2. Description of the Related Art In the medical field, there is a trocar catheter as a medical device for discharging blood or body fluid exuding from a wound after surgery or air in a thoracic cavity of a pneumothorax patient. In this product, local anesthesia is performed at the insertion site, a small incision is made in the skin, a trocar catheter is inserted, and when the catheter is inserted to some extent, the metal needle in the catheter lumen is pulled out. Thereafter, the distal end of the catheter is inserted to a desired indwelling position and is indwelled.

In a normal thoracic cavity, a negative pressure (−5 to −20c) is always used.
Although the lungs are constantly inflated by keeping the pressure at mH 2 O), if disturbed by pneumothorax, chest trauma, or the like, the lungs cannot be sufficiently inflated, resulting in ventilation problems. Also, if pleural effusion or blood accumulates in the thoracic cavity, the pump function of the heart as well as the respiratory function falls into a dangerous state. The use of a trocar catheter evacuates the thoracic cavity, which has become positive pressure, to return to negative pressure, drains pleural effusion and blood stored in the thoracic cavity, and minimizes the risk of infection with a minimum puncture hole It becomes possible.

In general, a catheter is inserted into the thoracic cavity so as to pass through the intercostal space (between the ribs) to avoid the lungs. As shown in FIG. The catheter tip is indwelled underneath. By the way, the cross-sectional shape of the conventional trocar catheter is almost circular as shown in FIG. 4, and there is a possibility of kinking (breaking and closing the catheter lumen) when greatly bent, and This is because the catheter is too stiff, and there is a conflicting problem that the catheter tip and the intercostal passage press against the intercostal nerve and cause pain to the patient. Furthermore, since the puncture hole of the patient's skin becomes a round hole, there is also a problem that it is difficult to close the catheter after removing the catheter.

In order to solve these problems, the present inventors have disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-313177 a trocar catheter comprising a combination of a metal needle and an outer catheter, wherein the cross section of the outer catheter is flat. Was disclosed. As a result, even if the catheter is placed so as to be bent, the central portion of the catheter is crushed and closed at the time of kink as shown in FIG. 5 (c), but the routes at both ends are not blocked, and the bending elasticity of the catheter is low. We have proposed a trocar catheter that allows safe and minimally invasive insertion without squeezing, and that closes quickly after removal of the catheter because the puncture hole in the skin is flat.

On the other hand, flattening of the cross-sectional shape is also disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 10-118190 and 11-2212.
No. 86, it is disclosed that the former has flexibility such that the cross-sectional shape is deformed flat by the internal pressure of the pharynx and esophagus, or is inserted because the cross-sectional shape is formed flat from the beginning. Reduces pain at the time and discomfort at the time of detention,
The emphasis is on avoiding pressure on the inner walls of the pharynx and esophagus. Therefore, the effect of kink resistance due to the flat cross-sectional shape is not intended. The latter, as shown above, because the catheter lumen has a circular shape,
Similar to a conventional circular catheter having a cross-sectional shape, when the catheter is greatly bent, the lumen is obstructed and the effect on kink is hardly exerted, and it has not been satisfactory as a catheter for thoracic cavity.

As shown in FIG. 1, the trocar catheter of the present invention comprises a metal needle (1) and an outer catheter (3). The material of the metal needle (1) is not particularly limited, but is made of a metal processed product such as stainless steel or aluminum. The cross-sectional shape of the metal needle (1) is a mantle catheter (3)
It has a flat shape that matches the lumen or a circle that matches the minor axis of the lumen. The distal end is provided with a step for hooking with the distal tip (4) of the mantle catheter (3), and the proximal end is operated. A grip ball (2) for holding by a person is provided. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the metal needle (1) has a flat shape only at the stepped portion for hooking with the distal tip (4) of the mantle catheter (3), and is circular from there to the proximal end of the grip ball (2). There is no problem.

The material of the mantle catheter (3) is not particularly limited, but is made of a soft plastic such as a vinyl chloride resin or a urethane resin, and the ratio of the thickness on the short diameter side to the thickness on the long diameter side in the flat shape. However, an extruded tube of 30 to 70% is preferred. If it exceeds 70%, as shown in the prior art, the suction capacity is reduced due to the twisting of the catheter, or the suction capacity is reduced due to narrowing of the lumen due to the remarkable increase in the wall thickness on the minor diameter side. . Further, if the ratio is less than 30%, the catheter is likely to be deformed into a concave shape at the time of suturing for fixing the catheter, airtightness in the thoracic cavity cannot be maintained, and there is a concern that leakage may occur from a gap between the chest wall and the catheter. Further, there is a possibility that the distal end portion of the catheter cannot be guided to a desired indwelling position at the time of insertion because the catheter becomes loose. Considering practicality, the dimension is preferably such that the thickness on the long diameter side is 0.5 to 2.0 mm and the thickness on the short diameter side is 0.15 to 1.4 mm.

