专利说明:

The present invention relates to a medical device for forming an implantable ring, in particular for draining or necking or marking tissue, comprising a flexible strand and at least one coupling piece for connecting a first end and a second end of the flexible strand.
For the treatment of patients, tubular, flexible strands (= tubes) are often used to expose existing anatomical structures, e.g. to maintain the ureters, the bile duct, vessels, fistula tracts, and gastric inlets and outlets, or to bridge defects. One specific application of tubular flexible strands is the so-called "drainage". vonWundgebieten. In this case, one end of such a flexible strand is placed in the wound area, while the other end leaves the body and is connected to a container for collecting the wound secret through the cavity of the strand.
In some medical applications, it is necessary to intra-operatively assemble the ends of such flexible strands to form a closed ring. This is necessary, for example, in the application of long-term drainage of a rectal anal fistula and is also referred to as suture drainage or seton. The drainage is used to calm the inflammation of the fistula. The flexible strand prevents clogging of the fistula, whereby the wound secretion on the surface of the ring can escape along the surface of the skin.
The fistula is probed and the flexible strand inserted into the fistula. Often, in practice, drains are applied in which the two ends of the flexible strand outside the patient's body are knotted by the surgeon. Of the
Knots of such a drainage is located in the region of the anus and often causes the affected patients in the daily routine difficulties. There may be pain on sitting and frequent skin irritation around the fistula.
There have already been known implantable rings for draining recto-anal fistulas in which a coupling piece connects the two ends of the flexible strand. This embodiment has the advantage that a smooth, closed and flexible ring can be made without thickening and knots, which reduces pain and irritation to the skin in the patient. In practice, however, it has been found that the connectors can become undesirable, resulting in a new doctor's appointment for a new ring to drain.
Other applications of closed implantable rings include, for example, stomach bypass surgery and vertical banded gastroplasty for the treatment of obesity. The medical devices are assembled in the body of the patient into a ring. Furthermore, it is also possible to use closed rings for the intraoperative marking of tissue areas in the form of a long-term implantable loop and to use these for subsequent treatments, in particular for orientation in radiation therapies. Also, the permanent but reversible constriction of hollow organs, e.g. temporary sterilization on the fallopian tubes or to allow for intraoperative radiation can be achieved by means of such medical devices.
The object of the invention is to realize a reliable node-free connection of the ends of a strand to form an implantable ring.
According to the invention, this is achieved by a medical device for forming an implantable ring having the feature of claim 1.
In a medical device according to the invention, it is provided that the coupling piece has a cavity for receiving adhesive and adhesive can be fed from the cavity through at least one adhesive outlet opening into a connection area between the first end of the flexible strand and the coupling piece.
It can thereby be carried out in a simple and advantageous manner intraoperatively a bond for connection of the first end of the flexible strand with the coupling piece.
In the connected state of its ends, the medical device of the invention preferably forms a ring in the longitudinal extent of the flexible strand. Circumferential direction of the ring seen in a substantially constant cross-section.
Preferably, the second end of the flexible strand with the coupling piece is frictionally and / or positively and / or materially connected. This connection can be made, for example, by shrinking the flexible strand onto the coupling piece. Other compounds, such as welded joints or adhesive joints are conceivable and possible. The design of the coupler associated with the second end also represents the preferred delivery condition of the medical device, i. H. the connection between the second end of the flexible strand and the coupling piece already takes place at the factory. The medical device thus comprises the flexible strand and the coupling piece attached to the second end of the flexible strand in the delivery state. In other embodiments of the invention, it is also conceivable that the second end of the flexible strand is connectable to the coupling piece, that is, in this embodiment, the connection of the second end of the flexible strand to the coupling piece by the medical staff, preferably before, or during implantation , is made.
In a first possible embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cavity of the coupling piece is already filled with adhesive in the delivery state and at least one closure for preventing an unwanted escape of adhesive through the at least one adhesive outlet opening is provided. The closure serves to prevent the unwanted escape of adhesive and also to prevent the adhesive from drying during storage of the medical device. The closure may directly cover the adhesive exit opening on the surface of the coupler or close off the passage between the cavity and the adhesive exit opening.
