Abstract

Adjustable atraumatic suture for approaching the edges of a wound characterized by consisting of two pieces of adhesive tape or other flexible material that has a biocompatible glue on the back and sufficient adhesion so that it does not detach from the skin involuntarily. On the front face consist of a variable number of rings in the longitudinal direction, of sufficient diameter to pass a thread of silk, plastic or any other suitable material of variable length, which when tensioning and knotting exerts an opposite shot between the two adhesive strips with the purpose of conveniently approaching the two edges of the wound. The thread can be continuous or knot independently each two rings facing each other. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Sutura atraumática regulable.Adjustable atraumatic suture.

Object of the invention

La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un equipo para unir de los bordes de una herida de forma atraumática para el paciente, con el que no es necesario perforar la piel. La unión se realizaría pegando a ambos lados de la herida dos tiras adhesivas, estableciendo entre ellas uniones de formas diferentes como se especifican en las reivindicaciones y se aprecia en los dibujos.The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a team for join the edges of an atraumatic wound to the patient, with whom it is not necessary to pierce the skin. The union is would perform two adhesive strips on both sides of the wound, establishing unions between them in different ways as specified in the claims and can be seen in the drawings.

Technical sector

La invención se encuadra en el sector sanitario, tanto en atención primaria como especializada, concretamente dentro del ámbito de la cirugía menor principalmente y como cierre de piel en la cirugía mayor.The invention is part of the health sector, both in primary and specialized care, specifically within from the field of minor surgery mainly and as skin closure in major surgery.

Background of the invention

Actualmente existen en el mercado tres grupos diferenciados de sistemas de unión de los bordes de una herida. Un primer grupo en el que consiguen la aproximación de los bordes de una herida previo agujereado selectivo de los dos bordes de la piel con una aguja que lleva unido un hilo de seda. Los materiales utilizados son una aguja (con distintas formas y calibre) unida a un hilo de diverso material que puede ser reabsorvible o no. El problema que acarrea esta manera de unir los bordes de una herida es la necesidad de agujerear la piel para introducir los hilos que cerrarán la herida.There are currently three groups on the market differentiated from systems of union of the edges of a wound. A first group in which they get the approximation of the edges of a selective perforated previous wound of the two edges of the skin with a needle that has a silk thread attached. The materials used are a needle (with different shapes and sizes) attached to a thread of different material that can be resorbable or not. He problem with this way of joining the edges of a wound it is the need to pierce the skin to introduce the threads that They will close the wound.

Un segundo grupo utilizado para heridas superficiales donde se utilizan puntos adhesivos "steri streep", consistentes en tiras de esparadrapo de unos 4 mm de anchura que aproximan los bordes de una herida. El inconveniente de esta forma de unión estriba en que estas tiras de esparadrapo no permiten realizar curas sobre la herida.A second group used for wounds surface where "steri" adhesive points are used streep ", consisting of adhesive strips of about 4 mm of width that approximates the edges of a wound. The inconvenience of this form of union is that these adhesive strips do not They allow healing on the wound.

En otro grupo entrarían los sistemas de unión intermitentes (principalmente ventrales) cuyo fundamento es el de tener acceso periódico a la cavidad abdominal mediante una cremallera que va cosida con hilo de sutura a los músculos abdominales a fin de poder efectuar lavados o intervenciones quirúrgicas periódicas en el interior de la cavidad abdominal. También aquí es necesario anclar la cremallera mediante hilos cosidos a la piel y músculos.In another group the joining systems would enter intermittent (mainly ventral) whose foundation is that of have regular access to the abdominal cavity through a zipper that is sewn with sutures to the muscles abdominals in order to perform washings or interventions periodic surgery inside the abdominal cavity. Also here it is necessary to anchor the zipper by threads sewn to the skin and muscles.

