Die Erfindung betrifft eine Prothese zum Einsetzen in den Hals eines Lebewesens -- insbesondere in einen menschlichen Rachenraum -- nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a prosthesis for insertion into the neck of a living being - especially one human pharynx - according to the preamble of claim 1.
Seit langem sind sogenannte Stimmprothesen bekannt, von denen eine beispielhaft in der US-A-4 435 853 beschrieben wird als Verweilprothese mit geringem Strömungswiderstand für die prothetische Stimmrehabilitation etwa nach operativem Entfernen des Kehlkopfes eines Menschen wegen eines Kehlkopfkarzinoms. Die Stimmprothese wird in einen künstlich geschaffenen Speiseröhren-Luftröhrengang (ösophagotracheale Fistel) eingeschoben zur Unterstützung des Atmens, um Luft zur Mundhöhle zu führen. Hier dient jene Stimmprothese als Bewegungshilfe in der Art eines Einwegeventils. Die Stimmprothese umfasst ein i. w. zylindrisches Gehäuse aus Silikonwerkstoff mit Ein- und Auslassöffnungen; die seitliche Einlassöffnung mündet in Gebrauchsstellung in die Luftröhre, die -- mit einer schwenkbar als Einwegventil wirkenden Membrane ausgestattete -- Auslassöffnung in die Speiseröhre. Diese Auslassöffnung ist von einem Rohrende mit zur Längsachse geneigter Endkante umgeben, die an einem Radialkragen endet; die Stimmprothese ist in der Speiseröhre durch einen Radialkragen gehalten und greift die vordere Halspartie etwa radial und liegt andernends der Halsfläche des Menschen mittels von ihr abkragender Radialflügel von außen an, welch letztere dann durch Klebebänder festgelegt werden. Diese Stimmprothese wird mittels eines in sie axial einsetzbaren Stabes in die Luftröhrenfistel eingeschoben, der nach der Positionierung zu entfernen ist.So-called voice prostheses have been around for a long time known, one of which is described by way of example in US-A-4,435,853 is used as an indwelling prosthesis with low flow resistance for the prosthetic Voice rehabilitation after surgical removal of the larynx of a person because of a larynx carcinoma. The voice prosthesis becomes artificial created esophageal tracheal duct (ösophagotracheale Fistula) inserted for support of breathing to get air to the oral cavity to lead. Here, that voice prosthesis serves as a kind of movement aid One-way valve. The voice prosthesis includes an i. w. cylindrical casing made of silicone material with inlet and outlet openings; the side inlet opens into Position of use in the trachea, the - equipped with a diaphragm that swivels as a one-way valve - outlet opening into the esophagus. This outlet is from a pipe end to the longitudinal axis surround inclined end edge, which ends at a radial collar; the Voice prosthesis is in the esophagus held by a radial collar and grips the front neck area approximately radial and is located at the her cantilevered radial wing from the outside which the latter are then fixed by adhesive tapes. This Voice prosthesis is made by means of a rod that can be inserted axially into it inserted into the tracheal fistula, which must be removed after positioning.