Preferably, in this embodiment, at least one wall of the coupling piece delimiting the cavity can be pressed into the cavity by an external pressure exerted on the coupling piece, i. H. the volume of the cavity is reduced by the depression of the wall. In particular, when the wall is pressed in, the material of the coupling is locally elastically and / or plastically deformed. It can therefore be exerted on the outside of the coupling and on the adhesive to press the adhesive from the adhesive outlet opening. To facilitate this, the closure is conveniently opened by pressure applied to the adhesive and transferred from the adhesive to the closure. If the pressure required to open the closure is exceeded, reducing the volume of the cavity of the coupling piece will result in the release of adhesive from the adhesive exit opening into the connection area. The adhesive preferably exits directly in the bonding area and allows a precise and reliable bonding of the first end of the flexible strand to the coupling piece. It is conceivable and possible for the closure to be opened in other ways as well, for example by means of prior manual penetration by the medical personnel, e.g. by means of a needle.
An advantageous embodiment of this embodiment of the invention provides that the closure is formed by a membrane. Conveniently, the membrane is rupturable by pressure applied to the adhesive and transferred by the adhesive, and / or can be ruptured or lifted by a pressure on the connector acting on the adhesive and transferred from the adhesive. The membrane could also be referred to as a breaking point which ruptures or tears when a corresponding pressure is applied. Alternatively, it could also be provided that the membrane is opened or detached from the coupling prior to assembly of the first end of the flexible strand and coupling.
The membrane may be a separate foil which is bonded to the coupler, e.g. B. adhered to the surface of the coupling piece. In particular, the membrane hides areas of the wall of the coupling piece which has the adhesive outlet opening. In other embodiments, it may be provided that the membrane is in a passageway between the cavity and the adhesive exit opening.
Instead of forming in the form of a separate membrane, the closure could also be formed by a portion of the coupling itself, which has a small wall thickness.
In a possible second embodiment of the invention, the coupling piece has at least one adhesive inlet opening for introducing adhesive into the cavity of the coupling piece. For example, the adhesive may be injected into the coupler by means of a suitable syringe by attaching or connecting a cannula or a corresponding conduit of the syringe to the coupler. It is conceivable that this operation is performed in the connected state of the first end of the flexible strand with the coupling piece and the adhesive is displaced by the pressure applied to the spray in the connection region. The adhesive is thus introduced intraoperatively into the cavity of the coupling piece. It is also conceivable and possible for the cavity to be filled prior to joining the first end of the flexible strand to the coupling piece, and for an additional step of introducing the adhesive into the joint area
Applying pressure to a cavity adjacent wall of the coupling piece takes place. The introduction of the adhesive into the cavity can then be carried out in particular before the implantation of the device. Also in these embodiments may be provided for the adhesive outlet openings a closure. This can be designed analogously to the previously described first embodiment, in which the cavity is already filled with adhesive in the delivery state.
In both the first embodiment in which the cavity is filled in the delivery condition and in the second embodiment in which the cavity is unfilled in the delivery condition, the at least one adhesive exit orifice is located in particular in an outer surface of the coupler, e.g. in the shell surface of the coupler, at the end of a passage extending from the cavity to the outer surface of the coupler. The passage between the outer surface of the coupling and the cavity may also be referred to as a channel or bore. In the mated condition of the ends of the medical device in which a ring is formed, the glue exit port is then located adjacent to a surface of the flexible strand. A gap between the adhesive exit opening of the coupler and the surface of the flexible strand may be filled with adhesive in this condition. After curing of the adhesive, a permanent connection of the two ends of the flexible strand is made via the coupling piece. Embodiments in which at least one passage or at least one of the passages opens at an end face of the coupling piece are conceivable and possible.
The flexible strand is preferably tubular with a longitudinally extending cavity formed.
To facilitate implanting the device of the invention, the first end of the flexible strand, or instead the coupling piece, may be connectable to an insertion probe. Such an insertion probe is preferably plastically deformable and has an elongated shape. Advantageously, an insertion probe may already be in the delivery state of the device at the first end of the flexible strand or on the coupling piece attached.
Further features and details of preferred embodiments of the invention will be elucidated with reference to the drawings. Show it:

The inventive arrangements shown in the figures have different scales and are particularly illustrative of the invention.
Figs. 1 to 7 show a first embodiment of the medical device 1 for forming an implantable ring in the delivery state. Such rings are used in particular for the drainage of rectal anal fistulas, for constricting hollow organs or for marking tissue. The exemplary application for drainage of recto-anal fistulas will be discussed below.
The medical device 1 has a flexible strand 2 and a coupling piece 3, which in the connected state of the medical device 1 connects the first end 4 to the second end 5 of the flexible strand 2. The formation of the ring, d. H. the joining of the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 via the coupling piece 3 takes place during the implantation of the medical device 1 on or in the body of the patient.
