- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/427,501 is also a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/389,733 entitled “Apparatus and Method to Access the Bone Marrow for Oncology and Stem Cell Applications” and filed Mar. 27, 2006, now abandoned, which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/448,650 filed May 30, 2003, now abandoned, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/384,756, filed May 31, 2002.
- the present disclosure is related to apparatus and methods for obtaining biopsy specimens from bone and/or associated bone marrow and obtaining larger quantities of bone and/or associated bone marrow for diagnostic purposes and/or transplantation of stem cells and/or bone marrow.
- bone marrow There are many clinical conditions where it is important to be able to access and retrieve bone marrow. In some cases it may be necessary to treat diseases with a bone marrow or stem cell transplant to restore functioning blood cells in the body after high-dose chemotherapy. Such conditions may include acute leukemias, brain tumors, breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, ovarian cancer, sarcoma and testicular cancer. In other cases it is necessary to access the bone marrow to obtain a sample of the marrow for diagnostic testing. These conditions may include cancer of any type and hematologic disease of any origin.
- Gaining access to bone and associated bone marrow for a small biopsy specimen or aspiration of a larger quantity of bone marrow may be difficult, traumatic and occasionally dangerous, depending on the selected target area for harvesting bone and/or associated bone marrow, operator expertise and patient anatomy.
- Many currently available devices and techniques for gaining access to a bone and associated bone marrow may include using an intraosseous (IO) needle with a removable trocar disposed therein. Handles may be used to apply pressure to and manually rotate the IO needle and trocar as a set. Such manual IO devices often require substantial force to break through the outer cortex of a bone. Exertion of such force may cause pain to a patient and may sometimes damage the bone and/or IO device.
- IO intraosseous
- Excessive force when harvesting bone and/or bone marrow from the sternum of a patient may cause penetration through the sternum and potentially damage the underlying heart and/or great blood vessels. Damage may also occur when harvesting bone marrow from children with softer bone structures or any patient with bones deteriorated by disease (cancer).
- Retrieving bone and bone marrow samples for diagnostic purposes may often be difficult. Occasionally a core sample of bone and/or bone marrow may not be successfully retrieved using a standard biopsy needle. Thus, multiple insertions at different sites may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory bone and/or bone marrow biopsy specimen. Risks to health care personnel may be higher because of increased handling of blood contaminated sharp instruments. Accidental needle sticks and missed target areas may further complicate procedures and increase risks to health care personnel and/or patients.
- Conventional bone marrow transplant techniques may require multiple penetration sites (up to 20 per patient) in order to obtain enough bone marrow (sample size) to perform a routine bone marrow transplant. This is often a labor intensive procedure.
- Conventional biopsy needles are typically inserted with considerable manual force. This force may cause loss of control or operator fatigue. When the biopsy needle is in place, an associated trocar is generally removed and a syringe attached to the biopsy needle to aspirate a few cubic centimeters of bone marrow. The biopsy needle is then withdrawn. A new site is penetrated by the biopsy needle generally about a centimeter from the first site and the procedure repeated.
- One aspect of the present disclosures may include apparatus and methods to access bone and/or bone marrow with minimum trauma to a patient and still allow removal of sufficient amounts of bone and/or bone marrow the first time a bone is penetrated.
- Such apparatus may include a powered driver and an intraosseous device having an outer penetrator.
- the outer penetrator may have a tip or first end operable to penetrate bone and associated bone marrow.
- the outer penetrator may also have a longitudinal bore operable to remove a bone specimen and/or bone marrow from a target area.
- the outer penetrator may be used to harvest bone and/or associated bone marrow with or without an inner penetrator.
- a removable inner penetrator may be slidably disposed within an outer penetrator.
- the inner penetrator may have a first end operable to penetrate bone and/or bone marrow.
- the inner penetrator may also have a longitudinal bore operable to remove portions of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area.
- the inner penetrator may be a generally solid rod or shaft.
- the inner penetrator may have a longitudinalg bore extending therethrough.
- the inner penetrator may include a chamber or cavity formed proximate the first end.
- One embodiment may include a method for harvesting bone and/or bone marrow by slidably disposing portions of an inner penetrator within a hollow, outer penetrator to form an intraosseous (IO) device.
- the IO device may be inserted into a bone and/or associated bone marrow using a powered driver.
