Description

この発明は、主として胃瘻造設術(PEG:percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy)に用いられる臓器固定具であって、縫合具が複数個収納され、操作部本体の操作によって一個ずつ押し出される連発式のものである。   The present invention is an organ fixing tool mainly used for gastrostomy (PEG: percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy), in which a plurality of suturing tools are housed and are pushed out one by one by operating the operation unit main body.

以前の胃瘻造設術では、2本の穿刺針を体表から胃壁まで穿刺し、穿刺針の一方から縫合糸を挿入し、これを他方から挿入したループ体で引っ掛けて縫合糸を捕捉し、ループさせていた。ループ状になった縫合糸を引き上げることで胃が吊り上げられ、さらに縫合糸同士を互いに縛ることで体壁と胃壁とが固定される。その後、ガイドワイヤやダイレータを体表から深く穿刺して体壁と胃壁に貫通孔を大きく形成し、そこに留置カテーテルを留置して胃瘻を造設する。   In previous gastrostomy procedures, two puncture needles were punctured from the body surface to the stomach wall, a suture was inserted from one side of the puncture needle, and this was hooked by a loop body inserted from the other side to capture the suture, and the loop I was letting. The stomach is lifted by pulling up the looped suture, and the body wall and the stomach wall are fixed by binding the sutures to each other. Thereafter, a guide wire or dilator is deeply punctured from the body surface to form large through holes in the body wall and stomach wall, and an indwelling catheter is placed therein to construct a gastrostoma.

一般的な胃瘻造設術においては、体壁と胃壁とは、胃瘻造設予定部を取り囲むように少なくとも3箇所(場合により4箇所)で固定する必要がある。胃瘻の造設後は、縫合糸は切断して抜糸される。
この方式だと、各固定箇所に2本の穿刺針を穿刺する必要があるため高侵襲であり、また医師の技量によっては胃の中で縫合糸をループ体で捕捉することが難しい場合があった。
In a general gastrostomy, it is necessary to fix the body wall and the gastric wall at at least three (4 in some cases) so as to surround the gastrostomy scheduled part. After the gastrostomy is constructed, the suture is cut and removed.
This method is highly invasive because two puncture needles need to be punctured at each fixed location, and depending on the skill of the doctor, it may be difficult to capture the suture with a loop body in the stomach. It was.

これに対し、特許文献1の器具(先行技術)によれば、その図11等に示すように、1本の穿刺針のみで胃壁を体壁に固定できるため、低侵襲かつ容易な手技が可能になった。この手技によれば、2本の縫合糸を結ぶのではなく、棒状の係止部の中央に縫合糸が係合したT字状の縫合具を胃内に挿入して胃壁を吊り上げることで、1本の穿刺針で手技可能であり、かつ縫合糸をループさせる必要がなくなった。
特許文献1の器具は、穿刺針の内部に複数個の縫合具が装備されて個別に押し出すことが可能な形態(以下、連発式という)である。具体的には、4個の縫合具が穿刺針に収容されている。このため、1回の手技において3〜4箇所で胃壁を体壁に固定するにあたり、1個の器具でこれを実現することができる。このため、器具を廃棄、開封、持ち替えるなどの交換作業が不要になるため簡便である。
特許文献1の縫合具では、係止部に1本の縫合糸が係合している。かかる縫合具を体表に固定するにあたっては、その縫合糸を他の縫合具の縫合糸と体表で互いに結びつける。
On the other hand, according to the instrument (prior art) of Patent Document 1, the stomach wall can be fixed to the body wall with only one puncture needle, as shown in FIG. Became. According to this technique, instead of tying two sutures, by inserting a T-shaped suture tool with a suture engaged in the center of a bar-shaped locking portion into the stomach and lifting the stomach wall, The procedure can be performed with one puncture needle, and it is not necessary to loop the suture.
The instrument of patent document 1 is a form (henceforth a repetitive type) which is equipped with a some suture tool inside a puncture needle, and can be extruded separately. Specifically, four suture tools are accommodated in the puncture needle. For this reason, in fixing a stomach wall to a body wall in 3-4 places in one procedure, this can be realized with one instrument. This eliminates the need for replacement work such as discarding, opening, and changing instruments.
In the suture tool of Patent Document 1, one suture thread is engaged with the locking portion. When fixing such a suture tool to the body surface, the suture thread is tied to each other by the suture thread of the other suture tool and the body surface.

特許文献2には、同じくT字状の縫合具を用いた臓器固定具が記載されている。この器具は、棒状の係止部(ロッド)に対して、ループさせた1本の縫合糸を係合させた縫合具を用いる。この臓器固定具は、穿刺針の内部に一個の縫合具のみが装備される形態(以下、単発式という)である。縫合糸にはパッド状のクッション材が装着されている。クッション材を体表に押し当て、また縫合糸のループを切って2本紐の状態にしたうえで、互いに交絡させてクッション材に縛り付ける。これにより、3〜4箇所の固定箇所において、個別の縫合具ごとに体表に固定することが可能である。   Patent Document 2 describes an organ fixing device using a T-shaped suture tool. This instrument uses a suturing tool in which a looped suture thread is engaged with a rod-shaped locking portion (rod). This organ fixing tool is in a form in which only one suturing tool is provided inside the puncture needle (hereinafter referred to as a single shot type). A pad-shaped cushion material is attached to the suture thread. The cushion material is pressed against the body surface, and the suture loop is cut into a two-string state and then entangled with each other and tied to the cushion material. Thereby, it is possible to fix to the body surface for each individual suture tool at 3 to 4 fixing locations.