The second end 5 of the flexible strand 2 is preferably already connected to the coupling piece 3 in the delivery state of the device. Imgezeigten embodiment, this compound is cohesively in the form of a gluing. In Figs. 4, 6 and 7 of the second end 5 with the coupling piece 3 connecting adhesive 25 is shown. This is not necessarily so, but could be the second end 5 of the flexible strand with the coupling piece 3 also frictionally and / or positively connected. For example, a shrinking of the flexible strand 2 on the coupling piece 3 is also possible.
The connection of the coupling piece 3 with the second end 5 is designed such that an extension of the coupling piece 3 projects into a cavity 17 of the flexible strand 2. The reverse embodiment, in which a portion of the flexible strand 2 at the second end 5 projects into an opening on the coupling piece 3, is conceivable and possible.
The coupling piece 3 has a cavity 6 for receiving adhesive 7, see FIG. 4, 6 and 7. In the first embodiment, the cavity 6 of the coupling piece 3 is already filled in the delivery state of the medical device 1 with adhesive 7. In the region of the coupling piece 3, which serves for connection to the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2, the coupling piece 3 has at least one adhesive outlet opening 8. Advantageously, as shown, there are a plurality of adhesive outlet openings 8 spaced apart in the axial direction (= in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the flexible strand 2 in the section connected to the coupling piece 3). In addition, at least one closure 10 is provided. In the delivery state, all adhesive outlet openings 8 are closed by the at least one closure 10. In the exemplary embodiment, a separate closure 10 is provided for each adhesive outlet opening 8.
The closures 10 are each designed in the embodiment as a membrane, which form a ring around the lateral surface of the coupling piece 3 and cover the adhesive outlet openings 8. The closures 10 prevent the unwanted escape of adhesive 7 during storage of the medical device 1 and during implantation. They also serve, in particular, to prevent the drying of the adhesive 7.
It could also be a closure 10, for example be provided in the form of a membrane which closes a plurality of adhesive outlet openings 8. A membrane for forming the closure 10 would not necessarily have to be annular. It is also conceivable and possible for the closure 10 to have the shape of a strip, which in turn covers only one of the adhesive outlet openings 8 or several of the adhesive outlet openings 8. The closure 10 could also have a contour similar to the geometry of the adhesive outlet opening 8.
The adhesive outlet openings 8 are in the embodiment in an outer surface of the coupling piece 3 at the end of each of a passage 13, which connects the cavity 6 with the outer surface of the coupling piece 3.
In Figs. 2 to 4, the medical device 1 is shown immediately before the formation of an assembled state (Fig. 6) in which the connection between the coupling piece 3 and the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 is still reversibly detachable. Only the sections of the flexible strand 2 adjoining the two ends 4, 5 of the strand 2 are shown. The forming curved loop of the flexible strand 2 has not been shown for clarity. The sections of the flexible strand 2 that are part of the same flexible strand 2 belong to each other. At least the sections of the flexible strand 2 adjoining the ends 4, 5 have a cavity 17 that extends in the longitudinal extent of the flexible strand 2 and opens at the end 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 , Preferably, the flexible strand 2 is in the form of a tube having a longitudinally continuous cavity 17.
The coupling piece 3 has a first extension, which is insertable in the cavity 17 of the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 and a second extension which projects into the cavity 17 of the second end 5. Conversely, it is also conceivable and possible that the coupling piece 3 apart from the cavity 6 has at least one further, frontally opening cavity and at one of the ends 4, 5befindlicher extension of the flexible strand 2 projects into this cavity or is inserted into this.
Both in the assembled (FIG. 6) and in the permanently connected state (FIG. 7), the surface of the flexible strand 2 bordering the cavity 17 is adjacent to the adhesive outlet openings 8. In particular, there is a gap 14 between the surface of the coupling piece 3 having the adhesive outlet openings 8 and the surface of the flexible strand 2 bounding the cavity 17. The advantage of the arrangement of the adhesive outlet openings 8 of the medical device 1 directly in the connection area 9 is that the adhesive 7 fits precisely into the connection area 9 can be guided to ensure the permanent and reliable connection of the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 via the coupling piece.
Fig. 6 shows the assembled state of the medical device 1, wherein the first extension of the coupling piece 3 has been inserted into the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2. In order to permanently connect the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 with the aid of the coupling piece 3, in a next step adhesive 7 is pressed out of the cavity 6 into the connection region 9. Of the
Adhesive 7 passes into the gap 14, which is located between the flexible strand 2 surface bounding the cavity 17 of the flexible strand 2 and the outer surface of the coupling piece 3.
