UBE surgical tools-cervical spine protective inverted tooth grasping forceps

Structural features and advantages
Material and process advantages
High-quality stainless steel material: UBE cervical vertebra biting forceps are made of high-quality stainless steel. This material has high strength can withstand the force generated by biting tissues during cervical spine surgery, and is not prone to deformation or damage. Its good corrosion resistance also ensures that the instrument can maintain good performance after long-term use and contact with various body fluids and disinfectants. The complete production process system ensures that each biting force can meet high-quality standards, making its functionality more reliable. For example, in the complex anatomical environment of the cervical spine, high-quality biting forceps can stably perform multiple biting operations without loosening or breaking the forceps head due to material or process problems.
Overload protection device: The overload protection device is a highlight of the instrument. In cervical spine surgery, the biting forceps may encounter various tissues of different hardness and toughness, such as tough cervical ligaments, bone hyperplasia, etc. The overload protection device can effectively prevent damage to the instrument due to excessive force. This not only extends the service life of the instrument and reduces the cost of equipment renewal in hospitals, but also ensures the continuity of operation during surgery. When biting into harder tissue, the overload protection device will automatically limit the force of biting to avoid damage to the clamp head, thereby ensuring that each biting operation can be completed smoothly.
Design advantages that meet the UBE surgical concept
Small and delicate size design: UBE surgery emphasizes the use of small and delicate tools for precise operation, and the 2.5MM×180MM size design fully meets this concept. In cervical spine surgery, the anatomical structure of the cervical spine area is very complex, the peripheral nerves and blood vessels are densely distributed, and the surgical operation space is relatively narrow. The 2.5MM diameter allows the biting forceps to smoothly pass through the UBE surgical channel into the cervical spine, reducing the pressure and damage to the surrounding tissues. The 180MM length provides sufficient extension range for surgical operations, making it convenient for doctors to bite at the appropriate operating position, and can better adapt to the surgical needs of different segments and depths of the cervical spine. For example, in the operation of cervical disc herniation, these small biting forceps can accurately reach the intervertebral disc space and bite the diseased tissue around the protruding nucleus pulposus tissue without interfering with the surrounding nerve roots and blood vessels.
Design features of inverted tooth grasping forceps: The design of inverted tooth grasping forceps has unique advantages in cervical spine surgery. Inverted teeth can enhance the gripping force of the bite forceps on tissues. During the bite-cutting process, especially for some soft or easy-to-slide tissues, such as the nucleus pulposus tissue of the cervical intervertebral disc, degenerative annulus fibrosus fragments, etc., the inverted teeth can effectively prevent the tissue from slipping out of the jaws. This design helps to accurately bite the target tissue and improve surgical efficiency. For example, when cleaning the free nucleus pulposus fragments in the cervical spinal canal, the inverted tooth grasping forceps can firmly grasp the fragments, and then perform bite cutting or removal operations to prevent the fragments from moving in the spinal canal and causing secondary damage to the nerves.
Application scenarios in cervical UBE surgery
Surgery for cervical disc herniation
In the UBE surgical treatment of cervical disc herniation, bite-cutting forceps play an important role. First, after locating the protruding nucleus pulposus tissue through the endoscope, the bite-cutting forceps can use its compact size and inverted tooth grasping forceps design to accurately reach the intervertebral disc space. The inverted teeth can grasp the protruding nucleus pulposus and the surrounding degenerative annulus fibrosus tissue that may compress the nerves, and then perform a bite operation to gradually remove these pathological tissues. In this process, the overload protection device can ensure that the instrument will not be damaged when biting the harder annulus fibrosus tissue, and the high-quality stainless steel material ensures the sharpness and stability of the clamp head, making the biting process more accurate and efficient, thereby reducing the compression of the nerve roots and relieving the patient's upper limb pain, numbness, and other nerve compression symptoms.
Cervical spinal canal decompression surgery
In the UBE surgery of cervical spinal stenosis, the bite forceps are used to bite off the tissue that causes spinal stenosis. For example, in the case of hypertrophy of the yellow ligament in the spinal canal, the bite forceps can smoothly enter the spinal canal through its 2.5MM diameter, use the inverted tooth grasping forceps to grasp the yellow ligament tissue, and then bite and cut to expand the volume of the spinal canal. For the part of the cervical vertebral lamina with bone hyperplasia, the bite forceps can also accurately bite off the hyperplastic bone without damaging the spinal cord and nerve roots. During the entire spinal canal decompression process, the compact and delicate design enables the bite forceps to be flexibly operated in the complex anatomical structure of the cervical spine, while the complete production process and overload protection device ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation, providing reliable protection for the patient's nerve decompression.
Cervical fusion surgery assistance
In the preparation stage of cervical fusion surgery, the bite forceps can be used to clean the soft tissue and part of the bone at the fusion site. For example, when dealing with the cervical facet joint, the bite forceps can use the reverse tooth grasping forceps to grasp the cartilage tissue and a small amount of bone on the surface of the facet joint, and then bite and cut to create a good bone surface environment for the implantation of the fusion device. Its small size ensures that the surrounding nerves and blood vessels will not be damaged during the operation. At the same time, the high-quality stainless steel material and overload protection device can ensure that the bite forceps can work stably when dealing with tissues of different hardness, improve the success rate of the operation, and promote the smooth progress of cervical fusion surgery.
Operation precautions and skills
Operation precautions
Since the UBE operation is performed under endoscopic visualization, it is necessary to ensure that the endoscopic field of view is clear before the operation, so that the relationship between the bite forceps and the surrounding tissues can be accurately observed. During the insertion and operation of the bite forceps, special attention should be paid to avoid damaging important tissues such as nerves and blood vessels. The nerves and blood vessels in the cervical spine area are very dense, and the slightest carelessness may lead to serious consequences. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the overload protection device is working properly to avoid damage to the instrument or injury to the patient due to device failure.
Operation skills
Insertion skills: According to the anatomical path observed by the endoscope and the structural characteristics of the cervical spine at the surgical site, insert the bite forceps at an appropriate angle and direction. Using its compact size, slowly insert along the natural anatomical gap or the established working channel to avoid forcible insertion and damage to surrounding tissues.
Biting skills: When biting tissue, first gently bring the jaws of the bite forceps close to the target tissue, use the inverted tooth grasping forceps design to allow the tissue to fully enter the jaws, and then adjust the bite force appropriately according to the size, texture, and toughness of the tissue. For softer tissues, a smaller bite force can be used to prevent the tissue from being over-extruded and slipping out of the jaws; for harder tissues, such as bone hyperplasia, the bite force can be gradually increased within the allowable range of the overload protection device. During the entire operation, real-time observation with the endoscope should be combined to flexibly adjust the position and operation method of the cutting forceps to achieve the best surgical effect.
