Description

PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF POUR BLOQUER UN FIL EN COELIOCHIRURGIE
La présente invention concerne Le domaine des appareils, des dispositifs ou des moyens conçus pour permettre d'assurer le blocage d'un fil lors de la pratique des techniques de chirurgie et, pLus particuLièrement, de coeliochirurgie.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LOCKING A COELOSURGERY THREAD
The present invention relates to the field of apparatuses, devices or means designed to make it possible to ensure the blocking of a wire during the practice of surgical techniques and, more particularly, of laparoscopic surgery.

D'une manière générale, la coeliochirurgie concerne une technique opératoire s'affranchissant de la réalisation d'incisions ou d'ouvertures pratiquées pour donner accès à la partie à traiter de l'organisme d'une personne. Cette technique impose la mise en oeuvre d'instruments adaptés pour traverser la paroi abdominale en vue d'autoriser la réalisation d'interventions spécifiques, par exemple au niveau de l'appendice ou de la vésicule biliaire. Ces instruments présentent, généralement, une section de passage de L'ordre de 5 à 10 mm et une longueur de 400 mm. Ces instruments sont destinés à être manipulés par le chirurgien de l'extérieur du corps, en vue d'assurer des opérations de chirurgie spécifiques à l'intérieur de l'organisme d'une personne. In general, laparoscopic surgery concerns an operating technique that does not require the making of incisions or openings made to give access to the part to be treated of a person's organism. This technique requires the implementation of suitable instruments for crossing the abdominal wall in order to authorize the performance of specific interventions, for example at the level of the appendix or the gallbladder. These instruments generally have a passage section of the order of 5 to 10 mm and a length of 400 mm. These instruments are intended to be manipulated by the surgeon from outside the body, in order to perform specific surgical operations inside a person's body.

Ces opérations nécessitent, généralement, la réalisation de points de suture ou de ligature, par L'intermédiaire d'un ou de plusieurs fils. Un problème particulièrement difficile à résoudre est celui visant à arrêter ou à bloquer le fil ou Les fils de suture ou de ligature. Dans le même sens, la réalisation de noeuds à l'aide des instruments connus de coeliochirurgie s' avère difficile, voire impossible. These operations generally require the creation of stitches or ligatures, by means of one or more threads. A particularly difficult problem to solve is that of stopping or blocking the thread or the suture or ligature threads. Likewise, making knots using known laparoscopic instruments is difficult, if not impossible.

L'objet de L'invention vise à remédier à ce problème en proposant un dispositif à utiliser en chirurgie et, plus particuLièrement, en coeliochirurgie pour permettre le blocage des fils mis en oeuvre pour assurer une ligature ou une suture, par exempLe. The object of the invention is to remedy this problem by proposing a device to be used in surgery and, more particularly, in laparoscopic surgery to allow the blocking of the wires used to ensure ligation or suturing, for example.

L'objet de L'invention vise, également, à proposer un dispositif apte à s'affranchir de la réalisation de noeuds, en permettant de lier ensemble au moins deux parties terminales d'un fil ou de deux fils. The object of the invention also aims to propose a device capable of dispensing with the making of knots, by making it possible to link together at least two end parts of a wire or of two wires.

Pour atteindre cet objectif, le dispositif selon
L'invention est constitué par une pièce mâle et une pièce femelle destinées à délimiter entre elles au moins une zone de coincement pour Le fil, lorsque les pièces mâle et femelle sont emboîtées L'une dans L'autre.
To achieve this objective, the system according to
The invention consists of a male part and a female part intended to delimit between them at least one wedging zone for the wire, when the male and female parts are fitted one into the other.

SeLon une caractéristique avantageuse de L'invention, les pièces mâle et femelle sont équipées de moyens pour les immobiliser relativement lorsque ces pièces sont emboîtées L'une dans L'autre.  According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the male and female parts are equipped with means for immobilizing them relatively when these parts are fitted into one another.

