Ophthalmic surgical instrument
Provided is an ophthalmic surgical instrument which can prevent curving of a pipe during a surgical procedure and can pull out a reinforcement sleeve by a required length such that the reinforcement sleeve covers the pipe. An ophthalmic surgical instrument ( 10 ) working in an eyeball includes a body portion ( 15 ) having a through-hole, a reinforcement sleeve ( 13 ) contacting an inner surface of the through-hole of the body portion ( 15 ), a pipe ( 12 ) passing through the inside of the reinforcement sleeve ( 13 ) and having a working portion ( 11 ) protruding from a tip end, and a movement member ( 17 ) connected to the pipe ( 12 ) and sliding in an axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument to slide the pipe ( 12 ). A first slide mechanism allowing the reinforcement sleeve ( 13 ) to slide in the axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument and a second slide mechanism allowing the pipe ( 12 ) to slide in the axial direction of the vitreous forceps are provided. Any one of the first and second slide mechanisms is an independent slide mechanism not influenced by the other slide mechanism.
1. An ophthalmic surgical instrument working in an eyeball, comprising:
a body portion including a through-hole;
a reinforcement sleeve contacting an inner surface of the through-hole of the body portion, the reinforcement sleeve having a slide knob;
a pipe passing through an inside of the reinforcement sleeve and having a working portion protruding from a tip end; and
a movement member connected to the pipe and sliding in an axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument to slide the pipe,
wherein a first slide mechanism allowing the reinforcement sleeve to slide in the axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument coupled with the slide knob, and a second slide mechanism allowing the pipe to slide in the axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument are provided,
the first and second slide mechanisms are an independent slide mechanism not influenced by the other slide mechanism, and
in the second slide mechanism, the movement member is connected to the pipe, and the movement member is connected to an operation portion through a plate spring, and,
a connection portion of the movement member and the pipe is closer, in the axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument, to a base of the ophthalmic surgical instrument than a connection portion of the operation portion and the plate spring is.
2. The ophthalmic surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement sleeve includes a slit in the axial direction.
3. The ophthalmic surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcement sleeve includes a claw portion at a back end position, and
the claw portion contacts an inside of the body portion.
4. The ophthalmic surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein
a metal tip end reinforcement pipe is provided on a tip end side of the reinforcement sleeve, and the pipe penetrates the tip end reinforcement pipe.
5. The ophthalmic surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein
the body portion further includes a slit extending along the axial direction of the ophthalmic surgical instrument and communicating with the through-hole of the body portion and
the slide knob is disposed in the slit of the body portion.
