UBE surgical instruments - Cervical spine overload device protection ligamentum flavum shearing forceps

Material and craftsmanship advantages
High-quality stainless steel and process guarantee
The UBE cervical bite pliers are made of high-quality stainless steel. This material has excellent strength and corrosion resistance, which can ensure that the bite pliers are not prone to deformation or damage during repeated use and maintain stable mechanical properties. A well-established production process system ensures the consistency and reliability of product quality. In cervical UBE surgery, the bite forceps need to perform precise operations on the tissues within the cervical vertebrae, such as handling bony structures like the lamina and facet joints, or soft tissues like intervertebral discs and ligaments. The high-quality materials and craftsmanship enable the bite forceps to precisely complete these tasks without affecting the surgical outcome due to the defects of the instruments themselves. For instance, when dealing with cervical facet joint hyperplasia, the cutting edge of the bite pliers can remain sharp to accurately bite off the hyperplastic area, creating conditions for nerve decompression.
The function of the overload protection device
Being equipped with an overload protection device is an important feature of the bite pliers. During surgery, when biting tissues of different hardness and toughness, significant resistance may be encountered. Overload protection devices can prevent the biting pliers from being damaged due to excessive force, avoid deformation, breakage or loosening of connecting parts, not only extending the service life of the instruments and reducing medical costs, but also ensuring the smooth progress of the surgery. For instance, when biting the dense bone of the cervical vertebrae, if there is no overload protection, the forceps head may be damaged. With this device, excessive bite force can be detected and restricted in a timely manner, ensuring the safe and effective completion of occlusal surgery.
The design advantages that conform to the UBE surgical concept
Adaptability of small precision instruments
The UBE surgery emphasizes the use of small and exquisite instruments to achieve precise operation. The size design of 2.5MM×180MM perfectly aligns with this concept. In cervical spine surgery, the cervical spine has a complex anatomical structure, rich peripheral nerves and blood vessels, and limited space. The relatively small diameter of 2.5MM enables the occlusal forceps to easily pass through the UBE surgical channel and reach the cervical spine surgical site, while reducing compression and damage to the surrounding tissues. The 180MM length provides an appropriate working distance for the surgery, facilitating doctors to perform occlusal operations in surgical areas of different depths. For instance, for cervical intervertebral disc protrusion accompanied by intervertebral foramen stenosis, occlusal forceps can precisely handle the bone hyperplasia around the intervertebral foramen without causing unnecessary interference to the nerve roots and vertebral arteries.
The precision of endoscopic surgical operations
Based on the feature that UBE surgery is performed under endoscopy, this compact occlusal forceps enables doctors to perform precise operations within a limited field of vision. Under the visualization of an endoscope, doctors can clearly see the positional relationship between the occlusal forceps and the surrounding tissues, and precisely control the direction and depth of the occlusion. For instance, when dealing with hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum within the cervical spinal canal, occlusal forceps can accurately bite off the ligamentum flavum, increase the volume of the spinal canal, relieve symptoms of nerve compression, and do not damage the spinal cord or nerve roots.

The surgical application effect is
Application in decompression surgery
In the decompression surgery for cervical spinal stenosis, the UBE cervical occlusal forceps play a crucial role. They can be used to bite off part of the bone in the lamina, the ligamentum flavum, and the hyperplastic tissue around the intervertebral foramen. Through precise occlusal operations, the space of the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen is effectively expanded, reducing the compression on the spinal cord and nerve roots. For instance, for patients with multi-segment spinal canal stenosis caused by cervical degeneration, occlusal forceps can specifically eliminate the compression factors at different segments and improve the patient's neurological function, such as alleviating symptoms like upper limb pain, numbness, and weakness.
Auxiliary cervical intervertebral disc surgery
In cervical intervertebral disc surgery, occlusal forceps can be used to handle the hyperplastic tissue at the edge of the intervertebral disc, ruptured annulus fibrosus, etc. After the protruding nucleus pulposus is removed, the occlusal forceps can clear and trim the unstable tissues around the intervertebral disc, creating favorable conditions for intervertebral disc repair or subsequent fusion surgery. For instance, when a cervical intervertebral disc ruptures accompanied by partial protrusion of the annulus fibrosus, the occlusal forceps can accurately bite off the protruded annulus fibrosus tissue, preventing it from further stimulating the nerve roots, while providing a relatively stable environment for the healing of the intervertebral disc.
