Description

1.発明の背景
本発明は、やじり付組織コネクタの挿入装置を有するやじり付組織コネクタに関し、さらに詳細に説明すると身体の傷を迅速にさらに有効に閉鎖するように使用することができるやじり付組織コネクタ及び挿入装置に関する。
2.従来技術の説明
人間の傷は、通常、一端に取り付けられた針によって組織にフィラメントを導入して治療される。針が傷の両面に貫通された後、針が取り外され、縫合線の両端が少なくとも3つの結び目で一緒に結合される。このような技術はかなりの時間と外科分野での経験を必要とする。またこのような方法で傷を治療するためには多数の欠点がある。例えば、縫合糸を適当に操作するには空隙が不十分である場合、特に、光ファイバを使用して傷を治療しなければならない場合には非常に困難である。縫合糸が結ばれるとき縫合糸はループを形成し、このループは、その境界内で組織への血流を制限し、傷の境界の壊死を促進する。さらに、針の経路が非円形である場合には、組織は、それが縫合糸によって固定されるときにゆがむ。
従来の縫合糸の別の例が従来技術に示されている。示すように、例えばグリーンに対する米国特許第4,994,073号に示されたステイプルは、皮相に近い傷に使用される。しかしながら、ステープルは、組織の深い層には適当ではない。
アルカモに対する米国特許第3,123,077号は、組織を1つの方向に通過することができるが他方向の動きには抵抗する粗い構造を示す。しかしながらアルカモ縫合糸は、従来の技術によって縫わなければならず、後端を結び目で固定しなければならない。よって、傷の中で縫合糸はあまり滑らない、上述した縫合糸の欠点の大部分は、アルカモの縫合糸でも見いだされる。
タナーに対する米国特許第3,716,058号は、弧状本体の両端に1つまたはそれ以上のやじり部分を有する比較的剛性の縫合糸を示している。この縫合糸は、ノッチとスロットが付ついているニードルによって挿入される。タナの縫合糸の1つの欠点は、縫合糸が挿入されたときにニードルから突出している剛性のやじりが組織を引き裂き、後退再位置決めを防止することである。さらに、やじりは縫合糸の端部にのみ配置されるので、やじりによって組織に加えられる力は比較的に狭い領域に制限され、これはやじりがからんだ血管への圧力を増大して、その領域への血流を制限する。
縫合糸よりもさらに迅速に配置され、自己保持し、組織のゆがみを無くし、従来の手順では接近できない組織に接近し、保持力を広く配分すことによって血流を保持する組織コネクタが必要になることは前述した内容から明らかであろう。
発明の概要
本発明の目的は、従来技術の前述した問題を克服して改良された組織コネクタ及び組織コネクタと共に使用する挿入装置を提供することである。
本発明によれば、一端に先端部が形成されており、軸線方向の力が加えられたときに先端部が組織を貫通し、前記コネクタを組織に挿入することができるように十分に堅い材料で形成されている細長い本体と、本体から突出している複数のやじりであって、前記一端に隣接する位置から前記本体の所定の場所に伸びている本体の所定の長さに沿って前記本体の周囲に配置されており、前記本体に向かう方向にたわむことができると共に反対方法に剛性であるような形状であり、たわんだ後に所定の位置まで戻るように十分に弾性を有する複数のやじりとを有するやじり付組織コネクタとコネクタと共に使用する挿入装置が提供される。
やじり付組織コネクタと共に使用する挿入装置は、やじり付組織コネクタを受けるように十分な寸法の内部空間を有し、開口部を有する前端及び開口部を有する後端を有し、前記前端の開口部は、コネクタを引き出すことができるように十分に大きい管状本体を有する。
本発明の1つの実施例において、やじり付き組織コネクタは、細長い本体と、該本体に螺旋状パターンで配置され、コネクタの先端部から本体の所定の位置にかけて配置された複数のやじりとを有する。各やじりは、本体に対して鈍角をなす第1の側部と、本体に対して鋭角をなす第2の側部とを有する。本体はほぼ剛性であり、たわんだ後に所定の点まで戻る十分な弾性を有する。傷を治療するためにコネクタが皮膚に挿入されたときに、先端部が組織を貫通し、やじりが本体に向かってたわんでコネクタの侵入を容易にする。
本発明の他の実施例において、やじり付組織コネクタの挿入装置は、管状本体を有し、該管状本体は、先端が管状本体の開放した前縁から突出した状態でやじり付組織コネクタを受け入れるようになっている。挿入装置及び該挿入装置内のコネクタは、該コネクタのやじりの少なくとも一つが組織に係合して、挿入装置が組織から後退し、コネクタを所定の位置に残すように組織内に配置される。
