Detailed Description
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the invention provides a circular tube type anastomat, which comprises an anastomat body, wherein the anastomat body comprises a nail pushing rod, a nail pushing sheet and a nail bin assembly which are sequentially arranged from a proximal end to a distal end, the anastomat body also comprises a nail anvil shaft which is arranged from the proximal end to the distal end of the anastomat body, the nail pushing sheet comprises at least one firing sheet, the nail anvil shaft sequentially penetrates through the nail pushing sheet and the nail pushing rod, the nail anvil shaft comprises a first nail anvil shaft part positioned at the distal end of the nail anvil shaft and a second nail anvil shaft part positioned at the proximal end of the nail anvil shaft, the outer diameter of the first nail anvil shaft part is smaller than the outer diameter of the second nail anvil shaft part, and the nail anvil shaft can move along the axial direction of the anastomat.
Further, the stapler can also include an anvil assembly including an anvil that can be coupled to the distal end of the anvil shaft via an anvil shaft connector, and the anvil can also be coupled directly to the distal end of the anvil shaft. When the nail anvil shaft moves along the axial direction of the anastomat, the nail anvil component is driven to move along the axial direction of the anastomat, so that the nail anvil component is far away from or close to the nail bin.
When the distal end of the firing plate is positioned at the second nail anvil shaft part, the nail pushing rod is not linked with the firing plate, and the anastomat can not fire;
When the distal end of the firing plate is positioned at the first nail anvil shaft part, the nail pushing rod is linked with the firing plate, and the anastomat can fire.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the anvil assembly of the tubular stapler and the stapler body are in an initial state of just successful butt joint, the distance between the anvil assembly and the staple cartridge is larger, at this time, the distance between the anvil assembly and the staple cartridge does not reach a proper position, the distal end of the firing plate is sleeved on the second anvil shaft portion, the proximal end of the firing plate opens to the outer side of the anvil shaft to form a cavity with the anvil shaft, and when the firing rod moves from the proximal end of the stapler to the distal end, the firing rod enters the cavity formed by the proximal end of the firing plate, at this time, the acting force of the handle cannot act on the firing rod through the firing rod, so that the firing rod and the firing rod with the firing plate are not linked, at this time, even if an operator accidentally presses the handle to fire the firing rod, the firing of the stapler cannot be caused, and thus the false firing of the stapler when the operation is not ready to be completed is avoided.
When operation preparation is carried out, the rotary knob is rotated to enable the nail anvil shaft to drive the nail anvil assembly to move towards the proximal end direction of the anastomat, when the distance between the nail anvil assembly and the nail bin reaches a proper position, the distal end of the firing sheet moves from the second nail anvil shaft part to the first nail anvil shaft part, the proximal end of the firing sheet is folded relative to the inner side of the nail anvil shaft direction, and when the nail pushing rod moves towards the distal end direction from the proximal end of the anastomat, the nail pushing rod contacts with the proximal end of the firing sheet and then is linked with the firing sheet, and at the moment, if an operator pushes the handle to fire the nail pushing rod, the anastomat can be fired, so that the normal function of the anastomat is realized. The force of the handle can be transmitted to the nail pushing sheet through the firing bar during linkage, so that the nail pushing sheet moves to the far end.
The structure of the circular tube type anastomat according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the structure of the stapler according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein in fig. 2, one side of the stapler housing is removed and the cartridge assembly is shown separated from the stapler body in order to more clearly show the structure inside the stapler. The anastomat comprises an anastomat body and a nail anvil assembly 8, wherein the anastomat body comprises an anastomat shell 1 and a nail bin assembly 2 positioned at the far end of the anastomat shell 1, the nail bin assembly 2 comprises an annular nail bin and a cutter, the nail bin assembly 2 is provided with a nail pushing sheet 3 and a nail pushing rod 4, and the nail pushing sheet 3 is positioned at the far end of the nail pushing rod 4. When the nail pushing rod 4 is linked with the nail pushing plate 3, the movement of the nail pushing rod 4 to the distal end of the anastomat can drive the nail pushing plate 3 to move to the distal end direction of the anastomat, and when the nail pushing plate 3 moves to the distal end direction of the anastomat, the anastomat and the cutter in the nail bin assembly 2 can be pushed out to anastomose and cut tissues. The anastomat body further comprises a pin anvil shaft 6 which is arranged from the proximal end to the distal end, and the pin anvil shaft 6 is penetrated in the pin pushing rod 4 and the pin pushing sheet 3. In one type of tubular stapler, the anvil assembly 8 includes an anvil shaft connector 82 and an anvil 81 disposed at a distal end of the anvil shaft connector 82, and a proximal end of the anvil shaft connector 82 is connectable to a distal end of the anvil shaft 6. When the anvil assembly 8 is docked with the stapler body, the anvil shaft connector 82 may drive the anvil 81 to move in the axial direction of the anvil shaft connector 82, thereby bringing the anvil assembly 8 closer to or farther from the cartridge assembly 2.
