clamping pieces 121a and 121b, respectively, and an arched bottom. Wherein the portions of the first connecting arm 122 near the first clamping pieces 121a and 121b, i.e., the two wing portions of the opening, are recessed toward each other (or toward the center of the arched bottom) to form bent portions 122a and 122b. The curved portions 122a, 122b can mate with the raised portions 114a, 114b of the inner wall of the lower chamber 144. The first connecting arm 122 has a first engaging portion 122c at the bottom center, and the first engaging portion 122c is detachably connected to the first pull wire 231 for controlling the first clamping pieces 121a and 121b to close and release.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6b, the second clip assembly 130 includes a second clip 131 and a second connecting arm 132 located at a base end side of the second clip 131.
In some preferred embodiments, the second connecting arm 132 is made of a resilient material. The portion of the second connecting arm 132 near the second jaw 131 is bent inward to be in an arc-shaped flaring shape. The second connecting arm 132 is provided with a locking portion 132a at a position close to the proximal end side, the bottom of the second connecting arm 132 is provided with a second locking portion 132b, and the second locking portion 132b is detachably connected to a second traction wire 232 which controls the second clip 131 to clamp and release tissues.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 7a, the distal end sides (i.e. the end sides contacting the tissue) of the first clamping pieces 121a and 121b of the first clamping piece assembly 120 and the second clamping piece 131 of the second clamping piece assembly 130 are provided with clamping hooks to enhance the tissue clamping capability of the two clamping pieces.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 7b, when the two clip assemblies are closed to clamp the tissue, the top hook shapes of the first clip 121a, 121b and the second clip 131 are engaged with each other and are in the same plane, so as to further enhance the tissue clamping capability of the two clip assemblies.
Fig. 8 shows an exploded view of a tissue clamping system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a tissue clamping system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 8 and 9, in the embodiment of the present invention, the tissue fastening system includes the tissue fastening device 100, the pushing member 200 and the operating member 300.
In the illustrated embodiment, the pushing member 200 is used to control the clamping and releasing of the first and second jaw assemblies 120, 130 of the tissue clamping device 100, respectively. The push member 200 has engaging portions 210 that are detachably coupled to the first clip assembly 120 and the second clip assembly 130, respectively.
In the illustrated embodiment, an operating member 300, which is connected to the push member 200, is used to apply a force to the push member 200. The operating member 300 applies a force to the pushing member 200 to control the movement of the pushing member 200, and as the pushing member 200 moves, the first and second jaw assemblies 120, 130 of the tissue fastening device are clamped and released. When a tensile force applied to the push member 200 is greater than the coupling force between the first and second clip assemblies 120 and 130, the first and second clip assemblies 120 and 130 are separated from the coupling portions 210 of the push member 200, respectively.
In some preferred embodiments, in conjunction with the above-described fig. 4 and 5, the pushing member 200 includes an outer sheath 220 and a pull wire assembly 230. The outer sheath 220 has a lumen extending therethrough from the distal end side to the proximal end side, and the traction wire unit 230 is inserted into the lumen of the outer sheath 200 so as to be able to advance and retreat. By way of example, the tow wire assembly includes a first tow wire 231 and a second tow wire 232. A first coupling portion 210a is provided at a distal end side (i.e., an end close to the first clip assembly 120) of the first traction wire 231, and the first coupling portion 210a is detachably coupled to a first catching portion 122c provided at a bottom center of the first coupling arm 122. A second coupling portion 210b is provided at a distal end side (i.e., an end close to the second clip assembly 130) of the second traction wire 232, and the second coupling portion 210b is detachably coupled to a second catching portion 132b provided at a bottom center of the second connecting arm 132.
In some preferred embodiments, the coupling portion 210 is a snap pin. As shown in fig. 6, the first clip portion 122c and the second clip portion 132b are open-loop holes having open ends. The clamping bolt is connected with the open-loop hole, and when the acting force applied to the pushing component 200 by the control component 300 is greater than the deformation limit of the open-loop hole, the clamping bolt slides out of the open-loop hole, so that the tissue clamping and closing device 100 is separated from the pushing component 200.
In the illustrated embodiment, the operation member 300 is provided on the base end side of the pushing member 200. The operation member 300 includes an operation portion main body 310 and a slider 320. The operation portion main body 310 is attached to the proximal end side of the pushing member 200, and the operation portion main body 310 is provided with a window 330. The slider 320 is connected to the wire assembly of the pushing member 200, is fitted into the window 330 of the operation portion main body 310, and is provided so as to be slidable in the axial direction with respect to the operation portion main body 310. When the sliding member 320 slides in the axial direction, it drives the traction wire assembly to advance and retreat, thereby clamping and releasing the tissue clamping device. Since the pushing member 200 of the embodiment of the present invention needs to independently perform the clamping/releasing operation on the first clamping assembly 120 and the second clamping assembly 130, the sliding member 320 should also be independently disposed, and includes a first sliding member 320a and a second sliding member 320b, which respectively control the connection between the first clamping assembly 120 and the second clamping assembly 130. As shown in FIG. 9, first slider 320a has been withdrawn from the open loop aperture of first clamping assembly 120, effecting separation of first clamping assembly 120 from the tissue clamping system.
In some preferred embodiments, the tail of the main body 310 is provided with a finger hook for facilitating the holding of the tissue clamping system. The slider 320 may also be provided with a finger hook portion to facilitate the advancing and retreating operations.