コネクタが組織の所望の位置に配置されたとき、やじりはこの位置から離れる動きに対して強く抵抗する。コネクタは、該コネクタを手で把持しコネクタを組織の中に押し込むことによって挿入するか、またはコネクタが所定の位置に配置されたときに引き抜かれる挿入装置によって挿入することができる。
本発明のやじり付組織コネクタの主な利点は、個々のステッチを縫うか、または結びを作るか、またはコネクタを挿入するために複雑で細長い工具を使用するようなことなく人間の組織の傷の縁部を迅速に固定する外科手術を可能にすることである。コネクタ及び挿入装置は、挿入したとき組織に対するゆがみ及び損傷を最小限にし、傷の傷跡または組織の壊疽を最小限にするように形成される。コネクタは傷の表面に挿入され、深い傷の底で組織を接続し、ステープルに接近できない組織を接続するために使用することができる。最後に、本発明のコネクタは、挿入装置を使用してまたは使用しないでコネクタに迅速の正確に挿入するために、例えば、内視鏡を使用しての手術の間に小さい開口部のみからまたは一方向のみから組織に接近する外科医によって使用することができる。
他の特徴及び利点は、添付図面を参照するとき、好ましい実施例の次の説明を参照したときに明らかになる。

好ましい実施例の説明
本発明は、外科医が、個々のステッチを縫うか結び、またはコネクタを挿入するために複雑で細長い工具を使用することなく人間の組織の傷の縁部を迅速に固定する外科手術を行うことを可能にする。本明細書中の用語“傷”は、切り傷、裂傷、切断、または、やじり、ステープルまたは他の組織接続装置の使用が必要となる他の状態を意味する。
第1図及び第2図を参照すると、本発明によって構成されたやじり付組織コネクタ2が示されている。コネクタ2は、断面がほぼ円形である本体4と、本体4の周囲に伸びている、互いに接近して配置された複数のやじり6とを有する。コネクタ2が組織に侵入することを容易にするために先端部分9が本体4に形成されている。本体4は、使用中にほぼ剛性の形状をとるように十分な寸法上の安定性を有し、たわんで後にその形状から所定の形状に戻るように十分な弾性を有する。いくつかの適用例においては、挿入されたコネクタの形状が周囲の組織によって決定されるように可撓性を有し、非弾性的であることが望ましい。
やじり6は、コネクタ2を組織内に保持し、コネクタが組織から後退することに抵抗するように作用する。やじり6は、適当な形状で、例えば、第1図に示すような螺旋パターンに配列することができる。やじり6の螺旋配列パターンにおいて、螺旋一回転に含まれるやじりの数は、整数でなく、それによってやじりの軸線方向に平行な列が形成されることを避けることが好ましく、このような構成は組織に作用する力をさらに均一に分配し、挿入されたコネクタ2が組織を切断する傾向を低減する。螺旋一回転に含まれるやじりの数が整数ではない場合、連続した回転においてやじりは第2図に示すようにずれており、ずれの量はやじりが軸線方向に整合するかどうかを決定する。例えば、連続的に回転するやじりが1/2だけずれている場合、やじりは二番目の回転毎に軸線方向に整合するが、これを拡張して、各連続した回転のやじりが1/xだけずれている場合には、やじりはx回転毎に軸線方向に整合することになる。
第1図に示すように、各やじり6は、本体4と角度αの鈍角をなす第1の側部8と、本体4と鋭角をなす第2の側部10とを有する。各やじりは点7まで傾斜しており、第1の側部8の角度αと第2の側部の角度βとの間の差の量は、やじりの傾斜量を制御する。広い基部から狭い先端まで傾斜するやじり6は、後退時に抵抗する上で有効であり、挿入中に本体に向かってたわみ、コネクタ2の挿入を容易にし組織の損傷を低減する。やじり6は第1図に示すように全体が円錐形をしている。また、やじり6は、円錐形のやじりと同じように作用する別の形状に形成することができる。
やじり6の形状及びやじりの表面積は、コネクタ2を使用する組織に依存して変化する。やじり6の特性は、比較的一定であるが、やじりの全長及びやじり間の空隙は、接続する組織によって決定される。もしコネクタ2が皮膚または腱の傷の縁部を接続するために使用する場合には、各やじり6は、むしろ堅い組織に容易に入り込むようにするために比較的に短くつくることができる。コネクタ2を比較的に柔らかい脂肪の多い組織で使用しようとする場合には、柔らかい組織で保持能力を高めるためにやじりは長く、さらにやじり間の間隔を離すようにつくることができる。
