Description

  The present invention relates to an indwelling aid and a fistula catheter used for a fistula catheter used to supply fluids such as liquid foods and nutrients into the digestive tract of a patient.

  Conventionally, enteral nutritional administration that supplies liquid foods, nutrients, etc. using a fistula catheter to people who have the ability to ingest food by mouth due to aging or illness (hereinafter referred to as patients) has been Has been done. In enteral nutrition administration, a fistula (gastric fistula) is constructed in the patient's abdomen, a fistula catheter is attached to the fistula, and liquid food or the like is supplied to the patient through the fistula catheter.

Such a fistula catheter used for enteral nutrition administration can be roughly classified into a so-called balloon type and a bumper type depending on the shape of the in-vivo fixing portion installed inside the body.
As a bumper-type in-vivo fixing portion, a wing portion is formed by a plurality of slits formed on the outer periphery of the tube, and the in-vivo fixing portion is formed by extending / collapsing the wing portion ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing one configuration example of an indwelling auxiliary tool 60 according to the embodiment. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the distal end side holding portion 63. FIG. 18 is an explanatory view showing another example of the distal end side holding portion 63. Based on FIG.1, FIG.17, FIG.18, the structure of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is demonstrated. FIG. 1A shows a side view of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and FIG. 1B shows a cross-sectional view of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. The indwelling auxiliary tool 60 has a function that contributes to maintaining the shape of a so-called bumper-shaped in-vivo fixing part formed on the distal end side of the fistula catheter. In addition, in the following drawings including FIG. 1, the relationship of the size of each component may be different from the actual one.

  The indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is made of a metal such as stainless steel or titanium, or a resin such as polyurethane, and has a lumen for allowing a fluid to pass therethrough. In addition, although the constituent material of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is not specifically limited, since it is indwelled in the stomach etc., it is good to comprise with the biocompatible material which cannot be easily deteriorated by gastric juice, a nutrient, etc.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is a member (for example, a tube forming a fistula catheter or a distal end of the tube, and is formed of a deformable resin material. A cylindrical main body portion 60A having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of a member in which the portion is formed in a cylindrical shape (hereinafter referred to as an in-vivo fixing portion forming member), and at least a part of which is inserted on the forming side of the in-body fixing portion. have. The cylindrical main body portion 60 </ b> A includes a distal end side holding portion 63, a proximal end side holding portion 64, and an intermediate portion 66. The “tip” refers to the insertion side into the body, and indicates the lower side in FIG. The “proximal end” refers to the opposite side of the front end and indicates the upper side in FIG.

  The distal end side holding portion 63 is formed on the distal end side of the cylindrical main body portion 60A, and has a function of holding the distal end portion of the in-vivo fixing portion forming member by adhesion or locking. The proximal end side holding portion 64 is formed on the proximal end side with respect to the distal end side holding portion 63 of the cylindrical main body portion 60A, and has a function of holding the body fixing portion forming member so as to be movable in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface. Yes. The intermediate portion 66 is formed at a position where the distal end side holding portion 63 and the proximal end side holding portion 64 are connected.

  The distal-side holding portion 63 is increased in diameter toward the radially outer side, and is provided on the proximal side of the first diameter-increased portion 63a and a collar-shaped first diameter-increased portion 63a with which the distal end portion of the in-vivo fixing portion forming member abuts. A diameter-reduced portion 63b formed smaller in diameter than the first diameter-expanded portion 63a toward the radially inner side, and a second diameter-expanded portion formed on the proximal end side of the diameter-reduced portion 63b and diameter-expanded toward the radially outer side. And a diameter portion 63c. If it does in this way, it will become possible to hold easily the tip part of a body fixing part formation member, without making indwelling auxiliary tool 60 complicated.

