Abstract

【解決手段】概略U字形の外科用のステープルであって、基部10と、基部の両端から実質的に垂直に延在してなる一対の略L字形の足部12とを備えている。ステープルの使用に際しては、足部12を基部に対して約90゜屈曲させる。ステープルで留められた組織を強く圧縮するために、足部は、尖端部に隣接してなる穿通部分16と圧縮構造30とを含んでいて、この圧縮構造は、穿通部分の高さに比べてより大きな高さになっていることから、閉じようとする切開の長さに沿ってステープルの圧縮力を拡散させる。また、圧縮部分は深さストッパを提供して、ステープルを取付ける組織中に、過剰に深く尖端部が穿通することを避ける。

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、外科用のステープルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ステープルは、長年にわたって、外科一般において、主に組織を吻合するために使用されている。例としては、皮膚の切開を閉じるために通常の手作業の縫合処置に代えて用いられる皮膚用のステープラーや、腸再建術の処置中に用いられるような、端と端とをつないだり端と側部とをつないだりする、一般に単発使用のための腸用のステープラー器具が挙げられる。
【0003】
こうした装置で使用されるステープルは一般に、ステンレス鋼やチタンなどの金属や金属合金の材料から製造される。大部分のものは、丸い輪郭の針金から構成されていて、一般に略U字形の形態に生産されている。U字形の端部は通例、鋭利に尖っていて、組織を容易に穿通できるようになっている。この分野の従来技術の例には、米国特許第4,505,273号、第5,026,390号、及び、第4,719,917号が含まれる。
【0004】
臨床用途において、ステープルを取付けるために用いられているステープラー装置は、一般にアンビル部品を備えていて、このアンビルはU字形のステープルの足部の間の内側に配置されてステープルと接触している。ステープルの基部の他方の側には形成部品が配置されていて、形成部品の形成アームの間の隙間は概略、アンビルの幅にステープルの針金の直径の2倍の寸法を加えた間隔になっている。ステープラー装置の頭部は通常は、閉じようとする切口ないし開口の中央を横切るように配置される。
【0005】
装置を動作させると、ステープルの足部が前進して、これらの足部が切口ないし開口の両側にて組織に穿通する。形成部品を前進させると、ステープルの足部はアンビルのまわりにて屈曲し、足部の尖端部は弓形の経路に沿って互いに近づくように前進し、ステープルは最終的に略矩形の形状を呈するようになって、これによりステープルの足部間に捕捉された組織を圧縮する。こうして組織を圧縮するメカニズムによって、組織の閉鎖が行なわれる。切開ないし開口の長さによっては、その長さに沿った一連のステープルを取付けるようにすることで、血液が漏出しない閉鎖を確保する。
【0006】
かかる方法は、切開の長さに沿って一連のステープルを用いるときには切開を有効に閉じることができるけれども、最小数のステープルで開口を閉じたいと要望されるときには効果的ではない。例えば、5〜6mmの長さの切開にあっては、切開の中央に丸い針金のステープルを1つ配置したのでは閉鎖のためには不十分であって、というのは、ステープルの足部による圧縮が作用するのは切開の中央の限定された領域だけで、両端部が開いたままに残されるためである。
【0007】
また、組織が柔軟でもろい状況においては、幅の狭いステープルの足部は、アンビルのまわりで屈曲させたときに、組織に裂け入る傾向があって、そのために、ステープルの足部間の圧縮の強さが減少すると共に、血管壁に不必要な損傷を生じさせる。
【0008】