第1図に示すように、コネクタ2上のやじり6は、一様な単一形状を有しているが、すなわち、やじり6は、本体上で一様な間隔であり、すべての側部8は、同じ方向を向いており、先端部分9に面している。コネクタ2は、各やじり6の側部8が動く(挿入)方向に面した状態で、組織に挿入することができる。コネクタ2は、挿入する方向に組織が動くことを防止する。互いに隣接して反対方向に挿入された一対のコネクタ2は、傷を横切るいづれかの方向に組織が動くことを防止する。
コネクタ2は、軸線方向の十分な力が本体4に適用されるときの、点9が組織を貫通し、組織にコネクタを挿入することができる十分に堅い材料で形成することができる。コネクタ2は、ポリグリコール酸またはポリ乳酸ポリマーまたはコポリマーのような生体吸収性の成分から製造することが好ましい。生体吸収性の材料を使用することにより、コネクタを患者から抜き取る必要性を無くす。コネクタを患者から抜き取ることは、苦痛を伴い危険である。コネクタ2は例えば射出成形によって形成することができる。
筋肉組織で使用するコネクタ2の1つの代表的な例において、本体4は、ポリグリコール酸から形成され、長さ1乃至5cm、及び直径約1mmである。やじり6の点7の周の直径は、約3mmであり、やじりは、1mmの間隔をおいて本体4上に配置される。側部8は本体4に対して135°の角度をなし、側部10は、本体4に対して75°の角度をなす。
第3図において、やじり16がやじり付組織コネクタ12で一様な双方向の形状に配置されている、本発明の第2の実施例が示されている。やじり16は、コネクタ2上のやじり6と同じ方法で製造されている。コネクタ12上のやじり15の第1の組は、螺旋パターンに配置され、先端部20に向いており、コネクタ12上のやじり16の第2の組は、螺旋パターンに配置され、先端部21に向いている。この先端部20,21の各々はコネクタを使用する組織に容易に侵入するように十分に堅く且つ鋭く形成される。コネクタ12は、傷の縁部が分離する傾向がある場合にときに適している。コネクタ12は、端部、例えば端部20を傷の第1の側(図示せず)に挿入し、コネクタ12の端部21を傷の第2の側に挿入し、傷の縁部を一緒に押すことによって使用することができる。コネクタ12の端部のやじり15及び16は、傷の各側で組織を把持し、傷の縁部が離れることを防止する。
第4図を参照すると、やじり付組織コネクタ22が一様でない双方向の形状を有する、本発明の他の実施例が示されている。コネクタ22は、先端部23と、第1の方向に面する1つまたはそれ以上のやじり26と、第2の方向に面する1つまたはそれ以上のやじり27とを有する。各軸線方向において、円周方向に間隔を置いた所定の数、例えば、4乃至9個のやじり26または27がある。コネクタ22を組織に挿入するために、外科医は、以下に説明するような挿入装置80を使用する。コネクタ22のやじり26及び27の配置は、コネクタに対する軸線方向の組織の局所的な動きを防止する。
第5図を参照すると、やじり付の組織コネクタ32が一様な双方向の形状を有する、本発明の他の実施例が示されている。コネクタ32は先端部33及び35を備えた本体34を有する。先端部33に隣接した、軸線方向に間隔を置いて配置した複数のやじり36は端部35に向いており、先端部35に隣接した、軸線方向に間隔を置いて配置した複数のやじり37は端部33に向いている。やじり36及び37は、各軸線方向において本体34の周りで円周方向に間隔を置いて配置されるか、または、同じ構造で、コネクタ2上のやじり6と同じパターンで配置される。コネクタ32を挿入するために、外科医は以下に説明するような挿入装置を使用する。コネクタ32の本体34が十分な剛性を有する場合には、コネクタ32はやじり36によって保持された組織が端部35に向かって移動し、やじり37によって保持された組織が端部33に向かって移動することを防止する。コネクタの一端部のみを鋭くしなければならないが、挿入装置から突出している先端部分を備えている挿入装置80の中でのコネクタ32の方向を保証するために外科医が時間をとる必要がないように、2つの先端部が鋭いことが必要である。