Of course, in another type of tubular stapler, such as the tubular stapler for hemorrhoid surgery described above, the anvil assembly 8 is directly connected to the stapler body, and the anvil assembly 8 cannot be removed from the stapler body, i.e. the anvil assembly 8 does not include the anvil shaft connector 82, and the anvil 81 is directly connected to the distal end of the anvil shaft 6. The present invention will be described with reference to such a stapler.
In the present invention, the distal end and the proximal end are the proximal end with respect to the operator, and the end farther from the operator, i.e., the end closer to the surgical site is the distal end. That is, in this embodiment, since the operator is holding the handle to operate the stapler when using, the end that is biased to the right is the proximal end and the end that is biased to the left is the distal end in the view of fig. 1 and 2. For example, the proximal end 42 of the ejector pin 4 is the end that is offset to the right with respect to the distal end of the ejector pin 4 for the ejector pin 4, and the proximal end of the ejector pin 3 is the end that is offset to the right with respect to the distal end of the ejector pin 3 for the ejector pin 3.
In this embodiment, the stapler further comprises an operating handle 7 pivotally connected to the stapler body, the distal end of the operating handle 7 corresponds to the proximal end of the ejector pin 4, and the rotary motion of the operating handle 7 towards the stapler body can drive the ejector pin 4 to move in a distal direction from the proximal end of the stapler.
The proximal end of the stapler body is further provided with a knob 51, and the knob 51 is connected with the proximal end of the anvil shaft 6 through a screw rod assembly 52. When the knob 51 rotates, the screw rod assembly 52 drives the anvil shaft 6 to axially move relative to the stapler body.
The structure of the circular tube type anastomat shown in fig. 1-2 is only an example, and in practical application, the structure of the circular tube type anastomat is not limited to the structure shown in the drawings, and other forms can be adopted, so that the firing of the anastomat can be realized, and the structure is within the protection scope of the invention.
Further, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the stapler body further includes a pointer 53 and a pull tab 54 positioned within the stapler body, wherein a proximal end of the pull tab 54 is coupled to the lead screw assembly 52 for movement in the axial direction of the lead screw as the lead screw assembly 52 moves. The distal end of the pull tab 54 is opposite the first end of the pointer 53, the first end of the pointer 53 having a first location area and a second location area, where the first end of the pointer 53 refers to the upper end of the pointer 53 in fig. 3. The pointer 53 is pivotally secured to the stapler housing 1, and the first end of the pointer 53 is movable between a first position area and a second position area when rotated.
In this embodiment, when the knob 51 is rotated in a first direction, the lead screw assembly 52 moves the pull tab 54 in a proximal direction of the stapler body, and the distal end of the pull tab 54 pulls the first end of the pointer 53 from the first position area to the second position area. In practice, the first position zone is generally referred to as the initial position zone of the pointer 53, where the distance between the cartridge assembly 2 and the anvil assembly 8 is relatively long and is not in place, and is therefore also an unfired zone, and as the knob 51 is rotated in the first direction, the anvil shaft 6 pulls the anvil 81 toward the stapler so that the distance between the anvil 81 and the cartridge assembly 2 is in place, where the pointer 53 is also pulled by the pull tab 54 to a second position zone, where the operator is allowed to fire the stapler, and the second position zone is also referred to as a cockable zone. Thus, the pointer 53 may be used as an indication of the position of the anvil shaft 6 to indicate whether the stapler has completed surgical preparation, allowing firing.