特許文献1の臓器固定具は、4本の縫合糸のすべてが穿刺針の内部に挿通されているため、縫合糸同士が絡まりやすいという課題がある。縫合糸が絡まると、先端の係止部を穿刺針から押し出して穿刺針を体壁から抜去しようとしたときに、他の係止部まで引き出されてしまう虞がある。
また、特許文献1の臓器固定具は、穿刺針が太く高侵襲であるという課題がある。すなわち、特許文献1の臓器固定具は、穿刺針の内部に4本の縫合具を収容すると、最上段、すなわち押出装置側の穿刺針の内部に通る係止部の周囲には4本の縫合糸が分散して配置されることとなる。このため、穿刺針の内径は少なくとも、係止部の外径に加えて、その両側に2本分の縫合糸の太さを合計しただけの寸法が必要である。このため、特許文献1の臓器固定具は、1本の縫合具のみを収納した単発式のものと比較し、穿刺針の外径が太くなる。
したがって、特許文献1の器具は、連発式であることによる手技上のメリットはあるものの、縫合糸が絡まって操作困難になるリスクと、穿刺針が太く高侵襲であるという課題がある。
また、特許文献2の臓器固定具は、単発式であるため、胃壁と体壁との1点の固定ごとに1個の器具が必要であり、器具の交換が煩雑であるとともにコストが高いという課題がある。
The organ fixing device of Patent Document 1 has a problem that sutures tend to be entangled because all of the four sutures are inserted into the puncture needle. If the suture thread is entangled, there is a possibility that when the locking portion at the tip is pushed out from the puncture needle and the puncture needle is removed from the body wall, it is pulled out to another locking portion.
Moreover, the organ fixing tool of patent document 1 has the subject that a puncture needle is thick and highly invasive. That is, when the organ fixing tool of Patent Document 1 accommodates four suture tools inside the puncture needle, four sutures are provided around the uppermost stage, that is, around the locking portion that passes through the puncture needle on the extrusion device side. Yarns are distributed and arranged. For this reason, at least the inner diameter of the puncture needle needs to be a dimension that is the sum of the thicknesses of two suture threads on both sides in addition to the outer diameter of the locking portion. For this reason, the outer diameter of the puncture needle becomes thicker in the organ fixing tool of Patent Document 1 than in the single-shot type that houses only one suture tool.
Therefore, although the instrument of Patent Document 1 has a technical advantage due to the continuous type, there is a risk that the suture becomes entangled and difficult to operate, and there is a problem that the puncture needle is thick and highly invasive.
Moreover, since the organ fixing tool of patent document 2 is a single shot type, one instrument is required for each fixation of the stomach wall and the body wall, and the replacement of the instrument is complicated and the cost is high. There are challenges.

本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、器具を廃棄、開封、持ち替えるなどの交換作業が低減されて簡便であるという連発式のメリットを有し、かつ従来の連発式の臓器固定具よりも縫合糸の絡まりを抑制して動作の安定性を向上するとともに穿刺針を細径化して低侵襲を実現しうる臓器固定具を提供するものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has a continuous-type merit that the exchange work such as discarding, opening, and changing the instrument is reduced and is simple, and the conventional continuous-type organ fixing device. In addition, the present invention provides an organ fixing device that improves the stability of the operation by suppressing the entanglement of the suture thread and can reduce the diameter of the puncture needle to realize minimally invasive.

本発明によれば、棒状の係止部と、上記係止部に端部が連結された縫合糸と、をそれぞれ有する複数個の縫合具と、複数個の上記係止部を収納する穿刺針と、を有し、複数個の上記係止部は上記穿刺針の先端から基端に向かって上記穿刺針の内部の収容部に並んで収容されており、操作部本体の操作によって上記複数個の係止部が上記穿刺針の先端から一個ずつ押し出される連発式の臓器固定具であって、先端側に収納された上記縫合具の縫合糸を上記穿刺針の内部で挿通するための糸通路が、基端側に収納された他の上記縫合具の上記係止部に、上記係止部の押出方向に沿って、当該他の係止部の周面に溝状に形成されており、上記収容部の直径と、上記係止部のうち上記糸通路を除く部位の直径と、の差分である空隙寸法が、上記縫合糸の2本分の直径よりも小さいことを特徴とする連発式の臓器固定具が提供される。
According to the present invention, a plurality of suture tools each having a rod-shaped locking part, and a suture thread having an end connected to the locking part, and a puncture needle that houses the plurality of locking parts And a plurality of the locking portions are housed side by side in a housing portion inside the puncture needle from the distal end to the proximal end of the puncture needle. Threaded passage for inserting a suture thread of the suturing device housed on the distal end side into the puncture needle , wherein the locking portion of the puncture needle is pushed out one by one from the distal end of the puncture needle Is formed in a groove shape on the peripheral surface of the other locking portion along the pushing direction of the locking portion, in the locking portion of the other sewing tool housed on the base end side , The gap dimension that is the difference between the diameter of the accommodating portion and the diameter of the portion of the locking portion excluding the thread passage is the suture thread. Two pins barrage formula organ fasteners, characterized in that less than the diameter of the is provided.

上記発明によれば、係止部に形成された糸通路を通じて穿刺針の内部に縫合糸を挿通することができる。これにより、連発式のメリットを有しつつ、穿刺針を細径化することができるため低侵襲の臓器固定具が実現できる。   According to the said invention, a suture can be penetrated into the inside of a puncture needle through the thread | yarn channel | path formed in the latching | locking part. Thereby, since it is possible to reduce the diameter of the puncture needle while having the merit of repetitive type, a minimally invasive organ fixing device can be realized.

