MIKROCHIRURGIS CHES INSTRUMENT Die Erfindung betrifft ein mikrochirurgischesInstrument, bestehend aus einer vorzugsweise zylinderförmigen Handhabe, einem sichvon der Handhabe nach vorn erstreckenden Arbeitserde und einem sich von der Handhabenach rückwärts erstreckenden Auflageschaft. MICROSURGERY INSTRUMENT The invention relates to a microsurgical instrumentInstrument, consisting of a preferably cylindrical handle, a selffrom the handle forwardly extending working earth and one from the handleto the rearwardly extending support shaft.
Chirurgische Mikro-Instrumente werden z.B. für G»TäB-, Nerv- oderähnliche Operationen verwendet, bei denen mit Lupe oder Mikroskop gearbeitet wird.Es sind neben .sogenannten flFlachgrj ffinstrumenten und sogenannten l'Rundgriffinstrumenten"auch Mikroinstrumente der eingangs genannten Art {G 80 24 453.7) bekannt.Surgical micro-instruments are used e.g. for G »TäB, nerve orused similar operations that involve working with a magnifying glass or microscope.In addition to so-called flat-handle instruments and so-called round-handle instruments "also known as micro-instruments of the type mentioned (G 80 24 453.7).
Nachteilig ist bei diesen bekannten Instrumenten, daß sie entwedernicht ergonomisch gestaltet sind, d.h., daß sie den Operations ablauf erschwerenundZoder daß sie bei besonders tiefen Eingriffen, z.B. in der Neurochirurg e, mitäußerst begrenzten Arbeitsverhältnissen in der Länge nicht ausreichend sind und/oderstark ermüdend wirken; Ferner erschweren diese Instrumente die Arbeit unter demMikroskop und sie schränken in den meisten Fällen das Blickfeld des Operateurs ein.The disadvantage of these known instruments is that they eitherAre not ergonomically designed, i.e. they complicate the surgical processandZor that they are involved in particularly deep interventions, e.g. in the neurosurgeonextremely limited employment relationships are insufficient in length and / orappear very tiring; Furthermore, these instruments make working under theMicroscope and in most cases they limit the surgeon's field of vision.
Die bekannten Mikro-Instrumente (DE-GM 80 24 453.7) sind bereits fürperiphere mikrochirurgische Eingriffe konstruiert Sie haben aber den Nachteil, daßmit Ihnen in der Tiefe nicht gearbeitet werden kann. Diese Instrumente sind hierfürungeeignet, weil durch sie das Blickfeld durch das über der Operationsstelle stehendeMikroskop eingeschränkt wird.The well-known micro-instruments (DE-GM 80 24 453.7) are already forperipheral microsurgical interventions designed but they have the disadvantage thatyou cannot work with them in depth. These tools are for thisunsuitable because it allows the field of vision to be seen through what is above the surgical siteMicroscope is restricted.
Es sind auch abgekröpfte gerade Instrumente bekannt. Auch diese Instrumentehaben aber den Nachteil/ daß das Cewicht des Instrumentes von den das Instrumentbedienenden Fingern gehalten werden muß, wodurch die Bedienung erschwert wirdDer Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein mikrochirurgisches Instrument dereingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welches ein weitgehend ermüdungsfreies Arbeitenermöglicht und welches das Blickfeld des Operateurs möglichst wenig einschränkt.Dies wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem Instrument der eingangs genannten Art dadurcherreicht, daß das Arbeitsende gegen die Handhabe mit Auflageschaft abgewinkelt ist.Hierdurch läßt sich das Instrument, das zwischen Arbeitsende und Auflageschaft soausbalanciert ist, daß sein Schwerpunkt in der Handhabe liegt, leicht und ermüdungsfreihalten. Das Gewicht- des Instruments wirkt nicht auf die Instrurnentenspitze undmuß nicht von den das Instrument betätigenden Fingerspitzen ständig gehalten werden,was sehr ermüdend ist, sondern es liegt ei auf der ohnehin aufgelegten Hand. Diesermöglicht erstmals ein wirklich entspanntes Arbeiten, wobei das ständige Risiko,daS das Instrument aus den Fingern gleitet, vermieden ist. Das Instrument kann ohnejede Kraftanstrengung gesteuert werden. Durch die schräg nach hinten verlaufendeHandhabe und den Auflageschaft ist die Arbeit durch das Objektiv des über der Operationsstellestehenden Mikroskops nicht beeinträchtigt, und es wird das Blickfeld nicht eingeschränkt.Straight cranked instruments are also known. These instruments toobut have the disadvantage / that the weight of the instrument differs from that of the instrumentoperating fingers must be held, making operation difficultwillThe invention is based on the object of a microsurgical instrument ofTo create the type mentioned at the beginning, which is largely fatigue-free workand which restricts the surgeon's field of vision as little as possible.According to the invention, this is achieved in an instrument of the type mentioned at the outsetachieved that the working end is angled against the handle with support shaft.This allows the instrument between the working end and the support shaft soit is balanced so that its focus is on the handle, light and fatigue-freekeep. The weight of the instrument does not affect the tip of the instrument anddoes not have to be constantly held by the fingertips operating the instrument,which is very tiring, but it lies on the hand that is already on the table. thisenables really relaxed work for the first time, with the constant risk ofthat the instrument slides out of the fingers is avoided. The instrument can do withoutevery effort can be controlled. Due to the sloping backwardsHandle and the support shaft is the work through the lens of the above the surgical siteThe standing microscope is not impaired and the field of view is not restricted.