The manner in which the anvil shaft 6 is moved and the manner in which the position is indicated is merely exemplary and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. For example, the axial movement of anvil shaft 6 may be driven by other means, not necessarily using knob 51 and screw assembly 52 of the present invention, nor does the position of anvil shaft 6 necessarily use pointer 53 to indicate, or may use other means to indicate whether anvil shaft 6 and anvil 81 have reached a cocked position, or not visually.
To avoid the stapler being misfiring when anvil 81 is not moved into place. The invention further improves the anvil shaft 6, the ejector blade 3 and the ejector pin 4. As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the anvil shaft 6 includes a first anvil shaft portion 61 and a second anvil shaft portion 62, the first anvil shaft portion 61 being located at the distal end of the anvil shaft 6 and the second anvil shaft portion 62 being located at the proximal end of the anvil shaft 6. And the outer diameter D1 of the first anvil shaft portion 61 is smaller than the outer diameter D2 of the second anvil shaft portion 62. As shown in fig. 6, the ejector blade 3 includes an ejector pin portion 31 at a distal end of the ejector blade 3 and at least one firing plate 32 at a proximal end of the ejector blade 3. The distal end of the firing plate 32 is connected to the proximal end of the staple pusher 31. In this embodiment, the staple pushing portion 31 and the firing plate 32 are integrally formed, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of firing plates 32 may be selected as desired, such as two, four, six, etc., and are within the scope of the present invention. The area where the first anvil shaft portion 61 and the second anvil shaft portion 62 interface is indicated as a region a in fig. 4 and 5.
Since the outer diameter D1 of the first anvil shaft portion 61 is smaller than the outer diameter D2 of the second anvil shaft portion 62, the distal end of the firing tab 32 will assume different positions when it is sleeved over the first anvil shaft portion 61 and over the second anvil shaft portion 62. As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, a connection portion 63 may be further included between the first anvil shaft portion 61 and the second anvil shaft portion 62, and a surface of the connection portion 63 may be a transition slope inclined toward the second anvil shaft portion 62. The connecting portion 63 is adapted to guide the movement of the blade 3 between the first anvil shaft portion 61 and the second anvil shaft portion 62. The connection portion 63 is not limited to the inclined surface, and may have other shapes such as an arc surface, etc. that can perform a transition function.
The state of the stapler when the distal end of the firing blade 32 is sleeved over the first anvil shaft portion 61 and over the second anvil shaft portion 62 is described below with reference to fig. 7-9 (anvil omitted).
As shown in fig. 7, the area a where the first anvil shaft portion 61 and the second anvil shaft portion 62 meet is located on the left side of the ejector blade 3. When the distal end of the firing plate 32 is sleeved on the second anvil shaft 62, the firing plate 32 is spread due to the larger outer diameter D2 of the second anvil shaft 62, and the proximal end of the firing plate 32 is spread outwards relative to the anvil shaft 6. In this embodiment, a boss 321 facing the axial direction of the anvil shaft 6 is further provided at the distal end of the firing plate 32, and the boss 321 contacts the second anvil shaft 62 to spread the proximal end of the firing plate 32 outward.
As shown in fig. 8, in the state of fig. 7, if the ejector pin 4 moves in the distal direction from the proximal end of the stapler, the ejector pin 4 enters the cavity between the proximal end of the firing plate 3 and the anvil shaft 6, i.e., is in a fail-safe mode, and even if the operator carelessly pushes the handle 7 to push the ejector pin 4 to move in the distal direction from the proximal end of the stapler, the ejector plate 3 is not pushed to fire the stapler, thereby forming a fail-safe state.
As shown in fig. 9, in contrast to the state of fig. 7, the anvil shaft 6 is moved relative to the stapler body in the proximal direction of the stapler body, wherein the area a, where the first anvil shaft portion 61 and the second anvil shaft portion 62 meet, enters the interior of the ejector blade 3. The distal end of the firing plate 32 reaches the first anvil shaft portion 61 from the second anvil shaft portion 62, the boss 321 of the distal end of the firing plate 32 contacts with the first anvil shaft portion 61, and because the outer diameter D1 of the first anvil shaft portion 61 is smaller, the proximal end of the firing plate 32 is folded inwards relative to the anvil shaft 6, and enters the path of the distal movement of the ejector pin 4 from the proximal end to the distal end, when the ejector pin 4 moves from the proximal end to the distal end of the stapler, the ejector pin 4 contacts with the proximal end of the firing plate 32 and then is linked with the firing plate 32, and at this time, the handle 7 is pressed, so that the ejector pin 3 can be driven by the ejector pin 4 to complete the firing of the stapler.
