Definitions
- the invention relates to a balloon button system or a catheter for percutaneous enteral nutrition, which or the holding part which can be placed on the abdominal wall and a probe tube which extends from and is connected to the holding part and via which the connecting part in the holding part introduced food is insertable into the gastric lumen, the probe tube has an inner tube and an outer tube enclosing it, and the outer tube is formed by turning the inner tube inside out at the distal end of the latter and by returning it, and is connected in a fluid-tight manner at its proximal end to the inner tube and can be expanded into a balloon by introducing water or the like via a feed line extending from the holding part and opening between the outer tube and the inner tube.
- PEG percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy
- button systems which are secured against slipping out by means of a balloon or a flexible sleeve.
- the balloon is filled with a liquid from the outside via a valve or the cuff is relaxed.
- the balloon expands or the cuff unfolds into its final shape.
- the restraining member thus formed fixes the system distally.
- the button system is supported by a holding part on the outside of the abdominal wall. Water is usually used as the liquid for unfolding the balloon.
- the probe tube is enclosed by an outer tube lying on the outside thereof.
- the outer tube is connected to the probe tube at both its distal and proximal ends, for example by gluing. If water or the like is then introduced into the space between the outer tube and the probe tube (more precisely between the inner surface area of the outer tube and the outer surface area of the probe tube), the outer tube takes on a balloon-like shape. To make this possible, the outer tube must be made of a sufficiently flexible material, for example silicone.
- the weak points of this known balloon button system are the connection points or glue points between the outer tube and the probe tube, which forms the inner tube in the section in which it is enclosed by the outer tube. These connections or seams proved not to be durable, so that water from the balloon could get into the stomach and the secure fit of the system could no longer be guaranteed.
- balloon button systems have also been developed in which the tube and the outer tube are made in one piece.
- a tube is obtained by turning the distal end of the probe tube inside out and pulling it back over the distal end of the inner tube that then results.
- the distal connection of the inner tube and outer tube can be formed in one piece.
- the outer tube must still be connected to the inner tube at its proximal end by gluing or the like.
- the inner tube and the outer tube have the same flexibility. It has now found to be difficult to choose a type of medium flexibility, so that on the one hand the outer tube is sufficiently flexible to form a balloon, and on the other hand the inner tube has sufficient and necessary stability. This applies even if the wall thickness of the probe tube is varied along its axial length.
- Button systems are also known in which the balloon is formed by retaining members of different design, e.g. Cuffs.
- the balloon is formed by retaining members of different design, e.g. Cuffs.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a balloon button system whose probe tube has sufficient stability and whose outer tube forming the balloon has sufficient flexibility and is permanently and securely connected to the probe tube.
- the probe tube of the balloon button system is essentially a tube-in-tube system.
- the innermost tube forms a so-called support tube, which is enclosed over its entire length by another tube (this additional tube is referred to here as a probe tube for the sake of simplicity).
- This probe tube is turned inside out at its distal end. The inverted area is thus pulled or returned from the distal end via this probe tube in the direction of the holding part.
- This further tube or probe tube thus forms both an outer tube and an inner tube in the region of the distal end of the probe tube.
- the probe tube is also referred to as an inner tube in the latter area, while its inverted area is referred to as an outer tube. This However, the probe tube is in one piece.
- the inner tube thus merges in one piece into the outer tube at its distal end.
- the probe tube has no adhesive connection or the like at its distal end.
- the outer tube at its proximal end must be connected to the inner tube in a fluid-tight manner in the usual way by gluing or the like.
- the support tube enclosed by the probe tube has a greater Shore-A hardness than the probe tube. In this way it is possible to give the material that is expanded into a balloon the flexibility required for this. Furthermore, the tube unit inserted into the stoma and the stomach has sufficient stability and strength due to the greater Shore-A hardness of the support tube.
- the support tube has a Shore-A hardness of 65 to 100 and in particular of approximately 80, while the probe tube has a Shore-A hardness of 20 to 55 and in particular of approximately 40.
- the range specification 65 to 100 and also 20 to 55 encompasses and discloses all the values in between and in particular all the individual values in between.
- the range for the Shore-A hardness from 65 to 100 thus includes at least the following individual values:
- range 65 to 100 stands for example for 70 - 100, 75 - 100, 80 - 100, 85 - 100 and 90 - 100 as well as 65 - 95, 65 - 90, 65 - 85, 65 - 80 and 65 - 75 as well as also for the areas
- the area 20-55 also includes all narrower areas and in particular, for example, 20-50, 20-45, 20-35, 20-30, 25-55, 30-55, 35-55, 40-55, 25-50 and 30 - 45.