- the inner penetrator may be removed from the hollow, outer penetrator.
- Suction may then be applied to the hollow, outer penetrator to retrieve portions of bone and/or bone marrow via the hollow, outer penetrator.
- One method of harvesting bone and/or bone marrow in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure may include inserting a hollow, outer penetrator and an inner penetrator or first trocar into a bone and associated bone marrow.
- the inner penetrator may then be removed and a specimen of bone and/or bone marrow may be grasped by inserting a second trocar through the outer penetrator and into the bone marrow.
- the outer penetrator and the second trocar may cooperate with each other to allow opening one end of the second trocar during insertion of the second trocar into the bone marrow and to close the one end of the second trocar during retrieval of the specimen.
- an intraosseous (IO) device may be provided to remove a relatively small specimen of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area.
- an IO device may be provided to remove relatively larger quantities of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area.
- Such IO devices may have multiple side ports to remove bone marrow from respective target areas corresponding with each side port.
- the use of a powered driver to insert an intraosseous device into a target area to obtain a bone specimen and/or to obtain bone marrow samples may substantially reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with manually inserted biopsy needles.

- trocars, spindles and/or shafts may be disposed within an outer penetrator or cannula. Such trocars, spindles and shafts may sometimes be characterized as inner penetrators.
- An IO device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure will generally include an outer penetrator.
- An IO device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may or may not include an inner penetrator.
- Insertion site may be used in this application to describe a location on a bone at which an intraosseous device may be inserted or drilled into the bone and associated bone marrow. Insertion sites, penetration sites and installation sites are generally covered by skin and soft tissue.
- target area may be used in this application to describe selected portions of a bone cavity or locations in a bone cavity from which associated bone marrow may be harvested in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure.
- Bone and/or marrow biopsy may be generally described as removing a relatively small piece or specimen of bone and/or bone marrow from a selected target area for biopsy purposes.
- Bone marrow aspiration (sometimes referred to as “bone marrow sampling”) may be generally described as removing larger quantities of bone marrow from a selected target area. Relatively large quantities of bone marrow may be used for diagnostic, transplantation and/or research purposes. For example some stem cell research techniques may require relatively large quantities of bone marrow.
- Many current available techniques used to harvest bone and/or bone marrow may require more than one penetration into a bone and associated bone marrow to retrieve an adequate sample of bone and/or bone marrow.
- Multiple penetration sites may be required in the same bone if a biopsy sample is not satisfactorily retrieved at the first penetration site.
- Medical personnel may need to insert an IO needle into several different penetration sites on the same bone to obtain adequate quantities of bone marrow for transplant or stem cell research. For example obtaining sufficient quantities of bone marrow from a patient's pelvis may require six or more insertion sites.
- Multiple insertions may be extremely painful for a patient and may deter some people from donating bone marrow. Multiple insertions may also cause fatigue in medical personnel performing such procedures with manual IO devices.
- Bone marrow transplant procedures and various research procedures such as stem cell research often require relatively large quantities of bone and/or bone marrow.
- Hip bones generally have a large bone cavity and are therefore frequently used as a target area for harvesting bone marrow for transplant procedures, stem cell research procedures or any other procedure requiring relatively large quantities of bone marrow.
- intraosseous device 60 is shown installed in a portion of hip bone 100 referred to as the ilium.
- One of the penetration sites or insertion sites frequently used for obtaining bone marrow from a hip bone may be the posterior iliac crest. See FIGS. 1 and 4 .

- Hip bone 100 may include three segments—the the ischium and the pubis. These segments are generally distinct from each other in young patients but are generally fused together in adults. Skin and soft tissue 102 generally cover insertion sites in crest 104 of the ilium. See FIGS. 1 and 4 . All bones generally include a tough, hard to penetrate layer of cortex. Crest 104 typically includes cortex layer 106 .
- FIGS. 1 and 4 show an enlarged cortex layer for illustration purposes only.
- a typical thickness for skin and soft tissue layer 102 may be seven to eight millimeters (7 mm to 8 mm).
- a typical thickness for cortex layer 106 may be approximately two millimeters (2 mm).
- penetrate assembly or intraosseous (IO) device 60 may be inserted in the crest of the ilium or any other insertion site with minimum trauma to obtain bone and/or bone marrow samples in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure.