Dadurch, daS die Ebene der Trennfuge zwischen den beiden Teilen derHandhabe gegenüber der Ebene der Trennfuge zwischen den beiden Branchen - von Auflageschafther gesehen - verdreht, vorzugsweise im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verdreht, angeordnetist, wird eine optimale ergonomische Anordnung der Handhabe zwischen den Fingerndes Operateurs gewahrleiste.Because the plane of the parting line between the two parts of theHandle opposite the plane of the parting line between the two branches - from the support shaftseen from here - twisted, preferably twisted counterclockwise, arrangedis, an optimal ergonomic arrangement of the handle between the fingersof the surgeon.
Die Erfindung ist im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung an Ausfuhrungsbeispielennäher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen: Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht eines Nadelhalters(Schere entsprechend)Fig. 2 eine Seiten- und Draufsicht einer PinzetteFig. 3 eine Seitenansicht eines Dissectors.The invention is illustrated below with reference to the drawings of exemplary embodimentsexplained in more detail. The drawings show: FIG. 1 a side view of a needle holder(Scissors accordingly)Fig. 2 is a side and top view of a pair of tweezers3 is a side view of a dissector.
Fig. 1 zeigt einen Nadelhalter. Mit 1 ist der Auf lageschaft bezeichnet,der sich von der Handhabe 2a und 2b nach rückwärts erstreckt. Am Vorderende derhier zweiteiligen Handhabe 2a und 2b sind die Branchen 3a und 3b winkelförmig angeordnet,welche durch ein Schloß miteinander verbunden sind und am vorderen Ende die Maulhälften5a und 5b haben. Die zweiteilige Handhabe 2a; 2b wird gegen eine dazwischen befindlicheFeder zusammengedrückt und ist im zusammengedrückten Zustand zylindrisch Die aufder Handhabe aufgebrachten Rillen (Längsrändel) sollen ein Abrutschen verhindern.Fig. 1 shows a needle holder. With 1 of the stock is referred to,which extends rearward from the handle 2a and 2b. At the front end of theHere two-part handle 2a and 2b, the branches 3a and 3b are arranged at an angle,which are connected by a lock and at the front end the halves of the mouth5a and 5b have. The two-part handle 2a; 2b is against an intermediateThe spring is compressed and is cylindrical when compressedThe grooves applied to the handle (longitudinal knurl) are intended to prevent slipping.
Durch die in einem Winkel zueinander angeordnete Handhabe mit Auflageschaftund Branchen wird jede Sichtbehinderung verhindert. Auch eine räumliche Beeinträchtigungdurch das Operationsmikroskop ist nicht mehr gegeben, weil Handhabe und Auflageschaftschräg nach hinten am Operationsmikroskop vorbeiführen.Thanks to the handles with support shaft, which are arranged at an angle to one anotherand industries, any visual obstruction is prevented. Also a spatial impairmentthrough the surgical microscope is no longer given because the handle and support shaftMove it diagonally back past the surgical microscope.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine Pinzette mit im wesentlichen denselben merkmalenund Vorteilen des in Fig. 1 gezeigten Nadelhalters. Die Federwirkung auf die Branchenerfolgt hier durch eine mittels einer Einkerbung 6 erreichten Feder im Auflageschaft1. Es ist durchaus möglich auch beiden tige Einkerbungen anzubringen.Fig. 2 shows a pair of tweezers with essentially the same featuresand advantages of the needle holder shown in FIG. The spring effect on the industriestakes place here by means of a notch 6 reached spring in the support shaft1. It is entirely possible to make both-term notches.
