Wrinkle removal needle set {NEEDLE SET FOR WRINKLE REMOVING SURGICAL OPERATION}

The present invention relates to a set of needles for wrinkle removal procedures, and more particularly, it is used in the Aptos wrinkle removal procedure for removing wrinkles by inserting a special thread into the skin layer of the skin and pulling the skin. The present invention relates to a needle set for removing wrinkles that can minimize damage and damage to nerve tissue.

As interest in skin care grows, the skin on the face and other parts of the body, including loose wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes, nasolabial folds on the sides of the mouth, drooping cheeks and the resulting chin lines in two rows, coarse wrinkles across the neck Procedures for removing wrinkles are emerging one after another. Such wrinkle removal procedures include face lift, filler insertion, botox injection, and laser skin regeneration. Recently, the Aptos treatment method has been in the spotlight as a procedure that can easily remove wrinkles without touching a surgical knife on the face. .

Aptos is a compound word of 'Anti' and 'Ptosis' which means 'preventing sag' in Korean. In other words, the Aptos procedure is a procedure for preventing sagging by spreading wrinkles formed on the skin, and has a feather-like protrusion 210 on a polypropylene thread that has been used for surgical operations such as heart surgery for more than 50 years worldwide. A method of removing the wrinkles by inserting the 'aptos thread' formed in the inner skin layer of the skin which is the source of wrinkles, and allowing the protrusion 210 to pull and tighten the SMAS layer related to the wrinkles under the skin. to be.

Figure 1 schematically shows this aptos method. A brief description of the Aptos procedure with reference to FIG. 1 is as follows. First, the patient is marked with a lattice shape (not shown) so that the patient can insert several Aptos threads in the area where the wrinkle is to be removed, and then partial anesthesia is performed. Next, a guide needle (GUID NEEDLE), which is a hollow tubular needle, and an inner needle (100; INNER NEEDLE), which is inserted into the hollow part of the guide needle and protrudes at the tip of the guide needle, passes through the skin layer and passes. And, as shown in (a) of FIG. 1, the guide needle 10 and the inner teeth in the state combined with the needle to insert into the skin as stitched to the treatment site. The inserted needle passes through the epidermal layer (E), the dermis layer (D), and the subcutaneous tissue (S) layer in turn, and then passes through the skin layers in the reverse order to expose the tip to the outside. Next, as shown in (b) of FIG. 1, the inner needles are removed from the guide needles 10 and separated, the aptose thread is inserted through the hollow of the guide needles 10, and then the guide needles 10 When it is removed from the skin, as shown in (c) of FIG. 1, the Aptos thread is placed under the skin, and the protrusion 210 formed on the surface of the Aptos thread pulls the skin to improve wrinkles.

The Aptos treatment method has no risk of surgery due to local anesthesia, no scars due to no incision, and lasts about 4 to 5 years with 30 minutes of treatment time, avoiding the hassle. It is a great attraction for modern people. The effect of Botox, which gained popularity by simply removing the wrinkles of the glans and the eyes by a single shot, is 5 to 6 months, compared to the short one, and the duration is very long, and there is no change in the shape of the eyes or lips as it does not feel forced. The facial expression is not awkward, and only the needle marks remain after the procedure, which can be covered with makeup, and the needle marks also disappear after about 3 to 4 days.

However, in spite of these advantages, the conventional needles that are currently used at the time of the Aptos treatment have a sharp tip, which can cause a lot of tissue damage when passing through the subcutaneous tissue, and damage to blood vessels can not be avoided. External action may be inconvenient due to prolonged bleeding and prolonged bruising, and reluctance from the procedure due to fear of touching the nerves while passing the needle through the subcutaneous tissue and causing fatal nerve damage. do.

In addition, the practitioner's point of view is that it is impossible to properly measure the depth to which the needle should be passed when passing the needle subcutaneously, so that the intended purpose cannot be achieved when the procedure is carried out too deeply or too shallowly. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that there is always a burden to worry about the depth of the needle passage during the procedure.

The present invention was devised to supplement the problems of the conventional aptose treatment method as described above, and minimizes tissue and blood vessel damage when the needle passes through the subcutaneous tissue to prevent bruising of the skin and prevent fatal nerve damage. An object of the present invention is to provide a needle set for wrinkle removal procedure.

In addition, the guide needle and the inner tooth can be easily combined and separated, and the depth of the needle can be easily judged to reduce the burden on the operator, and the aptose thread can be inserted at an appropriate depth to remove wrinkles to maximize the treatment effect. Another object is to provide a set of surgical needles.

Here, the rear end of the guide needle is provided with a gripping block for gripping the guide needle during the procedure, the gripping block end is opened so that the Aptos thread can be inserted from the outer end, the inside is hollow, the other end is It is in communication with the hollow of the guide needle, the engaging groove and the hook is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the end opening of the gripping block; The rear end portions of the first inner teeth and the second inner teeth are respectively provided with a gripping body, the front side of the gripping body is configured to be sized to fit in the hollow inside the gripping block of the guide needle, the middle of the gripping body It is preferable that the engaging piece which is inserted into the engaging groove formed in the outer peripheral surface of the distal opening of the guide needle and engaged with the engaging ring is protruded from the outer peripheral surface.