- Oncologists and other health care provides may be unable to successfully obtain a suitable specimen of bone and/or bone marrow because currently available biopsy needles sometimes fail to capture a specimen of bone and/or bone marrow. When a specimen is obtained, the specimen may be damaged or contaminated.
- An intraosseous device incorporating teachings of the present invention may substantially reduce or eliminate problems associated with obtaining a suitable specimen of bone and/or bone marrow. See for example IO devices 80 a ( FIG. 8A ), 80 b ( FIG. 8B ) and IO device 160 ( FIGS. 9A-9D ).

No. 10/448,650 filed May 30, 2003, now abandoned, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/384,756, filed May 31, 2002.
- The foregoing applications are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- U.S. application Ser. No. 10/449,503 entitled “Apparatus And Method To Provide Emergency Access To Bone Marrow”, filed May 30, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,670,328, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/384,756, filed. May 31, 2002, includes examples of apparatus and methods for harvesting bone and bone marrow.
- The present disclosure is related to apparatus and methods for obtaining biopsy specimens from bone and/or associated bone marrow and obtaining larger quantities of bone and/or associated bone marrow for diagnostic purposes and/or transplantation of stem cells and/or bone marrow.
- There are many clinical conditions where it is important to be able to access and retrieve bone marrow. In some cases it may be necessary to treat diseases with a bone marrow or stem cell transplant to restore functioning blood cells in the body after high-dose chemotherapy. Such conditions may include acute leukemias, brain tumors, breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, ovarian cancer, sarcoma and testicular cancer. In other cases it is necessary to access the bone marrow to obtain a sample of the marrow for diagnostic testing. These conditions may include cancer of any type and hematologic disease of any origin.
- Gaining access to bone and associated bone marrow for a small biopsy specimen or aspiration of a larger quantity of bone marrow may be difficult, traumatic and occasionally dangerous, depending on the selected target area for harvesting bone and/or associated bone marrow, operator expertise and patient anatomy. Many currently available devices and techniques for gaining access to a bone and associated bone marrow may include using an intraosseous (IO) needle with a removable trocar disposed therein. Handles may be used to apply pressure to and manually rotate the IO needle and trocar as a set. Such manual IO devices often require substantial force to break through the outer cortex of a bone. Exertion of such force may cause pain to a patient and may sometimes damage the bone and/or IO device.
- Excessive force when harvesting bone and/or bone marrow from the sternum of a patient may cause penetration through the sternum and potentially damage the underlying heart and/or great blood vessels. Damage may also occur when harvesting bone marrow from children with softer bone structures or any patient with bones deteriorated by disease (cancer).
- Retrieving bone and bone marrow samples for diagnostic purposes may often be difficult. Occasionally a core sample of bone and/or bone marrow may not be successfully retrieved using a standard biopsy needle. Thus, multiple insertions at different sites may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory bone and/or bone marrow biopsy specimen. Risks to health care personnel may be higher because of increased handling of blood contaminated sharp instruments. Accidental needle sticks and missed target areas may further complicate procedures and increase risks to health care personnel and/or patients.
- Conventional bone marrow transplant techniques may require multiple penetration sites (up to 20 per patient) in order to obtain enough bone marrow (sample size) to perform a routine bone marrow transplant. This is often a labor intensive procedure. Conventional biopsy needles are typically inserted with considerable manual force. This force may cause loss of control or operator fatigue. When the biopsy needle is in place, an associated trocar is generally removed and a syringe attached to the biopsy needle to aspirate a few cubic centimeters of bone marrow. The biopsy needle is then withdrawn. A new site is penetrated by the biopsy needle generally about a centimeter from the first site and the procedure repeated.
- One aspect of the present disclosures may include apparatus and methods to access bone and/or bone marrow with minimum trauma to a patient and still allow removal of sufficient amounts of bone and/or bone marrow the first time a bone is penetrated. Such apparatus may include a powered driver and an intraosseous device having an outer penetrator. The outer penetrator may have a tip or first end operable to penetrate bone and associated bone marrow. The outer penetrator may also have a longitudinal bore operable to remove a bone specimen and/or bone marrow from a target area. The outer penetrator may be used to harvest bone and/or associated bone marrow with or without an inner penetrator.