第6図及び第7図を参照すると、やじり付組織コネクタ42は、組織に侵入する先端部分45を備えた本体44を有する。本体44の反対の端部にヘッド47が形成されている。各軸線方向位置において円周方向に間隔を置いた複数のやじり46が本体44に形成されている。第7図に示されているように、3個のやじりが各軸線方向位置に形成されている。しかしながら、ある用途のために3個以上またはそれ未満のやじり46を使用することもできる。やじり46は本体44に対して鈍角に形成された第1の側部48と、鋭角に本体44から突出している第2の側部49とを有する。コネクタ42は、ヘッド47に力を加えることによって組織に押し込むことができる。コネクタ42は手によって挿入するか、あるいは以下に説明するように挿入装置80を使用することによって挿入することができる。
コネクタ42は、全体を生体吸収性材料で形成することができ、ヘッド47及び本体44は、異なる材料で構成することができる。例えば、本体44は、生体吸収性材料で製造することができ、ヘッド47を優れた強度を有するように、またコネクタ42の挿入を容易にするために金属で構成することができる。ヘッド47は、第6図に示すように平坦に製造されるか、またはヘッドは、やじり46の向きとは反対の向きに面するやじりの1つのリング(図示せず)によって形成することができる。
使用において、縁部に沿ってまた皮膚の植皮の領域の組織に一連のコネクタ42を挿入することができる。適当な時間が経過して傷が治癒した後に、各ヘッド47の下の組織がわずかに押され、ヘッド47が本体44から切断できるようになる。組織が本体の切断端部上に盛り上がる。このような処理は、組織を通る長期間の突出から来る傷跡を減少させ、患者からコネクタ42を除去する必要性を無くす。
第8図及び第9図を参照すると、やじり付組織コネクタ52が一様な単一方向の形状を有する、本発明の他の実施例が示される。コネクタ52は、非円形の断面形状の本体54を有する。本体54は、断面がほぼ三角形であると共に一連の軸線方向の場所で本体の周囲に等間隔に配置された複数のやじり56を有する。やじり56の各々は、本体54に対して鈍角に配置された第1の側部58と、本体に対して鋭角に配置された第2の側部60とを有する。本体54は組織に容易に入り込むように先端部分53を有する。非円形の断面形状を使用することによって、コネクタ52の表面積を増大し、コネクタ上の複数のやじりの形成を容易にする。例えば、やじり56は、材料の3つの縁部から連続した軸線方向の場所で材料を除去することによって三角形の断面を有する材料の一片に形成することができる。異なる断面(図示せず)、例えば、矩形または6角形の断面や材料にやじりを形成するために同様の処理を使用できることは明らかである。
コネクタ2及び42のような示したコネクタの使用において、外科医は、一方の手でコネクタを持ち、コネクタを組織に押し込むことができる。コネクタを組織に直接挿入する別の例として、外科医は第10図及び第11図に示すような挿入装置80を使用することができる。挿入装置80は、円形の管状本体82を有する。管状本体82は、軸線方向においてほぼ弧状に湾曲しており、少なくともやじり組織コネクタCを含むように十分に長い。装置80は、内側に傾斜した前端84と、外側に傾斜した広がった後端86とを有する。外科医が挿入装置を操作することができるように後端に隣接した本体82にハンドル83が設けられている。
コネクタC及び装置80を組織に容易に挿入することができるように、コネクタCは管状本体82内に配置され、コネクタCの先端部Pは、前端84から伸びている。好ましい実施例において、本体82の内径は、コネクタCの外径よりわずかに小さくつくられ、その結果、本体82内のコネクタCのやじりBは、本体に対して押され、その結果、組織内への挿入中にコネクタCが本体82内に保持され、点Pは本体82の外側に適当に配置される。またコネクタCは、本体82内に配置され、本体82の外側のやじりBは、挿入中にコネクタCが本体82に押し戻されないようにする。装置80の1つの用途において、外科医はコネクタCが所望の位置、例えば、第11図に示す位置に達するまで患者の組織87にコネクタCを有する本体82を挿入する。装置80は、矢印90の方向に引き抜かれ、コネクタCのやじりBは組織に侵入し、組織87を捕捉してコネクタCを挿入位置に保持する。
挿入装置80の使用は、コネクタ22、32のように、コネクタCが一方向以上に面する複数のやじりを有するとき、またはコネクタが追加の支持体なしに挿入することができるように十分に可撓性であるときに特に推薦される。
ある好ましい実施例に関して本発明を説明したが、本発明の精神及び範囲から逸脱することなく構造の詳細、部品の配置及び組み合わせ及び材料のタイプにおいて種々の変形例が可能であることは理解できよう。