血栓の形成などの合併症を予防するためには、ステープルの足部を血管壁の内部に維持すること、すなわち、内壁を貫通して異物が血管の管腔の内部に導入されないようにすることが重要である。もしもステープルの足部が血管の管腔の内部に貫通するならば、ステープラー装置からの過大な押圧力によって血管がつぶれて、足部が反対側の血管壁にまで貫通し、つまり、血管壁同士を留めてしまって血管の管腔を閉塞させるという危険性が追加される。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、より効果的に切開を閉じることで、切開を閉鎖するのに必要なステープルの数を少なくできるような、改良された外科用のステープルに対する要望が存在する。さらに、ステープルの足部の輪郭は、より柔らかい組織に裂け入る傾向が少ないような輪郭にすることが有利である。さらに、ステープルの足部が穿通する深さを制限するようにして、足部が血管の管腔に侵入しないようにすることが望ましい。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
従って、本発明によって提供される外科用のステープルは、基部と、基部の両端から延在してなる一対の足部とを備え、足部のそれぞれは尖端部にて終端するような穿通部分を有し、ステープルは、それぞれの足部を基部に対して屈曲させるように変形可能になっていて、それぞれの尖端部は、平面上にある実質的に弓形の経路に沿うようにして、他方の足部へ接近するような上記ステープルにおいて、それぞれの足部は基部と穿通部分との中間に配置されてなる圧縮部分を備え、圧縮部分は穿通部分の高さに比べて大きい高さになっていて、前記高さは弓形の経路によって定められる平面に対して垂直な方向に測定される、ことを特徴としている。
【0011】
本発明の利点は、改良された外科用のステープルによれば、使用時にステープルを変形させたとき、ステープルの足部の間の圧縮領域が著しく大きくなることである。圧縮領域を大きくするために、ステープルとステープルが支持される組織との間における接触領域を増大させるような、圧縮部分を提供する。
【0012】
本発明は、ステープルを永久的に体内に植付けるような用途において特に有用であるそうした事例では、確実な閉鎖を行なうために必要とされる金属の量を最小にすることが求められる。既存のステープラー装置にあっては、吻合すべき切口ないし組織の縁部の長さに沿って、一連のステープルを配置することが必要である。いずれのひとつのステープルも両側の少量の組織だけしか圧縮しないので、ステープルを互いに接近させて配置するのが通常である。本発明によって提供される、改良された圧縮能力を備えたステープルを用いることで、任意のひとつの切開を閉鎖するために必要とされるステープルの数は著しく少なくなる。
【0013】
また本発明は、血管穿刺を閉鎖する分野において特に適当である。この経皮的な処置においては、1個のステープルで動脈穿刺を閉鎖することが望ましい。この場合にも、ステープルは最小量の金属を含むことが望ましい。しかしながら、いったん取付けられたステープルが切口ないし孔の長さに沿った十分な圧縮を生じさせて、血液の漏出を完全に阻止することが重要である。足部が閉じる平面に対して垂直である圧縮部分の高さ方向は、使用時において、切開の長さの方向に一致している。
以下、本発明の実施形態について、例示的に、添付図面を参照して説明する。図面において、同一又は対応する要素には同一の参照符号を付している。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1を参照すると、従来技術による略U字形の形態である丸い針金の外科用のステープルが示されていて、このステープルは、基部10と一対のL字形の足部12とを備えていて、それぞれの足部は、図1に示す如く使用前においては基部から直線状に延在して形成されてなる近位部分14と、近位部分から実質的に垂直に突出てなる遠位部分16とを有している。
【0015】
ステープルの足部の自由端18は一般的に鋭利になっていて、組織を容易に穿通できるようにしている。使用時には、組織を穿通させると共に、足部の自由端を合わせるようにステープルを形成することによって、傷口を閉鎖して保持する。取付けの手順中にステープルを形成すると、ステープルは略U字形の形態から略矩形形状の形態へと変化する。そのためには、ステープルの基部10に対して足部12を90゜屈曲させるが、この屈曲させる箇所は、足部の近位部分が中央部分10bの端部にて基部とつながる点である(屈曲点として知られていて、図面では点X及びYにて示している。)。
【0016】
