Definitions
- the present invention relates to an intra-laryngeal prosthesis. More particularly, the invention relates to an intra-laryngeal prosthesis comprising a sealing skirt.
- One of the main functions of the larynx is to seal, during swallowing, the lower airways (or respiratory) to protect them and prevent the bolus from entering, instead of passing through the esophagus.
- This obturation is done by a mechanism of neuromuscular reflex of sequential closure on four floors of the larynx, going from the bottom to the top: vocal folds (glottis), ventricular bands, aryepiglottic folds and epiglottis.
- vocal folds glottis
- ventricular bands ventricular bands
- aryepiglottic folds aryepiglottic folds
- epiglottis epiglottis
- an intra-laryngeal prosthesis configured to be introduced into a larynx, the prosthesis comprising a tubular body having a proximal end surrounding a proximal opening and a distal end surrounding an opening.
- valve having a proximal end and a distal end and a hinge connecting the proximal end of the valve to the proximal end of the tubular body so that the valve can be placed in a normal position in which it covers the proximal opening or in an open position in which it does not cover the proximal opening.
- the valve is arranged in such a way that, in the normal position, the distal end of the valve forms a rim which covers a part of the tubular body and that a space exists between the distal end of the valve and the tubular body so that air can enter the proximal opening of the tubular body through this space.
- the invention aims to remedy this technical problem and proposes for this purpose an intra-laryngeal prosthesis comprising an upper part comprising an inner wall and an outer wall connected by a plurality of ribs, this structure forming a sealing skirt permitting adapt the shape of the upper part of the prosthesis to the morphology of the larynx.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to an intralaryngeal prosthesis (ILP) intended to be introduced into a larynx; said prosthesis having an upper portion (PH) comprising:
- tubular inner wall comprising a first end, said upper end, and a second end, said lower end; a tubular outer wall comprising a first end, said upper end and a second end, said lower end; said outer wall surrounding at least a portion of the inner wall; a plurality of ribs extending in the direction of the main axis (X) of the prosthesis and connecting the inner wall to the outer wall forming a plurality of cells between the inner wall (1) and the outer wall.
- the upper end is so designated because it is at the top when the prosthesis is placed in situ, that is to say on the side of the throat.
- the lower end is down, on the side of the trachea. The presence of a lower part is described later, but the prosthesis may not have such a low part.
- the plurality of ribs extending in the direction of the main axis (X) of the prosthesis and connecting the inner wall to the outer wall forming a plurality of cells between the inner wall (1) and the outer wall extends between the upper and lower ends.
- this plurality of ribs extends only over a portion of the prosthesis, from the upper end.
- the plurality of ribs extends over several portions of the prosthesis, the plurality of rib portions being separated,
- These cells can deform (crush) if necessary depending on the anatomy (variable depending on the individual), which allows a good seal. These cells are thus separated by ribs which thus connect the wall of the outer casing to the wall of the inner duct. Particular attention will be paid to the level of the vocal cord zone (glottal plane) which plays an important role in the sealing.
- tubular is understood as meaning in the form of a tube, that is to say a conduit having a light defined by a wall.
- This conduit may be cylindrical or not.
- the tubular inner wall defines a cylindrical lumen.
- the tubular outer wall is not cylindrical, but has the smooth shape of the middle larynx, and preferably slightly larger than the average dimension of the laryngeal duct, allowing a slight crushing of the outer casing and thus creating the seal.
- the glottis and the upper larynx are non-cylindrical and more triangular in shape with flattened sides. Therefore, the use of a non-cylindrical outer wall of suitable shape makes it possible to conform to the internal laryngeal contours of the human larynx. US Patent Applications 20050177233 and US 20040019387 describe such suitable forms.
- the shape of the outer tubular wall may also be designed by successive iterations using superimpositions on 3D reconstructions of laryngeal ducts, derived from CT scan data.
- the inner wall and the outer wall meet at their first and / or second ends (3).
- the inner and outer walls meet at their upper ends.
- the inner and outer walls meet at their lower ends.
- these inner and outer walls meet at their two lower and upper ends.
- the prosthesis also comprises a tubular lower part (PB) disposed in the extension of the inner wall of the upper part (PH) of the prosthesis, thus forming a tubular conduit.
