Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a handle for a surgical instrument and a surgical instrument comprising the handle.
  • the present invention relates to handles for endoscopic surgical instruments and those surgical instruments which include an operative portion which is actuated by moving one part relative to another.
  • an instrument which comprises an operative portion at the distal end of an elongate shaft.
  • One part of the operative portion is coupled to the elongate shaft and another part is coupled to a second shaft, typically disposed within the outer shaft. Relative movement of the two shafts results in movement of the outer portion.
  • surgical instruments operated in this way include scissors and bisectors. This form of actuation is also used in surgical retractors for use in endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery.
  • a retractor for endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery has two configurations: a first, low profile configuration for insertion into the body and a second, larger configuration for engaging the part of the anatomy which is to be retracted.
  • One form of retractor suitable for endoscopic surgery is a segment string.
  • a segment string instrument a chain of connected segments have a filament running through them. Drawing the filament proximally shortens the length of the filament and causes the segment string to bend into a retraction configuration.
  • Handles for use with endoscopic surgical instruments are known.
  • such handles are typically provided in the form of a pistol grip or scissors, with movement of the pistol grip or scissors directly corresponding to movement of the shafts of the operative portion.
  • This can make existing handles difficult to use with tools such as segment strings, which may require a high force to be applied to move the two portions of the shaft relative to each other.
  • Handles for endoscopic devices and retractors which include ratchets are known, examples include US-5441044 and US-A-2005/0070764.

  • a return spring to control one portion of the movement of the operative portion, for example an opening or a closing stroke, with the other controlled by a user operating an actuator.
  • such instruments can have problems when improved mechanical advantage is required, because an opening or closing stroke is still controlled by a single stroke of the actuator.
  • the present invention provides a handle including a rotatable member which is engaged by a shuttle member having a ratchet mechanism.
  • the rotatable member has a helical thread formed on an outer surface which is engaged by the ratchet in the shuttle member.
  • the pawl of the ratchet only engages in one direction, therefore ensuring that the rotatable member rotates in a single direction.
  • the rotation of the rotatable member is converted into a linear motion by a translatable member which engages a screw thread driven by the rotatable member.
  • a handle for a surgical instrument comprising a body member for attachment to an outer shaft of a surgical instrument; a rotatable member at least partially disposed within the body member for rotation about a longitudinal axis and comprising a first helical thread formed on an outer surface and a second helical thread; a translatable member for attachment to an inner shaft of a surgical instrument, adapted for movement along the longitudinal axis relative to the rotatable member and having a helical thread engaged with the second helical thread of the rotatable member; a shuttle member disposed around the rotatable member comprising a ratchet mechanism having a pawl for engaging the first helical thread; and an actuation member having a first end pivotally attached to the body member and a second end coupled to the
  • the pivotal motion of the actuating member relative to the body member is converted into rotation of the rotatable member by the engagement with the first helical thread through the shuttle member.
  • this rotation of the rotatable member is converted into translation of the translatable member by the engagement of the second helical thread.
  • the relative pitch of the first and second thread on the rotatable member can be chosen to determine the mechanical advantage of the handle.
  • the actuation member may be formed with indentations for receiving a user's digits.
  • the second helical thread may be formed on an outer surface of the rotatable member, longitudinally displaced from the first helical thread.
  • the second helical thread may be formed in a bore within the rotatable member, coaxial with the longitudinal axis.
  • the corresponding thread of the rotatable member may be formed on an outer surface of the rotatable member.
  • the first helical thread comprises a double helix and the shuttle member further comprises means for selecting which of the threads of the double helix is engaged by the pawl of the ratchet.
  • the shuttle member further comprises means for selecting which of the threads of the double helix is engaged by the pawl of the ratchet.
  • Providing control over the operation in both directions is particularly advantageous when applied to retractors which comprise a segment string.
  • the tension under which the inner member of the segment string must be placed can be significant. Even without a return spring, the natural elasticity of the material of the inner member, can release significant amounts of energy when tension is removed from the inner member. This may cause recoil of the instrument and consequent damage to the body cavity in which the instrument is deployed.
  • This embodiment therefore enables controlled movement in both directions, for example to move a segment string retractor between deployed and undeployed configurations.
  • the ratchet may have two pawls, each associated with one of the helixes of the double helix. By operating a switch a user can engage one of the pawls with one of the helixes and disengage the other of the pawls.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a second actuating member having a first end pivotally attached to the body member; wherein the first and second actuating members are disposed symmetrically about the longitudinal axis.
  • the second actuation member may be attached to the body member at the same point as the first actuation member.
  • the actuating member may be arranged to be moved between a first position, in which its second end is a first distance away from the body member, and a second position, in which its second end is a second distance away from the body member, wherein the second distance is smaller than the first distance.
  • the handle may further comprise a resilient member for biasing the actuating member towards the first position.
  • the resilient member allows the handle to return automatically ready for another actuation by the user, enabling simpler use with one hand.
  • the resilient member may be a spring, elastomer or any other elastically deformable element. In the second position the second distance may be zero, i.e. the handle may be directly adjacent or touching the body member in the second position.
  • the apparatus may comprise a latch member on the handle for holding the actuating member in the second position.
  • a latch member on the handle for holding the actuating member in the second position. This enables the handle to be held in a low profile configuration which can be advantageous in reducing the profile of the instrument. During endoscopic or laparoscopic surgical procedures many instruments are often operated within close proximity to each other. In these circumstances, the low profile configuration can make it easier to manipulate other instruments at the same time as the handle of the present invention.
  • the latch may also ensure that the relative positions of inner and outer shafts and hence the operative portion of the instrument is substantially locked.
  • the actuating member may be coupled to the shuttle member by a link member. This provides a simple method of transforming the pivotal motion of the actuation member to linear motion of the shuttle.
  • the handle further comprises a clutch disposed between the rotatable member and the translational member.
  • the clutch can limit the torque applied to the thread of the translatable member.
  • the design of the present handle enables a significant mechanical advantage to be obtained. In turn, this makes it easier for a user to apply excessive force.
  • a clutch may be provided to limit the force which can be applied, avoiding failure of instrument components due to excessive stress supplied by the handle. It can also provide tactile feedback to a surgeon when the end of the movement range of an operative portion of a surgical instrument attached to the handle has been reached.
  • the handle further comprises a clutch disposed between the rotatable member and the translatable member for limiting the torque applied to the thread of the translatable member. This allows a low profile clutch mechanism to be provided which can easily be tailored to slip at a specific torque.

  • the operative portion may be a surgical retractor.
  • the handle of the present invention can be used in combination with a variety of surgical instruments for use in endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Examples of such instruments include biopsy forceps, tissue graspers, surgical scissors, surgical snares and retrieval baskets, all of which may be moved between operative positions by controlling an attached handle to move portions of the instrument attached to an inner shaft relative to an outer shaft.