- For some embodiments a removable inner penetrator may be slidably disposed within an outer penetrator. The inner penetrator may have a first end operable to penetrate bone and/or bone marrow. The inner penetrator may also have a longitudinal bore operable to remove portions of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area. For some applications the inner penetrator may be a generally solid rod or shaft. For other applications, the inner penetrator may have a longitudinalg bore extending therethrough. For still other applications the inner penetrator may include a chamber or cavity formed proximate the first end.
- One embodiment may include a method for harvesting bone and/or bone marrow by slidably disposing portions of an inner penetrator within a hollow, outer penetrator to form an intraosseous (IO) device. The IO device may be inserted into a bone and/or associated bone marrow using a powered driver. The inner penetrator may be removed from the hollow, outer penetrator. Suction may then be applied to the hollow, outer penetrator to retrieve portions of bone and/or bone marrow via the hollow, outer penetrator.
- One method of harvesting bone and/or bone marrow in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure may include inserting a hollow, outer penetrator and an inner penetrator or first trocar into a bone and associated bone marrow. The inner penetrator may then be removed and a specimen of bone and/or bone marrow may be grasped by inserting a second trocar through the outer penetrator and into the bone marrow. The outer penetrator and the second trocar may cooperate with each other to allow opening one end of the second trocar during insertion of the second trocar into the bone marrow and to close the one end of the second trocar during retrieval of the specimen.
- For some embodiments an intraosseous (IO) device may be provided to remove a relatively small specimen of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area. For other embodiments an IO device may be provided to remove relatively larger quantities of bone and/or bone marrow from a target area. Such IO devices may have multiple side ports to remove bone marrow from respective target areas corresponding with each side port.
- The use of a powered driver to insert an intraosseous device into a target area to obtain a bone specimen and/or to obtain bone marrow samples may substantially reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with manually inserted biopsy needles.
- A more complete and thorough understanding of the present embodiments and advantages thereof may be acquired by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features, and wherein:

A wide variety of connectors and associated connector receptacles, fittings and/or other types of connections with various dimensions and configurations may be satisfactorily used to releasably engage an IO device with a powered driver or a manual driver.
- The term “fluid” may be used in this application to include any liquid including, but not limited to, blood, water, saline solutions, IV solutions, plasma or any mixture of liquids, particulate matter, dissolved medication and/or drugs appropriate for injection into bone marrow or other target sites. The term “fluid” may also be used in this patent application to include any body fluids and/or liquids containing particulate matter such bone marrow and/or cells which may be withdrawn from a target area.
- The term “intraosseous (IO) device” may be used in this application to include any hollow needle, hollow drill bit, penetrator assembly, bone penetrator, cannula, trocar, inner penetrator, outer penetrator, penetrator net, IO needle or IO needle set operable to provide access to an intraosseous space or bone cavity containing bone marrow. One example of an intraosseous device inserted into bone and associated bone marrow in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure is shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 . - A wide variety of trocars, spindles and/or shafts may be disposed within an outer penetrator or cannula. Such trocars, spindles and shafts may sometimes be characterized as inner penetrators. An IO device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure will generally include an outer penetrator. An IO device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may or may not include an inner penetrator.
- The terms “insertion site,” “penetration site,” and “installation site” may be used in this application to describe a location on a bone at which an intraosseous device may be inserted or drilled into the bone and associated bone marrow. Insertion sites, penetration sites and installation sites are generally covered by skin and soft tissue.
- The term “target area” may be used in this application to describe selected portions of a bone cavity or locations in a bone cavity from which associated bone marrow may be harvested in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure.
- The terms “harvest” and “harvesting” may be used in this application to include both bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. Bone and/or marrow biopsy (sometimes referred to as “needle biopsy”) may be generally described as removing a relatively small piece or specimen of bone and/or bone marrow from a selected target area for biopsy purposes. Bone marrow aspiration (sometimes referred to as “bone marrow sampling”) may be generally described as removing larger quantities of bone marrow from a selected target area. Relatively large quantities of bone marrow may be used for diagnostic, transplantation and/or research purposes. For example some stem cell research techniques may require relatively large quantities of bone marrow.
