Abstract

A surgical instrument includes a rod and a push portion. The push portion includes a first end connected to an end of the rod and a second end having a blade portion. The push portion includes a plurality of grooves. The plurality of grooves is recessed in a surface of the push portion and is spaced from each other. Each two adjacent grooves has a rib formed therebetween. A top face of a cross section of each rib is the surface of the push portion. Each rib has a guiding face on the cross section of the push portion. The guiding face is connected to the surface of the push portion. The guiding face faces a rotating direction of the rod. An angle between the guiding face and the surface of the push portion in the cross section is greater than 90°.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A surgical instrument comprising:
a rod including two ends and an axis passing through the two ends, wherein the axis is a rotating axis of the rod; a push portion having a first end connected to one of the two ends of the rod, wherein the push portion includes a second end having a blade portion, wherein the push portion includes a plurality of grooves, wherein the plurality of grooves is recessed in a surface of the push portion, wherein the plurality of grooves is spaced from each other, wherein a rib is formed between a pair of adjacent grooves of the plurality of grooves, wherein a top face of a cross section of each rib is the surface of the push portion, wherein each rib has a guiding face on the cross section of the push portion, wherein the guiding face is connected to the surface of the push portion, wherein the guiding face faces a rotating direction, and wherein an angle between the guiding face and the surface of the push portion in the cross section is greater than 90°; and two guiding members, wherein each guiding member includes a connecting stem and two sockets disposed at two ends of the connecting stem respectively, wherein the two sockets disposed at the two ends of the connecting stem have different inner diameters, and wherein an inner diameter of the sockets on one of the two guiding members corresponds to or is slightly greater than an outer diameter of one of the sockets of another of the two guiding members.

2 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of grooves extends in a direction which is at an angle of 1°-45° to the axis.

3 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the push portion has a diameter that gradually decreases from the first end towards the second end.

4 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a tapered surface of the push portion is at an angle of 1°-16° to the axis.

5 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a limiting member coupled to an outer surface of the rod and axially slidable relative to the rod, wherein the limiting member includes a positioning portion configured to position the limiting member in a predetermined location on the rod.

6 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the limiting member is an annular member, wherein the positioning portion includes a bolt and a screw hole, wherein the screw hole extends from an inner surface through an outer surface of the limiting member, and wherein the bolt engages with the screw hole and abuts the rod.

7 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a socket, wherein the socket includes an abutting end and an inseliion end, and wherein the rod and the push portion are configured to be inserted into the insertion end.

8 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the abutting end includes an end edge having a plurality of abutting portions, and wherein the plurality of abutting portions is a plurality of protrusive teeth or a plurality of recessions.

9 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the socket includes a disengagement prevention portion on an outer periphery thereof, and wherein the disengagement prevention poliion is a plurality of annular portions protruding in a radial direction.

10 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the disengagement prevention portion includes a single-direction inclined surface.

11 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the socket includes an abutting end and an insertion end, wherein the rod is configured to be inserted into the insertion end, wherein the abutting end includes an end edge having a plurality of abutting portions, and wherein the plurality of abutting portions is a plurality of protrusive teeth or a plurality of recessions.

12 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the socket includes a disengagement prevention portion on an outer periphery thereof, and wherein the disengagement prevention portion is a plurality of annular portions prnlnlding in a radial direction.

13 . The surgical instrument as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the disengagement prevention portion includes a single-direction inclined surface.
