The invention relates to a device for effecting a post-venous surgery or post-endovenous treatment compression, which comprises a sleeve (2) of an elastic material, and also comprises an essentially cylindrical insert (5) that can be inserted between the leg and the sleeve (2) perpendicularly to a predetermined path.

Description

Dispositif de compression post-chirurgie veineuse bu post-traitement endoveineux du membre inférieur. Venous post-surgery compression device after endovenous treatment of the lower limb.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de compression destiné à prévenir la formation d'un hématome ou une réaction inflammatoire dans la jambe d'un patient auquel on a, par exemple, retiré la vejlne grande saphène ou saphène interne ou qui a subi d'une manière plus générale une intervention endoveineuse équivalente (par action thermique ou chimique) .The present invention relates to a compression device for preventing the formation of a hematoma or an inflammatory reaction in the leg of a patient to whom, for example, the long saphenous vein or saphenous vein has been removed or has undergone More generally, equivalent endovenous intervention (by thermal or chemical action).
ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Le retrait de cette veine est une opération cou- rante. L'espace libéré par le retrait de l'organe à l'intérieur de la jambe est à la suite de l'intervention, le siège de la formation d'un épanchement sanguin à l'origine d'un hématome très inconfortable pour le patient.The removal of this vein is a common operation. The space released by the removal of the organ inside the leg is after the intervention, the seat of the formation of a blood effusion causing a hematoma very uncomfortable for the patient .
Afin de limiter cet épanchement, en plus d'un traitement médicamenteux approprié, on place sur la jambe du patient un manchon ou un bas de compression qui agit de manière extérieure pour comprimer la jambe et ce en général de la cheville à l'aine. On sait que pour comprimer correctement l'espace libéré par le retrait de la veine (le canal saphénien par exemple) il convient d'exercer une pression centripète sur le membre de plus de 50 hectopascals (40 mm de mercure) . La dégressivité de pression liée à la forme du membre conduirait à une pression engendrée au niveau de la cheville de l'ordre d'au moins le double de cette valeur, ce. qui n'est pas supportable par le patient.In order to limit this effusion, in addition to a suitable medicinal treatment, a compression sleeve or sock is placed on the patient's leg which acts externally to compress the leg and this in general from the ankle to the groin. It is known that to properly compress the space released by the removal of the vein (the saphenous canal for example) it is appropriate to exert a centripetal pressure on the limb of more than 50 hectopascals (40 mm of mercury). The degressivity of pressure related to the shape of the limb would lead to a pressure generated at the ankle of the order of at least twice this value, this . which is not bearable by the patient.
Il existe des dispositifs comprenant des manchons séparés grâce auxquels on peut ajuster la pression exercée sur telle ou telle partie d'un membre (la cheville, le mollet, la cuisse...) . Ceux-ci ne peuvent cependant pas convenir car il n'est actuellement pas possible de disposer d'un manchon qui comprime la cuisse à la valeur utile au comblement du canal saphénien. OBJET DE L'INVENTIONThere are devices comprising separate sleeves through which one can adjust the pressure exerted on a particular part of a limb (ankle, calf, thigh ...). These, however, can not be suitable because it is currently not possible to have a sleeve that compresses the thigh to the useful value filling the saphenous canal. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne ce problème particulier de comblement d'un espace anatomique libéré à la suite d'une intervention chirurgicale e,t notamment le ca- nal saphénien ou de compression de la grande veine sa- phène après traitement endoveineux.The present invention relates to this particular problem of filling an anatomical space released as a result of surgery e, t including the saphenous canal or compression of the large vein sphen after endovenous treatment.
RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A cet effet, l'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de compression post-chirurgie veineuse ou post-traitement endoveineux d'un membre inférieur, comportant un manchon en matériau élastique, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un insert sensiblement cylindrique susceptible d'être intercalé entre la jambe et le manchon ou bas au droit d'un trajet prédéterminé. Dans une application préférée de l'invention, il s'agit de la chirurgie veineuse et notamment du "strip- ping" de la veine grande saphène qui demande de combler au moins partiellement le canal saphénien. L'orthèse selon l'invention se compose donc d'un bas qui enveloppe la totalité de la jambe et un insert à placer à la partie supérieure de ce manchon au niveau de la cuisse pour combler le canal saphénien. Cet insert agit comme un "concentrateur" de compression entre le bas (manchon) et la jambe. De manière avantageuse, au moins la surface deFor this purpose, the subject of the invention is therefore a post-venous compression device or endovenous post-treatment of a lower limb, comprising a sleeve of elastic material, characterized in that it comprises a substantially cylindrical insert capable of be inserted between the leg and the sleeve or down to the right of a predetermined path. In a preferred application of the invention, it is venous surgery and especially the "streaking" of the great saphenous vein which requires at least partially filling the saphenous canal. The orthosis according to the invention therefore consists of a bottom that envelops the entire leg and an insert to be placed at the upper part of this sleeve at the thigh to fill the saphenous canal. This insert acts as a "concentrator" of compression between the bottom (sleeve) and the leg. Advantageously, at least the surface of
1 ' insert au contact de la jambe est portée par une couche de matériau compressible. Cette couche rend le contact avec la peau du patient moins brutale, ce qui augmente le confort du port du dispositif. Du point de vue de la structure de l'invention,The insert in contact with the leg is carried by a layer of compressible material. This layer makes the contact with the skin of the patient less brutal, which increases the comfort of wearing the device. From the point of view of the structure of the invention,
1 ' insert comporte une âme centrale incompressible logée dans un fourreau compressible. Dans ce mode de réalisation, 1 ' insert est réversible puisqu'il présente de la matière ou mousse compressible sur au moins deux faces opposées. Le dispositif de compression peut ainsi concer- ner indifféremment l'une l'autre des jambes d'un patient. La section de cet insert sera de préférence oblongue avec son grand axe, en service, sensiblement parallèle à la peau du patient de manière à créer un, gradient de pres- sion à variation progressive de part et d'autre de la dimension longitudinale de 1 ' insert .The insert comprises an incompressible central core housed in a compressible sheath. In this embodiment, the insert is reversible since it has compressible material or foam on at least two opposite faces. The compression device can thus relate to indifferently one another legs of a patient. The section of this insert will preferably be oblong with its major axis, in use, substantially parallel to the skin of the patient so as to create a gradient of pressure with progressive variation on either side of the longitudinal dimension of 1 insert.
On notera également qu'à l'une au moins de ses extrémités, 1 ' insert est d'épaisseur décroissante afin, notamment au niveau de l'articulation du genou, d'amélio- rer le confort du patient qui le porte.It will also be noted that at at least one of its ends, the insert is of decreasing thickness, in particular at the level of the knee joint, to improve the comfort of the patient wearing it.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description donnée ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation de cette dernière.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description given below of an embodiment of the latter.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONFIG. 6 schematically illustrates the possible deformation of the insert inside the compression bottom of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Le bas représenté à la figure 1 est un bas 1 connu en lui-même avec une partie supérieure 2 pour raan- chonner la cuisse, une partie intermédiaire 3 pour raan- chonner le mollet et une partie de pied 4. Le bas représenté est en une seule pièce mais ce n'est pas sortir du cadre de l'invention de prévoir un bas en plusieurs manchons séparés qui viennent recouvrir la jambe après une opération.The bottom shown in FIG. 1 is a bottom 1 known in itself with an upper part 2 for rasping the thigh, an intermediate part 3 for rasping the calf and a foot part 4. The bottom shown is in one piece but this is not beyond the scope of the invention to provide a stocking in several separate sleeves that cover the leg after an operation.
