Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for penetrating a biological barrier or a biological tissue or composite, in particular for a slow, tissue-sparing penetration of a pointed object through a biological membrane.
- a device for penetrating a biological barrier or a biological tissue or composite in particular for a slow, tissue-sparing penetration of a pointed object through a biological membrane.
- Such a device can be used for example for the implantation of needle electrodes in the cortex, which should proceed with the least possible destruction of the brain tissue.
- Eckhorn et al. "A new method for the insertion of multiple microprobes into neural and muscular tissue, including fiber electrodes, fine wires, needles and microsensors", Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 49 (1993), pages 175 to 179 a method implantation of fine fiber or needle electrodes, in which they are introduced separately from each other with a micromotor driven device with increments of 1 micron in the tissue.
- Electrodes The movement is not continuous, but gradually with step willow of 8.8 microns.
- DE 10 2004 053 596 A1 discloses a method for cell-friendly manipulation of individual cells, in which cell damage is avoided by a very slow manipulation speed. During the manipulation, the cells are given sufficient time to rearrange themselves, so that a cell damage can be bypassed.
- the manipulation tool is provided with a piezoelectric drive or a magnetic drive. drove, which allows adjustment of the slow propulsion speed.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device for slowly penetrating a biological barrier or a biological tissue or composite, which can be realized with less control effort.
- the proposed device comprises at least one object with at least one front pointed end and at least one body with a thickness which decreases either by itself or by external influence with time, the body being arranged on the object such that the pointed end of the Object upon pressure against the barrier or tissue or composite penetrates the barrier or tissue or composite at a rate determined by reducing the thickness of the body over time.
- the penetration rate can not be controlled significantly by the contact pressure, but is primarily determined by the rate of change in the thickness of the body, which is at least almost independent of the contact pressure.
- the body preferably consists of a material with externally influenceable material properties, which makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the body over time by influencing the material properties.
- the pointed end of the object then penetrates against the barrier or tissue or composite, such as a cell composite, while simultaneously affecting the material properties of the material to reduce the thickness of the body with the corresponding one
- the use of the present device does not require a special drive device with which very slow movement speeds must be achieved with high accuracy. Rather, when using the present device, the object only has to be pressed for a long time against the biological barrier or biological tissue or biological composite to be penetrated. This can be done by any means. Alternatively, in one embodiment of the device, the biological barrier or the biological tissue or the biological composite can also apply a corresponding pressure to the biological barrier
- a receiving surface of the body opposite the pointed end of the object is advantageous for the compressive force, which should have an area ratio of at least 10: 1, preferably> 100: 1, particularly preferably> 1000: 1, for the cross-sectional area of the pointed end.
- the pointed object when pressed against the biological barrier or tissue or composite, penetrates it at a rate which reduces the thickness of the body caused by the external influence of the material properties of the material of the body.
- a biodegradable material this is determined by the rate at which the material degrades in contact with the barrier or fabric or composite.
- the speed at which the object penetrates the biological barrier or the biological tissue or the biological composite can be set via the degradation time.
- a biodegradable material is used, which allows a directional degradation. Directed degradation is understood here to mean that the body, upon contact with the biological barrier or the biological tissue or composite, does not decompose simultaneously in the entire volume but mainly from the contact surface.
- the rate at which the object penetrates the biological barrier or tissue or biological composite is also possible to set the rate at which the object penetrates the biological barrier or tissue or biological composite.
- this speed can also be controlled by the targeted external influencing of the material properties of the material.
- the material of the body is chosen so that a penetration rate between 0.1 .mu.m / h and 500 .mu.m / h, particularly preferably between 1 .mu.m / h and 100 .mu.m / h, can be achieved. Due to the correspondingly slow penetration into the biological cell aggregates, tissue damage during penetration is minimized or prevented.
- the material for the body is preferably degradable, shrinking, or volatilizing materials over time. These can be different material classes. Examples of such material classes are:
- SoI gel transitions chemically convertible materials (e.g., outgassing) polymers with variable degree of polymerisation - materials with modifiable modulus of elasticity
- Materials with variable mechanical stability e.g., porous, sponge-like structures
- biological materials liquid or gaseous materials.
- the following mechanisms can, for example, be used:
- Shape memory materials use of biological material, for example of the body's own materials, which grow or degenerate, such as bone / muscle tissue, growth via stress, cell movement (migration), attracting cells into existing structures, use of biochemical elements (artificial muscle)
- Another way of controlled penetration of the one or more preferably needle-shaped objects is that a bellows or
- Hose for example.
- the bellows or hose is filled with liquid or gas which, for example, can diffuse through the permeable wall of the bellows or hose.
- DI water may diffuse through the wall due to the osmotic pressure drop, thereby decreasing the volume and thus the thickness of the bellows or hose and moving the needles into the fabric or composite. Again, a control or a reversal of the movement is possible.