図2(a)〜図2(c)は、従来のステープルを略U字形から略矩形形状に変形させて取付けて、血管又は他の組織22の穿刺孔ないし切口20を閉鎖するための手順の順序を示している。図2aでは、ステープルは取付装置(図示せず)から前進し、ステープルの足部16の遠位部分が組織22に穿刺して、ステープルの基部10と近位部分14とが組織の外面に当接している。図2bでは、形成工程が開始していて、ステープルは屈曲点X及びYを中心として変形して、近位部分14と遠位部分16とが約90゜の角度にわたって弓状に動くことで、双方のステープルの足部の間に保持されている組織を圧縮している。図2cでは、ステープルは完全に矩形形状に形成されており、ステープルの足部が約90゜の弓形になった結果、矩形の内部に含まれている組織が圧縮されている。
【0017】
図3a及び図3bには、形成前(破線)と形成後(実線)とのステープルを示している。特に図3bに示されているように、ステープルの足部12を組織の壁に穿通した後、形成前には、領域(c)に組織の領域が捕捉されていることがわかる。形成工程の後、つまり近位部分14と遠位部分16とを屈曲点Yにて90゜の弓形にした後には、点(c)にてそれまで捕捉されていた組織は点(d)へと移動する。ステープルの反対側の足部においても同様な圧縮工程が行なわれることで、形成されたステープルの矩形形状の内部には圧縮された組織24が創り出される(図4参照)。
【0018】
図4には、同じ圧縮工程を平面図にて示しており、形成前に点(c)にて足部12の内側に捕捉されていた組織は、ステープルの形成処理によって点(d)へと移動している。しかしながら、組織の孔16に加えられる圧縮の強さは、ステープルの足部と点(c)及び点(d)における組織との間の表面接触の領域に関連している。在来の丸い針金のステープルにおいては、この接触領域がきわめて小さくて、そのために組織の孔開口ないし切口の長さにわたって、限られた大きさの圧縮しか与えることができなかった。また、丸い針金と足部は柔軟な組織を圧縮せずに組織に裂け入ることがあった。
【0019】
かかる問題点を解決するために、本発明では、足部12の部分の高さを大きくして(すなわち、高さとは、ステープルの足部が形成中に屈曲される平面に対して垂直な寸法である。)、それにより、ステープルが変形されるときのステープルの足部と組織との間における有効な接触領域を大きくすることとした。こうして接触領域を大きくすることで、ステープルの足部が組織に裂け入ることを防止できると共に、さらに重要なことは、形成されたステープルの矩形の内部における圧縮領域をはるかに大きく拡散できて、この圧縮は組織の切口ないし開口20のはるかに大きな長さにわたって伝達することである。
【0020】
図5は、本発明の第1の実施形態による外科用のステープルを示した斜視図である。本実施形態では、上述した在来の丸い針金のステープルの足部の近位部分14を、丸形から平坦である矩形の横断面に変形させていて、足部の穿通部分(穿通部分は、この実施形態では遠位部分16の全体にあたる。)との間に圧縮部分を提供している。上述の如く、この圧縮部分の目的は、ステープルの足部が屈曲点にて約90゜の弓形になったときに、組織が圧縮される方向において、ステープルの足部と組織との間の接触領域を大きくすることである。
【0021】
図6には他の実施形態を示していて、この実施形態では、ステープルの足部を近位部分の軸線に沿って分割させて、向かい合う分裂部14’及び14”として、変形させて離間させることで、足部の近位部分の全体の高さをかなり大きくしている。
【0022】
図7には、他の丸い針金の実施形態によるステープルを示している。このステープルでは、それぞれの足部の近位部分14の針金を、基部10との整列から逸脱するようにサイン波形状に屈曲させることで圧縮部分を提供していて、この圧縮部分の高さHは足部16の穿通部分の高さhに比べてかなり大きくなっており、圧縮領域を大きくしていると共に、近位部分が傷口に侵入することを防止している。後者の観点から、サイン波形状に屈曲してなる近位部分の前縁部分28は、穿通部分16から略直角に延びている。このために、若干丸みをおびてなる段差ないし肩部は、深さストッパとして作用して、足部の穿通部分の端部と圧縮部分の開始部分とを形成している。
【0023】
図8に示した実施形態は、標準的な丸い針金のステープルの足部の近位部分に平坦な板ないし翼部30を取付けて構成されている。図9は、図8と類似した他のステープルを示しているが、このステープルは、平坦な金属素材を切抜いて屈曲させて製造されている。ここでも、ステープルの足部に含まれている翼部30の高さは、ステープルの足部の穿通部分16の高さに比べてかなり大きくなっている。