  The first enlarged diameter portion 63a has a shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip, and is configured so that the fistula and digestive tract wall are not easily damaged by the first enlarged diameter portion 63a during insertion / removal or indwelling. . The first enlarged diameter portion 63a is disposed at a position protruding from the distal end portion of the body fixing portion forming member. In addition, although the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 and the body fixing | fixed part formation member are latched by the frictional force, it is good to adhere | attach using an adhesive agent, for example so that both may be hold | maintained more firmly.

  The reduced diameter portion 63b is in contact with at least a part of the inner wall of the distal end portion of the body fixing portion forming member, and contributes to holding and fixing the distal end portion. The reduced diameter portion 63b can be formed by, for example, a groove or the like formed in a circumferential shape on the outer periphery of the distal end side holding portion 63.

  The second enlarged diameter portion 63c has a shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the proximal end, and has a function of assisting the stabilization of the shape of the formed in-vivo fixed portion. The second enlarged diameter portion 63c is disposed at the distal end side forming portion of the in-vivo fixing portion within the lumen of the in-vivo fixing portion forming member.

  In addition, the shape of the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 is not limited to what is shown in FIG. In other words, the distal-side holding portion 63 can have any shape as long as it has a function of holding the distal end portion of the body fixing portion forming member. For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the protruding portion 63 f may be formed on at least a part of the distal end side holding portion 63. The protruding portion 63f is configured to be able to hook at least a part of the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10. The protruding portion 63f may be formed by protruding at least a part of the outer wall of the distal end side holding portion 63 in the radial direction. Further, the protruding portion 63f may be formed over the entire circumference of the tip side holding portion 63 as shown in FIG. 17B, and a part of the tip side holding portion 63 as shown in FIG. You may form in.

  Further, as an example, the distal end side holding portion 63 is formed in a shape such that a plurality of stepped portions having different diameters are stacked as shown in FIG. 18A and the diameter gradually increases from the distal end toward the proximal end. Also good. Or you may make the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 into the shape which overlaps a some step part from which a diameter differs, as shown to FIG. Even when the tip side holding portion 63 is formed in a shape as shown in FIG. 18, it is assumed that at least a part of the stepped portion protrudes radially outward, and the protruding portion 63f shown in FIG. Make it work in the same way.

  The proximal end side holding portion 64 holds the inner peripheral surface of the body fixing portion forming member so that the body fixing portion forming member can move in the axial direction. Here, being held so as to be movable in the axial direction means that the proximal-side holding part 64 is in the state of the body fixing part forming member, that is, depending on whether the extended state or the extended state is released. It means that it is held at a different position on the inner peripheral surface. However, the proximal-side holding portion 64 may hold the inner surface of the body fixing portion forming member in a state where the body fixing portion forming member is extended, that is, in a state where the body fixing portion is not formed, It is not always necessary to hold the inner surface of the body fixing portion forming member. On the other hand, the proximal-side holding portion 64 must hold the inner surface of the body fixing portion forming member in a state where the body fixing portion forming member is compressed, that is, in a state where the body fixing portion is formed. In the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the proximal end holding portion 64 is configured to be larger than the inner diameter of the in-vivo fixed portion forming member, and the inner end of the proximal end holding portion 64 and the in-vivo fixed portion forming member is shown. The inner peripheral surface of the body fixing portion forming member is held by the proximal end holding portion 64 by the frictional force generated between the peripheral surface and the peripheral surface.

  The intermediate portion 66 is a portion that connects the distal end side holding portion 63 and the proximal end side holding portion 64 in the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and the in-vivo fixing portion forming member does not contact when the in-vivo fixing portion is formed. Corresponds to the position. Therefore, if the through hole 67 through which the fluid can flow in the intermediate portion 66 is formed so as to penetrate a part of the wall surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, the flowability of nutrients and the like is improved. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of through holes 67 may be formed over the entire circumference.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, an inner protrusion 65 that protrudes radially inward may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. The internal protrusion 65 has a function of engaging with a distal end portion of an extender described later. Here, the state in which the internal protrusion 65 is formed is shown as an example, but it is not necessarily provided as long as it can be locked by the distal end portion of the extender inserted into the indwelling auxiliary tool 60.