The locking groove and the locking ring may be formed by cutting one side of the outer peripheral surface of the gripping block end opening of the guide needle into a 'b' shape.

In addition, it is preferable that the elastic spring is fitted to the front side of the gripping body.

According to the present invention as described above, by minimizing blood vessel and nerve damage in the subcutaneous tissue by varying the inner skin through the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, and subcutaneous tissue during the procedure to prevent bruising of the skin, It can prevent nerve damage, easily combine and separate guide needles and inner teeth, reduce the burden on the operator by judging the depth of needle passing easily, and insert the Aptos thread at the proper depth to improve the effect of the procedure. It has an excellent effect that can be maximized.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, the configuration and operation of the needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention will be described in detail.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the separated state of each needle constituting the needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view of the combined state of each needle of the needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention 4a to 4f sequentially illustrate a method of performing a wrinkle removal procedure using a needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the needle set for removing wrinkles according to the present invention includes a guide needle 10, a first inner needle 110, and a second inner needle 120.

The guide needle 10 is a needle for guiding the Aptos thread 200 by forming a passage of the Aptos thread 200 when the Aptos thread 200 is inserted into the skin layer. Empty hollow microtubules.

As shown in FIG. 2 and already mentioned, the tip of the guide needle 10 is opened to insert the inner teeth to be described later to expose the tip, and at the rear end of the guide needle 10 during the procedure, A gripping block 12 for gripping of 10 is provided.

The gripping block 12 is a block-shaped body configured to be large enough to hold the thumb and the index finger by the operator, the end of which is open so that the aptos seal 200 can be inserted from the outside of the end, and the inside Forms a hollow, and the other end is configured to communicate with the hollow of the guide needle 10.

Meanwhile, a locking groove 14 and a locking ring 16 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the distal opening of the gripping block 12. The locking groove 14 and the locking ring 16 are configured to easily couple the first inner needles 110 and the second inner needles 120 to be described later, as shown in FIG. One end of the outer circumferential surface of 12) is cut into a generally 'b' shape to form the locking groove 14, so that the locking ring 16 is naturally formed. The catching ring 16 has a catching piece (114,124) provided in the first inner needle 110 and / or the second inner needle 120 to be described later is fixed, such a catching ring 16 and the catching piece ( The mutual coupling method of 114 and 124 will be described later.

Guide needle 10 having such a configuration is inserted into the skin layer including the epidermal layer (E), the dermis layer (D), the subcutaneous tissue (S) from one side to the other side, but because the tip is open, it cannot be used independently. In order to pass the respective skin layers, separate inner teeth should be inserted into the hollow inside the guide needle 10. In the present invention, the inner teeth are composed of first inner teeth 110 and second inner teeth 120.

The first inner needle 110 is a needle that assists the guide needle 10 to pass through the epidermal layer E and the dermal layer D of the skin, and is inserted into the inner hollow of the guide needle 10 and used. do.

The epidermal layer (E) of the skin is subdivided into stratum corneum, granule layer, stratum corneum and basal cell layer and consists of four layers of thick keratinocytes (Kreratin), which are harmful substances, pollutants, allergens, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and frameworks. It acts as a body protective film that prevents various harmful substances such as a parasite, and the dermis layer (D) is formed into a fibrous net structure, a jelly-like substance composed of water, proteins such as collagen and elastin, and It is composed of sugar and inorganic salts to supply water and nutrients to the skin.

Since blood vessels and neural tissues are not distributed in the epidermal layer (E) and the dermal layer (D), only the needle marks are left even when the needle passes, and there is no fear of fatal damage, and the fibrous network structure is present. Pointed needles must be used to pass through the dermis layer (D). Therefore, in the needle set according to the present invention, the tip of the first inner teeth 110 used to pass through the dermal layer D is sharply formed as shown in FIG. 2.

Meanwhile, the second inner needle 120 is a needle that assists the guide needle 10 to pass through the subcutaneous tissue S of the skin. Similarly, the second inner needle 120 is inserted into the inner hollow of the guide needle 10 and used. do.

Subcutaneous tissue (S) of the skin is a fat tissue that stores various nutrients and energy, and is a part that performs warmth and shock absorption. Since a variety of nerves and blood vessels are distributed in such subcutaneous tissues (S), when inserted through a pointed needle such as the first inner teeth 110, the blood vessels or nerves may be damaged and bruised on the skin. Fatal nervous system abnormalities can occur.

Therefore, the tip of the second inner needle 120 used to pass the subcutaneous tissue (S) in the needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention is bluntly formed as shown in FIG. As such, even if the tip is formed bluntly, since the subcutaneous tissue (S) is composed of adipose tissue, the second inner needles 120 can easily penetrate and pass therethrough, thereby minimizing damage to blood vessels or nerves. .