- Many current available techniques used to harvest bone and/or bone marrow may require more than one penetration into a bone and associated bone marrow to retrieve an adequate sample of bone and/or bone marrow. Multiple penetration sites may be required in the same bone if a biopsy sample is not satisfactorily retrieved at the first penetration site. Medical personnel may need to insert an IO needle into several different penetration sites on the same bone to obtain adequate quantities of bone marrow for transplant or stem cell research. For example obtaining sufficient quantities of bone marrow from a patient's pelvis may require six or more insertion sites. Multiple insertions may be extremely painful for a patient and may deter some people from donating bone marrow. Multiple insertions may also cause fatigue in medical personnel performing such procedures with manual IO devices.
- Bone marrow transplant procedures and various research procedures such as stem cell research often require relatively large quantities of bone and/or bone marrow. Hip bones generally have a large bone cavity and are therefore frequently used as a target area for harvesting bone marrow for transplant procedures, stem cell research procedures or any other procedure requiring relatively large quantities of bone marrow.
- In
FIGS. 1 and 4 intraosseous device 60 is shown installed in a portion ofhip bone 100 referred to as the ilium. One of the penetration sites or insertion sites frequently used for obtaining bone marrow from a hip bone may be the posterior iliac crest. SeeFIGS. 1 and 4 . Another insertion site may be the anterior iliac crest. -
Hip bone 100 may include three segments—the the ischium and the pubis. These segments are generally distinct from each other in young patients but are generally fused together in adults. Skin andsoft tissue 102 generally cover insertion sites increst 104 of the ilium. SeeFIGS. 1 and 4 . All bones generally include a tough, hard to penetrate layer of cortex. Crest 104 typically includescortex layer 106. -
FIGS. 1 and 4 show an enlarged cortex layer for illustration purposes only. A typical thickness for skin andsoft tissue layer 102 may be seven to eight millimeters (7 mm to 8 mm). A typical thickness forcortex layer 106 may be approximately two millimeters (2 mm). - As discussed later in more detail, penetrate assembly or intraosseous (IO)
device 60 may be inserted in the crest of the ilium or any other insertion site with minimum trauma to obtain bone and/or bone marrow samples in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure. - Oncologists and other health care provides may be unable to successfully obtain a suitable specimen of bone and/or bone marrow because currently available biopsy needles sometimes fail to capture a specimen of bone and/or bone marrow. When a specimen is obtained, the specimen may be damaged or contaminated. An intraosseous device incorporating teachings of the present invention may substantially reduce or eliminate problems associated with obtaining a suitable specimen of bone and/or bone marrow. See for
example IO devices 80 a (FIG. 8A ), 80 b (FIG. 8B ) and IO device 160 (FIGS. 9A-9D ). -
FIG. 1 shows one example of a system for removing bone marrow from a bone using apparatus and methods incorporating teachings of the present disclosure. Samples of bone and/or bone marrow may be obtained from any suitable bone including, but not limited to, tibia (leg bone), ilium (pelvis) or sternum (chest) using apparatus and methods incorporating teachings of the present disclosure.FIGS. 1 and 4 showintraosseous device 60 inserted into a target area in a patient's ilium. - Various features of the present disclosure may be described with respect to
powered driver 200. SeeFIG. 2 . Various features of the present disclosure may also be described with respect tointraosseous devices 60.

