Description
軌道は、長手方向部分と横方向部分とを含んでいる。配備部材は軌道内に収容されるこぶ状突起を含んでいる。配備部材はハンドルを含んでおり、こぶ状突起はハンドルの内側面から延びている。配備部材は、インプラントと結合するための押し込み部材を含んでいる。軸は、押し込み部材を収容するための内腔を画成している。
軌道は、配備部材を解放可能に係止するための構造を画成している。この構造は凹所であり、配備部材は、前記凹所内に解放可能に収容されるこぶ状突起を含んでいる。
軸は円筒形部材であり且つインプラントを収容するための内腔を画成している。軸は、軌道を画成しているアダプタと、インプラントを収容するための長手方向に延びている部材とを含んでいる。この外科用器具は、アダプタに結合され且つ前記長手方向に延びている部材に沿って配置されている第2の軸を含んでいる。この外科用器具は、前記第2の軸に収容させる穴形成部材と、該穴形成部材を前記第2の軸に対して末端方向に進入させるために穴形成部材に結合されたレバーとを含んでいる。アダプタは、レバーを収容するための第2の軌道を画成している。別の方法として、こぶ状突起は、穴形成部材を第2の軸に対して進入させるために第1の軌道内に収容される。
本発明のこの特徴の実施形態は、長手方向の通路を画成する本体を含んでいても良い。
外科用器具は、第1及び第2のインプラントを結合するための縫合糸を含んでいる。第1の部材は内腔を画成しており、第2の部材は該内腔内に収容されている。外科用器具は、第2の部材を第1の部材に対して進入させるための配備部材を含んでいる。
この外科用器具は、第1のインプラントと第2のインプラントとを結合する縫合糸を含んでいる。第1の部材は内腔を画成しており、第2の部材は該内腔内に収容されている。該外科用器具は、前記第2の部材を前記第1の部材に対して進入させるための配備部材を含んでいる。
この外科用器具は、前記第1のインプラントと第2のインプラントとを結合する縫合糸を含んでいる。前記第1の部材は内腔を画成しており、前記第2の部材は前記内腔内に収容されている。この外科用器具は、前記第2の部材を前記第1の部材に対して進入せしめるための配備部材を含んでいる。
第1のインプラントの進入するための手段は正転ねじを含んでいる。第2のインプラントの進入手段は逆転ねじを含んでいる。第1のインプラントの進入手段は、回転によって組織内へ進入するためのねじを含んでいる。第2のインプラントの進入手段は、打ち込みによって組織内へ進入するための手段を含んでいる。第1のインプラントの進入手段は、打ち込みによって組織内へ進入するための手段を含んでいる。
この外科用器具は更に、第1のインプラントと第2のインプラントとを結合するための縫合糸を含んでいる。第1の部材は内腔を画成しており、第2の部材は前記内腔内に収容されている。この外科用器具はまた、第2の部材を第1の部材に対して進入させるための配備部材をも含んでいる。
例えば、図6Aを参照すると、例えば軟らかい組織を骨に取り付けるために縫合糸によって結合された2つのアンカーの間接鏡的な挿入を許容する縫合糸アンカー挿入器具300は、2つのアンカーを収容するための外側管状部材310と、アンカーを配備するための作動ハンドル320と、骨に穴を開けるための後退可能な突き錐390を収容する部材310によって並列に取り付けられた第2の管状部材315と、突き錐390を制御するための作動レバー337と、部材310からのアンカーの及び部材315からの突き錐の制限された配備を可能にするアダプタ330とを含んでいる。図6C及び6Dを参照すると、アダプタ330は、第1の案内軌道340と第2の案内軌道360とを画成している。案内軌道340は、案内軌道140に関して上記した方法と同じ方法で部材310からの2つのアンカーの配備をガイドする。案内軌道360は、レバー337によって突き錐390の伸長及び後退をガイドする。レバー337は、例えば、圧入、溶接又は半田付けによって突き錐390に結合される。
