湾曲軸を備えた外科用ステープラ装置
発明の背景
本発明は外科用ステーシラ装置に関し、特に、ステーグル止め機能を行なう装置
の部分と装置の作動器部分との中間に長さ方向湾曲軸を備えた外科用ステーシラ
装置に関する。
オペレータによりステーシラが保持されかつ作動される位置から比較的離れた位

打込むことにより、ステープルの端部が組織を貫通してアンビル組立体との接触
によって折り曲げられてステーゾル止めされる。
器具を操作するのに要する力は、オペレータにより器具の近い方の端あるいはこ

上記形式の器具の幾つかの適用例において、装置の遠い方の部分および近い方の
部分を連結する長い軸構造物を長さ方向に湾曲させることが望ましい。このこと
により、器具を特別な人体組織内に入れやすくし、あるいは、遠く離れた比較的
近付き難いステープル止め箇所に到達しやすくシ、あるいは又、器具のオペレー

可能となる。しかしながら、この形式の器具の構造は、作動力および運動を湾曲
構造物に沿って伝達しなければならないことを意味し、このことは器具の設計を
かなり複雑なものとする。この構造物は湾曲のまわりに作動力および運動を伝達
することができなければならないことの必要性に加えて、器具の湾曲(81曲が
り“)に大きな変化を生じさせることなくかつ直状器具に存在するよりも、摩擦
による大きな損失なしでこれらの力や運動を伝達しなければならない。
湾曲形の外科用ステープル止め器具を設計する上での別の煩られしい要因は、7

しかしながら、たった1回の外科手術に使用した後器具を経済的に捨てることの
できるようにするためには、器具のコストは比較的安価でなければならない。こ
のことは一般に、器具をできる限りプラスチックのごとき安価な材料で作らねば
ならないことおよび器具の構造をできる限り簡単かつ軽量にしなければならない
ことを意味する。経済的に使い捨て可能な器具に対するこれらの重要さはどれも
湾曲形器具に対する要件と容易に両立できない。例えば、湾曲構造物の変形の問
題は比較的厚い構造あるいは高価で強度の大きな材料を使用することにより減ら

以上から、本発明の目的は遠い方のステーゾル止め要素と近い方の作動要素との