IO device 60 as shown inFIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 6 may includeconnector 50 andhub 70.Connector 50 may be described as having a generally cylindrical configuration defined in part byfirst end 51 andsecond end 52. First end 51 may include opening orconnector receptacle 54 disposed therein and sized to receiveconnector 216 ofpowered driver 200. SeeFIGS. 2 and 4 . - Connector receptacle or
opening 54 may be formed with various configurations and/or dimensions. One or more webs (not expressly shown) may be formed inend 51 extending from opening 54. Open segments or void spaces (not expressly shown) may be formed between such webs.Opening 54 and associated webs may be used to releasably engageConnector 50 with any driver satisfactory for installing an IO device at a selected insertion site. For some applicationsmetallic disk 55 may be disposed within opening 54 for use in releasably engagingpenetrator assembly 60 with a magnet (not expressly shown) disposed on the end ofconnector 216. - For some applications exterior portion of
connector 50 may include an enlarged tapered portion adjacent tofirst end 51. A plurality oflongitudinal ridges 53 may also be formed on the exterior ofconnector 50 proximatefirst end 51. The enlarged tapered portion and/orlongitudinal ridges 53 may allow an operator to grasp associatedpenetrator assembly 60 during attachment with a driver and may facilitate disengagement ofconnector 50 fromhub 70 after outer penetrator orcannula 80 has been inserted into a bone and associated bone marrow.Connector 50 may also be used to manipulate an attached trocar or inner penetrator during harvesting of bone and/or bone marrow in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure. -
Second opening 56 may be formed insecond end 52 ofconnector 50. SeeFIG. 4 . For some applications threads 57 may be formed on interior portions ofsecond opening 56 extending fromsecond end 52. Threads 57 may be sized to engagethreads 77 formed on exterior portions ofhub 70.Threads 57 and 77 may be characterized as forming portions of a Luer lock connection. However, the present disclosure is not limited use withthreads 57 and 77.Threads 37 oflock nut 36 and threads 57 ofconnector 50 may have similar configurations and dimensions. Various types of releasable connections including, but not limited to, other types of Luer lock connections may be formed on adjacent portions ofconnector 50 andhub 70. - Trocar or
inner penetrator 62 may be securely engaged withconnector 50 extending fromsecond end 52. SeeFIG. 4 . The dimensions and configuration ofinner penetrator 62 may be selected to allowinner penetrator 62 to be slidably inserted intolongitudinal bore 83 of outer penetrator orcannula 80.Trocar 62 may include first end ortip 64. The dimensions and configuration oftip 64 may be selected to accommodate insertingpenetrator assembly 60 into bone and associated bone marrow at a selected penetration site. - Inner penetrator or
trocar 62 and outer penetrator orcannula 80 may have sufficient length to allow harvesting bone marrow at target areas in a hip bone located four or five inches from an associated penetration site.Inner penetrator 62 and/orouter penetrator 80 may have a length of six (6) inches or more. For some applicationsouter penetrator 80 may be generally described as a hollow IO needle. -
Hub 70 may includefirst end 71 andsecond end 72. SeeFIGS. 1 and 4 . First end 71 ofhub 70 may have a generally cylindrical pin-type configuration compatible with releasably engaginghub 70 with second end or box end 52 ofconnector 50 andlock nut 36. As previously noted,threads 77 formed adjacent to end 71 ofhub 70 may be releasably engaged with threads 57 formed on interior portions of opening 56 ofconnector 50 andthreads 37 formed on interior portions oflock nut 36. - For some applications second end 72 of
hub 70 may have the general configuration of a flange. The dimensions and configuration ofsecond end 72 ofhub 70 may be varied to accommodate associated insertion sites.Hub 70 may be formed with a wide variety of flanges or other configurations compatible with contacting a patient's skin adjacent a respective insertion site. -
Passageway 76 may extend fromfirst end 71 throughhub 70 tosecond end 72. Portions ofpassageway 76 spaced fromsecond end 72 may have dimensions selected to be compatible with securely engaging exterior portions of outer penetrator orcannula 80 withhub 70.Second end 82 ofcannula 80 may be disposed withinpassageway 76 betweenfirst end 71 andsecond end 72. - First end 81 of
cannula 80 may extend fromsecond end 72 ofhub 70. Portions ofpassageway 76 extending fromfirst end 71 ofhub 70 may have an enlarged inside diameter to accommodate attachment with various types of fluid connectors. For example, see Luer fitting 39 formed on one end ofright angle connector 38 inFIG. 1 . - Cannula or