- the material from which both the support tube and the probe tube are made is preferably a sprayable material, for example a rubber and particularly preferably silicone.
- the inner support tube is expediently first produced and in particular injection molded.
- This support tube is then shaped by the material forming the probe tube and in particular silicone material, the probe tube extending beyond the distal end of the support tube.
- the hose section or the material from which the outer hose is formed is then connected to the distal end of this probe hose, in which this hose section or this material is returned or turned inside out on the probe hose.
- the wall thickness of this outer tube based on the returned or inverted state, is less at the distal end than at the proximal end.
- the wall thickness or wall thickness can increase continuously or discontinuously.
- the outer tube has a smaller wall thickness at its distal end (in relation to the everted state) than at its proximal end and is therefore more flexible in the vicinity of its distal end, which will be discussed in more detail below.
- the inner tube preferably tapers toward the outer tube, while in this transition region the outer tube then widens again in the direction of its proximal end.
- This information relates to the uninflated state. In other words, at the transition from the inner hose to the outer hose there is a kind of constriction turned radially inwards. If the outer tube is now turned inside out and pulled back over the inner tube, then the probe tube tapers at its free end, with which it is inserted, which facilitates this insertion.
- the holding part resting on the abdominal wall of a patient is also preferably a holding part made by injection molding of silicone, which is also referred to below as a silicone holding part.
- a silicone holding part made by injection molding of silicone
- the proximal end of the probe tube which was preferably produced separately beforehand, is extrusion-coated with the silicone material of this silicone holding part during the injection molding, so that a permanent connection is provided. It is also possible to manufacture the holding part and the probe tube in one operation, e.g. by injection molding.
- the holding part of the system according to the invention also has a connection part which is approximately tubular or funnel-shaped.
- This can be, for example, a connector part similar to a Luer lock.
- This connecting part expediently consists of a hard plastic part, which is overmolded during the production of the silicone holding part by the silicone material used to produce the holding part.
- the connecting part preferably has a radially projecting, at least partially peripheral circumferential ring, which has at least one opening.
- the silicone material not only gets into the opening and fills it, but also encloses the ring, so that pulling out of the connection part in the axial direction is prevented or at least made more difficult by the positive deformation of this ring by the silicon material.
- connection part preferably further has a plurality of radially outwardly directed knobs or ribs, which are either attached to the connection part as such and / or on the lower side of the ring or in one piece with it are formed, the lower side of the ring being the one facing the probe tube.
- Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through an inventive
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view analogous to FIG. 1, but in which some parts are omitted for the sake of better illustration and the balloon is deflated,
- FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the probe tube of the balloon button system according to the invention
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view analogous to FIG. 3, but with the probe tube turned inside out,
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of area A of FIG. 5
- 7 is a side view of a connector
- Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of that shown in Fig. 7
- Fig. 9 is a plan view from above of the connector shown in Fig. 7.
- the balloon button system 1 shown in FIG. 1 in longitudinal section or the catheter shown there for percutaneous enteral nutrition has a holding part 2 which is connected to a probe tube 3.
- the holding part 2 is injection molded from silicone and encloses a connection part 4, which represents a Luer lock-like connection and through which a nutrient solution etc. can be introduced into the probe tube 3 in the usual way with the aid of known transfer tubes (not shown).
- the probe tube 3 is inserted into the stoma of a patient in such a way that the probe tube 3 gets into the stomach and the holding part 1 rests on the abdominal wall. If the system is fixed in place, which will be discussed in more detail below, the nutrient solution or the like can be applied through this system. The nutrient solution then emerges at the free distal end 10 of the probe tube and reaches the stomach.
- the balloon 7 shown in FIG. 1 is used, which is formed in the distal end region of the probe tube 3, which will be discussed in more detail below.
- the probe tube 3 is enclosed by the silicone material of the holding part 2. To manufacture this system, the probe tube 3 is first manufactured separately and then the silicone holding part 2 is molded on.
- a tube of the type shown in FIG. 3 is produced, for example by injection molding.
- the probe tube 3 shown there has a support tube 5 which has a greater Shore-A hardness than the probe tube 3.
- this support tube 5 is formed by the silicone material forming the probe tube 3.
- the probe tube 3 extends beyond the distal end of the support tube 5.
- the end section of the probe tube 3 designated C in FIG. 3 is turned inside out and pulled or returned to the probe tube 3. The situation that then arises is shown in FIG. 5.