臓器固定具100は、図1〜図3に示すように、縫合具20,20a〜20cと、穿刺針30と、操作部本体63を有する押出装置40と、を備える。
縫合具20,20a〜20cは、図1および図2に示すように、棒状の係止部21,21a〜21cと、係止部21,21a〜21cに端部が連結された縫合糸22,22a〜22cと、からなる。
穿刺針30は、複数個、本実施形態においてはたとえば4個の係止部21,21a〜21cを先基端方向に並べて収納するものである。
本実施形態の連発式の臓器固定具100が備える押出装置40は、操作部本体63の操作によって複数個(たとえば2個)の係止部21,21aを穿刺針30から一個ずつ押し出すものである。
図2に示すように、先端側に収納された縫合具20,20a,20bの縫合糸22,22a,22bを穿刺針30の内部で挿通するための糸通路23a〜23dが、基端側に収納された他の縫合具20a〜20cの係止部21a〜21cに形成されている。
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the organ fixing device 100 includes suture devices 20, 20 a to 20 c, a puncture needle 30, and an extrusion device 40 having an operation unit main body 63.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the suture tools 20, 20 a to 20 c include rod-shaped locking portions 21, 21 a to 21 c, and sutures 22 having ends connected to the locking portions 21, 21 a to 21 c, 22a-22c.
The puncture needle 30 accommodates a plurality of, for example, four locking portions 21, 21 a to 21 c in this embodiment side by side in the proximal direction.
The extrusion device 40 included in the repetitive organ fixing device 100 of the present embodiment pushes a plurality of (for example, two) locking portions 21 and 21a one by one from the puncture needle 30 one by one by operating the operation portion main body 63. .
As shown in FIG. 2, thread passages 23a-23d for inserting the sutures 22, 22a, 22b of the suture tools 20, 20a, 20b housed on the distal end side into the puncture needle 30 are formed on the proximal end side. It forms in the latching | locking part 21a-21c of the other accommodated suture tools 20a-20c.

次に、本実施形態の縫合具20,20a〜20cについて詳細に説明する。
縫合具20,20a〜20cは、図2に示すように、臓器固定具100に複数本、たとえば4本装填され、連発式で使用される。
縫合具20,20a〜20cは、穿刺針30の針先31側から順に一段目の縫合具20と、二段目の縫合具20aと、三段目の縫合具20bと、四段目の縫合具20cと、からなる。
Next, the suture tools 20 and 20a to 20c of the present embodiment will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of, for example, four suturing tools 20, 20a to 20c are loaded on the organ fixing device 100 and used in a repetitive manner.
The suture tools 20, 20a to 20c are the first-stage suture tool 20, the second-stage suture tool 20a, the third-stage suture tool 20b, and the fourth-stage suture, in order from the needle tip 31 side of the puncture needle 30. And the tool 20c.

次に、本実施形態の係止部21,21a〜21cは、ステンレス鋼などの金属製の棒状、たとえば円柱形である。
係止部21,21a〜21c、すなわち四段目の縫合具20cの係止部21cの周囲には、図1に示すように、糸通路23a〜23dが形成されている。
Next, the latching | locking parts 21 and 21a-21c of this embodiment are metal rod shapes, such as a cylindrical shape, such as stainless steel.
As shown in FIG. 1, thread passages 23a to 23d are formed around the locking portions 21 and 21a to 21c, that is, around the locking portion 21c of the fourth-stage suture tool 20c.

次に、本実施形態の糸通路23a〜23dは、図1に示すように、係止部21cの押出方向に沿って、当該係止部21cの周面に溝状に形成されている。
すなわち、糸通路23a〜23dは、係止部21cの周面から、係止部21cの軸心に向かって凹んだ、断面が半円形の溝状に削成されている。
Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the yarn passages 23a to 23d of the present embodiment are formed in a groove shape on the peripheral surface of the locking portion 21c along the pushing direction of the locking portion 21c.
That is, the thread passages 23a to 23d are cut into a groove shape having a semicircular cross section that is recessed from the peripheral surface of the locking portion 21c toward the axial center of the locking portion 21c.

なお、図2において四段目に位置する係止部21cを例にあげて説明したが、他の一段目から三段目にそれぞれ位置する係止部21,21a、21bにも同様の構造を備える。   In FIG. 2, the locking portion 21c positioned at the fourth stage has been described as an example. However, the locking sections 21, 21, a, and 21b positioned at the first to third stages have the same structure. Prepare.

図1に示す本実施形態の糸通路23a〜23dの幅寸法は、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径以上である。糸通路23a〜23dの幅寸法とは、穿刺針30の収納部32の周方向にみた糸通路23a〜23dの寸法である。糸通路23a〜23dの深さも、同様に、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径以上とすることができる。糸通路23a〜23dの深さとは、穿刺針30の収納部32の径方向にみた糸通路23a〜23dの寸法である。   The width dimension of the thread passages 23a to 23d of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c. The width dimension of the thread passages 23a to 23d is the dimension of the thread paths 23a to 23d viewed in the circumferential direction of the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30. Similarly, the depth of the thread passages 23a to 23d can be equal to or greater than the diameter of the suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c. The depths of the thread passages 23a to 23d are the dimensions of the thread passages 23a to 23d viewed in the radial direction of the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30.

