Length adjustable cannula
A length adjustable cannula includes: a pipe-like main body having a through hole formed therein and an outer circumferential surface on which a screw thread is formed; a base grip provided at an end of the main body; an inner support plate provided at another end of the main body; and an outer support plate thread-coupled with the outer circumferential surface of the main body, the outer support plate being movable along the screw thread in a lengthwise direction of the main body. A position of the outer support plate is adjusted based on a distance from an outside skin to a medical treatment region of a human body, such that the outer support plate is brought into contact with the outside skin and the inner support plate is brought into contact with and supported by an inside skin of the human body.
1. A length adjustable cannula to be inserted into a human body when a medical treatment is performed thereon to thereby connect an inside and an outside of the human body, the cannula comprising:
a pipe-like main body extending in a direction of a longitudinal axis positioned therethrough, the pipe-like main body having a through hole formed therein and an outer circumferential surface on which a screw thread is formed, the through hole allowing medical instruments to pass therethrough;
a base grip provided at a first end of the pipe-like main body, the base grip comprising a top surface having a first perimeter made of a first material and a reinforcing layer having a second perimeter made of a second material different from the first material and fixedly-stacked on the top surface of the base grip wherein the second perimeter of the reinforcing layer is fully positioned above the first perimeter of the base grip, wherein the first perimeter and the second perimeter form an outside surface of the first end of the pipe-like main body and the base grip is disposed at an outside of a human body when the cannula is inserted into the human body;
an inner support plate provided at another end of the pipe-like main body, the inner support plate being disposed at an inside of the human body when the cannula is inserted into the human body; and
an outer support plate threadedly coupled with the outer circumferential surface of the pipe-like main body, the outer support plate being movable along the screw thread in a lengthwise direction of the pipe-like main body,
wherein a position of the outer support plate is adjusted based on a distance from an outside skin to a medical treatment region of the human body, such that the outer support plate is brought into contact with the outside skin and the inner support plate is brought into contact with and supported by an inside skin of the human body,
wherein a reinforcing plate is fixed on a surface of the outer support plate facing the outside of the human body when the cannula is inserted into the human body, wherein the reinforcing plate is made of a different material than the outer support plate, and
wherein the inner support plate has a shade-like shape descending toward the outer support plate and two or more grooves are formed on surfaces of the inner support plate.
2. The cannula of claim 1 , wherein a support plate grip is provided at the outer support plate.
3. The cannula of claim 1 , wherein the base grip, the inner support plate and the outer support plate are made of silicon having elasticity, and the pipe-like main body is made of a plastic material.
4. The cannula of claim 1 , wherein a flange configured to extend in one direction, to cover soft tissues formed in a patient's body, and thus to allow an administrator of medicine to facilely secure a clear view is formed at the inner support plate.