In this embodiment, the portion of the distal end of the firing plate 32 that is connected to the staple pushing portion 31 is an elastic portion to allow the proximal end of the firing plate 32 to open and close relative to the anvil shaft 6. Or the distal end of the firing plate 32 may be pivotally connected to the proximal end of the staple pushing portion 31, i.e., the distal end of the firing plate 32 may be rotatable about a rotational axis relative to the proximal end of the staple pushing portion 31, thereby effecting the opening and closing of the proximal end of the firing plate 32 relative to the anvil shaft 6. Other means of connection between the firing plate 32 and the staple pusher 31 are within the scope of the present invention. It will be appreciated that the staple pusher 3 is generally strong to provide stable force transmission for the firing of the stapler.
In this embodiment, if the position of the anvil shaft 6 is indicated by the pointer 53, the distal end of the firing plate 32 is sleeved on the second anvil shaft 62 when the first end of the pointer 53 is located in the first position area, and the stapler is in a fail-safe state when the first end of the pointer 53 moves from the first position area to the second position area, the anvil shaft 6 moves toward the proximal end of the stapler body, so that the distal end of the firing plate 32 moves from the second anvil shaft 62 to the first anvil shaft 61, and the stapler can be normally fired when the handle 7 is pressed.
There are a wide variety of ways in which the proximal end of the firing plate 32 and the distal end of the push rod 4 can be mated. In this embodiment, the proximal end of the firing plate 32 includes a first mating portion, and the distal end of the staple pusher 4 includes a second mating portion, and when the proximal end of the firing plate 32 is folded inward relative to the anvil shaft 6, the first mating portion is engaged with the second mating portion, so as to realize the linkage between the staple pusher 4 and the firing plate 32 and thus the staple pusher 3.
In this embodiment, the first mating portion includes a protrusion 322 facing the anvil shaft 6, the second mating portion includes a recess 41 corresponding to the protrusion 322, and the protrusion 322 of the firing plate 32 is embedded in the recess 41 of the ejector pin 4 when the proximal end of the firing plate 32 is folded inward relative to the anvil shaft 6. The recess 41 at the distal end of the staple pusher bar 4 may include a plurality of recesses 41 in one-to-one correspondence with the firing plates 32, each recess 41 may be formed slightly larger than the protrusion 322 of the firing plate 32. In other embodiments, the recess 41 of the distal end of the ejector pin 4 may be provided directly as a recessed ring surrounding the ejector pin 4.
In other embodiments, the second mating portion may also include an outward facing protrusion, and the first mating portion includes a groove corresponding to the protrusion. That is, in contrast to the previous embodiment, the protrusions are provided on the staple pusher bar and the recesses are provided on the firing plate. When the proximal end of the firing sheet is folded relative to the axial inner side of the nail anvil, the protrusion of the nail pushing rod is embedded in the groove of the firing sheet.
The circular tube type anastomat provided by the invention has the following advantages:
The invention provides a circular tube type anastomat, wherein when the distance between a nail anvil assembly and a nail bin does not reach a proper position, the distal end of a firing plate is sleeved on a second nail anvil shaft part with a larger outer diameter, the proximal end of the firing plate is propped up and separated from a nail pushing rod, at the moment, the nail pushing rod and the nail pushing plate are not linked, even if an operation handle is held, the nail pushing rod can not push the nail pushing plate and can not cause false firing, when the nail anvil assembly moves to a proper position relative to the nail bin, the distal end of the firing plate is sleeved on a first nail anvil shaft part with a smaller outer diameter, and the proximal end of the firing plate is folded and contacted and matched with the nail pushing rod, so that the nail pushing rod is linked with the nail pushing plate.
The foregoing is a further detailed description of the invention in connection with the preferred embodiments, and it is not intended that the invention be limited to the specific embodiments described. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several simple deductions or substitutions may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these should be considered to be within the scope of the invention.