  By using the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 configured as described above, the distal end portion of the in-vivo fixing portion forming member is the distal end side holding portion 63 and the proximal end side from the formation position of the in vivo fixing portion is the proximal end side holding portion 64. , Each will be held. Therefore, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 moves rapidly, and the other end side in the axial direction of the formed in-vivo fixed part is also formed in the digestive tract wall exposed to contents (including liquid foods, nutrients, etc.) and body fluids. The outer peripheral surfaces of the distal end side holding portion 63 and the proximal end side holding portion 64 are not exposed to the contents or body fluid in a state where they are held by the proximal end side holding portion 64. Therefore, the shape of the in-vivo fixing part can be more easily maintained, the indwelling state of the fistula catheter can be maintained well, and unintentional removal such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  Further, when the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is inserted into the in-vivo fixing part forming member, the outer peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 comes into close contact with the lumen of the in-vivo fixing part forming member. For this reason, it becomes difficult for gastric juice and nutrient solution to enter between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the in-vivo fixing part forming member, and the deterioration of the contact surface between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the in-vivo fixing part forming member can be suppressed. In addition, troubles such as the indwelling aid 60 slipping off due to a nutrient or the like are less likely to occur. As a result, the intimate contact between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the in-vivo fixing portion forming member is stably maintained, and the shape of the in-vivo fixing portion is maintained.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a main part of the fistula catheter 1 using the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing in cross section the operation of extending the in-vivo fixation part B of the fistula catheter 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the fistula catheter 1. FIG. 5 is a side view of the fistula catheter 1. FIG. 6 is a plan view of the fistula catheter 1. FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the fistula catheter 1. FIG. 8 is a schematic side view showing a stretched state of the fistula catheter 1. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the insertion / extraction operation of the fistula catheter 1. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the indwelling state of the fistula catheter 1. The fistula catheter 1 using the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 will be described in detail based on FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the fistula catheter 1 is attached to a fistula 73 formed so as to penetrate the patient's abdominal wall 71 and digestive tract wall 72. As shown in FIG. 2, the fistula catheter 1 includes a catheter part A and a body fixing part B. The catheter part A is inserted into the fistula 73 and has a function of allowing fluid such as nutrients to pass through. The internal fixation part B is located in the digestive tract wall 72 such as the stomach wall when the fistula catheter 1 is placed in the patient's fistula 73, and has a function of suppressing the fistula catheter 1 from coming out of the patient's fistula 73. The fistula catheter 1 includes the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 described above. Here, a case where a tube is used as the in-vivo fixing portion forming member will be described as an example.

  In the following description, “proximal” means the end side of the catheter part A of the fistula catheter 1 in a state where it is installed in the fistula 73, and indicates the upper side of the drawing in FIG. Further, "distal" refers to the opposite side of the proximal side, and shows the lower side of the drawing in FIG.

  The fistula catheter 1 includes a tube 10. The tube 10 is made of, for example, a resin material such as polyurethane resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, or silicone resin, and has a lumen for allowing fluids such as nutrients to pass therethrough. Although the material of the tube 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned material, heat shaping is possible, and a material having flexibility even after heat shaping is used.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the tube 10 is provided with a plurality of slits 11 communicating with the inside and outside of the tube along the axial direction. In the present embodiment, a case where the number of slits 11 is three is shown as an example. The length of the slit 11 is not particularly limited, and may be determined according to the shape and size of the in-vivo fixed part B. The slit 11 can be provided parallel to the axial direction of the tube, but may be provided obliquely with respect to the axial direction. In the present embodiment, each of the three slits 11 is provided at a position that divides the peripheral wall of the tube 10 into approximately three equal parts.