In order to displace the adhesive 7 into the connecting region 9, an external pressure is exerted on the cavity 6 delimiting wall 12 of the coupling piece 3. The direction 11 of the applied pressure is shown in FIG. The pressurized adhesive 7 exerts a corresponding force on the closure 10. Upon reaching a limit pressure of the adhesive 7, the shutter 10 opens due to the force applied thereto and the adhesive 7 can penetrate into the connection portion 9 between the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 and the coupling piece 3. The closure 10 designed as a membrane tears open by the pressure acting on the adhesive 7 and transferred by the adhesive 7. In other embodiments, it could also be provided that the attached to the coupling piece 3, z. B. glued membrane can be torn off at least in some areas. It could also be provided that the membrane is changed its position due to the pressure so that the adhesive 7 can escape through the adhesive outlet openings 8. For example, the respective annular membrane in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 could have an elasticity and thus be liftable from the coupling piece 3.
In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 7, the coupling piece 3 is deformable in the region of the cavity 6, in particular elastically deformable, for introducing the adhesive 7 into the connection region 9. After the introduction of the adhesive 7 takes the coupling piece 3 when releasing the coupling piece 3also independently again essentially the initial shape. The deformation of the coupling piece 3 in the region of the cavity 6 for introducing the adhesive 7 into the connection region 9 is advantageously effected by means of corresponding medical tools, e.g. a pliers, which are the person skilled in the art and known per se made. Even a direct dog operation by the doctor is conceivable and possible. After curing of the adhesive 7, the permanently connected state of the ends 4, 5 of the medical device 1 to form a ring is achieved (FIG. 8).
Preferably, the medical device 1 has an at least substantially uniform elasticity or softness over the entire longitudinal extent of the flexible strand 2, preferably over its entire circumference.
Preferably, the medical device 1 seen over its entire circumference in a cross section normal to the longitudinal extent of the flexible strand 2, an at least substantially identical outer contour. As a result, a ring without local thickening, ie with the same outside diameter of the cross section of the flexible strand 2, can advantageously be achieved.
The coupling piece 3 in the exemplary embodiment has a kind of annular collar, which is in the connected or implanted state between the first end 4 and the second end 5 of the strand. This is not mandatory, it could also be dispensed with a collar, so that the first and second ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand directly abut each other.
In Fig. 9, the application of the medical device 1 for forming an implantable ring for the drainage of recto-anal fistulas located in the area of the sphincter of the anus 19 is shown. A fistula is generally a non-naturally occurring, tubular or tubular network-like connection between an internal hollow organ and other organs. In the case of the illustrated recto-anal fistulas, there is a fistula passage 20 between the rectum 18 and the skin of the patient. Fistulas can become painfully inflamed. Before further surgical treatment, e.g. Fistula splitting can be performed, often requiring drainage of the fistula to calm the inflammation.
By means of a further below-described insertion probe 16, see. 10, the medical device is inserted into the fistula 20 by the physician. In the illustrated example of use, the flexible strand 2 is guided outward again by the rectum 18 via the anus 19 and the insertion probe 16 is removed. After an optional shortening of the protruding flexible strand 2, the physician can make the connection of the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2. He leads dazudas first end 4 via the coupling piece 3 and then, for example by means of a pair of pliers the necessary pressure to open the at least one closure 10 to displace the adhesive 7 from the cavity 6 in the connection region 9. After the appropriate retention time, the connection of the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 is made durable and reliable.
The insertion probe 16 shown in Fig. 10 has an end 21 which is connectable to the flexible strand 2 or the coupling piece 3. To facilitate insertion of the flexible strand 2 into the fistula tract 20 and to minimize the risk of injury to the patient, the insertion probe 16 has a rounded head 22. The insertion probe 16 could already be in the delivery state at the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 or the coupling piece 3 mounted, in particular frictionally to allow an immediate use of the medical device 1 on the patient. On the other hand, the insertion probe 16 but could also by the medical staff before implantation of the medical Device 1 with the flexible strand 2 or the coupling piece 3 are connected. The insertion probe 16 is preferably made of a plastically deformable material, e.g. Metal.