A la partie supérieure de ce bas, comme représen- té à la figure 2, l'invention propose d'adjoindre un insert 5 sensiblement cylindrique sur une hauteur sensiblement égale à celle de la cuisse du patient, c'est-à-dire à celle du manchon 2 supérieur du bas.In the upper part of this bottom, as represented in FIG. 2, the invention proposes to add a substantially cylindrical insert 5 to a height substantially equal to that of the thigh of the patient, that is to say to that of the upper sleeve 2 of the bottom.
L 'insert 5, comme visible en coupe à la figure 3, est logé le long de la paroi intérieure du manchon 2 et ce, dans le cas d'un retrait de la veine grande saphène, à l'intérieur de la cuisse d'un patient sur laquelle il porte par surface 5a. Cet insert 5 est fixé par tous moyens adaptés à la surface intérieure 2a du manchon 2 , ces moyens adaptés pouvant être des passants, un fourreau 6, un textile auto agrippant 7, .... De manière avantageuse, dans le dispositif de l'invention, la partie « bas » de ce dispositif, au niveau de son manchon supérieur 2, comprend deux moyens de fixation de l ' insert à l'opposé diamétral l'un de l'autre de manière que le bas puisse convenir pour n'importe quelle jambe gauche ou droite d'un patient.The insert 5, as seen in section in Figure 3, is housed along the inner wall of the sleeve 2 and, in the case of a removal of the saphenous vein, inside the thigh of a patient on whom he is wearing by surface 5a. This insert 5 is fixed by any means adapted to the inner surface 2a of the sleeve 2, these adapted means being able to be loops, a sheath 6, a self-gripping textile 7, .... Advantageously, in the device of the the "bottom" part of this device, at its upper sleeve 2, comprises two means for fixing the insert diametrically opposite to each other so that the bottom may be suitable for n ' any left or right leg of a patient.
La section de l ' insert 5 représentée à la figure 4 illustre un mode de réalisation de ce dernier dans Ie- quel un noyau intérieur 8, qui peut être plein ou tubu- laire, mais sensiblement indéformable en compression radiale, est entouré d'une enveloppe de mousse 9 en forme d'amande autour de l'anneau, c'est-à-dire avec une dimension plus grande que l'autre. Le long de cette grande di- mension 10 de la section de l ' insert 5, le noyau 8 peut comporter des ailes extérieures 11 qui viennent stabiliser en torsion le comportement de l' insert.The section of the insert 5 shown in FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the latter in which an inner core 8, which may be solid or tubular, but substantially indeformable in radial compression, is surrounded by a almond-shaped foam envelope 9 around the ring, that is to say with one dimension larger than the other. Along this large dimension 10 of the section of the insert 5, the core 8 may comprise outer wings 11 which stabilize in torsion the behavior of the insert.
La figure 5 illustre une coupe selon le plan V-V de la figure 4 de l ' insert 5 au niveau de l'une 5b de ses extrémités. On constate qu'à ce niveau, l ' insert et no- tamment la lame intérieure 8 de l ' insert a une épaisseur décroissante.Figure 5 illustrates a section along the plane VV of Figure 4 of the insert 5 at a 5b of its ends. It can be seen that at this level, the insert and In addition, the inner blade 8 of the insert has a decreasing thickness.
Enfin, à la figure 6, on retrouve certains des éléments déjà décrits avec les mêmes références. On a il- lustré par la ligne 12 l'axe longitudinal d'un insert conforme à l'invention et la forme qu'il est possible de lui conférer pour ajuster la position de l ' insert en fonction de la forme du canal saphénien à combler. Pour obtenir une mise en forme aisée de l' insert, on aura pré- vu de le constituer avec une âme 8 qui peut se déformer de manière permanente et aisément à la main par le chirurgien le long de son axe longitudinal 12. Finally, in Figure 6, we find some of the elements already described with the same references. The line 12 illustrates the longitudinal axis of an insert according to the invention and the shape that can be conferred on it to adjust the position of the insert as a function of the shape of the saphenous channel. fill. In order to obtain easy shaping of the insert, provision will be made to form it with a core 8 which can deform permanently and easily by hand by the surgeon along its longitudinal axis 12.