- the shrinking or swelling material is provided with a thin protective layer, For example, a gold layer, coated. If a potential is applied via this protective layer, the layer dissolves with a suitable choice of material, so that the shrinkage / swelling process can be initiated thereby.
- the potential is preferably applied so that there is a potential difference between the outside and the inside of the layer.
- the pointed end of the object preferably has a diameter at the tip which is ⁇ 200 ⁇ m, better ⁇ 10 ⁇ m, particularly preferably ⁇ 1 ⁇ m.
- the preferably blunt body at the front then has a larger diameter than the tip at the front.
- the object is embedded in the body from the tip to a length which at least corresponds to the intended penetration depth of the object into the biological cell network.
- the shape of the body of biodegradable material is insignificant, as long as the front of this body, with which the body is pressed against the biological barrier or the biological tissue or the composite, is not sharp or sharp.
- Front can be in the region of the tip of the object, for example, flat or rounded.
- the body may, for example, have the shape of a plate or a cylinder.
- the object itself may, for example, comprise electrode contacts for stimulation or derivation of bioelectric signals from the tissue. Others too - S -
- Embodiments for example as capillary tubes are of course possible.
- the particular design depends only on the application, on the basis of which the object is to penetrate the biological barrier or the biological tissue or the biological composite.
- the force required for the penetration of the object with which the object must be pressed against the biological barrier or the biological tissue or the biological composite can either be determined experimentally beforehand or derived from possibly known investigations.
- M. A. Howard et al. "Measurement of the Force Required to Move to a Neurosurgical Probe Through In Vivo Human Brain Tissue", IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering 46, No. 7, Juicy 1999, pp. 891-894, a measurement of the forces required for the intrusion of objects in the cortex are required.
- the object lies with its rear side against a substrate on which the body is applied as a layer.
- the object is completely embedded in the layer or the body.
- the tip of the object preferably terminates flush with the front of the body. Of course, this is not always necessary.
- the penetration process does not begin until the layer has been removed.
- a perforated plate having one or more openings through which the one or more tips of the object penetrate into the barrier or tissue or composite.
- Body is formed of a degradable material, bioreactive substances are stored in the body, which are released with the degradation of the body.
- bioreactive substances are stored in the body, which are released with the degradation of the body.
- These may in particular be medicaments which, for example, alleviate or inhibit inflammatory reactions in the tissue or which reduce the cell adhesion of the tissue cells to one another in order to facilitate penetration into the tissue.
- Device is the object completely embedded in the body, wherein the back of the object is spaced from the rear boundary of the body. This allows complete implantation of the object into the biological tissue, for example the cortex.

- Fig. 11 is another example of an embodiment of the proposed device.
- Fig. 12 is another example of an embodiment of the proposed device.
- Fig. 13 is another example of an embodiment of the proposed device.
- Fig. 14 shows another example of an embodiment of the proposed device.
- Means for Carrying out the Invention When implanting objects in biological tissue, for example when implanting needle electrodes in the cortex in vivo, the object has to pass through a biological barrier or tissue invade a biological composite. Ingress usually results in the destruction of biological cells as the penetrating object penetrates or ruptures the cell membrane. Destruction can be avoided if the speed of the penetration movement is sufficiently low, in particular smaller than the rate of rearrangement of the cytoskeleton of the cells at the biological barrier. This is the case for individual cells for speeds of ⁇ 300 ⁇ m / h.
- the low speed is set in one embodiment by the use of a biodegradable material, in particular a biodegradable polymer.
- a biodegradable material in particular a biodegradable polymer.
- the object is first embedded in the biodegradable polymer. This composite is pressed against the biological tissue or biologic barrier using a bias force. The polymer degrades from the surface, gradually releasing the embedded object. Due to the bias or the applied force, it penetrates very slowly into the tissue. Upon complete degradation of the polymer, the object has reached its final position in the tissue.
- FIGS. 10 to 14 show further design possibilities in which other materials with externally influenceable material properties are used, via which a low penetration speed of the object can be achieved.
- Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the proposed device in a schematic representation.
- the needle-shaped object 1 in this example which is intended to penetrate the biological tissue 2 or the biological composite or the biological barrier, is initially completely embedded in a layer 3 of the degradable polymer.
- the needle-shaped object 1 is attached to a substrate 4 of non-degradable material.
- a pressure force 5 is transmitted to the needle-shaped object 1 and the degradable polymer layer 3 via this substrate 4.
- the material is dissolved at the interface between the polymer layer 3 and the biological tissue 2 over time.
- the needle-shaped object 1 is slowly exposed and penetrates under the action of the pressure force 5 in the biological tissue 2 a. Since the degradation of the polymer is very slow, the rate of penetration of the needle-shaped object 1 is so slow that it is below the rate of rearrangement of the cytoskeleton of the cells at the biological barrier, thereby minimizing damage to the cells.
- a suitable degradable polymer is, for example, polyorthoester.