outer penetrator 80 may havelongitudinal bore 83 extending from first end ortip 81 tosecond end 82. First end 81 may have an opening to allow fluid communication therethrough.End 64 ofinner penetrator 62 may also extend through the opening inend 81 ofouter penetrator 80. SeeFIGS. 3 and 5A . Exterior dimensions of trocar orinner penetrator 62 are preferably selected to allowinner penetrator 62 to be inserted throughouter penetrator 80 withfirst end 64 ofinner penetrator 62 generally aligned withfirst end 81 ofouter penetrator 80 afterthreads 77 have been engaged with threads 57. SeeFIGS. 3 and 5A . -
Tip 81 ofouter penetrator 80 and/ortip 64 ofinner penetrator 62 may be operable to penetrate bone and associated bone marrow. The configuration and dimensions oftip 81 may be selected to allow insertingouter penetrator 80 into a bone and associated bone marrow without the use ofinner penetrator 62. However, placingtip 64 withintip 81 may substantially increase stability and minimize any tendency ofouter penetrator 80 to wobble during insertion ofIO device 60 into a bone and associated bone marrow. The use ofinner penetrator 62 withtip 64 may be particularly beneficial during penetration of a cortex layer covering a bone. - The configuration of
tips Tip 64 ofinner penetrator 62 may have various shapes such as a generally trapezoid shape with one or more cutting surfaces. For someapplications tips FIG. 5A . -
Outer penetrator 80 and/orinner penetrator 62 may be formed from various materials including, but not limited to, stainless steel, titanium or any other material having suitable strength and durability to penetrate bone and associated bone marrow. The combination ofhub 70 withcannula 80 may sometimes be referred to as an “intraosseous needle.” The combination oftrocar 62 withcannula 80 may sometimes be referred to as a “penetrator set” or an “IO needle set.” -
Hub 70 and particularly second end orflange 72 may be used to stabilizeintraosseous device 60 after insertion into a bone and associated bone marrow.Second end 52 ofconnector 50 may be releasably engaged fromfirst end 71 ofhub 70 after insertion ofouter penetrator 80 into associated bone marrow. SeeFIG. 4 . The depth of such insertion will be dependent upon the distance betweentip 81 ofcannula 80 andflange 72 ofhub 70. Annular slot or groove 73 may be formed withinsecond end 72 and sized to receive one end of a protective cover or needle cap (not expressly shown). Slot or groove 73 may be used to releasably engage a protective cover withpenetrator assembly 60. -

connector 216 may be formed on the one end of the rotatable shaft. A matching box type fitting or connector receptacle may be provided on an intraosseous device so thatconnector 216 ofpowered driver 200 may be releasably engaged with the intraosseous device. For some applications,connector 216 may have a pentagonal shaped cross section with tapered surfaces formed on the exterior thereof. - Handle 206 may include a battery (not expressly shown) or other power source. Handle 206 may also include
trigger assembly 208 for use in activatingpowered driver 200. Examples of powered drivers are shown in pending patent applications Ser. No. 10/449,503 filed May 30, 2003 entitled “Apparatus and Method to Provide Emergency Access To Bone Marrow,” now U.S. Pat. No. 7,670,328; Ser. No. 10/449,476 filed May 30, 2003 entitled “Apparatus and Method to Access Bone Marrow,” now U.S. Pat. No. 7,699,850; and Ser. No. 11/042,912 filed Jan. 25, 2005 entitled “Manual Intraosseous Device,” now U.S. Pat. No. 8,641,715. -
FIG. 4 showsinner penetrator 62 removed fromouter penetrator 80. A cap (not expressly shown) will generally be placed overend 71 ofhub 70 unlessIO connector assembly 30 will be promptly engaged withend 71 ofhub 70 or another penetrator or trocar will be promptly inserted intoouter penetrator 80. Such caps are frequently used with biopsy needles and other types of intraosseous devices to prevent undesired fluid communication therethrough. - After
inner penetrator 62 has been removed fromouter penetrator 60,lock nut 36 may be used to releasably engageIO connector assembly 30 withend 71 ofhub 70. SeeFIG. 1 . Other types of penetrators and trocars may also be inserted throughopening 7A ofhub 70 andlongitudinal bore 83 ofouter penetrator 80.Inner penetrator 62 e as shown inFIG. 8B andtrocar 162 as shown inFIGS. 9A-9D are examples of two such devices which may be inserted through opening 74 inhub 70 andlongitudinal bore 83 ofouter penetrator 80. -
FIG. 5A showstip 64 ofinner penetrator 62 andtip 81 ofouter penetrator 80 disposed immediately adjacent to each other after having been ground to form machined cutting surfaces 66 and 86. Grindingtips edges 67 a and 37 a and associated cuttingedges respective tips penetrator assembly 60 are inserted into a bone and associated bone marrow. Cutting surfaces 66 and 86, associated cuttingedges edges inner penetrator 62 withtip 64 withinouter penetrator 80 andtip 81 may substantially reduce and/or eliminate any tendency ofIO device 60 to wobble while being inserted or drilled through a cortex layer. - Sometimes a longitudinal groove may run along one side of an inner penetrator to allow bone chips and/or tissue to exit an insertion site as a penetrator assembly is drilled deeper into bone and associated bone marrow.