  The slit 11 divides the peripheral wall of the tube 10 into a plurality of parts, and three belts 12 are formed by the division. Each belt 12 is in a state of being connected together as a peripheral wall of the tube at its upper end and lower end. When the distal end of the tube 10 is pushed toward the proximal end side so that the distal end side and the proximal end side of the belt 12 are close to each other in the axial direction, the belt 12 bends due to its elasticity, The wing part 13 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the tube 10 includes three wing parts 13. The wing portion 13 has a bent portion 16 that extends radially outward from the proximal end side of the tube 10 and bends in the opposite direction, and continues to the bent portion 16 toward the radially inner side. It has an extending shape. In addition, the shape of the wing | blade part 13 is not specifically limited, What is necessary is just a shape which can be deform | transformed with the elasticity which the body fixing | fixed part formation member, such as a tube, has. The bent portion 16 is bent so as to draw an arc having a substantially U-shaped cross section, but is not limited to this and may be bent at an acute angle.

  The wing portion 13 is formed by pushing the distal end of the tube 10 in the state shown in FIG. 8 so as to approach the proximal end side and bending the belt 12 radially outward. Then, since the in-vivo fixing part B having a shape as shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 is formed, the fistula catheter 1 is manufactured by heat-shaping in this state. Here, although the case where the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B is determined by the heat shaping of the tube 10 is described as an example, it is not limited to this. That is, if the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is used, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 can hold the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B, and therefore the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B need not be determined in advance by heat shaping. .

  The tube 10 is made of a material having flexibility even after heat forming. Therefore, by separating the distal end 15 of the tube 10 from the proximal end 14 side in the axial direction, the tube 10 is in an extended state extending substantially straight (see FIG. 8). Then, when the extended state is released, the wing part 13 is formed again as shown in FIG. As described above, if the tube 10 that is not heat-shaped is used, even if the extended state is canceled, the wing portion 13 is not returned to the formed state. In this case, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is pulled toward the front side by using the extension tool 50 described later to form the wing part 13, and the proximal end side holding part 64 holds the other end side in the axial direction of the body fixing part B. As a result, the in-vivo fixing part B is formed.

  As described above, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 contributes to stabilization of the shape of the in-vivo fixing part B formed by elastic deformation of a part of the tube 10. That is, the distal end side holding portion 63 of the placement assisting tool 60 holds the distal end portion 10A (the distal end surface 10a and the distal end portion inner peripheral surface 10b) of the tube 10 by adhesion or locking, and the proximal end side retaining portion 64 of the placement assisting tool 60. However, the outer peripheral surface holds the inner peripheral surface closer to the proximal end side than the start end P (see FIG. 3) of the wing part 13. Thereby, the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 and the base end side holding | maintenance part 64 maintain the state of the wing | blade part 13 formed when the proximal end and distal end of the tube 10 approach.

  Accordingly, the tube 10 is held at the distal end side holding portion 63 at the distal end portion 10A and at the proximal end holding portion 64 at the proximal end side relative to the position where the in-vivo fixing portion B is formed. Therefore, the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B can be more easily maintained even in the digestive tract wall 72 exposed to contents and body fluids that are intensely moved. For this reason, the indwelling state of the fistula catheter 1 can be maintained well, and unintentional removal such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  Further, when the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is inserted into the tube 10, the outer peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 comes into close contact with the lumen of the tube 10. For this reason, it becomes difficult for gastric juice and nutrient solution to enter between the indwelling aid 60 and the tube 10, and deterioration of the contact surface between the indwelling aid 60 and the tube 10 can be suppressed. In addition, troubles such as the indwelling aid 60 slipping off due to a nutrient or the like are less likely to occur. As a result, the close contact state between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the tube 10 is stably maintained, and the shape of the in-vivo fixing part B is maintained.

