Description

Implant-test device for surgery application Implantology

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this Descriptive report refers to an instrument, useful in Surgical Implantology, which allows the specialist to obtain a previous diagnosis of the alveolus health status (cavity perforated in the bone mass) where later a implant, in order to assess the viability of osseointegration of the implant and therefore the therapeutic success.

The device is intended to make temperature measurements in the alveolar cavity with a specific thermal probe, through of a test capsule (implant-test tube) inserted temporarily in the socket of the future implant.

Also, if necessary in case of pathology, the test tube  allows to implant it on the bed, a treatment Corrective with therapeutic fluids.

Specifically, the purpose of the Device is to minimize the  risk of implant rejection, either for pathological reasons of alveolar bed or biocompatibility of the material with in the receiving organism

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of devices, devices and equipment Technological medicine for application in surgical implantology.

Background of the invention

Currently the existence of different devices is known and devices intended to measure the temperature in the outdoor area adjacent to the implant base, using thermal probes of various shapes and sizes as a probe or even by means of infrared optical probes.

But this system has the disadvantage that it cannot be measured the temperature at the root of the implant, that is to say in the inside the socket and more specifically that of the bed that is in contact with the root of the implant, because this area would only be accessible by aggressively piercing the bone tissue with the probe to the bed.

Therefore, these measurements cannot accurately detect thermal anomalies that could occur in the area of greatest risk, which is precisely the root contact surface of the implant with the bone tissue (bed).

Likewise, there are also devices to perform antiseptic treatments of the affected area, in case of presenting a local infection, but for the same reason if declares at the root of the implant, neither are these systems effective because they can only act superficially and not directly on the focus of the infection.

Description of the invention

The device of the invention represents a new instrument, which is the basis of a medical-surgical method or procedure, which generically consists of temporarily introducing, in the hole drilled in the bone mass (socket) where an implant will subsequently be inserted. surgical (or any other intracorporeal artifice), a test capsule ( implant-test tube ), composed of the same biocompatible material, usually titanium, and external configuration equal to the root of the future implant, which has an internal axial canalization, accessible from the outside, with the purpose of being able to introduce through it a thermal probe, of specific characteristics, which facilitates successive measurements during the period of time that the specialist deems convenient to obtain a temperature log for diagnostic purposes.

This capsule also has a series of capillaries, which they communicate the inner chamber with the outer surface, which allow  the passage of therapeutic fluids through it, in order to be able to perform a preventive or corrective bed treatment implant to ensure the specialist the absence of pathologies premises that endanger osseointegration, and consequently the success of the implant or surgical device, which subsequently replace the capsule of tests.

Physically, the implant-test device application in Implant surgery object of the invention, is constituted by a basically cylindrical shaped capsule, which has at its base  top of an opening that gives access to a pipe longitudinal culminating in an area near the bottom base, to through which the introduction of a detector probe is performed of temperature and in turn, this channeling communicates with the outside through a series of radial capillary ducts distributed along the body surface area of the capsule.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view, with a cut sectoral, of the body of the test capsule (implant-test tube).

Figure 2.- Shows a sectional side elevation view of the Implant-test tube, object of the invention.

Figure 3.- Shows a section of the device formed by the thermal probe coupled to the capsule, in operational position for capture the temperature inside the socket.

Figure 4.- Shows a schematic section of the device functioned as a fluid irrigator, from the outside to the alveolar bed, through the corresponding circuit.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of these figures can be seen as the device Implant-test tube consists of a capsule (1), manufactured in biocompatible material, usually titanium, which acts as an implant  of tests (implant-test tube), which is inserted into the hole blind (2) (socket), perforated in the bone mass (3), in order to capture the temperature value as faithfully as possible zonal, by means of the probe (4) that has previously been introduced by the upper part of the internal axial pipe (5), staying locked inside in its position operational

It can also be seen that the capsule has a series of fine ducts (6), arranged radially along the axial blind channeling, which communicate this chamber with the contact surface of the implant and the inner wall of the socket, what allows to irrigate from the outside, with fluids medicated, the critical area of the bed implant where they can cause possible infections that cause rejection of the implant, through the circuit formed by the flexible tube external (7), which is coupled by the terminal nozzle (8), to the upper part of the internal channeling (5), in order to, which, due to the pressure exerted on the fluid (9), passes this through the radial ducts (6) thus reaching the area desired.

It is not considered necessary to extend this description to  that any subject matter expert understands the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom.

The materials, shape and size of the elements will be susceptible of variation as long as this does not imply alteration to the essence of the invention.