糸通路23a〜23dの深さを、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径以上とすると、係止部21cの周囲からの縫合糸22,22a〜22cの突出をなくし、縫合糸22,22a〜22cを糸通路23a〜23dの内部に収容することができる。収納部32の内径と、係止部21cのうち糸通路23a〜23dを除く部位の直径と、の差分(空隙寸法)は、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの2本分の直径よりも小さく、好ましくは縫合糸22,22a〜22cの1本分の直径よりも小さい。このため、係止部21,21a〜21cを順に押し出す際に、縫合糸22,22a〜22cが糸通路23a〜23dから脱落せず、互いに絡まることがない。   If the depth of the thread passages 23a to 23d is equal to or greater than the diameter of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c, the protrusion of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c from the periphery of the locking portion 21c is eliminated, and the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c. Can be accommodated in the yarn passages 23a to 23d. The difference (gap size) between the inner diameter of the storage portion 32 and the diameter of the portion excluding the thread passages 23a to 23d in the locking portion 21c is smaller than the diameter of the two suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c, The diameter is preferably smaller than the diameter of one suture thread 22, 22a to 22c. For this reason, when pushing out the latching | locking parts 21 and 21a-21c in order, the suture thread 22, 22a-22c does not drop from the thread | yarn channel | paths 23a-23d, and does not get entangled with each other.

これに対し、糸通路23a〜23dの深さを、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径未満、すなわち浅くすると、係止部21cの周囲からの縫合糸22,22a〜22cの一部が突出する。このため、糸通路23a〜23dの深さが深いことが好ましいが、それより浅くても穿刺針30を細径化に貢献する(図12に示す変形例を参照)。たとえば縫合糸の本数を4本とし、係止部21の周囲に90度間隔で4個の糸通路23a〜23dを分散形成する場合において、各糸通路(23a〜23d)の深さを、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径の1/2に設定することができる。この場合、各縫合糸22,22a〜22cは直径の1/2(半径)だけ糸通路23a〜23dから突出することになる。縫合糸22,22a〜22cの全部を包含する外接円の直径は、係止部21の直径に加えて、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの一本分の直径を合せただけの小径に抑制することができる。このため、穿刺針30を細径化して低侵襲の臓器固定具100が実現する。   On the other hand, when the depth of the thread passages 23a to 23d is less than the diameter of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c, that is, shallower, a part of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c protrudes from the periphery of the locking portion 21c. . For this reason, it is preferable that the depth of the thread passages 23a to 23d is deep, but the puncture needle 30 contributes to reducing the diameter even if the depth is smaller than that (see the modification shown in FIG. 12). For example, in the case where the number of suture threads is four and four thread paths 23a to 23d are dispersedly formed around the locking portion 21 at intervals of 90 degrees, the depth of each thread path (23a to 23d) is set to the suture. It can be set to 1/2 of the diameter of the yarns 22, 22a to 22c. In this case, each of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c protrudes from the thread passages 23a to 23d by a half (radius) of the diameter. The diameter of the circumscribed circle including all of the suture threads 22, 22 a to 22 c is suppressed to a small diameter that is equal to the diameter of one suture thread 22, 22 a to 22 c in addition to the diameter of the locking portion 21. be able to. For this reason, the diameter of the puncture needle 30 is reduced, and the minimally invasive organ fixing device 100 is realized.

図12は、変形例にかかる穿刺針30を示す断面図である。糸通路23a〜23dの幅寸法および深さを縫合糸22,22a〜22cの直径未満としてもよい。この変形例においては、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの内径側の一部のみが糸通路23a〜23dに収容されており、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの外径側は係止部21cよりも外側に位置している。糸通路23a〜23dの凹形状は、縫合糸22,22a〜22cの外周面に沿う円弧状である。   FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a puncture needle 30 according to a modification. The width dimension and depth of the thread passages 23a to 23d may be less than the diameter of the suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c. In this modification, only a part on the inner diameter side of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c is accommodated in the thread passages 23a to 23d, and the outer diameter side of the suture threads 22, 22a to 22c is more than the locking portion 21c. Located on the outside. The concave shapes of the thread passages 23a to 23d are arc shapes along the outer peripheral surfaces of the suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c.

収納部32の内径と、対向する糸通路23aおよび23cの最深部同士を通る係止部21cの直径と、の差分は、縫合糸22および22bの直径の合計よりも僅かに大きい。また、収納部32の内径と、係止部21cのうち糸通路23a〜23dを除く部位の直径と、の差分は、縫合糸22および22bの直径の合計よりも小さい。
同様に、収納部32の内径と、対向する糸通路23bおよび23dの最深部同士を通る係止部21cの直径と、の差分は、縫合糸22aおよび22cの直径の合計よりも僅かに大きい。また、収納部32の内径と、係止部21cのうち糸通路23a〜23dを除く部位の直径と、の差分は、縫合糸22aおよび22cの直径の合計よりも小さい。
係止部21、21a、21bに関しても同様である。
これにより、本変形例の臓器固定具100に関しても、係止部21,21a〜21cを順に押し出す際に、縫合糸22,22a〜22cは糸通路23a〜23dにそれぞれ係合した状態から脱落することがなく、互いに絡まることがない。
The difference between the inner diameter of the storage portion 32 and the diameter of the locking portion 21c passing through the deepest portions of the opposing thread passages 23a and 23c is slightly larger than the sum of the diameters of the sutures 22 and 22b. Further, the difference between the inner diameter of the storage portion 32 and the diameter of the portion of the locking portion 21c excluding the thread passages 23a to 23d is smaller than the sum of the diameters of the suture threads 22 and 22b.
Similarly, the difference between the inner diameter of the storage portion 32 and the diameter of the locking portion 21c passing through the deepest portions of the opposing thread passages 23b and 23d is slightly larger than the sum of the diameters of the sutures 22a and 22c. Further, the difference between the inner diameter of the storage portion 32 and the diameter of the portion of the locking portion 21c excluding the thread passages 23a to 23d is smaller than the sum of the diameters of the suture threads 22a and 22c.
The same applies to the locking portions 21, 21a, 21b.
Thereby, also with respect to the organ fixing device 100 of this modification, when the locking portions 21, 21a to 21c are sequentially pushed out, the sutures 22 and 22a to 22c are dropped from the state engaged with the thread passages 23a to 23d, respectively. And never get tangled with each other.