Technical problem raised

Sería por lo tanto deseable un sistema de unión de los bordes de una herida que consiguiera la aproximación de los bordes de una herida hasta completar la cicatrización, sin necesidad de agujerear la piel, donde a la vez se pudiera visualizar la evolución de la misma, permitiendo incluso la realización de las curas preceptivas. Por otro lado con esta invención al no utilizar hilo cosido con aguja a ambos lados de la herida no deja la cicatriz que produce la perforación de la piel con aguja ni las marcas que dejan los hilos que mantienen la unión de dichos bordes.A connection system would therefore be desirable. of the edges of a wound that achieved the approximation of the edges of a wound until healing is complete, without need to pierce the skin, where at the same time you could visualize the evolution of it, allowing even the realization of prescriptive cures. On the other hand with this invention by not using needle-stitched thread on both sides of the wound does not leave the scar that produces the perforation of the skin with needle or the marks that leave the threads that maintain the union of said edges.

Description of the adjustable atraumatic suture

Este equipo consta de dos tiras adhesivas que se sitúan pegadas cada una a un lado de la herida cuyos bordes se pretenden unir para conseguir su cierre y posterior cicatrización. Sobre estas dos tiras van ancladas anillas de un diámetro suficiente para pasar un hilo que tras tensarlo y anudarlo soportaría la tensión necesaria para mantener la unión necesaria sobre ambos bordes de la herida. Se consigue así que las tensiones se repartan a toda la superficie de la piel que ocupan las tiras.This equipment consists of two adhesive strips that are they are glued to each side of the wound whose edges are They intend to unite to achieve their closure and subsequent healing. On these two strips are anchored rings of a diameter enough to pass a thread that after tightening and knotting would withstand the tension needed to maintain the necessary bond on both edges of the wound. You get so tensions they are distributed to the entire surface of the skin that occupy the strips

Brief description of the drawings

La figura 1 -vista planta- muestra las dos tiras (1) con una lámina adhesiva en la cara posterior (fig. 2 punto 5) situadas a ambos lados de los bordes de una herida (4) en el dibujo simulados con dos trazos rectos. Uniendo estas dos tiras hay un trazo sinuoso que corresponde a un hilo (2) que pasa por las anillas adosadas (3) sobre las tiras adhesivas (fig. 1 y 2).Figure 1 - plan view - shows the two strips (1) with an adhesive sheet on the back side (fig. 2 point 5) located on both sides of the edges of a wound (4) in the drawing simulated with two straight lines. Joining these two strips there is a winding line corresponding to a thread (2) that passes through the attached rings (3) on the adhesive strips (fig. 1 and 2).

La figura 3 corresponde a las mismas tiras adhesivas pero con la siguiente variación: la tira de la izquierda (fig. 3. punto 1ª) lleva cosidos hilos en sentido transversal cada centímetro aproximadamente. En el otro extremo de cada uno de estos hilos va anclada una tira de belcro rectangular de 0.4 x 0.6 cm. aproximadamente (fig. 3 punto 6) cuya misión es unirse al otro lado del belcro (fig. 3 punto 7) que va anclado con la otra tira (Fig. 3.1b).Figure 3 corresponds to the same strips adhesive but with the following variation: the left strip (fig. 3. point 1) carries sewn threads in a transverse direction each centimeter approximately. At the other end of each of these threads are anchored a strip of rectangular belcro of 0.4 x 0.6 cm. approximately (fig. 3 point 6) whose mission is to join the other side of the belcro (fig. 3 point 7) that is anchored with the other strip (Fig. 3.1b).

Description of a preferred embodiment

A la vista de las figuras comentadas anteriormente puede observarse que la invención consta de dos tiras, de longitud variable, que en su cara posterior van impregnadas de un pegamento biocompatible. En la cara anterior ambas tiras llevan adosadas anillas en sentido longitudinal. El diámetro de estas anillas debe ser suficiente para pasar por ellas un hilo de no mas de 1.5 milímetros de grosor. La distancia entre las anillas no debe superar 1 cm. Por cada par de anillas enfrentadas se pasará y anudará un hilo.In view of the commented figures previously it can be seen that the invention consists of two strips, of variable length, which on its back face go impregnated with a biocompatible glue. On the front side both strips carry attached rings in the longitudinal direction. The diameter of these rings must be enough to pass through them a thread no more than 1.5 millimeters thick. The distance between rings must not exceed 1 cm. For each pair of rings faced It will pass and tie a thread.