- FIG. 2 shows an intermediate state in which a thin layer of the biodegradable polymer has already been degraded and the needle-shaped object 1 has partially penetrated the biological tissue 2.
- FIG. 3 shows the final state in which the polymer has completely degraded, so that the needle-shaped object 1 has completely penetrated the biological tissue 2 at this point in time.
- FIG 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment possibility of the proposed device in a schematic representation.
- the needle-shaped object 1 is in this case also completely embedded in the layer 3 of the biodegradable polymer, wherein between the rear boundary surface of the polymer body and the back of the needle-shaped object 1 is a distance. By this distance is still biodegradable material behind the needle-shaped object 1. With such a configuration of the device, the needle-shaped object 1 can completely penetrate the biological barrier and close behind again, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
- the needle-shaped object 1 can in this case, for example, consist of a biodegradable material in which bioreactive materials, in particular medicaments, are stored. These drugs are then released with the breakdown of the biodegradable material.
- the biodegradable material of the needle-shaped object 1 is of course chosen so that it degrades more slowly than the biodegradable material 3 of the body, in which the needle-shaped object 1 is first embedded.
- FIG. 6 shows the final state in which the polymer is completely degraded so that the needle-shaped object 1 is here completely implanted in the biological tissue 2.
- the embodiments of the preceding figures each show a substrate 4 behind the body or the layer 3 of biodegradable polymer. This is not essential. Instead, the pressure force 5 can also be exerted directly on the body of biodegradable polymer or the needle-shaped object. This can take place via the biological tissue itself or, for example, also via a stamp 7, as shown schematically in FIG.
- the body 3 of biodegradable material is cylindrical and is guided in a guide sleeve 6.
- the guide sleeve 6 is widened in this example on the side facing the tissue and rests on the fabric 2.
- the body of biodegradable material may be formed in a further embodiment, for example.
- Spherical, with a plurality of aligned in the radial direction needle-shaped objects are embedded in the body.
- the diameter of the body can be, for example, ⁇ 50 ⁇ m in such an embodiment.
- One or more of these bodies are then introduced into the biological tissue, for example injected.
- the pressure exerted on the body by the tissue destroys the biodegradable material of the body and the needle-shaped objects slowly penetrate the cell membrane of the neighboring cells.
- the needle-shaped objects must be smaller than the cells dimensioned. With such a procedure, for example, substances can be introduced into individual cells.
- FIG. 8 shows a further example of the proposed device in which the needle-shaped object or instrument, in this case an electrode structure 13, is held in the desired position via a sleeve made of a rigid capsule 11 which can be tightened and tightened by means of screws ,

- the inner part of the device, ie the shrinking or dissolving mass 14 and with the electrode structure 13 can additionally be stabilized by mechanical side elements 15 and held in position.

- This device can also be placed on a tissue 23, for example the surface of an organism, in order to allow the electrode system 21 to penetrate into the tissue 23 of the organism by shrinking or disappearing the variable material of the body 22.
- the elastic material 24 or another deformable system is used.
- Scales 26 are fixedly connected to the electrode system 21, from which it is possible to read from outside how far the electrode system 21 has already penetrated into the tissue 23.
- a rigid support system 27 is used, which is supplemented by a support plate 25, which may also have a curved geometric shape.
- a rigid enclosure 28 holds the device in an exact position.
- FIG. 10 shows an example in which an electrode structure 31 with differently configured needle-shaped electrodes is pressed into a tissue.
- the electrode structure 31 is thereby with an asymmetrical contact force F in the tissue 34th pressed in.
- the penetration is done by reducing the thickness of the material 32 very slowly, in the range of 1 to 100 microns / h.
- the material 32 is a gel that shrinks due to dehydration
- this process can be controlled by heating elements 33 which are arranged around the body of the material 32. Apertures 35 allow the escape of water or water vapor from the otherwise sealed gel 32.
- elements may also be provided which alter the pH of the gel or passive materials which deprive the gel of water.
- a reverse reaction, ie swelling of the gel is also possible if moisture depots are applied at this point.
- FIG. 11 shows a section of an example of a device which operates similar to the device of FIG.
- the changing material is hereby replaced by piezoelectric body 44.
- On a front side arranged perforated plate 42 are the
- Electrodes 41 are introduced into the fabric 45 by the control elements 44 are moved controlled. By varying the voltage U across the actuating elements 44, the electrodes 41 can be moved out of the tissue 45 both into the tissue 45 and with nanometer precision.

- About the filler neck 56 is a liquid or gas
- the liquid or gas 510 introduced into the housing 58.
- the liquid or gas 510 may be changed via the filler neck 56 and the drain neck 57. This allows controllable swelling or shrinkage of the material 52 by appropriate choice or modification of the liquid or gas, causing the pointed objects 51 to slowly move into the tissue 54 through the perforated plate 53.