次に、本実施形態の糸通路23a〜23dが、図1に示すように、複数個、たとえば4個形成されている。4個の糸通路23a〜23dは、互いに離間するように穿刺針30の内部に分散形成されている。本実施形態の4個の糸通路23a〜23dは、係止部21(係止部21c)の周囲に等間隔で分散配置されている。   Next, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of, for example, four yarn passages 23a to 23d of the present embodiment are formed. The four thread passages 23a to 23d are distributed and formed inside the puncture needle 30 so as to be separated from each other. The four yarn passages 23a to 23d of the present embodiment are distributed and arranged at regular intervals around the locking portion 21 (locking portion 21c).

なお、ここでは四段目に位置する係止部21c(図2を参照)を例にあげて説明したが、他の一段目から三段目にそれぞれ位置する係止部21,21a、21bも同様の構造を備えている。
穿刺針30の針先31側から順に一段目の係止部21は、図示しないが、自身の縫合糸22が通る1個の糸通路があれば足りるが、糸通路を2個以上設けてもよい。
二段目の係止部21aは、図示しないが、自身の縫合糸22aが通る1個の糸通路に加え、一段目の縫合糸22が通る計2個の糸通路があれば足りるが、糸通路を3個以上設けてもよい。

Here, the locking portion 21c (see FIG. 2) positioned at the fourth level has been described as an example, but the locking portions 21, 21a, 21b positioned at the first level to the third level are also described. It has the same structure.
Although not shown in the drawings, the first locking portion 21 in order from the needle tip 31 side of the puncture needle 30 suffices if there is one thread passage through which its own suture thread 22 passes, but two or more thread passages may be provided. Good.
Although not shown in the drawing, the second-stage locking portion 21a is sufficient if there are a total of two thread paths through which the first-stage suture thread 22 passes in addition to one thread path through which the own suture thread 22a passes. Three or more passages may be provided.
Although not shown in the figure, the third-stage locking portion 21b has a total of three thread paths through which the first-stage and second-stage suture threads 22 and 22a pass in addition to one thread path through which the own suture thread 22b passes. As long as it is sufficient, four or more yarn paths may be provided.
As shown in FIG. 1, the fourth-stage locking portion 21 c includes a single thread passage 23 c through which its own suture thread 22 c passes, and a total of the first-stage to third-stage suture threads 22, 22 a, 22 b. Although four thread paths 23a to 23d are sufficient, five or more thread paths may be provided.

次に、本実施形態の糸通路23a〜23dは、3個以上、たとえば4個形成されている。4個の糸通路23a〜23dは、穿刺針30の内部に均等に分散形成されている。すなわち、4個の糸通路23a〜23dは、90度間隔で形成されている。
なお、図2において四段目に位置する係止部21cを例にあげて説明したが、他の一段目から三段目にそれぞれ位置する係止部21,21a、21bにも同様の構造を備える。
Next, three or more, for example, four yarn paths 23a to 23d of the present embodiment are formed. The four thread passages 23 a to 23 d are uniformly distributed inside the puncture needle 30. That is, the four yarn passages 23a to 23d are formed at intervals of 90 degrees.
In FIG. 2, the locking portion 21c positioned at the fourth stage has been described as an example. However, the locking sections 21, 21, a, and 21b positioned at the first to third stages have the same structure. Prepare.

本実施形態の臓器固定具100においては、すべての縫合糸22,22a〜22cの本数(4本)と同数の糸通路23a〜23dが、係止部21,21a〜21cにそれぞれ形成されている。これにより、係止部21,21a〜21cを互いに同一の形状とすることができ部品点数の削減に資する。   In the organ fixing device 100 of the present embodiment, the same number of thread passages 23a to 23d as the number of suture threads 22, 22a to 22c (four) are formed in the locking portions 21, 21a to 21c, respectively. . Thereby, the latching | locking parts 21 and 21a-21c can be made into the mutually same shape, and it contributes to reduction of a number of parts.

本実施形態の縫合糸22,22a〜22cは、ナイロンなどの樹脂製である。縫合糸22,22a〜22cは、係止部21,21a〜21cに対して1本ずつ設けられている。縫合糸22,22a〜22cの一端部は係止部21,21a〜21cの長さの途中、たとえば中央に熱融着または接着固定されている。縫合糸22,22a〜22cの他端部は臓器固定具100の外部に導き出されている。   The suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c of the present embodiment are made of resin such as nylon. One suture thread 22, 22a-22c is provided for each of the locking portions 21, 21a-21c. One end portions of the suture threads 22 and 22a to 22c are heat-sealed or bonded and fixed to the middle of the lengths of the locking portions 21 and 21a to 21c, for example, at the center. The other ends of the sutures 22 and 22a to 22c are led out of the organ fixing device 100.