Pour faciliter la préhension du fil, la pièce mâle ou la pièce femelle comporte au moins une échancrure assurant l'engagement du fil sur la pièce, préalablememnt à son coincement. To facilitate gripping of the wire, the male part or the female part comprises at least one notch ensuring the engagement of the wire on the part, prior to its jamming.

L'objet de L'invention vise également à proposer un procédé de blocage d'au moins un fil consistant à
- introduire un dispositif de blocage dans
L 'organisme d'une personne, à L'aide d'un
instrument du type comportant un piston
coulissant dans un fourreau,
- commander par L'instrument, le déplacement
relatif de la pièce mâle par rapport a La pièce
femelle pour assurer leur emboîtement en vue du
coincement du fil,
- et à agir sur L'instrument pour permettre de
désolidariser le dispositif de blocage de
L'instrument.
The object of the invention also aims to propose a method for blocking at least one wire consisting in
- insert a blocking device in
A person's body, using a
instrument of the type comprising a piston
sliding in a sheath,

La fig. 6 est une vue en perspective d'une autre variante de réalisation d'un dispositif de blocage selon L'invention. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of another alternative embodiment of a locking device according to the invention.

La fig. 7 est une vue en coupe prise sensiblement selon les lignes VII-VII de la fig. 6. Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken substantially along the lines VII-VII of FIG. 6.

Les fig. 1 et 2, illustrent un dispositif 1 conforme à l'invention, utilisé en coeliochirurgie et destiné à assurer le blocage d'au moins un fil, au sens général, pour réaliser, par exemple un surjet, une suture ou une Ligature. Le dispositif de blocage 1 selon L'invention comporte une pièce mâle 2, destinée à être emboîtée au moins partiellement à l'intérieur d'une pièce femelle 3. Les pièces 2 et 3 sont adaptées pour ménager entre elles, lors de leur emboîtement, au moins une zone 4 assurant le coincement d'au moins un et, dans l'exemple illustré, de deux parties terminales 51 d'un ou de deux fils 5. Figs. 1 and 2, illustrate a device 1 according to the invention, used in laparoscopic surgery and intended to ensure the blocking of at least one wire, in the general sense, to produce, for example an overlock, a suture or a ligature. The blocking device 1 according to the invention comprises a male part 2, intended to be fitted at least partially inside a female part 3. The parts 2 and 3 are adapted to provide for each other, during their fitting, at least one zone 4 ensuring the jamming of at least one and, in the example illustrated, of two end parts 51 of one or two wires 5.

Dans l'exemple illustré aux fig. 1 et 2, la pièce mâle 2 est réalisée sous la forme d'un tronc de cône, par exemple de base circulaire, tandis que la pièce femelle 3 comporte un alésage 6 de forme complémentaire à l'enveloppe de la pièce mâle 2. Selon cet exempLe, les fils 5 s'étendent de part et d'autre du diamètre de la pièce 2, de sorte que Les fils 5 sont coincés par deux zones 4 qui sont délimitées par des surfaces à profil incliné complémentaires, à savoir la surface de révolution extérieure 7 de la pièce mâle 2 et la surface de l'alésage 6. In the example illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, the male part 2 is produced in the form of a truncated cone, for example of circular base, while the female part 3 has a bore 6 of shape complementary to the envelope of the male part 2. According to this example, the wires 5 extend on either side of the diameter of the part 2, so that the wires 5 are wedged by two zones 4 which are delimited by surfaces with complementary inclined profile, namely the surface of external revolution 7 of the male part 2 and the surface of the bore 6.

