Definitions

  • the invention relates to a medical instrument set with a guide tube and a medical instrument that can be inserted into the guide tube for processing and clearing out tissue in an intervertebral disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies.
  • the invention relates to a medical device with the set of instruments.
  • the invention also relates to a medical method for processing and clearing tissue on a disc space in a disc space.
  • tissue in the affected disc space in particular the gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus) between two adjacent vertebral bodies, is removed before an intervertebral basket is inserted into the disc space to position the vertebral bodies relative to one another to stabilize.
  • This procedure is commonly called a discectomy, nucleotomy, Fragmentectomy, also known as annulotomy.
  • the (intervertebral disc) tissue is usually processed using medical instrument sets with cutting instruments, which are known, for example, from WO 2008/103839 A2.
  • the known instrument sets with the cutting instruments have the disadvantage that they only work for the actual loading, in particular for severing the tissue.
  • the cutting instruments In order to clear the tissue from the site of intervention, the cutting instruments must be carefully removed from the disc space after use and then separate clearing instruments specially provided for this purpose are inserted into the disc space at the site of intervention to clear out the processed tissue.
  • a complete processing and clearing of the intervertebral disc space is often not possible, at least only with great effort, which increases the risk of complications from the intervention.
  • the medical interventions are therefore lengthy, time-consuming and risky.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop a medical cal instrument in which the disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated, and which in particular allows the tissue to be processed as completely as possible and its removal from the site of intervention. The same applies procedurally.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a medical instrument set, the instrument having a shaft which can be rotated about its extension direction, a bristle set having at least two bristles being provided in a distal end region of the instrument, the bristle set having at least one intermediate space has such that when the shaft rotates about the direction in which it extends, the tissue processed can be moved within the at least one intermediate space in a substantially proximal direction, and wherein the guide tube is designed as part of a deflection instrument of the instrument set, the deflection instrument having a device connected in an articulated manner to the guide tube, relative to the guide tube pivotable swivel head having a distal opening into which the instrument is at least partially insertable.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a medical device with an instrument set according to the invention and with one of the following components: A particularly cannulated working sleeve and/or a working channel of an endoscope, the instrument of the instrument set inside the working sleeve and/or inside the working chamber than is axially movable, in particular insertable.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a medical method with the following steps: creating an access to the site of intervention, introducing a set of instruments according to the invention to the site of intervention, rotating the instrument of the set of instruments at the site of intervention about the direction of extension of the instrument in such a way that the tissue at the site of intervention is processed and cleared.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea that the bristles of the bristle set allow gentle treatment of the tissue when the instrument of the instrument set according to the invention rotates.
  • the processing of the tissue due to the bristles is gentle on the bone surfaces of the vertebral bodies arranged adjacent to the ligament disc compartment, especially compared to the known cutting instruments.
  • the instrument ment, in particular its shaft is already rotated about its extension direction for processing the tissue, the processed tissue can be moved in a proximal direction at the same time using this rotational movement by means of the inventive Shen interspaces, i.e. transported from the site of the intervention. This is done, for example, similar to a screw conveyor.
  • the processing of the gelatinous core in the intervertebral disc space is thus easily possible, with its processed fragments being able to be cleared out of the intervention site particularly quickly.
  • the instrument of the instrument set according to the invention therefore combines two different functionalities for which separate instruments have been required so far. Due to the pivoting head of the deflection instrument, a large-scale processing and clearing of tissue is synergistically possible, taking into account the locally prevailing anatomical conditions, in particular the gelatinous core in the intervertebral disc space.
  • the Auslenkin instrument is designed to stabilize and, in particular, to deflect the instrument according to the invention in a user-defined manner. The same applies to the device according to the invention and to the method according to the invention.
  • an axial direction designates a direction that is arranged parallel to the direction in which the instrument extends.

  • tissue that has been processed can move proximally.
  • the set of bristles is at least single-threaded, in particular exactly single-threaded, arranged helically.

  • the degree of hardness of the bristles can be designed so softly that the tissue of the gelatinous core is processed and cleared out, the end plates of the vertebral bodies delimiting the intervertebral disc compartment cannot be processed.
  • the degree of hardness of the bristles can be provided so hard that the end plates of the vertebral bodies can be machined.

  • the tip is designed in particular in the form of a hemisphere.
  • its distal end region can have a radial, in particular conical, preferably cylindrical projection. Due to the radial widening effected by the radial projection, unintentional movement of the instrument in an axial direction is prevented, in particular unintentional leaving of the intervention site, which increases safety overall.
