Die Erfindung betrifft einen Körper zum Öffnen, offen halten, zum Bilden und/oder Auskleiden von rohrartigen Durchgängen, z.B. Arterien oder Venen, oder von anderen Hohlräumen.The invention relates to a body for opening, keeping open, forming and/or lining tubular passages, e.g. arteries or veins, or other cavities.
Solche Körper sind bekannt und z.B. in der US-PS 5.071.407 beschrieben. Dabei wird der maschenartige Körper mit aufwendigen Einrichtungen in vorgesehene Durchgänge, z.B. Arterien, gebracht, wo er sich entfaltet und die gewünschte Form einnimmt. Dieser Körper ist zum einen im Aufbau aufwendig und zum anderen setzt er aufwendige Vorrichtungen zum einbringen in die Durchgänge voraus.Such bodies are known and are described, for example, in US Patent 5,071,407. The mesh-like body is brought into designated passages, e.g. arteries, using complex devices, where it unfolds and takes on the desired shape. This body is complex to construct and requires complex devices to insert it into the passages.
Ausgehend von dem obigen Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen.Based on the above prior art, the invention is based on the object of remedying this situation.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.The stated object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
Man erkennt, daß die Erfindung jedenfalls dann verwirklicht ist, wenn es sich um einen Körper (Werkstoff) handelt, der mindestens zwei Zustände mit unterschiedlichen physikalischen EigenschaftenIt can be seen that the invention is at least realized when it is a body (material) that has at least two states with different physical properties

einnehmen kann:can take:
Im ersten Zustand weist der Körper vorzugsweise einen geringen Querschnitt auf, ist flexibel und weichelastisch, ist mit oder ohne Durchbohrung(en) auf seiner ganzen Länge, oder auf Teilen davon, versehen und kann Verzweigung(en) aufweisen.In the first state, the body preferably has a small cross-section, is flexible and soft-elastic, is provided with or without perforation(s) along its entire length or parts thereof, and may have branching(s).
Im zweiten Zustand weist der Körper (Werkstoff) den gewünschten Querschnitt und Durchmesser sowie die gewünschte Starrheit und Elastizität auf, wobei er einen an mindestens einem Ende offenen Hohlraum definiert, und zwar mit gewünschter Wandstärke und Wandbeschaffenheit.In the second state, the body (material) has the desired cross-section and diameter as well as the desired rigidity and elasticity, defining a cavity that is open at at least one end and has the desired wall thickness and wall texture.
Weitere zweckmäßige und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Further expedient and advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
Die allgemeine Funktionsweise des Körpers (Werkstoffes) kann wie folgt zusammengefaßt werden:The general functioning of the body (material) can be summarized as follows:
Der Körper wird mittels eines geeigneten Hilfsgerätes I im ersten Zustand räumlich an die gewünschte Stelle gebracht. An der gewünschten Stelle wird der Körper (eventuell mittels mindestens eines weiteren geeigneten Hilfsmittels II, das mit dem ersten Hilfsmittel I identisch oder ein Teil von diesem sein kann) vom ersten Zustand in den zweiten Zustand überführt. Spätestens dann, wenn der Körper in den zweiten Zustand übergegangen ist, werden die Hilfsmittel entfernt, worauf der Körper an der gewünschten Stelle die gewünschte Form einnimmt, räumlich fixiert bleibt und seinen Zweck erfüllt, nämlich rohrartige Hohlräume (Durchgänge) bildet, die zuvor verengt oder kollabiert oder inexistent waren, öffnet, offen hält oder auskleidet.The body is brought to the desired location in the first state using a suitable auxiliary device I. At the desired location, the body is transferred from the first state to the second state (possibly using at least one other suitable auxiliary device II, which may be identical to or part of the first auxiliary device I). At the latest when the body has moved into the second state, the auxiliary devices are removed, whereupon the body takes on the desired shape at the desired location, remains spatially fixed and fulfils its purpose, namely forming tube-like cavities (passages) that were previously narrowed or collapsed or nonexistent, opening, keeping open or lining them.