Bien entendu, les pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3 peuvent être réalisées sous d'autres formes que celles représentées aux fig. 1 et 2. A titre d'exemple, la fig. 3 illustre les pièces 2 et 3 présentant des formes trapézoidales complémentaires, dont les faces planes principales 8 et 9, respectivement des pièces 2 et 3, délimitent deux zones de coincement 4. Par exempLe, les faces principales 8 de la pièce mâle 2 sont parallèles entre elles, tandis que les faces 9 de la pièce femelle 3 sont également parallèles, de sorte que le jeu séparant les faces 8, 9 en regard, permet d'assurer le coincement des fils 5. De préférence mais non exclusivement, les deux faces planes 8 et 9 peuvent présenter une inclinaison complémentaire pour faciliter le coincement des fils 5. Of course, the male 2 and female 3 parts can be produced in other forms than those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. By way of example, FIG. 3 illustrates the parts 2 and 3 having complementary trapezoidal shapes, whose main flat faces 8 and 9, respectively of the parts 2 and 3, delimit two wedging zones 4. For example, the main faces 8 of the male part 2 are parallel between them, while the faces 9 of the female part 3 are also parallel, so that the clearance separating the faces 8, 9 facing each other, makes it possible to wedge the wires 5. Preferably but not exclusively, the two faces planes 8 and 9 may have an additional inclination to facilitate the wedging of the wires 5.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de L'invention, les pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3 sont équipées de moyens assurant
Leur immobilisation relative lorsque ces pièces sont emboîtées L'une dans L'autre. Ces moyens d'immobilisation sont constitués, par exempLe, par des éléments de structures complémentaires portés par les pièces mâle et femelle, tels que, par exemple, des dégagements, des Lumières ou des rainures 12 réalisés, au moins
Localement, sur la surface périphérique de la pièce 2 et destinés à coopérer avec des crans, des ergots ou des saillies 13 ménagés à l'intérieur de la pièce 13.
According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the male 2 and female 3 parts are equipped with means ensuring
Their relative immobilization when these parts are fitted into one another. These immobilization means are constituted, for example, by elements of complementary structures carried by the male and female parts, such as, for example, clearances, lights or grooves 12 made, at least
Locally, on the peripheral surface of the part 2 and intended to cooperate with notches, lugs or projections 13 formed inside the part 13.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de
L'invention, L'une des pièces, à savoir la pièce mâle 2 dans
L'exemple illustré, comporte au moins une échancrure 14 facilitant la préhension du fil, en vue de son coincement dans la zone 4.
According to another advantageous characteristic of
The invention, One of the parts, namely the male part 2 in
The example illustrated comprises at least one notch 14 facilitating the gripping of the wire, with a view to its jamming in zone 4.

L'échancrure 14 est ménagée selon le diamètre de la pièce mâle 2, selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire au sens d'emboîtement des pièces, représentée par la flèche f. La pièce mâle 2 maintient ainsi les fils 5 lors de l'introduction de la pièce mâle 2 à l'intérieur de la pièce femelle 3.The notch 14 is formed according to the diameter of the male part 2, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of interlocking of the parts, represented by the arrow f. The male part 2 thus holds the wires 5 during the introduction of the male part 2 inside the female part 3.

La méthode ou le procédé pour bloquer un fil en coeliochirurgie par le dispositif selon L'invention découle directement de la description qui précède. Tel que cela apparaît plus précisément à la fig. 4, la mise en place de ce dispositif de blocage s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un instrument 16 de conception classique, comportant un piston 18 commandé en coulissement dans un fourreau 19 par l'intermédiaire d'une tige 20. The method or method for blocking a thread in laparoscopic surgery with the device according to the invention follows directly from the above description. As shown more precisely in FIG. 4, the positioning of this blocking device is effected by means of an instrument 16 of conventional design, comprising a piston 18 controlled to slide in a sheath 19 by means of a rod 20.

Il est rappelé que le fourreau présente, généralement, une section de L'ordre de 10 mm et une longueur de l'ordre de 400 mm. L'instrument délimite, à son extrémité destinée à être insérée à l'intérieur de l'organisme d'une personne, un puits 22 de chargement et d'éjection pour au moins un dispositif de. It is recalled that the sheath generally has a section of the order of 10 mm and a length of the order of 400 mm. The instrument defines, at its end intended to be inserted inside the body of a person, a well 22 for loading and ejection for at least one device.

blocage 1. blocking 1.