【0024】
図10には、これらの改良されたステープルが体組織の開口の長さにわたってより大きな圧縮領域を達成する過程を示している。図11には、図9に示したのと類似したステープルを示しているけれども、この同じ原理は図5〜9のいずれのステープルにも適用することができる。ステープルの足部が開いた“A”位置から閉じた“B”位置へと動くと、組織24は翼部30の前方にて圧縮されて、この圧縮は、ステープルの足部に翼部が取付けられていない場合と比較して、切口ないし開口20のはるかに大きな長さにわたって拡散する。
【0025】
図11には、平坦なシート材から打抜き形成して、初期形態に屈曲させてなるステープルを示している(前述した針金のステープルに対比されるものである。)。ステープルの基部10は、平坦な直線状の基部ではなくて、蹄鉄形になっている。蹄鉄形が形成しているU字形の開口32によって、ステープルは、ステープラーの端部から延在している血管位置決め管の上部に載置されることができる。そのようなステープラーは、WO02/19922号に開示されている。
【0026】
WO02/19922号のステープラーは、中空のシャフトと、シャフトの内部にて軸線方向に摺動可能であるような血管位置決め管とを備えている。管は、シャフトの端部を越えて突出して、血管の穿刺現場に入り込み、管を通って血液が流出して装置から出てくることで、外科医はシャフトの先端部(ステープラーの頭部が設けられている箇所)が血管の切開に位置していることを知ることができる。外科用のステープルは、管にまたがって、管の上をアンビルに向かって前進するように摺動可能になっていて、アンビルに当接したステープルは変形して、穿刺現場の両側の縁部を止める。ステープルは、カム機構によって管に沿って前方に駆動され、アンビルと係合して変形させられて、これと同時に管はシャフトの中に引っ込んで、ステープルの足部が穿刺現場を閉じられるようになっている。
【0027】
図11のステープルは、U字形の開口32が血管位置決め管にまたがって摺動すべく適合しているという点で、そうした装置と共に使用できるように適合している。
【0028】
ステープルは、基部10の端部から延在してなる一対の足部12を有している。それぞれの足部は、平面図において略L字形であって、近位部分14と、尖端部18にて終端するような遠位部分16とを備えている。使用に際しては(図12を参照)、基部10をアンビル(図示せず)にて保持しつつ、ステープラーの形成アーム(図示せず)で近位部分を前方へ押圧して、点X及びYにてステープルを変形させる。この形成中には、血管位置決め管を引っ込めて、尖端部18が互いに近づいたときに(最終的には図12の形態になる)、尖端部同士が位置決め管を挟むことの無いようにする。
【0029】
遠位部分16には、遠位部分に対して直角に延在してなる横棒の形態の圧縮部分30が配置されている。従って、このステープルでは、圧縮部分と穿通部分との双方とも、L字形の足部の遠位部分に配置されている。穿通部分は、横棒30から尖端部18へと延びている足部の部分である。横棒の前面30aは、足部が血管壁に過剰に深く穿通するのを防止するための深さストッパとして作用するような肩部を提供する。この特徴を用いることで、尖端部が血管壁の管腔に貫通することが無いようにステープルをデザインして、前面30aと尖端部18の末端との間の距離が血管壁の厚さに比べて短いようにする。また横棒は、穿通部分の短い高さhとは対照的に、横棒30の高さH(図12参照)に対応する切開の長さに沿って、ステープルによる圧縮力を拡散させる圧縮部分として作用する。また、ステープルを閉じたときに横棒30の間の距離が比較的小さいために、圧縮力が増加する。
【0030】
ステープルを針金ではなくて、シート材料から作製することによって、他の著しい利益が得られる。基部の材料の厚さ(開口32の内面と対応する外面34との間にて測定する。)を一定とせずに、蹄鉄形の頂部において最大になるように増加させる。これによって、ステープルを形成するときに曲って歪もうとする傾向に対して、構造を強化する。形成部品とアンビルとで足部を基部に対して屈曲させるとき、蹄鉄形の曲線がいくらか開いたり平らになったりする傾向があることが見い出されている。閉じる時に足部が真っ直ぐ前方の配置から逸脱する傾向があることで、ステープルが不正確に取付けられることにつながることが理解できるだろう。曲線の上部に向かって余分な材料を加えることで、形成中のこの曲線の箇所の歪を選択的に最大に強化して、歪みやすい傾向を打消す。