In addition, the second inner needles 120, which have blunt ends, may easily pass the subcutaneous tissue (S), but may not easily pass through the epidermal layer (E) or the dermis layer (D), and thus, the second inner needles (120). The depth of the procedure can be easily grasped according to whether or not it passes, and the burden on the operator for the adjustment of the depth of the procedure can be reduced.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, the first inner needles 110 and the second inner needles 120 are inserted into the guide needles 10 and are coupled to each other. In order to firmly couple with), the rear end portions of the first inner teeth 110 and the second inner needles 120 are provided with holding bodies 112 and 122, respectively. Since the configurations of the gripping bodies 112 and 122 provided in the first inner teeth 110 and the second inner teeth 120 are completely the same, a description thereof will be provided below.

The gripping bodies 112 and 122 are formed in the same manner as the gripping block 12 of the guide needle 10 so that the operator easily grips each inner tooth, and the front side of the gripping bodies 112 and 122 is the gripping of the guide needle 10. Consists of a size that can be fitted into the inner hollow of the block 12, it is stepped to form a step on the front outer peripheral surface, the elastic spring 116,126 is fitted to the front outer peripheral surface, the ends of the elastic spring (116,126) This front side outer circumferential surface is supported by the step. In addition, the elastic springs 116 and 126 extend a little further forward and are configured to surround some sections of each inner tooth from the outside.

Meanwhile, the engaging pieces 114 and 124 protrude from the outer circumferential surfaces of the middle parts of the gripping bodies 112 and 122. The protruding piece is configured to insert the inner needles into the guide needles 10 and then to be coupled to each other. 16) is the part to be hooked.

The coupling method between the guide needle and each inner tooth is shown in more detail in FIG. 3. 3A is a cross-sectional view of a guide needle and a first inner tooth coupled state, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of a guide needle and a second inner tooth coupled state.

The coupling method between the guide needle 10 and each inner tooth is as follows. First, the operator grips the gripping bodies 112 and 122 of the inner teeth with the other hand while holding the gripping block 12 of the guide needle 10 with one hand. Then, each inner tooth is pushed into the hollow inside the gripping block 12 of the guide needle 10 and then inserted into the tubular portion of the guide needle 10 in communication with the gripping block 12. When each inner tooth is inserted to the end, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3, the pointed or blunt tip of each inner tooth is exposed to the outside through the tip opening of the guide needle 10. Then, at the rear end of the guide needle 10, the front body of the gripping body (112, 122) of each inner tooth is inserted into the hollow inside the gripping block 12 of the guide needle 10, the gripping body (112, 122) of each inner tooth The elastic springs 116 and 126 fitted to the front side are contracted while being supported on the inner wall of the gripping block 12. In this state, when the gripping bodies 112 and 122 of each of the inner teeth are rotated so that the locking pieces 114 and 124 of the inner teeth move inside the locking groove 14 formed in the gripping block 12 of the guide needle 10. As the catching pieces 114 and 124 are caught and supported by the catching ring 16, the guide needles 10 and the respective inner teeth are firmly coupled to each other.

Due to this coupling, it is possible to prevent the guide needle 10 and the respective inner teeth are separated from each other when passing through the skin layer in a state where they are coupled to each other. On the other hand, if you want to separate each inner tooth from the guide needle 10, the holding body (112, 122) by rotating the holding body (112, 122) of each of the inner teeth so that the locking piece (114,124) exits from the locking groove (14) By means of the restoring force of the elastic springs 116 and 126 fitted to the front side, each of the inner teeth bounces out of the guide needle 10 in an instant, so that each of the inner teeth can be easily separated from the guide needle 10.

So far, the configuration of the needle set for wrinkle removal procedure according to the present invention has been described. Hereinafter, a method of performing a wrinkle removal procedure using the needle set according to the present invention with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4F. It will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the first guide needles 110 having the pointed ends are inserted into the first guide needles 10 and then inserted into one side of the skin of the treatment site to pass through the epidermal layer E and the dermal layer D. Let's do it. Then, when reaching the subcutaneous tissue (S) having a large distribution of blood vessels and nerves, after separating the first inner needle 110 from the guide needle 10, as shown in Figure 4b, the guide needle (10) After inserting and coupling the second inner needle 120 blunt to the tip, and passes the subcutaneous tissue (S).

Then, when reaching the dermis layer D again from the other side of the skin of the treatment site, the second inner needle 120 is separated from the guide needle 10, as shown in Figure 4c, the tip is pointed agent Replace with one inner needle 110 to pass the dermal layer (D) and the epidermal layer (E). In FIG. 4d, the guide needle 10 and the combination of the first inners are passed from one side to the other side of the skin of the treatment site.

In the state as shown in FIG. 4D, after removing the first inner needle 110 from the guide needle 10 and separating the first inner needle 110, as shown in FIG. 4E, the aptose seal 200 is formed through the inner hollow of the guide needle 10. Insert Then, when the guide needle 10 is pulled out of the skin, as shown in Figure 4f, only the Aptos seal 200 remains in the subcutaneous tissue (S) is to pull the skin taut.