- PB tubular lower part
- the invention relates to an intralaryngeal prosthesis for insertion into a larynx; said prosthesis comprising a tubular lower part and an upper part, this upper part comprising:
- tubular inner wall comprising a first end, said upper end, and a second end, said lower end; a tubular outer wall comprising a first end, said upper end and a second end, said lower end; said outer wall surrounding the inner wall; the inner wall and the outer wall joining at their first and second ends;
- the lower tubular portion of the prosthesis being disposed in the extension of the tubular inner wall of the upper part of the prosthesis thereby forming a tubular conduit.
- the prosthesis according to the invention ensures a better seal between the upper part of the prosthesis and the larynx.
- the outer wall adapts to the morphology of the larynx, by deformation.
- the presence of ribs and cavities ensures good rigidity to the structure and allows local deformations not to affect the entire upper part of the prosthesis.
- the tubular duct defines a distal opening in the lower part of the prosthesis and a proximal opening in the upper part of the prosthesis allowing the passage of air to the lower airways.
- the intra-laryngeal prosthesis described herein may also have one or more of the following features taken independently or in any technically possible combination.
- the upper end of the tubular inner wall is closed.
- the prosthesis behaves like a plug which prevents communication between the trachea (located on the side of the lower end of the prosthesis) and the mouth / throat of the patient (located on the side of the upper end of the prosthesis).
- the closed end of the prosthesis (which can be dome-shaped) acts as a barrier to prevent food, saliva and other materials from entering the lungs via the trachea, sealing being further ensured by the specific shape of the outer wall and the presence of the cells, to avoid severe false-roads.
- This prosthesis replaces the current treatment (tracheostomy associated with a balloon cannula), which requires important cannula care (aspirations), especially after each meal.
- a kit containing the prosthesis as described can be envisioned, as well as a substantially L-shaped tracheostomy connector, which has a lumen formed between a proximal end (located “outside the patient” via the tracheostomy port) and a distal end (in the lumen of the prosthesis or opening into the patient's trachea), the distal end being inserted into the prosthesis through the opening mentioned above, and opening towards the end lower part of the lower wall.
- a prosthesis geometry has been described in US 4794924 (see in particular the element 70 of Figure 1 of US 4794924).
- the valve is such that the flow of air is essentially from the trachea to the pharynx. In another embodiment, the valve is such that the flow of air is in both directions (trachea towards pharynx and pharynx towards trachea).
- the embodiment using a valve allowing essentially air to pass from the trachea to the throat is generally implemented for patients who would require a laryngeal prosthesis, and to give them the opportunity to speak. These patients could express themselves (with a whispered voice only because the plug is positioned between the vocal cords) while protecting their lower airways.
- This laryngeal plug has at its proximal end a unidirectional valve which has 2 positions:
- a so-called "phonation" position the valve opens upwards when the patient wishes to express himself (generating a pressure).
- the tracheostomy tube 70 may comprise a unidirectional directional valve that allows air to enter the lungs via tube 70 but does not allow air to exit through tube 70.
- the air exhaled from the patient's lungs then passes into the prosthesis according to the invention, through the opening located at the upper end. Exhalation through the prosthesis helps purge the lungs and trachea and keep the prosthesis free of mucus.
- a valve is preferably placed at the upper end of the prosthesis, which opens upwards (towards the pharynx), under the effect of the pressure exerted by the exhaled air.
- the presence of the valve allows to keep closed the upper end of the prosthesis in the absence of expiration of the patient, and avoids the entry of undesired material (food bolus, water, saliva ...) in the trachea.
- kits comprising a prosthesis as described above, as well as an L-shaped connector, as described in US 4794924, and shown in FIG. 4 of this patent, is contemplated.
- One end of the T of this connector can be inserted into the lower end of the inner conduit of the prosthesis, the other leg of the T being introduced into the trachea, and the foot of the T passing through the tracheostomy hole.
- the surface of the outer wall is in contact with the inner surface of the larynx.
- this outer surface be smooth to prevent adhesion of dust, mucus or moisture, and to minimize abrasion of the laryngeal mucosa.
- This surface can be treated by any suitable surface coating.
- the wall of the inner duct is more rigid (generally thicker) than the outer wall. The ribs are enough that can dampen the deformation to avoid transmitting on the opposite rib.
- the upper part may have 6 or 8 cells. However, it may have fewer than 6 and more than 8 cells.
- the angular distribution of these cells may be variable: some areas of the outer envelope of the prosthesis may need to be reinforced with more cells (every 20 ° for example) and vice versa (every 45 ° for example).