【0031】
図11及び図12に示したステープルの他の重要な特徴は、ステープルが中心軸線に対して非対称になっていることである。穿通部分16は互いに垂直方向に互違いになっていて、一方は近位部分の線よりもわずかに上方に、他方はこの線よりもわずかに下方に配置されている。
【0032】
さらに、尖端部18はそれぞれ互いに反対方向の斜面になっていて、図11における左側の穿通部分の尖端部の前縁36は、右側の尖端部の前縁36に比べてわずかに上方に位置している。この2つのオフセット(それぞれの穿通部分が互違いになっていることと、尖端部の斜面が逆向きになっていること)によって、2つの足部を完全に閉じることができて、ステープルを形成したときに、尖端部は互いに接近してすれ違いになって、圧縮を強化すると共に閉鎖の信頼性を高める。
【0033】
図13及び図14は、別の実施形態によるステープルの開いた形態と閉じた形態とを示している。ステープルは、両端部から延在した足部12を備えてなる基部10を有している。基部は蹄鉄形であるけれども、この実施形態では、蹄鉄形の曲線の頂部の材料を追加することなく、曲線は略オメガ(Ω)形を呈していて、直線状に伸びてしまう傾向を打消すように、曲線の端部は内側に向いている。
【0034】
それぞれの足部12は、一対の尖端部18に分岐していて、尖端部はそれぞれ穿通部分38を有している。それぞれの足部の2つの穿通部分は、曲線状の横棒の形態である圧縮部分30のそれぞれの端部から延在していて、この横棒は近位部分14と穿通部分38との双方に対して略垂直になっている。横棒30は、深さストッパとして作用する肩部を提供すると共に、ステープルの圧縮力を長さに沿って拡散させる作用を提供する。
【0035】
図14に示されているように、本実施形態においても、足部は互いに非対称になっている。左側の足部の穿通部分38はいずれも、右側の足部に比べて長くなっていて、互いに大きく離間している。これにより、閉じる際に2つの足部が互いに干渉することが防止されて、平面図で見たときに、ステープルは完全に閉じた構造の形態になる(図2cと比較すると、従来技術のステープルではそれぞれの尖端部の間に隙間が存在していて、この結果、平面図において曲線が開かれた状態になっている。)。
【0036】
図13及び図14の実施形態において、横棒30を曲線状とした理由は、ステープラーのデザインが丸い輪郭になっているためである。一般的に、ステープラーの導入によって生じる外傷を最小にするために、ステープラーのシャフトの横断面積はできる限り小さくすることが望ましい。従って、本実施形態のステープルの形状によれば、ステープルを丸いシャフトに嵌入させつつ、圧縮部分(横棒30)で傷口の側部を可能な限り広範囲に保持することができることは、図10を参照することで理解できるだろう。
【0037】
図15及び図16は、さらに別の実施形態を示しており、足部12の穿通部分38は、尖端部18と、本実施形態ではそれぞれの足部の遠位部分に取付けられた円板40によって提供されてなる、足部の圧縮部分の肩部との間に延在している。
【0038】
本願において説明した実施形態は、近位部分と遠位部分との間に略90゜の角度を有しているようなL字形の足部を備えていた。圧縮部分は近位部分又は遠位部分のいずれかに設けることができることに留意されたい。さらに、足部はこのようなL字形である必要はなく、代わりに曲線状(例えば四分円)として、足部の尖端部に隣接した部分を穿通部分として、圧縮構造を曲線に沿った基部側に配置するようにしても良い。
【0039】
ステープルの形成を助けるために、足部が基部に結合している箇所は、脆弱にしたり切込みを設けたりしても良いけれども、多くの場合にはこれは不必要であって、アンビルと形成部品との間における変形によって足部は基部との結合部分にて正しく屈曲する。
本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の範囲を逸脱することなく、改変ないし変形することができる。