  Next, an indwelling operation of the thus configured fistula catheter 1 in the fistula 73 will be described. First, the extension device 50 used for extending the body fixing part B of the fistula catheter 1 and inserting the body fixing part B into the digestive tract wall 72 such as the stomach wall or the intestinal wall will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the extender 50 includes an engagement portion 51 provided on the distal end side, an operation portion 52 provided on the end opposite to the engagement portion 51, and an engagement with the operation portion 52. And a shaft portion 53 provided between the portion 51. The engaging portion 51 and the shaft portion 53 are configured to be insertable into the lumen of the tube 10. In particular, the engaging portion 51 can be inserted into the lumen of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. The operation unit 52 is made of, for example, synthetic resin or metal, and has a shape that allows the operator to place a finger.

   The engaging portion 51 is configured to have a diameter that is the same as or larger than the inner diameter of the internal protrusion 65 formed in the inner cavity of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. The axial length of the engaging portion 51 may be determined according to the length of the internal protrusion 65 formed in the lumen of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. In addition, when using the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 in which the internal protrusion 65 is not formed, you may make it latch with the engaging part 51 by the lumen | bore itself of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG. In this case, the engaging portion 51 may be configured to have a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60.

  The engaging portion 51 configured as described above is positioned in the lumen of the tube 10 in the extended state. Since the inner protrusion 65 is provided in the lumen of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, the engaging portion 51 of the extension tool 50 is locked to the inner protrusion 65. In this way, the outer surface of the engaging portion 51 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner protrusion 65 are in close contact with each other, and the extension state of the tube 10 is caused by the frictional force generated between the outer surface of the engaging portion 51 and the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10. Retained. In addition, the structure of the extension tool 50 demonstrated here is an example as an extension tool, and the structure for extending the fistula catheter 1 is not limited.

  Next, the extension operation of the fistula catheter 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c). In FIG. 3, the holding portion between the distal end side holding portion 63 and the tube 10 and the holding portion between the proximal end side holding portion 64 and the tube 10 are illustrated with bold lines. 3 shows an example in which the proximal end side holding portion 64 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 in the extended state of the tube 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the slit 11 Depending on the length of the installed portion of the tube 10, the proximal end holding portion 64 does not need to be in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 in the extended state of the tube 10. That is, the proximal end side holding portion 64 only needs to hold the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 when the in-vivo fixing portion B is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, it is assumed that the wing portion 13 is formed on the tube 10 of the fistula catheter 1. In this state, the extender 50 is inserted into the lumens of the tube 10 and the placement aid 60. The extension tool 50 has an engaging portion 51 that is detachably fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. Here, both are fixed by the frictional force generated between the inner peripheral surface of the internal protrusion 65 provided in the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the outer peripheral surface of the engaging portion 51. That is, when the extender 50 is inserted to an appropriate position in the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, a frictional force acts between the engaging portion 51 and the internal protrusion 65 of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and the extender 50 in the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. Progress is stopped.

  When the extension tool 50 is further pushed in this state and a force exceeding the frictional force with the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 at the proximal end side holding portion 64 is applied, the fixation of both is once released. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 engaged with the engaging portion 51 of the extension tool 50 advances to the distal end side along with the extension tool 50. Then, the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10 fixed by the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the distal end side holding portion 63 also advances to the distal end side. Thus, by pushing in the extension tool 50, the wing | blade part 13 of the tube 10 is extended, and it will be in a state like FIG.3 (c). In order to realize such an operation, the frictional force generated between the engaging portion 51 and the internal protrusion 65 of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is the frictional force generated between the proximal end holding portion 64 and the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10. It is comprised so that it may become larger. By doing so, the fistula catheter 1 is in an extended state, and can be inserted / removed into / from the fistula 73.