Figs. 11 to 16 show a second embodiment of the medical device 1. Apart from the differences described below, the above-mentioned embodiments of the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 7 also apply to this second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the coupling piece 3, in contrast to the first embodiment, in addition to an adhesive inlet opening 15. The cavity 6 of the coupling piece 3 is unfilled in the delivery state of the medical device 1. The adhesive 7 is supplied by the physician before or during the medical intervention via the adhesive inlet opening 15 to the cavity 6 of the coupling piece 3 and subsequently to the at least one adhesive outlet opening 8. In the case of several adhesive outlet openings 8, as is preferred, the cavity 6 in particular serves to distribute the adhesive 7 in the coupling piece 3. In the second embodiment as well, a respective adhesive outlet opening 8 can be closed by a closure 10 analogous to the first embodiment. However, this is not absolutely necessary, but rather the closure 10 could be dispensed with in the second exemplary embodiment. An advantage of the second embodiment is that the medical device 1 is not subject to any special storage requirements due to the adhesive 7, since it can be stored separately. Thus, a secure over a longer period storage of the medical device 1 is possible. The physician can inject the respective required amount of adhesive 7 by placing a cannula of a medical syringe at the adhesive inlet opening 15 in the coupling piece 3 until the adhesive 7 exits at the adhesive outlet openings 8 and thus produce the lasting and reliable connection of the two ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2.
A further embodiment is shown in FIGS. 17 to 22. Apart from the differences described below, the above embodiments of the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 7 also apply to this embodiment.
The flexible strand 2 consists in this embodiment, at least in the region of the ends 4, 5 of solid material. The first and second ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2 each have an extension 23, cf. Fig. 19. The extension 23 protrudes in the connected state of the two ends 4, 5 each in a cavity 24, 26 of the
Coupling piece 3, see. Fig. 21 and Fig. 22. The coupling piece 3 has, analogous to the first embodiment, a cavity 6, which is already filled in the delivery state with adhesive 7. The adhesive outlet opening 8 is located on an end face of the cavity 24 of the coupling piece 3 and is closed by a closure 10 in the form of a membrane. After the formation of the ring by inserting the extension 23 of the first end 4 into the cavity 24 of the coupling piece 3, by applying the required pressure in the direction 11, the adhesive 7, after at least partial detachment of the closure 10 from the coupling piece 3 or the tearing of the closure 10, the connection region 9 between the first End 4 of the flexible strand 2 and the coupling piece 3 are supplied. The cavity 6 in this embodiment substantially directly adjoins the exit opening 8, i. H. that in this embodiment was waived a pronounced transition between the cavity 6 and the adhesive outlet opening 8. But it could also be provided here a corresponding gear, as well as could be dispensed with in the first and second embodiment.
Conveniently, the flexible strand 2 in this embodiment would already be prefabricated in its length in order to avoid the production of the extension 23 of the first end 4 during implantation. The gap 14 to be filled with adhesive 7 is arranged in this embodiment in the connected state of the first and second end 4, 5 of the medical device 1 both between a lateral surface and the end face of the flexible strand 2 and a cavity 24 delimiting the surface of the coupling piece 3.
The flexible strand 2 consists of a long-term implantable material, that is, the medical device 1 is suitable to be applied in or on the body of the patient for a period of more than 30 days. Such materials are well known to those skilled in the art, for example, it could be polyurethane, nylon, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone.
The outer diameter of the flexible strand 2 is adapted to the specific application and may e.g. when used for drainage, desirably be in the range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm. In other applications, the outside diameter may range from 0.5mm to 30mm. In the embodiments, it is provided that the cross section of the flexible strand 2 is circular. In other embodiments of the invention it could be provided that the cross section deviates from the circular shape and has, for example, an elliptical or rectangular shape.
The coupling piece 3 is preferably made of plastic, for example auseinem of those previously mentioned in connection with the flexible strand 2. The membrane of the closure 10 is formed in the embodiments shown in the figures of a film, the z. B. may consist of plastic or metal.
The adhesive 7 is in particular a commercially available adhesive which is suitable for connecting the coupling piece 3 to the ends 4, 5 of the flexible strand 2. The bonding process can be accelerated by introducing heat with appropriate adhesives.
It is conceivable and possible that the connection between the coupling piece 3 and the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 in addition to a pure adhesive connection is also a combination of an adhesive connection with a frictional and / or positive connection. As a result, even before the adhesive 7 is introduced into the connection region 9, the relative position of the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 and the coupling piece 3 relative to one another can be defined and held without the connection being able to detach itself.
It is also conceivable and possible for the coupling piece 3 to have adhesive outlet holes for feeding adhesive 7 into a connection area between the second end 5 of the flexible strand 2 and the coupling piece 3.
In addition to the application of the medical device 1 for draining recto-anal fistulas can be implantable in accordance with the invention ring z. Also in these cases, an adhesive bond is made between the first end 4 of the flexible strand 2 and the coupling piece 3.
To form an implantable ring for marking tissue, the flexible strand 2 may also comprise a suitable marker material.
