Description
Method for shaping a position stabilizing body and waterjet surgery system The invention relates to a waterjet surgery system comprising a water pump, a fluid line and a nozzle, wherein the fluid line connects the water pump to the nozzle.
EP 1 589 884 teaches an example of such a waterjet surgery system.
In waterjet surgery of hard tissue, particularly bone, a relatively high water pressure is required to drill or bore into the tissue. This poses a challenge on the position- ing of the nozzle because of the thrust force that results from the waterjet being expelled from the nozzle, which may undesirably move the nozzle from its intended position. It is however a requirement in waterjet surgery to keep the nozzle stationary so as not to compromise the patient’s safety and to maintain a high level of accuracy during execution of the waterjet surgery.
The invention is aimed at providing a solution for the above pictured problem. According to the invention the so- lution is promoted by applying one or more of the appended claims.
Essentially the invention provides that the nozzle is embodied within a position stabilizing body, such as a disc.
There are different embodiments for the position sta- bilizing body of the invention, which each can be applied in- dependently from the other, or in combination.
The position stabilizing body of the invention can in one embodiment be provided with fixation means to fix the po- sition of the body in relation to an external object.
In another embodiment the position stabilizing body of the invention can have fixation means which are embodied as pins.
In still another embodiment the fixation means com- prise inflation means mounted on the position stabilizing body.
Suitably the inflation means are embodied as an in- flatable cushion.
In still another embodiment the fixation means com- prise a friction coating provided on the position stabilizing body. The friction coating can also be provided on the infla- tion means, notably on the cushion. With such a friction coat- ing it is possible to either increase or to lower the fric- tion, depending on the circumstances.
In still a further embodiment the position stabiliz- ing body is shaped to match the shape of an external object on which the body with the nozzle is to be applied.
In connection with the embodiment of the body as used according to the previous paragraph, the invention is also em- bodied in a method for shaping a position stabilizing body for use in a waterjet surgery system according to the invention, comprising the steps of: — imaging hard tissue, particularly bones, of a pa- tient on which surgery is to be carried out; and - forming a nozzle within a position stabilizing body by rapid prototyping, wherein the position stabilizing body is shaped to match the shape of the bones of the patient at a po- sition which has to be subjected to surgery. With the term ‘rapid prototyping’ as used herein, reference is made for in- stance to additive manufacturing.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a waterjet surgery system according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: -figure 1 shows a waterjet surgery system wherein the position stabilizing body with the nozzle according to the in- vention can be applied; -figures 2A/2B show one embodiment of the position stabilizing body which can be used in the waterjet surgery system of the invention; -figure 3 shows an example of using the position sta- bilizing body with the nozzle of the invention; -figure 4 pictures the method for shaping a position stabilizing body with a nozzle according to the invention; and
-figure 5 shows an example of using the position sta- bilizing body manufactured according to the method depicted in figure 4.
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
Making first reference to figure 1 a waterjet surgery system 1 is shown which comprises a source of water 2, a cyl- inder piston pump 3, and a fluid line 4 with a jet nozzle 5 which can be directed to an object which is to be cut or drilled. It is remarked that whenever in this application wa- ter is mentioned, it is not intended to refer to pure water, but to water which is suitable for medical applications and which accordingly comprises a saline solution derived from a storage 2.
The cylinder piston pump 3 with a piston 6 and a spring 7 that loads the piston 6 is only shown as an example of a possible embodiment of a pump. Other arrangements are al- so feasible.
The invention comes into play where it concerns the implementation of the nozzle 5.
Figures ZA and 2B show an embodiment of a position stabilizing body 8, which features the nozzle (not shown), usually located at the underside 8’ of the body 8. The posi- tion stabilizing body 8, in this example a disc, is provided with fixation means 9 to fix the position of the body 8 in re- lation to an external object such as is shown in figure 3 with reference to a bone structure 10. In the shown embodiment the fixation means 9 are inflation means 11, preferably an inflat- able cushion 12, mounted on the position stabilizing body 8.
This is however not the only option. It is for instance also possible to provide the position stabilizing body 8 with out- wardly projecting pins. This is not shown in the drawing of the figures, but how this can be implemented is entirely clear for the skilled person and it is therefore superfluous to show same in the drawing of the figures.
Figure 2A shows the position stabilizing body 8 wherein the inflatable cushion 12 is not yet inflated, whereas figure 2B shows the position stabilizing body 8 wherein infla- tion of the inflatable cushion 12 is completed. Accordingly when arrived at a partly or fully inflated situation as show in figure 2B it is possible to fix the position of the posi- tion stabilizing body 8 when in use as is depicted in figure
3.
It is further possible to apply a friction coating 13 on the position stabilizing body 8. Such a friction coating can also be applied on the inflatable cushion 12, or in gen- eral on the inflation means 11, as depicted with reference 14.
In figure 4 a method is depicted for manufacturing and shaping a position stabilizing body 8 for use in a water- jet surgery system 1 as shown in figure 1. In this method first hard tissue 16 representing a bone structure 10 of a pa- tient 15 is being imaged, as is shown in figure 4A and 4B. Thereafter a position stabilizing body 8 with a nozzle is formed by rapid prototyping as depicted in figure 4C, wherein the position stabilizing body 8 is shaped to match the shape of the bones 10 of the patient 15 at a position which has to be subjected to surgery. The eventual position stabilizing body 8 to be used is shown in figure 4D and in figure 5 same is shown in actual use. Figure 4D further images a waterjet stream 17, indicating the position of the nozzle (not shown) at the underside 8’ of the position stabilizing body 8.
Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the po- sition stabilizing body and an exemplary method for manufac- turing such a position stabilizing body, the invention is not restricted to these particular embodiments which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The body used exemplary embodiments shall therefore not be used to con- strue the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiments are merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to these exemplary embodiments. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using these exem- plary embodiments.