  Thus, according to this Embodiment, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 inserted in the tube 10 was provided. This indwelling auxiliary tool 60 has a proximal end side holding portion 64 that holds the tube 10 so as to be movable in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 on the proximal end side of the proximal end side of the slit 11 of the tube 10. And a distal end side holding portion 63 that holds the tube 10 on the distal end side with respect to the distal end side end portion of the slit 11 of the tube 10. The base end side holding portion 64 and the distal end side holding portion 63 are held with the tube 10 in a state where the wing portion 13 is formed, so that the shape of the wing portion 13 can be maintained. For this reason, the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B can be more easily maintained even in the digestive tract wall 72 exposed to contents and body fluids that are intensely moved. Therefore, the indwelling state of the fistula catheter 1 can be kept good, and unintentional removal such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  Note that the detachable fixing structure between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the extension tool 50 is not limited to the structure using the frictional force generated by the engaging part 51 and the internal protrusion 65, and the wing part 13 of the fistula catheter 1 is extended. The extension tool 50 and the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 can be fixed when the extension tool 50 is pushed in, and after the shape that functions as the in-body fixing part B is formed by the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, both are separated. That's fine. For example, you may provide the screw screwed together by the inner peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and the outer peripheral surface of the extension tool 50 near the front-end | tip.

  Next, an indwelling operation of the thus configured fistula catheter 1 in the fistula 73 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the fistula catheter 1 that has been extended by the extension tool 50 is inserted into a fistula 73 formed in the abdominal wall 71 and the digestive tract wall 72. The diameter of the fistula catheter 1 is the same as the diameter of the tube 10 in a state where the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is inserted at the maximum, and the resistance when passing through the fistula 73 is low. For this reason, there is little risk of damaging the fistula 73.

  When the insertion depth is appropriate, the surgeon pulls the extension device 50 toward the front side while pressing the abdominal wall 71 so that the catheter part A does not come out. By pulling with a force exceeding the frictional force between the engaging portion 51 and the internal protrusion 65, the close contact state between the engaging portion 51 and the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is released, and the extender 50 is pulled out from the tube 10. Since the fistula catheter 1 is heat-shaped, when the extender 50 is pulled out and the extended state is released, the in-vivo fixed part B is formed as shown in FIG. By simply pulling out the extender 50, the stretched fistula catheter 1 can be brought into a state where the in-vivo fixing part B is formed, and the procedure is simple.

  As described above, when the tube 10 that is not heat-shaped is used, the extension device 50 in a state in which the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is engaged is pulled to the near side, and the proximal end of the indwelling auxiliary device 60 After the other end side in the axial direction of the in-vivo fixing part B is held on the outer peripheral surface of the side holding part 64 and formed into a shape that functions as the in-vivo fixing part B by the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, the extension tool 50 and the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 It is only necessary to release the contact state and pull out the extender 50. Even in this case, since only the extension tool 50 is pulled out as an operation, the body fixing part B can be formed with a simple technique.

  The proximal end of the catheter part A of the catheter placed in the fistula 73 is exposed outside the body. An optional extracorporeal fixation portion is connected to the exposed proximal end of the catheter portion. As the extracorporeal fixing part, there is a type that is fixed to the end of the tube like a button type catheter, or a type that attaches the extracorporeal fixing part to the tube so as to be detachable like a tube type catheter. Good. Also, any connection structure with the extracorporeal fixing part can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the fistula catheter 1 placed in the digestive tract wall with the in-vivo fixation part B formed is in contact with the digestive tract wall on the upper surface (proximal end side surface) of the wing part 13. . As shown in FIG. 6, a substantially circular surface S is formed by the wing portion 13 of the tube 10 at the center portion of the wing portion 13 (that is, near the outer peripheral surface of the tube 10). This surface S abuts around the fistula 73 of the digestive tract wall 72. Since the surface S contacts the digestive tract wall 72, there is little invasion to the digestive tract wall 72. Further, if the wing part 13 is formed in a rounded shape with respect to the digestive tract wall 72, the contact with the digestive tract wall 72 is soft, and the invasion to the digestive tract wall 72 can be further reduced.

