FLUID FLOW METAL SLEEVE

Abstract

A fluid flow metal sleeve includes a sleeve main body and an elongation portion, which are of a hollow structure as a whole. The sleeve main body is connected to the elongation portion in a threaded manner, and a terminal end of the sleeve main body is connected to an ultrasound scalpel handle and enables an ultrasound scalpel to pass therethrough. The fluid flow metal sleeve can control the direction of fluid flow during incision with the ultrasound scalpel so as to achieve the lubricating and cooling effects on a scalpel head. In addition, due to the use of a metal structure, a user can extend an original holding part from an outer portion of the ultrasound scalpel handle to an outer wall of the metal sleeve as required. The fluid flow metal sleeve also has an adjustable telescopic function so as to be adapted to different application scenarios, and limits the length of extension of the scalpel head so as to limit the depth during incision to improve the safety of surgery.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a medical pipeline device, and especially to a fluid flow metal sleeve.

BACKGROUND

In modern clinical medical operations, ultrasound surgical devices have been gradually applied in various fields such as orthopedics, neurosurgery, burns, and ophthalmology. An ultrasound surgical device will have friction on body tissues during an operation and then generate heat. In some applications of surgery, the heat generated by friction may have a positive therapeutic effect, such as hemostatic treatment on a body tissue that is incised, but in most cases, the heat generated by friction will damage cells and tissues, causing postoperative complications to have adverse effects. Therefore, when an ultrasound surgical device is used for surgery, it is generally equipped with a fluid flow system for cooling the friction hot point of the scalpel head by means of a fluid flow sleeve.

Most of the fluid flow sleeves in the prior art are made of polymer materials, and cannot achieve repeated disinfection and reuse, thus having poor environmental protection performance. The sleeve has does not have a part that can be held by the user during the incision, which is easy to cause scald in an improper use. In addition, none of the fluid flow sleeves in the prior art has a length adjustment function and has a tool depth restriction function during the incision, resulting in high risk of injury by incision.