- the thickness of the outer shell is about 0.4 mm and the ribs are about 0.3 mm. These quantities may change in case of redesign if there is a need to increase or decrease rigidity. It is also envisaged to have ribs of different thicknesses: thicker in front and back and thinner on the sides, or vice versa.
- the entire new geometry is designed so that the prosthesis is atraumatic. In particular, all the edges are rounded.
- each cell comprises an opening arranged at the lower end of the outer wall of the upper part of the prosthesis.
- the junction between the outer wall and the inner wall at their lower ends, at the openings of the cells is via a plurality of anchor strips each terminating in an anchoring zone. and in that each opening is delimited by two anchor strips, the width of the anchor strips increasing away from the anchoring zone.
- each opening has an inverted U-shape.
- the outer wall is of substantially cylindrical shape and has a first protuberance, said protuberance extending over a portion of the diameter and at least a portion of the length of the outer wall.
- the outer wall has a second protuberance diametrically opposite the first protuberance, said second protuberance extending over a portion of the diameter and at least a portion of the length of the outer wall.
- diametrically opposed is meant that the projection in a plane perpendicular to the main axis of the prosthesis of the second protrusion is diametrically opposed (central symmetry with respect to the projection of the axis) to the projection of the first protuberance in this same plan.
- the two protuberances may be located at a different height along the main axis of the prosthesis.
- the shape of the prosthesis and in particular of its upper part conforms to the morphology of the larynx.
- the presence of these protuberances thus reduces the discomfort felt by the patient while increasing the seal between the prosthesis and the wall of the larynx.
- the thickness of the ribs and / or the thickness of the outer wall is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm.
- the thickness of the ribs is substantially equal to 0.3 mm and the thickness of the outer wall is substantially equal to 0.4 mm. A good compromise is thus obtained between the rigidity necessary for good mechanical strength and the flexibility required for the outer wall and the ribs to adapt to the morphology of the larynx.
- the proximal opening of the tubular duct is closed by means of a closure face, lateral orifices being able to be arranged on the periphery of the upper part of the prosthesis at the sealing face to ensure the passage of air such as the crenellated orifices described in EP 815 807.
- the proximal opening of the tubular conduit is closed by valves, in particular those described in WO 2013/034858, WO 2009/098408 or WO 2015/032886.

- the movable portion of the valve is configured so that a space exists between the movable part of the valve, and more precisely between its flange, and the upper part of the prosthesis . The air can therefore enter the tubular duct, through this space, without saliva or food bolus entering the tubular duct due to the rim.
- the movable portion of the valve has a lower face
- the hinge is shaped (in particular via a torsion spring exerting a return torque on the valve, or elastically) so that the valve is closed in the normal position when no force greater than a threshold force is exerted on the underside of the valve, and that the movable part of the valve goes to the open position when a force greater than a threshold force is exerted on the lower face of the movable portion of the valve.
- the valve in normal breathing, the valve remains in the normal position and therefore it covers the proximal opening of the tubular conduit so as to protect it.

- a gap exists between the distal end of the movable portion of the valve and the upper portion of the prosthesis so that air can enter the proximal opening of the tubular conduit through this gap.
- the valve is made of titanium so as to avoid deformation of the fixed portion of the valve when the hinge deforms or the movable portion of the valve under the effect of the bolus or saliva.
- the movable portion of the valve comprises centering means disposed on its lower face, the proximal end of the tubular conduit having complementary centering means, the centering means of the movable portion of the valve being arranged to cooperate with the means. complementary to the tubular duct so as to ensure that the movable portion of the valve returns to the desired position when it moves from the open position to the normal position.
- the centering means may be formed by a truncated centering cone projecting from the lower face of the movable portion of the valve.
- the complementary centering means may in this case be formed by a truncated conical orifice formed in a transverse wall of the tubular conduit, the orifice being adapted to receive the centering cone.
- the movable portion of the valve is elliptical so as to better adapt to the patient's anatomy and minimize its bulk compared to the surrounding anatomical structures.
- the lower part of the prosthesis comprises protruding outer protuberances, for fixing said prosthesis in position inside the larynx by supporting said protrusions against an inner wall of the larynx.
- the growths are chevron-shaped. These excrescences make it possible to obtain a good support of the prosthesis when the latter is in place in the larynx.
- the upper part and the lower part of the prosthesis are made of silicone (in particular of hardness between 40 and 70 shores) and the fixed part of the valve is entirely embedded in the silicone constituting the upper part and the lower part. The fastening of the valve with the upper part is thus ensured.