  Further, for example, when the fistula catheter 1 is pulled from the abdominal wall 71 side, the upper surface of the wing part 13 is pressed against the digestive tract wall 72 and tries to close the wing part 13 of the tube 10 in a radially expanded state. Power works in the direction. That is, in the wing part 13 of the tube 10, the bent part 16 moves inward in the radial direction and the outer diameter of the wing part 13 tends to be reduced. However, the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B is maintained by the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and unintentional removal of the fistula catheter 1 such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  When the fistula catheter 1 in the indwelling state is removed from the fistula 73, the in-vivo fixed part of the fistula catheter 1 may be extended by the same procedure as that for insertion.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, using the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 made of a material that does not easily deteriorate, the holding state with the body fixing portion forming member such as a tube in the digestive tract wall 72 is difficult to be released. As a result, the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B can be stably maintained for a long period of time. Therefore, the invasion to the digestive tract wall due to the deformation of the in-vivo fixed part B can be further reduced. Therefore, the shape of the in-vivo fixed part B can be stably maintained for a long period of time, and unintentional extraction such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  In addition, the fistula catheter 1 has an outer diameter that is the outer diameter of the tube 10 (the outer diameter that is slightly larger at the first expanded portion 63a) in the extended state. For this reason, the outer diameter at the time of extension is small compared with the bumper comprised so that it may expand in the digestive tract wall made from a general synthetic resin. Therefore, there is little resistance to the fistula at the time of insertion / extraction, and the risk of damaging the fistula 73 can be reduced. Further, the fistula catheter 1 is composed of two members, the tube 10 and the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and has a small number of parts. For this reason, the increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the fistula catheter 1 is easily extended by separating the distal end side and the proximal end side from each other, the procedure at the time of insertion / extraction is easy, and the burden on the operator can be reduced.

  In addition to the configuration described in the above embodiment, the following applications are also possible. The number of the slits 11 is three in the tube 10 in the above description, but can be any number of two or more. Moreover, although the slit 11 was shown in the example which provided each in the position which divides the surrounding wall of the tube 10 into three equally in radial direction, you may provide it in the position which is not divided into three. In the above description, an example in which the slit 11 is provided in order to form the belt 12 in the tube 10 has been shown. This slit forms a narrow gap in the tube 10, but may be provided with a slit instead of such a slit.

Here, another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 will be described.
FIG. 12 is a schematic sectional view showing another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing still another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG. 14 is a schematic view showing still another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG. 15 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing still another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG. 16 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing still another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. 13A shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, and FIG. 13B shows a schematic view showing a configuration example of the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10. 14A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60, FIG. 14B is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration example of the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10, and FIG. Each plan view is shown.

  As described above, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 has a function that contributes to maintaining the shape of the wing portion 13 of the tube 10, that is, the shape of the in-vivo fixing portion B. Although one configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 has been described with reference to FIG. 1, the configuration of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is not limited thereto. Therefore, another configuration example of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 will be described. 12-14, the structural example of the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is shown. 15 and 16 show a configuration example of the proximal end side holding portion 64 of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60. FIG.

  In addition to the structure shown in FIG. 1, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 shown in FIG. The fastening portion 61 is provided so as to fasten the tube 10 from the outer peripheral side with respect to the distal end side holding portion 63 in order to more firmly hold the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10. The fastening portion 61 may be constituted by an O-ring, for example.

  In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 shown in FIG. 13 further includes a first protrusion 63d formed on the reduced diameter portion 63b. The first protrusion 63d is configured to be able to hook at least a part of the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10. The first protrusion 63d may be formed by projecting a part of the outer wall of the distal end holding part 63, that is, the outer wall of the reduced diameter part 63b in the radial direction. That is, the first protrusion 63d has the same function as the protrusion 63f shown in FIG. However, the first protrusion 63d may be used in combination with the protrusion 63f. When such a first protrusion 63d is formed, a hole (a hole 10B shown in FIG. 13B) different from the slit 11 is formed in the distal end 10A of the tube 10, and the first in the hole 10B. The protrusion 63d may be hooked. The slit 11 may be hooked on the first protrusion 63d.