Die Draufsicht (A) zeigt deutlich die gegen Schaft und Branchen (1;3> verdrehten Teile der Handhabe.The top view (A) clearly shows the against the shaft and branches (1;3> twisted parts of the handle.
Fig. 3 zeigt die Seitenansicht eines Dissectors. Dieser ist in derRegel ohne bewegliche Teile ausgeführt und besteht aus dem Auflageschaft 1, dereinteiligen Handhabe 2, der Branche 3 und der Dissectorspitze 7.Fig. 3 shows the side view of a dissector. This is in theUsually executed without moving parts and consists of the support shaft 1, theone-piece handle 2, the branch 3 and the dissector tip 7.
Es ist auch durchaus denkbar, die Branche 3 gegenüber der Handhabedrehbar anzuordnen, wodurch eine Anzahl inverschiedene Richtungenweisende Dissectoren eingespart werden könnten.It is also quite conceivable that branch 3 versus handleto be rotatably arranged, whereby a number indifferent directionspointing dissectors could be saved.
Wesenlich ist auch die vorbestimmte und gleiche oder ähnliche Bemaßungder verschiedenen Instrumerte, so daß alle Instrumente in der Handhabung ähnlichsind. Der Operateur hat dadurch ein gleichbleibendes Gefühl beim Arbeiten.The predetermined and identical or similar dimensions are also essentialof the different instruments, so that all instruments are similar in useare. This gives the surgeon a consistent feeling while working.
Ebenfalls von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist die in einem vorbestimmtenWinkel schräg nach hinten verlaufende Handhabe mit Auflageschaft, wodurch das Instrumentabsolut rutschsicher und gut ausbalanciert in der Hand liegt.Also of essential importance is that in a predetermined oneAngle sloping back handle with support shaft, making the instrumentabsolutely non-slip and well balanced in the hand.
Wichtig ist auch, daß bei zweiteiligen Handhaben (2a; 2b) durch diestarre Verbindung der einen Handhabe (2s) mit dem Auflageschaft (1) ein akuratesArbeiten erleichtert ist. Nur der Teil der Arbeitsspritzen bewegt sich bei Betätigungder Handhabe (2), welcher mit der beweglichen Handhabe fest verbunden ist, währendder andere Teil der Arbeitsspitzen sich unter dem Mikroskop nicht bewegt. Dies erleichtertdas Arbeiten unter Mikroskop sehr wesentlich, weil das ständige Lagekorrigierender Arbeitsspitzen wegfällt.It is also important that with two-part handles (2a; 2b) by therigid connection of one handle (2s) with the support shaft (1) an accurateWorking is made easier. Only the part of the working syringes moves when activatedthe handle (2), which is firmly connected to the movable handle, whilethe other part of the working tips does not move under the microscope. This makes it easierWorking under the microscope is very important because you have to constantly correct your positionthe work peaks are eliminated.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Instrument wurde erstmals ein Instrumenterfunden, mit dem ermüdungsfrei gearbeitet werden kann, welches das Sichtfeld desOperateurs nicht einschränkt, welches ausbalanciert in der Hand liegt, deren Arbeitsspitzenbei Betätigung der Handhabe am Arbeitspunkt verweilen, deren Konstruktionsprinzipbzw. Design auf sämtliche für mikrochirurgische Operations abläufe erforderlichenInstrumente anwendbar ist Die gegenüber den Branchen (3a; 3b) verdreht angeordnetenzweiteiligen Handhaben gewäurleisten eine besonders gun stige Lage der Finger desOperateurs auf der Handhabe.An instrument was created for the first time with the instrument according to the inventioninvented, with which fatigue-free work can be carried out, which is the field of vision of theDo not restrict the surgeon, which is balanced in the hand, their work peaksstay at the operating point when operating the handle, its design principleor design on all required for microsurgical operation processesInstruments applicable is those arranged in a twisted manner with respect to the branches (3a; 3b)two-part handle to give a particularly favorable position of the fingers of theSurgeons on the handle.
Auch dies ist für ein reibungsloses. Arbeiten eminent wichtigAgain, this is for a smooth run. Work is extremely important
