Abstract
Description
本発明は、神経毒アプリケータアセンブリを使用する、神経毒の制御送達により喘息を処置するための装置に関する。
肺は、気管から下側に生じる、次第に小さくなる気管支分岐から構成される。気管および近位気管支は、U字型の内部軟骨層を取り囲む筋膜外層からなる管腔であり、そのU字の開口部分は、平滑筋がまたがっている。その軟骨層の内側には、膠原性弾性層および最も内側の上皮層がある。粘液分泌性の杯細胞と、輸送線毛細胞が、これらの内部層内に分散している。
上記のことを考慮して、本発明の目的は、神経毒の、患者の気管支気道内の標的処置領域への制御された送達を可能にする装置を提供することである。
図1を参照して、喘息の影響を低下させるための、患者の気管支気道内の標的処置領域への、神経毒の制御された送達のための装置が記載される。好ましくは、この装置は、気管支鏡10および神経毒アプリケータアセンブリ20を備える。気管支鏡10は、近位端12、遠位端13、および管腔14を有する。従来のように、気管支鏡10はまた、患者の肺の内部を照射するための光源、および外科医が患者の肺の内部を見ることを可能にする光学部品(例えば、小型カメラ)を備える。あるいは、気管支鏡10は、これらの光源および光学部品を省略し得、そしてその代わりに、外側シースを備え得る。この後者の場合において、デバイス10および神経毒アプリケータ20は、別個の従来の気管支鏡を使用して、または神経毒アプリケータ20内に組み込まれた光源および光学部品を介して、観察される。