  In addition to the structure shown in FIG. 1, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 shown in FIG. 14 further includes a second protrusion 63e formed on the second enlarged diameter portion 63c. The second protrusion 63e is configured to be able to hook at least a part of the distal end portion 10A of the tube 10. The second protrusion 63e is formed by standing at least a part of the outer periphery of the second enlarged diameter portion 63c in the distal direction of the tube 10. When forming such a 2nd projection part 63e, it is good to make the slit 11 currently formed in the tube 10 hook on the 2nd projection part 63e (refer FIG.14 (c)). Note that the second protrusion 63e may be hooked in the hole 10B as shown in FIG.

  Note that the numbers of the first protrusions 63d and the second protrusions 63e are not particularly limited, and the first protrusions 63d and the second protrusions 63e may be formed in numbers corresponding to the numbers of slits 11 and holes 10B formed in the tube 10. Alternatively, the first protrusion 63d may be shaped like the second protrusion 63e, or the second protrusion 63e may be shaped like the first protrusion 63d.

  In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 shown in FIG. 15 is further formed in a tapered shape in which the proximal end side holding portion 64 is gradually reduced in diameter from the distal end side toward the proximal end side. By making the proximal end holding portion 64 tapered, it is possible to improve the insertability into the tube 10 and to hold the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 by friction by fitting.

  In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 shown in FIG. 16 is further provided with an enlarged diameter portion 64 a on at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the proximal end side holding portion 64, and the proximal end side from the enlarged diameter portion 64 a. It has a tapered shape that is gradually reduced in diameter. By doing so, it is possible to form a taper shape having a taper angle larger than the taper angle of the taper shape of the proximal end side holding portion 64 shown in FIG. 15, and fitting the inner peripheral surface of the tube 10 with friction. It can be held more firmly. Although the diameter of the enlarged diameter part 64a is not specifically limited, For example, it is good to make it the same grade as the 1st enlarged diameter part 63a of the front end side holding part 63.

  As described above, the distal end side holding portion 63 of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 holds the distal end portion 10 </ b> A of the tube 10, and the outer peripheral surface of the proximal end side holding portion 64 is on the inner side closer to the proximal end than the start end P of the wing portion 13. Abuts and holds the peripheral surface. Thereby, the state of the wing | blade part 13 formed by the front end side holding | maintenance part 63 and the base end side holding | maintenance part 64 approaching the proximal end (front end side) and distal end (base end side) of the tube 10 approaches. Is supposed to be maintained.

  Therefore, if the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 having the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 12 to 16 is used, the tube 10 has, for example, the distal end portion 10A at the distal end side holding portion 63 and the position where the in-vivo fixing portion B is formed. The proximal end side is respectively held by the proximal end side holding portion 64. Therefore, the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 holds the other end side in the axial direction of the formed in-vivo fixed part by the proximal end holding part 64 even in the digestive tract wall 72 exposed to the contents and body fluids, which is intensely moved. In this state, the outer peripheral surfaces of the distal end side holding portion 63 and the proximal end side holding portion 64 are not exposed to the contents or body fluid. Therefore, the shape of the in-vivo fixing part B can be more easily maintained, the indwelling state of the fistula catheter 1 can be maintained well, and unintentional extraction such as self-extraction can be suppressed.

  Further, when the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 is inserted into the tube 10, the outer peripheral surface of the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 comes into close contact with the lumen of the tube 10. For this reason, it becomes difficult for gastric juice and nutrient solution to enter between the indwelling aid 60 and the tube 10, and deterioration of the contact surface between the indwelling aid 60 and the tube 10 can be suppressed. In addition, troubles such as the indwelling aid 60 slipping off due to a nutrient or the like are less likely to occur. As a result, the close contact state between the indwelling auxiliary tool 60 and the tube 10 is stably maintained, and the shape of the in-vivo fixing part B is maintained.