穿刺針30は、ステンレス鋼などの金属製の円筒からなる注射針である。穿刺針30の内部の収納部32には、図2に示すように、係止部21,21a〜21cが挿通自在に収納されている。収納部32は、中空であり、その全長が係止部21,21a〜21cの4個分の長さ以上に設定されている。すなわち、収納部32は、穿刺針30の軸心方向に沿って、係止部21,21a〜21cを複数個、たとえば4個収納できるものである。
収納部32は、一端部が針先31にて開放され、他端部が押出装置40に連通されている。収納部32の直径、すなわち穿刺針30の内径は、図1に示すように、係止部21,21a〜21cの直径よりも僅かに大きい。
The puncture needle 30 is an injection needle made of a metal cylinder such as stainless steel. As shown in FIG. 2, locking portions 21, 21 a to 21 c are stored in the storage portion 32 inside the puncture needle 30 so as to be freely inserted. The accommodating part 32 is hollow, and the full length is set more than the length for four of the latching | locking parts 21,21a-21c. That is, the storage part 32 can store a plurality of, for example, four locking parts 21, 21 a to 21 c along the axial direction of the puncture needle 30.
The storage portion 32 has one end opened at the needle tip 31 and the other end communicated with the extrusion device 40. The diameter of the storage part 32, that is, the inner diameter of the puncture needle 30, is slightly larger than the diameters of the locking parts 21, 21a to 21c, as shown in FIG.

次に、本実施形態の押出装置40について詳細に説明する。
押出装置40は、連発式の動作を行うためのものである。ここでは便宜上、2本の縫合具20,20aを装填して順に送り出すものを例にあげて説明する。
押出装置40は、図3から図8に示すように、大別すると、筒部50と、操作部60と、把持部70と、ロック装置80と、からなる。
Next, the extrusion apparatus 40 of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.
The extrusion device 40 is for performing a continuous operation. Here, for the sake of convenience, a description will be given of an example in which two suture tools 20 and 20a are loaded and sequentially sent out.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the extrusion device 40 is roughly composed of a cylindrical portion 50, an operation portion 60, a gripping portion 70, and a lock device 80.

筒部50は、合成樹脂製の円筒であって、図3から図5に示すように、穿刺針30が固定されるものである。筒部50は、両端部が開口し、その開口一端部に、針先31とは反対側の穿刺針30の基端部が固定され、当該穿刺針30の収納部32に連通し、開口他端部からは内部に操作部60が挿入される。筒部50には、図5に示すように、内外に貫通する糸出用孔51が設けられている。糸出用孔51は、図示しないが、係止部21,21aの糸通路23a〜23dを通って、穿刺針30の収納部32内から筒部50の内部に導き出された2本の縫合糸22,22aが通る。   The cylinder part 50 is a cylinder made of synthetic resin, and the puncture needle 30 is fixed as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. Both ends of the tube portion 50 are open, and a proximal end portion of the puncture needle 30 on the opposite side of the needle tip 31 is fixed to one end portion of the opening, communicated with the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30, and other openings. The operation unit 60 is inserted into the inside from the end. As shown in FIG. 5, the tube portion 50 is provided with a yarn discharge hole 51 penetrating inward and outward. Although not shown, the thread output hole 51 passes through the thread passages 23a to 23d of the locking portions 21 and 21a, and the two suture threads led from the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30 to the inside of the tube portion 50. 22 and 22a pass.

操作部60は、筒部50の内部を通って穿刺針30の収納部32内に収納された係止部21,21aを、穿刺針30の針先31から押し出すものである。操作部60は、図3から図8に示すように、大別すると、押出棒61と、押圧部62と、操作部本体63と、からなる。   The operation unit 60 pushes the locking portions 21 and 21 a stored in the storage unit 32 of the puncture needle 30 through the inside of the tube unit 50 from the needle tip 31 of the puncture needle 30. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the operation unit 60 is roughly composed of an extrusion rod 61, a pressing unit 62, and an operation unit main body 63.

押出棒61は、ステンレス鋼などの金属製の芯棒である。図5および図9に示すように、押出棒61は筒部50の内部から穿刺針30の収納部32内に挿入され、収納部32内をスライドすることで、収納部32内に収納された係止部21,21aを針先31から押し出す。すなわち、収納部32内には、針先31から順に、一段目の係止部21と、次段に位置する二段目の係止部21aが順に収納されていることから、押出棒61は、二段目の係止部21aに当接する。押出棒61が針先31側に進むと、当該押出棒61に押されて、二段目の係止部21aが針先31側に進む。このため、二段目の係止部21aに押されて、一段目の係止部21も針先31側に進む。   The extrusion rod 61 is a core rod made of metal such as stainless steel. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the push rod 61 is inserted from the inside of the cylindrical portion 50 into the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30 and is stored in the storage portion 32 by sliding in the storage portion 32. The locking portions 21 and 21a are pushed out from the needle tip 31. That is, in the storage portion 32, the first-stage locking portion 21 and the second-stage locking portion 21 a positioned in the next stage are sequentially stored from the needle tip 31. , Abuts on the second-stage locking portion 21a. When the push bar 61 advances to the needle tip 31 side, it is pushed by the push bar 61 and the second-stage locking portion 21a advances to the needle tip 31 side. For this reason, it is pushed by the second stage locking part 21a, and the first stage locking part 21 also advances toward the needle tip 31 side.

押圧部62は、合成樹脂製の円筒である。図5に示すように、押圧部62の一端部に押出棒61が固定されている。押圧部62の他端部は、後述する操作部本体63に至り、操作部本体63の押圧力を押出棒61に伝達する。押圧部62は、筒部50の内部にスライド可能に保持され、同図において上側に開口する開口他端部から筒部50の外部に突出する。   The pressing part 62 is a synthetic resin cylinder. As shown in FIG. 5, the push rod 61 is fixed to one end portion of the pressing portion 62. The other end of the pressing portion 62 reaches an operation portion main body 63 described later, and transmits the pressing force of the operation portion main body 63 to the push rod 61. The pressing portion 62 is slidably held inside the cylindrical portion 50 and protrudes to the outside of the cylindrical portion 50 from the other open end portion that opens upward in FIG.

