Abstract
Description
On sait que bon nombre d'interventions chirurgicales au niveau du système cardiaque impliquent une sternotomie qui détermine une plaie relativement importante dont la cicatrisation se révèle toujours délicate. We know that many surgical procedures at the level of the cardiac system involve a sternotomy which determines a relatively large wound whose scarring is always delicate.
Pour favoriser cette cicatrisation, il y a bien entendu lieu d'exercer une pression régulière sur la plaie qui affecte le sternum du patient de façon à bien maintenir en place les Lièvres de ladite plaie, mais la localisation de ceLLe-ci, chez L'homme comme chez la femme, se prête très mal à l'application d'une telle pression
Les moyens actuellement mis en oeuvre à cet effet sont le plus souvent rudimentaires. Si l'on entend éviter la pose d'agrafes, toujours traumatisante, on a généralement recours à des bandes auto-collantes à propriétés élastiques, mais l'expérience démontre que ces propriétés sont trop faibles pour engendrer une pression régulière et constante pendant un laps de temps suffisant. La cicatrisation reste donc relativement longue à intervenir.To promote this healing, it is of course necessary to exert a regular pressure on the wound which affects the patient's sternum so as to keep the hares of the said wound in place, but the location of the latter, in man as in woman, lends itself very poorly to the application of such pressure
The means currently used for this purpose are most often rudimentary. If one intends to avoid the installation of staples, always traumatic, one generally uses self-adhesive tapes with elastic properties, but experience has shown that these properties are too weak to generate a regular and constant pressure during a lapse of time. sufficient time. Scarring therefore remains relatively long to take place.
C'est à cet inconvénient qu'entend principalement remédier la présente invention, et ce à l'aide d'une orthèse spécifique constituée par une ceinture ouvrable à fermeture dorsale, laquelle ceinture, établie en un tissu élastique, est échancrée pour prendre place sous les aiselles et est pourvue dans sa partie centrale antérieure d'un coussin de mousse renforcé par un baleinage approprié. It is to this drawback that the present invention mainly intends to remedy, and this using a specific orthosis constituted by an openable belt with dorsal closure, which belt, established in an elastic fabric, is notched to take place under armpits and is provided in its front central part with a foam cushion reinforced by an appropriate whalebone.
D'autres caractéristiques remarquables de cette ceinture sternale ressortiront de la description qui va suivre en référence au dessin annexé, lequel dessin, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :
Fig. 1 est une vue en plan schématique illustrant l'agencement général d'une orthose sternale suivant l'invention, modèle homme.Other remarkable characteristics of this sternal belt will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawing, which drawing, given by way of example, will make it possible to better understand the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which '' it is likely to provide:
Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating the general arrangement of a sternal orthosis according to the invention, male model.
Fig. 2 est une coupe de détail à échelle très agrandie, suivant le plan indiqué en II-II en fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a detail section on a very enlarged scale, along the plane indicated in II-II in FIG. 1.
Fig. 3 et 4 montrent par l'avant, respectivement par l1arriè- re, l'orthèse une fois mise en place sur le thorax d'un patient. Fig. 3 and 4 show from the front, respectively from the rear, the orthosis once placed on the chest of a patient.
Fig. 5 est une vue en plan analogue à celle de fig. 1, mais correspondant à un modèle femme. Fig. 5 is a plan view similar to that of FIG. 1, but corresponding to a female model.
L'orthèse ou ceinture sternale représentée en fig. 1 est constituée par une bande 1 réalisée en tout ou en partie en un tissu élastique, cette bande étant échancrée en 2 de part et d'autre d'une partie centrale 3. Au voisinage de chacune de ses extrémités, le bord supérieur de cette bande 1 est rendu solidaire, par exemple par couture, d'une bre telle de suspension 4 dont l'extrémité libre est découpée d'ouvertures 4a propres à coopérer de manière réglable avec un bouton 5 fixé au bord supérieur de la partie centrale 3. The orthosis or sternal belt shown in fig. 1 is constituted by a strip 1 made entirely or in part of an elastic fabric, this strip being cut into 2 on either side of a central part 3. In the vicinity of each of its ends, the upper edge of this strip 1 is made integral, for example by sewing, with a bre of suspension 4 whose free end is cut out of openings 4a adapted to cooperate in an adjustable manner with a button 5 fixed to the upper edge of the central part 3.
