Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surgical introducer for easier insertion of instruments into a trocar. Further, the present invention relates to a trocar for insertion into an accessway opened to a human or animal body comprising a proximal and a distal end and a trocar port extending from the proximal to the distal end.
  • Trocars of the type described above are used in particular for minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. They are known as disposable or reusable products and are standard equipment in general surgery.
  • trocars have the function of closing the access opening to the body in a gastight manner, regardless of whether or not instruments have been introduced into the body through the trocar, ie through its trocar opening. This is necessary because typically the body is inflated by introducing an inert gas to provide more space for making the required surgical procedure.
  • a trocar therefore includes a seal, for example in the form of a flap valve or a ball valve, to prevent leakage of the gas introduced into the body of the patient.
  • a surgical insertion for easier insertion of instruments into a trocar comprising an instrument guide and a connecting device for fixing the insertion of a trocar.
  • the instrument guide comprises a passage opening for insertion of an instrument through the insertion aid into a trocar connected thereto.
  • an instrument shaft or an endoscope shaft can be easily and safely inserted through the passage opening, for example into the trocar opening of the trocar.
  • a passage opening limiting sealing element is provided.
  • additional sealing of the inserted instrument or endoscope is achieved at the trocar when the introducer is connected to the trocar.
  • gas loss during the surgical procedure can be minimized.
  • the sealing element can also take over the function of the sealing lip of the trocar, if it is damaged during the procedure as a result of the insertion and withdrawal of instruments through the trocar.
  • the sealing element offers the option of using trocars which have only one seal for completely closing the trocar opening, if no instrument is inserted into the trocar.
  • the sealing element of the insertion aid can then also be clearly spaced from the seal of the trocar, so that the trocar seal can always completely close the trocar opening before the instrument is completely pulled out of the trocar and / or the insertion. The same applies in the reverse manner for the insertion of the instrument into the trocar.
  • a particularly simple construction of the insertion aid can be achieved in particular in that the sealing element is arranged in a transition region between the instrument guide and the connecting device. FER This also increases the stability of the insertion aid. In addition, the sealing element helps to center the instrument to be introduced and also to lead.
  • the structure of the introducer further simplifies when the sealing element is a ring seal.
  • a particularly good sealing relative to instrument or endoscope shafts can be achieved in that the sealing element comprises a projecting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the instrument guide sealing lip. Preferably, this is designed such that it bulges slightly in the distal direction when inserting an instrument and when pulling out the instrument in the proximal direction.
  • the sealing element In principle, it would be conceivable to design the sealing element such that it completely closes the passage opening when no instrument is inserted into the insertion aid. It is favorable, however, if the sealing element defines a minimum inner diameter of the passage opening. The fact that the sealing element defines in this way a size, namely the inner diameter of the passage opening, the insertion of an instrument is much easier, because an instrument opposite resistance by the sealing element is the smaller, the smaller a difference between the inner diameter of the passage opening and an outer diameter of the instrument.
  • the minimum inner diameter of the passage opening is variable. This has the advantage that the sealing element can be optimally adapted to different outer shank diameters of instruments and thus ensures an optimal seal.
  • the variability of the minimum inner diameter of the passage opening can also facilitating the insertion of shanks with different outer diameters, that is, a force acting against the shaft of the instrument by the sealing element need not increase, if at all, to the extent that a non-changeable minimum inner diameter of the passage opening.

  • instruments with a very small outer shaft diameter can still be optimally sealed.
  • the largest minimum inner diameter has a value in a range of 3 mm to 20 mm. This makes it possible, in particular, to introduce instruments with a shaft outer diameter which is greater than 20 mm.
  • the insertion aid is particularly easy to produce if the sealing element comprises a membrane provided with an opening. In particular, the opening can define the passage opening of the insertion aid.