The shape of the mantle catheter (3) is preferably a flat-section catheter having a minor axis of 30 to 70% of the major axis. If it exceeds 70%, it is close to a perfect circle, so that problems of the prior art such as kink and strong stiffness of the catheter are likely to occur. If it is less than 30%, considering the wall thickness of the tube, the long diameter becomes too long and is not practical. Considering practicality, the dimensions are 2
20 mm and a short diameter of 0.6 to 14 mm are preferred.

The length of the mantle catheter (3) is 100 to 5
00 mm is preferred. If it is less than 100 mm, it is difficult to secure a portion for gripping the catheter when inserting the outer catheter (3), and if it is more than 500 mm, it is too long to be practical. Furthermore, 250 to 400 mm is more preferable. A part or all of at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the mantle catheter (3) is used to reduce the resistance when removing the metal needle or the mantle catheter (3) and to prevent clogging of the lumen of the mantle catheter (3). Therefore, it is preferable to perform a lubricating treatment, and as the lubricating material used for the treatment, collagen, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, etc., which are hydrogels in consideration of toxicity to the human body, are preferable.

The distal end of the mantle catheter (3) is provided with a step inside so that the step of the distal end of the metal needle (1) is hooked. This step is made by integrally processing the mantle catheter (3) or radiopaque. The tip (4) may be connected to the tip, and one or more side holes (5) for efficient discharge are provided near the tip, and the rear end is easily connected to a connector such as a suction device. It is desirable that the diameter be enlarged like a trumpet.

As shown in FIG. 2, as another embodiment, if a rib (6) is provided inside a mantle catheter (3), the needle can be smoothly inserted and removed without sticking to the metal needle (1). There is a merit that the lumen is not obstructed no matter how bent after the catheter is placed, but it is necessary to attach a connector tube (7) without a rib (6) to the rear end of the catheter. It is also a preferred embodiment that the mantle catheter (3) is provided with a sublumen (8) having a connector (10) for injecting a drug solution at the proximal end near the hand side for performing treatment inside the catheter cavity or thoracic cavity. It is.

Next, the sheath catheter (3) bends,
Explaining the twisted state in comparison with the conventional one, when the outer catheter (3) having a circular cross section is bent, the inner lumen is completely closed as shown in FIG. Thus, in the case of the present invention, the lumen is securely maintained as shown in FIG. 1 (c) or FIG. 2 (c). FIG. 6 shows the suction characteristics of the outer catheter (3). The mantle catheter (3) was bent from 0 to 150 degrees, and the suction capacity when suctioning a viscous liquid such as water or glycerin at each bending angle was measured.

As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the sheath catheter (3) having a circular cross section suddenly reduces the suction capacity when the catheter starts to kink as the bending angle increases, whereas the flat cross section according to the present invention. (Long diameter, short diameter thickness ratio 30-7
0%) In the overcoat catheter (3), as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the routes at both ends of the inner lumen of the overcoat catheter (3) are hard to be closed, and the flow rate decreases gradually. When the catheter is twisted, the suction capacity of the conventional trocar catheter having a flat cross-sectional shape and a uniform thickness is reduced as shown in FIG. FIG. 6B shows no significant decrease. The bending elasticity of the mantle catheter (3) of the present invention is flat because its cross-sectional shape is flat.
The cross section is about half that of a circular trocar catheter.

Next, the state in which the mantle catheter (3) is indwelled in the thoracic cavity will be described with reference to FIG. 3. When the catheter (21) is in the indwelling position for gas discharge, the catheter (22)
Is the position where the liquid is discharged. In general, in the case of the catheter (21), the bend is large, and the nerve compression part (3
The patient often hurts in part 1) or (32),
Since the flat-sectioned mantle catheter (3) of the present invention is placed between ribs so that the long diameter side is parallel to the ribs, the mantle catheter (3) has low bending elasticity in the short diameter direction and strongly compresses the nerve. Can be detained without doing so. When the patient removes the catheter after healing, the wound is quickly closed because the mantle catheter (3) is flat.