Als Werkstoffe oder Materialien sind solche geeignet, die so beschaffen sind, daß sie mehr als einen Zustand einnehmen könnenSuitable materials are those that are designed in such a way that they can assume more than one state

ZustandsformenStates
Im ersten Zustand kann der Körper ein weicher, flachgequetschter Schlauch sein, der um einen in seiner Höhlung liegenden, glatten, flexiblen Führungsdraht aufgewickelt ist. Im zweiten Zustand entfaltet sich und erstarrt dieser Schlauch, so daß er einen durchgängigen Hohlraum bildet und diesen entweder stützt und am kollabieren hindert oder verhindert, daß er sich ausweitet und leckt. Die Wandbeschaffenheit kann außen rauh und innen glatt sein, die Wand kann perforiert sein oder solide oder halbdurchlässig. Der Körper kann im zweiten Zustand (auch im ersten Zustand) auch eine verzweigte Form haben, z.B. ein Ypsilon bilden. Im ersten Zustand kann der Körper auch ein dünner, weicher Schlauch sein, der im zweiten Zustand als eine erstarrte Röhre mit größerem Durchmesser präsentiert (das Umgekehrte eines SchrumpfSchlauches). Im ersten Zustand kann der Körper auch ein weicher, dünner Stab sein, der im zweiten Zustand eine erstarrte Röhre mit größerem Durchmesser darstellt.In the first state, the body can be a soft, flattened tube wound around a smooth, flexible guide wire lying in its cavity. In the second state, this tube unfolds and solidifies so that it forms a continuous cavity and either supports it and prevents it from collapsing or prevents it from expanding and leaking. The wall texture can be rough on the outside and smooth on the inside, the wall can be perforated or solid or semi-permeable. In the second state (also in the first state), the body can also have a branched shape, e.g. form a Y. In the first state, the body can also be a thin, soft tube, which in the second state presents itself as a solidified tube with a larger diameter (the reverse of a shrink tube). In the first state, the body can also be a soft, thin rod, which in the second state presents itself as a solidified tube with a larger diameter.
Funktionsweisefunctionality
Es wird z.B. ein Hilfsgerät C verwendet: Trochar oder Kanüle oder Katheter mit/ohne Führungsdraht.For example, an auxiliary device C is used: trochar or cannula or catheter with/without guide wire.
Ferner wird ein Hilfsgerät D verwendet: Sonde mit Geber für Energie in Form von Licht, Wärme, Schallwellen, Mikrowellen oder Druck. Sonde mit Auslaß für Chemikalien oder Flüssigkeiten oder Gasen. Möglich ist auch eine Kombination von beiden. Sobald der Körper mit Hilfsgerät C an die gewünschte Stelle gebracht wurde,An auxiliary device D is also used: a probe with a transmitter for energy in the form of light, heat, sound waves, microwaves or pressure. A probe with an outlet for chemicals or liquids or gases. A combination of both is also possible. As soon as the body has been brought to the desired location using auxiliary device C,
wird das Hilfsgerät D (eventuell durch das Hilfsgerät C hindurch) mit dem Körper in Berührung gebracht und die geeignete Energieform oder der geeignete, Stoff freigesetzt, so daß der Körper vom ersten Zustand in den zweiten Zustand überzugehen beginnt. Nach der Freisetzung und während oder nach dem Übergang vom ersten Zustand in den zweiten Zustand wird das Hilfsgerät D {eventuell auch das Hilfsgerät C) wieder entfernt. Die freigesetzte Energie kann ultraviolettes oder sichtbares Licht sein, das die Härtung (Polymerisation) des Körpers beschleunigt. Die räumliche Ausdehnung des Körpers kann durch die Härtung (Polymerisation) selbst bewirkt werden oder durch vorherige Ausdehnung mittels eines in den Körper eingeführten Ballons erfolgen. Die räumliche Ausdehnung und/oder der Übergang vom ersten Zustand in den zweiten Zustand kann auch selbstständig erfolgen und/oder in Gang gesetzt werden, und zwar durch Berührung des Körpers mit dem Umgebungsmaterial des Zielortes, z.B. Körperflüssigkeit.the auxiliary device D (possibly through the auxiliary device C) is brought into contact with the body and the appropriate form of energy or the appropriate substance is released so that the body begins to transition from the first state to the second state. After the release and during or after the transition from the first state to the second state, the auxiliary device D (possibly also the auxiliary device C) is removed again. The energy released can be ultraviolet or visible light, which accelerates the hardening (polymerization) of the body. The spatial expansion of the body can be caused by the hardening (polymerization) itself or by prior expansion using a balloon inserted into the body. The spatial expansion and/or the transition from the first state to the second state can also occur independently and/or be initiated by contact of the body with the surrounding material of the target location, e.g. body fluid.