Les extrémités libres 6 de la bande 1 sont dotées l'une de sangles longitudinales 7, L'autre de passants correspondants de renvoi 8. L'extrémité qui porte les sangles 7 est pourvue de deux bandes verticales auto-agrippantes 9 (du type de celles connues sous la Marque de Fabrique "VELCRO", par exemple) aptes à retenir les extrémités desdites sangles une fois celles-ci renvoyées, après serrage, dans les passants 8. The free ends 6 of the strip 1 are provided with one of the longitudinal straps 7, the other with corresponding return loops 8. The end which carries the straps 7 is provided with two vertical self-gripping strips 9 (of the type of those known under the Trademark "VELCRO", for example) capable of retaining the ends of said straps once they are returned, after tightening, in the loops 8.
L'agencement de la partie centrale 3 est illustré en fig. 2. Au tissu élastique 3 est assemblée par couture une doublure interne 10 qui renferme un coussin de mousse 11. L'assemblage des épaisseurs de tissus 3 et 10 est réalisé de manière à définir deux gaines orientées de manière substantiellement verticale, à l'intérieur de chacune desquelles est logée une baleine d'armature 12, établie en matière synthétique. On observera que deux autres baleines, référencées 13, sont prévues obliquement au niveau des zones échancrées 2. The arrangement of the central part 3 is illustrated in FIG. 2. The elastic fabric 3 is assembled by sewing an internal lining 10 which encloses a foam cushion 11. The assembly of the fabric thicknesses 3 and 10 is carried out so as to define two sheaths oriented substantially vertically, inside each of which is housed a reinforcing whale 12, made of synthetic material. It will be observed that two other whales, referenced 13, are provided obliquely at the level of the indented areas 2.
Fig. 3 et 4 font apparaître l'orthèse une fois mise en place sur un patient. Les bretelles 4 sont passées par dessus les épaules de celui-ci de façon à assurer la suspension de la ceinture, les zones échancrées 12 venant se loger au niveau des aisselles. Cette ceinture est susceptible d'être fermement serrée en place à l'aide des sangles 7, des passants 8 et des bandes 9, ces éléments assurant ainsi une fermeture dorsale efficace. La partie centrale 3 avec son coussin de mousse 11 et ses baleines d'armature 12 est en conséquence plaquée contre le sternum du patient. Fig. 3 and 4 show the orthosis once placed on a patient. The straps 4 are passed over the shoulders of the latter so as to ensure the suspension of the belt, the indented areas 12 being received at the armpits. This belt is capable of being firmly tightened in place using straps 7, loops 8 and bands 9, these elements thus ensuring effective back closure. The central part 3 with its foam cushion 11 and its reinforcing ribs 12 is consequently pressed against the patient's sternum.
Les essais cliniques ont permis de vérifier que l'orthèse sternale ainsi agencée assurait une pression parfaitement régulière et favorisait de manière remarquable la cicatrisation de la plaie de sternotomie, cette cicatrisation intervenant dans un délai très court, de l'ordre de huit à dix jours seulement.Clinical trials have made it possible to verify that the sternal orthosis thus arranged ensures perfectly regular pressure and remarkably promotes healing of the sternotomy wound, this healing occurring within a very short time, of the order of eight to ten days. only.
On observera que la réalisation des baleines d'armature 12 et 13 en matière synthétique autorise les examens radiographiques ou radioscopiques post-opératoires, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de retirer momentanément l'orthèse. It will be observed that the production of reinforcing ribs 12 and 13 in synthetic material allows post-operative radiographic or radioscopic examinations, without the need to temporarily remove the orthosis.
Il va de soi que la ceinture sternale ci-dessus décrite ne pourrait convenir à une femme, compte tenu de la morphologie féminine. l'adapta- tion est toutefois très simple, comme illustré en fig. 5 qui repésente un modèle femme. Les baleines d'armature 12 de la partie centrale 3 sont quelque peu rapprochées L'une de l'autre, tandis que les baleines laté rales 13 sont au contraire décalées en direction des extrémités 6, de façon à laisser place à deux ouvertures 14 propres à permettre le passage des seins. It goes without saying that the sternal belt described above would not be suitable for a woman, given the female morphology. the adaptation is however very simple, as illustrated in fig. 5 which represents a female model. The reinforcing ribs 12 of the central part 3 are somewhat close to one another, while the lateral ribs 13 are, on the contrary, offset in the direction of the ends 6, so as to leave room for two clean openings 14 to allow breast passage.
Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents. It should moreover be understood that the above description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