操作部本体63は、合成樹脂製の円板形であって、図5から図8に示すように、押圧操作を行うためのものである。操作部本体63は、図3に示すように、同図において上側に位置する押圧部62の上端部から円板形に張り出している。操作部本体63の外径は、同図において上側に開口する筒部50の開口他端部の内径より大きく設定され、誤って筒部50内に嵌り込まないようにしている。   The operation portion main body 63 is a disc shape made of synthetic resin, and is for performing a pressing operation as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the operation portion main body 63 protrudes in a disk shape from the upper end portion of the pressing portion 62 located on the upper side in the drawing. The outer diameter of the operation portion main body 63 is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the other open end of the cylindrical portion 50 that opens upward in the drawing so that the operating portion main body 63 is not accidentally fitted into the cylindrical portion 50.

把持部70は、合成樹脂製の平板形であって、押出装置40を把持するものである。把持部70は、図3に示すように、同図において筒部50の下側から左右両側に向かって対称に板状に張り出している。   The gripping portion 70 is a flat plate made of synthetic resin and grips the extrusion device 40. As shown in FIG. 3, the gripping part 70 projects symmetrically from the lower side of the cylinder part 50 toward the left and right sides in the same figure.

ロック装置80は、筒部50に対して操作部60が不用意にスライドするのを規制する手段である。ロック装置80は、図5に示すように、大別すると、係合爪81と、凹部82,82aと、からなる。これに加え、筒部50には、ロック装置80のロック状態を解除する解除用ボタン83,84が設けられている。   The lock device 80 is a means for restricting the operation unit 60 from inadvertently sliding with respect to the tube unit 50. As shown in FIG. 5, the locking device 80 is roughly composed of an engaging claw 81 and concave portions 82 and 82a. In addition, the cylinder part 50 is provided with release buttons 83 and 84 for releasing the lock state of the lock device 80.

係合爪81は、凹部82,82aのいずれかに嵌り込むことで、筒部50に対する操作部60の押圧が阻止される。
係合爪81は、図5から図7に示すように、押圧部62に設けられ、その外周から凸形に突出する。押圧部62が、円筒形に形成されていることから、その外周壁を切り欠くことで、凸形の部分が筒内部に弾性的にたわみ込むことができるようにしている。
The engagement claw 81 is fitted into one of the recesses 82 and 82 a, thereby preventing the operation unit 60 from being pressed against the cylinder unit 50.
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the engaging claw 81 is provided in the pressing portion 62 and protrudes in a convex shape from the outer periphery thereof. Since the pressing portion 62 is formed in a cylindrical shape, the convex portion can be elastically bent into the cylinder by cutting out the outer peripheral wall thereof.

凹部82,82aは、図5に示すように、筒部50に設けられ、同図において上下二段に設けられている。
凹部82,82aは、筒部50の内外に貫通し、筒部50の内周側からは係合爪81が嵌り込み、外周側には後述する解除用ボタン83,84がそれぞれ取り付けられている。
図4において上側に位置する凹部82に、係合爪81が嵌り込んだ状態では、押出棒61の先端部が、図8に示すように、穿刺針30の収納部32内に収納された二段目、すなわち同図に上側に位置する係止部21aに臨む。
上側に位置する凹部82に、係合爪81が嵌り込んだ状態では、それ以上、操作部60が筒部50の内部に押し込まれるのを阻止し、縫合具20,20aが穿刺針30の針先31から押し出されるのを防止する。また、操作部60が、筒部50の内部から抜けるのを防止する。
上側に位置する凹部82に嵌り込んでいた係合爪81が、図4において下側に位置する凹部82aに向かって進むと、押出棒61に押されて、二段目の係止部21aが針先31側に進む。このため、二段目の係止部21aに押されて、一段目の係止部21が針先31から押し出される。
当該位置で、下側に位置する凹部82aに、係合爪81が嵌り込む。下側に位置する凹部82aに、係合爪81が嵌り込んだ状態では、それ以上、操作部60が筒部50の内部に押し込まれるのを阻止し、二段目の縫合具20aが穿刺針30の針先31から押し出されるのを防止する。
As shown in FIG. 5, the recesses 82 and 82a are provided in the cylindrical portion 50, and are provided in two upper and lower stages in the figure.
The recesses 82 and 82a penetrate the inside and outside of the cylindrical portion 50, the engaging claw 81 is fitted from the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 50, and release buttons 83 and 84 to be described later are respectively attached to the outer peripheral side. .
In the state where the engaging claw 81 is fitted in the concave portion 82 located on the upper side in FIG. 4, the distal end portion of the push bar 61 is stored in the storage portion 32 of the puncture needle 30 as shown in FIG. 8. It faces the step, that is, the engaging portion 21a located on the upper side in FIG.
In a state where the engaging claw 81 is fitted in the concave portion 82 located on the upper side, the operating portion 60 is further prevented from being pushed into the cylindrical portion 50, and the suture tools 20, 20 a are the needles of the puncture needle 30. It is prevented from being pushed out from the tip 31. Further, the operation unit 60 is prevented from coming off from the inside of the tube unit 50.
When the engaging claw 81 fitted in the concave portion 82 located on the upper side proceeds toward the concave portion 82a located on the lower side in FIG. 4, it is pushed by the push rod 61, and the second-stage locking portion 21 a is Proceed to the needle tip 31 side. For this reason, it is pushed by the second-stage locking portion 21 a and the first-stage locking portion 21 is pushed out from the needle tip 31.
At this position, the engaging claw 81 is fitted into the concave portion 82a located on the lower side. In a state where the engaging claw 81 is fitted in the concave portion 82a located on the lower side, the operation portion 60 is further prevented from being pushed into the cylindrical portion 50, and the second-stage suture tool 20a is inserted into the puncture needle. It is prevented from being pushed out from 30 needle tips 31.