A titre d'exemple, le piston 18 maintient, en coopération avec un organe élastique 25 porté par le fourreau 19, les pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3 partiellement emboîtées L'une dans l'autre. By way of example, the piston 18 maintains, in cooperation with an elastic member 25 carried by the sheath 19, the male 2 and female 3 parts partially nested one inside the other.

Après l'introduction de l'extrémité inférieure de l'instrument 16, à l'intérieur de l'organisme, L'instrument est déplacé pour permettre d'engager le ou les fils à bloquer, à l'intérieur de.After the introduction of the lower end of the instrument 16, inside the body, the instrument is moved to allow engaging the wire or wires to be blocked, inside.

L'échancrure 14.The notch 14.

Le piston 18 est alors déplacé en coulissement pour assurer l'emboîtement des pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3, de manière à coincer le ou les fils dans les zones 4. Le piston 18 est déplacé de manière que les crans 13 coopèrent avec les rainures 12, en vue d'obtenir une immobilisation relative des deux pièces. Le piston 18 est alors repoussé, de sorte que le dispositif de blocage 1, sollicité élastiquement par L'élément 25, est désolidarisé de l'instrument pour être laissé en place à l'intérieur de l'organisme. The piston 18 is then moved in sliding fashion to ensure the fitting of the male 2 and female 3 parts, so as to wedge the wire or wires in the zones 4. The piston 18 is moved so that the notches 13 cooperate with the grooves 12 , in order to obtain a relative immobilization of the two parts. The piston 18 is then pushed back, so that the locking device 1, elastically urged by the element 25, is detached from the instrument to be left in place inside the body.

Le coincement du fil par les zones 4, combiné aux moyens 12, 13 permettant d'immobiliser ensemble les deux pièces 2 et 3, assure l'obtention d'un blocage efficace et durable du ou des fils 5. Un tel dispositif offre l'avantage de permettre la réalisation aisée de noeuds par le coincement des deux parties terminales d'un ou de deux fils. Le coincement du ou des fils est grandement facilité par ta mise en oeuvre de l'échancrure 14 qui permet de positionner et de guider le ou les fils pendant toute l'opération de blocage. The jamming of the wire by the zones 4, combined with the means 12, 13 making it possible to immobilize the two parts 2 and 3 together, ensures obtaining an effective and lasting blocking of the wire or wires 5. Such a device offers the advantage of allowing easy production of knots by wedging the two end parts of one or two wires. The jamming of the wire or wires is greatly facilitated by your use of the notch 14 which makes it possible to position and guide the wire or wires during the entire blocking operation.

Bien entendu, le dispositif 1 est réalisé en un matériau apte à être supporté par l'organisme d'une personne et peut présenter une longueur pouvant aller jusqu'à 10 mm. De plus, il peut être prévu de réaliser un instrument jetable après la mise en place d'un unique dispositif ou capable de recevoir une batterie de dispositifs de blocage conformes à l'invention, amenés successivement au niveau du puits 22. Of course, the device 1 is made of a material capable of being supported by the body of a person and can have a length of up to 10 mm. In addition, provision may be made for a disposable instrument after the installation of a single device or capable of receiving a battery of locking devices according to the invention, brought successively to the level of the well 22.

