Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a surgical instrument for use in surgical procedures, and in particular, to a surgical instrument for performing a cutting action to release soft tissue from fibrous tissue.
  • fascia In the human body, fibrous septae connect the dermis to the underlying fascia.
  • the fascia is a band of thin, fibrous connective tissue that provides support to every structure of the human body, including organs, muscles and bones. Fascia comprises collagen and is generally made up of multiple layers that has sufficient strength and flexibility to support muscles as they contract and stretch.
  • Skin conditions such as cellulite
  • fibrous tissue that connects the dermis to the fascia thickening and pulling the skin downwards towards the fascia, creating the skin dimpling effect of cellulite.
  • One way of addressing cellulite conditions is to sever the fibrous septae to allow the skin’s surface to smooth out to minimise the visual effect of cellulite.
  • the fibrous septae can also be an issue during many surgical procedures as the fibrous septae can make it difficult to close a wound. In such instances, the fibrous tissue must be cut to free the wound edges in order to pull the wound together and close it with a suture.
  • a surgical instrument for releasing soft tissue from fibrous tissue comprising: a body having a distal end configured to be inserted into an incision formed in the soft tissue and a handle end opposite to the distal end for gripping by a user; a hook member located at the distal end of the body to extend laterally from the body; and a blade pivotally mounted adjacent an opening of the hook member at a proximal end so as to be movable between an open position where opening of the hook member can freely receive fibrous tissue therethrough and a closed position where the blade is positioned across the opening of the hook member; wherein, the body is firstly inserted into the soft tissue and advanced such that the opening of the hook member is open to receive fibrous tissue therein for testing, and upon the test determining that the fibrous tissue requires release, the blade is activated to move from the open position to the closed position thereby performing a cutting action that passes through the fibrous tissue located within the hook member to cut and release the soft tissue therefrom.
  • the blade may have a distal end that travels within a groove provided in an inner surface of the hook member when the blade is moved between the open position and the closed position.
  • the blade may be activated to move between the open position and the closed position by one or more activation members provided on the handle end of the body.
  • the one or more activation members may comprise a trigger member mounted on the handle end of the body.
  • a surgical instrument for releasing soft tissue from fibrous tissue comprising: a body having a distal end configured to be inserted into an incision formed in the soft tissue and a handle end opposite to the distal end for gripping by a user; a hook member mounted with respect to the distal end of the body to extend laterally from the body; and a blade mounted within the hook member so as to be movable between an extended position where the blade extends at least partially beyond a surface of the hook member and a retracted position where the blade is located within the hook member so as not to extend beyond a surface of the hook member; wherein, the body is firstly inserted into the soft tissue and advanced such that the hook member is able to locate fibrous tissue and test the fibrous tissue, and upon the test determining that the fibrous tissue requires action, the blade is activated to move to the extended position such that the hook member cuts the fibrous tissue to release the soft tissue therefrom.
  • the hook member is movably mounted with respect to the distal end of the body to move between an extended position where the hook member extends laterally from the body and a retracted position where the hook member is substantially contained within the body.
  • the hook member may be substantially contained within a recess formed in the body adjacent the distal end thereof.

  • a small incision is first made in the skin of the patient and the distal end of the instrument 10, 30 is inserted into the incision.
  • the distal end is initially advanced into the soft tissue to determine the extent of the area of the soft tissue that needs releasing from the surrounding fibrous tissue.
  • the hook member 18 may be fixed in an extended position or the practitioner may press the button 16 on the instrument 10 to release the hook member 18 such that the hook member extends from the body 12 in the manner as depicted in Fig. 4.
  • the practitioner is then able to use the hook member 18 to identify fibrous strands present in the soft tissue and by moving the hook member 18 such that it is located behind the fibrous strands, the practitioner is able to apply a pulling force on the fibrous strands to determine if they will in turn, pull on the adjacent skin structure. If the practitioner notices that by pulling on the fibrous material there is no corresponding movement of the adjacent skin, the practitioner can make the assessment that the fibrous material is not of concern and can then move the instrument to locate and test other fibrous stands in the surrounding tissue using the hook member 18 of the instrument 10.
  • the practitioner does identify that by pulling on the fibrous strands with the hook member 18, the adjacent skin tissue is also pulled, the practitioner is able to confirm that the fibrous tissue is of concern.
  • the practitioner can then activate the blade 20 such that it extends from the hook member 18.
  • the practitioner is then able to pull the blade 20 through the fibrous strands and cut the fibrous strands from connection with the adjacent soft tissue.
  • the blade 20 can then be released to enable the hook member 18 to be used to test other fibrous strands present in the surrounding tissue to be tested, and where appropriate, the blade 20 can be activated to cut those fibrous strands as required. This would then be repeated until the soft tissue is released from the contact with the adjacent fibrous tissue or septae.
  • the hook member 35 is maintained in the open position for insertion via the incision.
  • the practitioner is then able to use the open hook member 35 to identify fibrous strands present in the soft tissue in the manner as discussed below.

  • the practitioner can then assess that the tested fibrous strand of material are not of concern and then move the instrument to release the fibrous strands from the opening 36 of the hook member 35 to locate and test other fibrous stands in the surrounding tissue by collecting them in hook member 35 of the instrument 30 and applying a testing force to them.
  • the practitioner can then activate the blade 38 to move from the open position to the closed position within the hook member 35.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un instrument chirurgical pour libérer un tissu mou à partir d'un tissu fibreux comprenant : un corps ayant une extrémité distale configurée pour être insérée dans une incision formée dans le tissu mou et une extrémité de poignée opposée à l'extrémité distale pour une préhension par un utilisateur ; un élément crochet situé à l'extrémité distale du corps pour s'étendre latéralement à partir du corps ; et une lame montée pivotante adjacente à une ouverture de l'élément crochet au niveau d'une extrémité proximale de façon à être mobile entre une position ouverte dans laquelle l'ouverture de l'élément crochet peut recevoir librement un tissu fibreux à travers celle-ci et une position fermée dans laquelle la lame est positionnée à travers l'ouverture de l'élément crochet ; le corps étant d'abord inséré dans le tissu mou et avancé de telle sorte que l'ouverture de l'élément crochet est ouverte pour recevoir un tissu fibreux à l'intérieur de celle-ci pour un test, et lorsque le test détermine que le tissu fibreux nécessite une libération, la lame est activée pour se déplacer de la position ouverte à la position fermée, réalisant ainsi une action de coupe qui passe à travers le tissu fibreux situé à l'intérieur de l'élément crochet pour couper et libérer le tissu mou à partir de celui-ci.