WerkstoffeMaterials
Als Werkstoffe (Material) können geeignete Kunststoffe (z.B. Polyurethan, Äcrylat oder Silicon) sein, die im ersten Zustand noch unvollständig polymerisiert/gehärtet und deshalb noch stark verformbar sind und die durch Bestrahlung mit ultraviolettem/sichtbarem Licht oder durch Erwärmung oder durch Aufnahme von Chemikalien oder Flüssigkeiten oder Gasen beginnen vollständig zu polymerisieren/aushärten, wobei sie sich durch diesen Prozeß selbst ausdehnen oder in derjenigen gewünschten räumlichen Form erstarren, in die sie vorher mit dem Hilfsmittel D gebracht wurden. Der Werkstoff kann auch ein "Memory Shape Alloy" (Legierung mit "Formerinnerung") sein, die durch Temperaturänderung vom ersten Zustand in den zweiten Zustand übergeht. Der Werkstoff kann auch ein im ersten Zustand zusammengepreßter Verbundwerkstoff sein, z.B. ein Vlies oder anderes Fasergewebe, der nach dem Ausdehnen in die gewünschteThe materials can be suitable plastics (e.g. polyurethane, acrylate or silicone) which in the first state are still incompletely polymerized/hardened and therefore still highly deformable and which begin to fully polymerize/harden when exposed to ultraviolet/visible light or when heated or when chemicals or liquids or gases are absorbed, whereby they expand themselves through this process or solidify in the desired spatial shape into which they were previously brought with the aid D. The material can also be a "memory shape alloy" which changes from the first state to the second state when the temperature changes. The material can also be a composite material pressed together in the first state, e.g. a fleece or other fiber fabric which, after expansion, returns to the desired shape.

Form durch Zufuhr von Energie oder Chemikalien oder Flüssigkeiten/Gasen zur Verklebung gebracht wird (zweiter Zustand). Der Werkstoff kann auch eine Kombination von Kunststoffen sein, die erst bei innigem Kontakt ihrer Oberflächen vom ersten in den zweiten Zustand übergehen mit/ohne Vermittlung von (flüssigen) Drittstoffen. Das Material kann auch so beschaffen sein, daß es im ersten Zustand dehydriert ist und bei Wasseraufnahme sich räumlich ausdehnt und dabei den zweiten Zustand erreicht. Schließlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die obigen Vorgänge zu kombinieren, und/oder den Werkstoff mit anderen Substanzen zu dotieren oder zu beschichten, welche die Dauerhaftigkeit des Werkstoffes beeinflussen und/oder eine gewünschte Beeinflussung der Umgebung des Werkstoffes bewirken.Form is bonded by supplying energy or chemicals or liquids/gases (second state). The material can also be a combination of plastics that only change from the first to the second state when their surfaces come into close contact with each other, with/without the intervention of (liquid) third-party substances. The material can also be such that it is dehydrated in the first state and expands spatially when it absorbs water, thereby reaching the second state. Finally, it is also possible to combine the above processes and/or to dope or coat the material with other substances that affect the durability of the material and/or have a desired effect on the environment of the material.