解除用ボタン83,84は、合成樹脂製のボタン形であって、図5に示すように、凹部82,82aのいずれかに嵌り込んだ係合爪81を、凹部82,82a内から筒部50の内部に向かって、すなわち筒部50の中心に向かって半径方向内向きに押し出すものである。
その結果、係合爪81が、凹部82,82aから係脱し、ロック状態が解除される。
解除用ボタン83,84は、図5に示すように、上下の凹部82,82aに筒部50の外周側から嵌り込み、図示しないが、板バネやコイルバネのバネ力で外周から突出する。
The release buttons 83 and 84 are formed of a synthetic resin button, and as shown in FIG. 5, the engaging claw 81 fitted into one of the recesses 82 and 82a is inserted into the cylindrical portion from the recesses 82 and 82a. It pushes inward in the radial direction toward the inside of 50, that is, toward the center of the cylindrical portion 50.
As a result, the engaging claw 81 is disengaged from the recesses 82 and 82a, and the locked state is released.
As shown in FIG. 5, the release buttons 83 and 84 are fitted into the upper and lower recesses 82 and 82a from the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 50 and project from the outer periphery by the spring force of a plate spring or a coil spring (not shown).

本実施形態の臓器固定具100の使用方法について説明する。

対向する少なくとも一対の係止部21,21aの端面に、互いに嵌合する凹凸部600,610が形成されている。
なお、図2において一段目、二段目に位置する係止部21,21aを例にあげて説明したが、図示しないが、二段目に位置する係止部21aと三段目に位置する係止部21bとの間や、三段目に位置する係止部21bと四段目に位置する係止部21cとの間に、同様の構造の凹凸部を設ける。
Concavity and convexity portions 600 and 610 that are fitted to each other are formed on the end surfaces of at least a pair of engaging portions 21 and 21a that face each other.
In FIG. 2, the first and second locking portions 21 and 21a are described as examples. However, although not shown, the second locking portion 21a and the third locking portion are positioned. An uneven portion having a similar structure is provided between the locking portion 21b and between the locking portion 21b positioned at the third level and the locking portion 21c positioned at the fourth level.

凹凸部600,610は、断面が非円形に形成されている。凹凸部600,610のうち、凹部600は、図2において一段目の係止部21の基端側(図21の上方)の端面に形成されている。本実施形態の凹部600は横断面が方形の凹状である。横断面とは、係止部21を軸心方向に対して直交する方向に切った断面である。凹部600は有底であり、係止部21の端面の中心から軸心方向に凹状に延びている。凸部610は、係止部21aの先端側(図21の下方)の端面の中心に角柱状に突出して形成されている。凸部610の横断面形状は、凹部600と対応している。係止部21aの凸部610は、その先端側に位置する他の係止部21の基端側(図21の上方)の端面の凹部600と嵌合する。凹部600の深さと、凸部610の全長との関係は、凹部600の深さが凸部610の全長以上であってもよい。   The concavo-convex portions 600 and 610 have a non-circular cross section. Of the concavo-convex portions 600 and 610, the concave portion 600 is formed on the end surface on the base end side (upper side in FIG. 21) of the first-stage locking portion 21 in FIG. The concave portion 600 of the present embodiment is a concave shape having a square cross section. A cross section is a cross section which cut the latching | locking part 21 in the direction orthogonal to an axial center direction. The concave portion 600 has a bottom and extends in a concave shape in the axial direction from the center of the end surface of the locking portion 21. The convex portion 610 is formed so as to protrude in the shape of a prism at the center of the end surface on the distal end side (downward in FIG. 21) of the locking portion 21a. The cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 610 corresponds to the concave portion 600. The convex portion 610 of the locking portion 21a fits with the concave portion 600 on the end surface on the base end side (upper side in FIG. 21) of the other locking portion 21 located on the distal end side thereof. The relationship between the depth of the concave portion 600 and the total length of the convex portion 610 may be such that the depth of the concave portion 600 is equal to or greater than the total length of the convex portion 610.

2個の係止部21,21aは、図示しないが、穿刺針内に挿入した際に、凹凸部600,610が互いに嵌り合うことで、隣接する係止部21,21aの軸心回りの相対的な回転を規制する。これにより、中空部500の内部で縫合糸22,22aが互いに捩れあって絡まるのを防止できる。   Although not shown in the figure, the two locking portions 21 and 21a are relatively arranged around the axis of the adjacent locking portions 21 and 21a when the concave and convex portions 600 and 610 are fitted to each other when inserted into the puncture needle. Regular rotation. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sutures 22 and 22a from being twisted and entangled with each other inside the hollow portion 500.

なお、本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の目的が達成される限りにおける種々の変形、改良等の態様も含む。
たとえば、係止部を中空に形成して筒内部を糸通路にするとともに、さらに係止部の周面に他の糸通路を溝状に形成してもよい。これにより、縫合糸の本数が多いとき、一部の縫合糸を筒内部に挿通し、他の縫合糸を係止部の周面の溝状の糸通路に通すことができる。このため、縫合糸同士の絡まり合いを低減することができる。
また、係止部の内部に、複数の独立した糸通路を通孔形成し、各通孔にそれぞれ縫合糸を一本ずつ挿通することとしてもよい。