In Kenntnis dieses Standes der Technik hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, eine in den Rachenraum einsetzbare Prothese zur Verhinderung eines Rachenkollapses bei Schlaganfall od. dgl. Ereignissen zu schaffen. Insbesondere sollen die Therapie des Schlafapnoe-Syndroms und des obstruktiven Schnarchens ermöglicht sowie die Verhinderung von Folgen der Schlafapnoe -- wie zerebraler Schlaganfall, Herzyrhythmusstörungen, Herzinfarkt und Bluthochdruck -- erreicht werden.Knowing this state of the art the inventor set the goal of inserting one into the throat Prosthesis to prevent collapse of the throat after a stroke or the like to create events. In particular, the therapy of Allows sleep apnea syndrome and obstructive snoring as well preventing consequences of sleep apnea - such as cerebral stroke, Herzyrhythmusstörungen, Heart attack and high blood pressure - can be achieved.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt die Lehre des unabhängigen Anspruches; die Unteransprüche geben günstige Weiterbildungen an. Zudem fallen in den Rahmen der Erfindung alle Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei der in der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und/oder den Ansprüchen offenbarten Merkmale. Bei angegebenen Bemessungsbereichen sollen auch innerhalb der genannten Grenzen liegende Werte als Grenzwerte offenbar und beliebig einsetzbar sein.This leads to the solution of this task Teaching the Independent claim; give the subclaims favorable Further training. In addition, all fall within the scope of the invention Combinations of at least two of those in the description, the drawing and / or the claims disclosed features. For specified design ranges, too Values within the stated limits are evident as limit values and can be used anywhere.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Prothese ein Rohr mit netzartiger Wandung aus flexiblem Werkstoff auf, das an Knotenpunkten des Netzwerkes mit Saugnäpfen versehen ist. Bevorzugt ist das Netzwerk aus Silikonwerkstoff hergestellt mit an diesen angeformten Saugnäpfen.According to the invention, the prosthesis has a tube with a net-like wall made of flexible material, which at nodes the network with suction cups is provided. The network is preferably made of silicone material with molded suction cups on them.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dank der Luftdurchlässigkeit des Netzwerkes sowie die Saugfähigkeit der Saugnäpfe eine unerwünschte Verlagerung der Prothese -- und dadurch ein mögliches Ersticken des Prothesenträgers -- verhindert wird. Die aus weichem Material bestehende Prothese wird in den Rachenraum des Prothesenträgers eingesetzt und durch die Saugnäpfe gehalten.It has been shown that thanks to the Air permeability of the network as well as the absorbency of the suckers an undesirable Relocation of the prosthesis - and thereby possible suffocation of the prosthesis wearer - is prevented. The prosthesis made of soft material is inserted into the throat area of the prosthesis wearer and held by the suction cups.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist das Rohr so gestaltet, dass von seinen Endkanten Endbereiche mit -- gegenüber einem Mittelabschnitt -- verändertem Querschnitt ausgehen.According to another feature of the invention the tube is designed so that from its end edges end areas with -- across from a middle section - changed Cross section.
Die wesentliche Ausgestaltung wird dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass beidends eines rohrförmigen Mittelabschnittes Rohrendabschnitte reduzierten Querschnittes angeformt sind. Es entsteht somit im axialen Rohrmittelabschnitt ein geschlossener Rohrraum, wohingegen die Endabschnitte rinnenförmig ausgestaltet sind. Dabei hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, dem Mittelabschnitt ein Viertel der Länge des Rohres zuzumessen. Diese Länge entspricht auch der des in Einbaustellung unteren Endbereiches der Prothese.The main design will be characterized in that both ends of a tubular middle section Pipe end sections of reduced cross-section are formed. It arises thus a closed tube space in the axial tube middle section, whereas the end sections are channel-shaped. there it turned out to be cheap proved to measure a quarter of the length of the tube to the middle section. This length also corresponds to that of the lower end area of the prosthesis when installed.
Bei einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Prothese soll zwischen zwei rohrförmigen Endbereichen ein Mittelabschnitt reduzierten Querschnittes angeordnet sein.In another embodiment of the The prosthesis should have a central section between two tubular end regions reduced cross section.
Als günstig hat es sich erwiesen, zur weiteren Befestigungsmöglichkeit die Prothese durch längenveränderlich Fixationsbänder od. dgl. Organe mit einer Zahnschiene zu verbinden, die bevorzugt teilkreisförmig gekrümmt ist und auf eine Zahnreihe des Prothesenträgers aufgesetzt zu werden vermag.It has proven to be cheap for further attachment options the prosthesis is variable in length fixation tapes or the like. To connect organs with a dental splint, which is preferred part of a circle bent is and can be placed on a row of teeth of the prosthesis wearer.
Es kann auch ein Zungenadapter vorgesehen werden aus einem Steg sowie einem Kunststoffring, der mit zumindest einem Faden ebenfalls im Zahnbereich des Prothesenträgers fixiert wird. Als Fixiermittel können zudem Hautklebestreifen eingesetzt werden.A tongue adapter can also be provided are made of a web and a plastic ring that with at least a thread also fixed in the tooth area of the prosthesis wearer becomes. Can be used as a fixative skin adhesive strips are also used.
Mit dieser erfindungsgemäßen Rachenhülse als Rachenschienung wird die Aufgabe in bestechender Weise gelöst, einen Rachenkollaps bei obstruktivem Schnarchen und dem Schlafapnoe-Syndrom hintanzuhalten.With this throat sleeve according to the invention as Throat splinting is a brilliantly accomplished task To prevent throat collapse in obstructive snoring and sleep apnea syndrome.