La fig. 5 illustre, à titre d'exemple, une autre variante de réalisation d'un instrument 16 susceptible d'être utilisé en coeliochirurgie pour assurer la mise en place d'un dispositif de blocage 1 conforme à L'invention. Selon cette variante, les pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3 sont maintenues ensemble lors de leur introduction à l'intérieur de l'organisme, par l'intermédiaire du piston 18 comportant un épaulement 23 de centrage de la pièce femelle 3 et à L'aide d'un lien 26 fixé à La pièce mâle 2 et sur le fourreau extérieur 19. Le déplacement relatif du fourreau 19 par rapport au piston 18 permet d'assurer l'engagement de la pièce mâle 2 à l'intérieur de la pièce femelle 3. La rupture du lien 26 après L'emboîtement complet des deux pièces permet de laisser en place le dispositif de blocage selon l'invention. Fig. 5 illustrates, by way of example, another alternative embodiment of an instrument 16 capable of being used in laparoscopic surgery to ensure the establishment of a blocking device 1 according to the invention. According to this variant, the male 2 and female 3 parts are held together during their introduction inside the body, by means of the piston 18 comprising a shoulder 23 for centering the female part 3 and using a link 26 fixed to the male part 2 and on the outer sheath 19. The relative movement of the sheath 19 relative to the piston 18 makes it possible to ensure the engagement of the male part 2 inside the female part 3 The rupture of the link 26 after the complete fitting of the two parts allows the locking device according to the invention to be left in place.

Les fig. 6 et 7 illustrent une autre variante de réalisation du dispositif de blocage 1 selon l'invention. Selon cette variante, les pièces mâle 2 et femelle 3 sont articulées selon une ligne commune de pivotement 27. La pièce mâle 2 se présente sous la forme d'une coque dont le fond 30 est bordé par deux flancs latéraux 31 présentant chacun une forme trapézoidale. Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate another alternative embodiment of the locking device 1 according to the invention. According to this variant, the male 2 and female 3 parts are articulated along a common pivot line 27. The male part 2 is in the form of a shell whose bottom 30 is bordered by two lateral flanks 31 each having a trapezoidal shape .

Tel que cela apparaît plus précisément à la fig 7, les flancs 31 sont évasés pour délimiter, avec les flancs 32 de la pièce mâle 2, deux zones de coincement 4 pour un fil 5. Avantageusement, il est prévu de réaliser, sur le fond 30 de la pièce femelle 3, une languette 35 destinée à coopérer avec une rainure 36 pratiquée dans la pièce mâle 2. Une telle configuration forme une chicane constituant une zone supplémentaire de coincement pour le fil, permettant d'assurer un blocage fixe d'un fil.As shown more precisely in FIG. 7, the flanks 31 are flared to delimit, with the flanks 32 of the male part 2, two wedging zones 4 for a wire 5. Advantageously, provision is made to make, on the bottom 30 of the female part 3, a tongue 35 intended to cooperate with a groove 36 formed in the male part 2. Such a configuration forms a baffle constituting an additional zone of jamming for the wire, making it possible to ensure a fixed blocking of a wire.

D'une façon avantageuse, la pièce mâle 2 est aménagée pour comporter du moins une échancrure 14 ménagée à partir de la ligne de pivotement 27, de manière à assurer, d'une part, l'engagement du fil et, d'autre part, à éviter tout glissement du fil lors du pivotement relatif des deux pièces. Le blocage définitif de ces deux pièces peut être assuré par l'intermédiaire d'un ergot 13 ménagé sur la pièce mâle 2 et destiné à coopérer avec un logement 12 pratiqué sur le retour 37 de la pièce femelle 3. Advantageously, the male part 2 is arranged to comprise at least one notch 14 formed from the pivot line 27, so as to ensure, on the one hand, the engagement of the wire and, on the other hand , to avoid any slip of the wire during the relative pivoting of the two parts. The final blocking of these two parts can be ensured by means of a lug 13 formed on the male part 2 and intended to cooperate with a housing 12 formed on the return 37 of the female part 3.

Bien entendu, la mise en place d'un tel dispositif est effectuée à l'ai de d'un instrument pourvu, à son extrémité, d'un système à pinces, pour assurer le pivotement et l'emboîtement des pièces 2 et 3. Of course, the installation of such a device is carried out with the aid of an instrument provided, at its end, with a clamp system, to ensure the pivoting and nesting of parts 2 and 3.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre.  The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown, since various modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope.