- the retracted area of the probe tube 3 represents the outer tube 6 in area D.
- the end section of the probe tube 3 designated C in FIG. 3 thus serves to produce the outer tube 6.
- the inner diameter of this end portion C corresponds over a large area or is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the probe tube 3 in the area over which this end portion C should be pulled back and turned inside out.
- this end section C tapers or its inner diameter becomes smaller.
- This tapered region of the end section C is shown at the right end in FIG. 3.
- This tapered area serves to establish the connection with the probe tube when this end section C has been turned inside out. This tapered area should not subsequently inflate when the balloon is inflated, but should remain on the outer lateral surface of the probe tube 3, as is shown, for example, in FIG. 1.
- the area of the end section C with a larger inner diameter serves to form the outer tube 6 (after being turned inside out) and represents the area which can be inflated into a balloon.
- the wall thickness of the outer tube 6 increases continuously from its distal end 10 to its proximal end 12. The wall thickness of the outer tube is thus less in the vicinity of the distal end 10 than in the vicinity of the proximal end 12.
- the balloon or the outer tube 6 expands more when inflated in the vicinity of the distal end 10 than in the vicinity of the proximal end End 12. This then leads to the outer tube 6 inflating around the connection area glued to the probe tube 3 at its distal end 12 and thus also around the sleeve 11 from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the position shown in FIG.
- connection area 1 shown position folded and thus rests on the outside of this connection area and forms a kind of additional sleeve. Due to the pressure prevailing within the balloon 7, the outer tube 6 is then additionally pressed radially inward in this connection area onto the probe tube 3 (more precisely onto the cuff 11) and the proximal end 12 thereof, as a result of which this connection area is additionally secured.
- the outer diameter of the inner tube 8 decreases towards the outer tube 6.
- the inner tube 8 tapers in this transition region 26 to the outer tube 6.
- the outer tube 6 then, in turn, widens in a funnel shape towards the proximal end 12 of the inner tube and then changes into a continuous area which remains approximately constant up to the tapered area at the proximal end 12 described above.
- the outer tube 6 has, on its inner circumferential surface 13, peripheral circumferential beads 14 which engage in grooves 15 which are formed in the outer circumferential surface 9 of the probe tube 3.
- probe tube 3 and outer tube 6 are glued together in this area A.
- the whole is enclosed by a sleeve 11, as is shown in particular in FIG. 6. This cuff 11 is also glued to the parts which it encloses.
- the probe tube 3 or inner tube 8 is thus formed in one piece with the outer tube 6, specifically in the embodiment shown made of silicone with a Shore-A hardness of approximately 40.
- the support tube 5 has a Shore-A hardness of approximately 80.
- a feed line in the form of a feed hose 16 is integrated into the probe tube 3, which extends in the axial direction and is virtually inserted between the probe tube 3 and the support tube 5.
- the support hose 5 has an axially extending, approximately U-shaped groove, into which this feed line or feed hose 16 is inserted.
- this feed tube 16 is surrounded by the material of the probe tube.
- This feed tube 16 emerges from the region D and thus into the distal end region D of the probe tube 3.
- water can be introduced from the holding part 2 into the space between the outer hose 6 and the inner hose 2 in the area D.
- the state that can be achieved in this way is shown in FIG. 1.
- In the holding part 2 there is a valve 18 of a conventional type, via which the water can be fed into the supply hose 16 via a feed line 19 formed in the holding part 2.
- the holding part 2 is further equipped with a stopper 20 for closing the connecting part 4 and with a stopper 21 for closing the valve 18. These plugs 20 and 21 are connected to the core area of the holding part 2 by means of a flexible area.
- connection part 4 shown in a side view in FIG. 7 has a peripheral circumferential rim 22 with a plurality of openings 23 which are filled with the silicone material of the holding part 2.
- the ring 22 is injection-molded in one piece with the rest of the connecting part 4, specifically from a hard plastic material.
- knobs 24 or ribs are formed, which are also integrally formed on the tubular region 25 of the connecting part 4 and extend radially outward from there. This ensures that the connecting part 4 is axially secured and also secured against rotation.
- the balloon button system according to the invention or the catheter according to the invention has sufficient stability and rigidity due to the greater Shore-A hardness of the support tube 5.
- the lower Shore-A hardness of the probe tube 3 and also of the outer tube 6, one given sufficient flexibility for the material forming the balloon 7.
- the connection between the outer tube and the probe tube at the distal end is in one piece and is therefore particularly reliable in nature. Due to the shape and design of the water-filled balloon, a secure fit of the system according to the invention is ensured.