FIG. 5B showsinner penetrator 162 slidably disposed withinouter penetrator 80. First end or tip 164 ofinner penetrator 162 may be disposed adjacent to first end ortip 81 ofouter penetrator 80.Tips Longitudinal groove 165 formed ininner penetrator 162 may extend fromtip 164. Longitudinal groove orslot 165 may run along the side oftrocar 162 to allow bone marrow and/or tissue to exit an insertion site as an associated intraosseous device is installed at an insertion site. - For some applications an outer penetrator or cannula incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include an interior threaded portion to grab or “purchase” a bone specimen as an IO device is inserted into a bone. The use of a powered driver may increase effectiveness of an IO device having such interior threads to reliably collect a bone specimen on the first insertion into a bone.
- Bone cells function as progenitor cells to produce or manufacture red and white cells for associated bone marrow. As a result, clinicians and medical technologists often use small pieces of bone (spicules) to determine if normal, disease free bone anatomy and architecture are present at an insertion site. A sample of only bone marrow does not satisfactorily indicate the condition of the bone which produced the bone marrow. A bone marrow sample may not indicate the presence of cancer or other diseases (particularly at an early stage) in an associated bone.
- Various features of
outer penetrators cortex layer 106 and adjacent portions ofbone 100 andbone marrow 108 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 4 . However, intraosseous ti devices incorporating teachings of the present disclosure as shown inFIGS. 7A-7D may be used to obtain bone and/or bone samples from a wide variety of insertion sites and target areas. Teachingg of the present disclosure are not limited to the iliac crest or hip bones. -
FIG. 7A showsouter penetrator 80 a havinginternal threads 92 disposed adjacent to first end ortip 81.Threads 92 may be sized to be releasably engaged with a sample of bone and/or bone marrow during rotation ofouter penetrator 80 a by a powered driver. Afterouter penetrator 80 a and previously describedinner penetrator 62 or any other suitable penetrator have been inserted throughcortex layer 106inner penetrator 62 may be withdrawn. A suitable connector such as asecond connector 50 withoutinner penetrator 62 attached thereto (not expressly shown) may be used to re-engagepowered driver 200 withhub 70.Powered driver 200 may then be used to continue insertingouter penetrator 80 a into the desired insertion site which will result in first end ortip 81 coring portions of bone and/or bone marrow adjacent tocortex layer 106. - Continued rotation of
outer penetrator 80 a will result inthreads 92 securely engaging the bone specimen withinlongitudinal bore 83 ofouter penetrator 80 a.Outer penetrator 80 a may then be disconnected frompowered driver 200.Hub 70 may be used to disengage or withdrawouter penetrator 80 a from the insertion site. The bone and/or bone marrow sample may be removed fromlongitudinal bore 83 by inserting an appropriately sized rod (not expressly shown) throughfirst end 81 ofouter penetrator 80 a. The rod may be used to push the bone and/or bone marrow sample throughlongitudinal bore 83 and out ofsecond end 82. - One of the benefits of the present disclosure includes the ability to modify internal thread designs and/or limit the number of threads to optimize retention of a bone or bone marrow sample and at the same time minimize damage which may occur to a bone and/or bone marrow sample during removal from an associated outer penetrator or cannula. For example
outer penetrator 80 b as shown inFIG. 7B may include only one or twothreads 92 formed withinlongitudinal bore 83 adjacent tofirst end 81 as compared withmultiple threads 92 disposed withinouter penetrator 80 a as shown inFIG. 7A . A bone and/or bone marrow sample may often be more easily disengaged from one or twothreads 92 as compared to the larger number ofthreads 92 shown inouter penetrator 80 a.Respective threads 92 contained inouter penetrators - One of the features of the present disclosure may include sampling multiple target areas while at the same time installing or inserting an intraosseous device into only a single penetration site. For example outer penetrator or
cannula 80 e as shown inFIG. 8A may include multiple sampling ports or side ports formed in the exterior thereof. For embodiments such as shown inFIG. 8A outer penetrator orcannula 80 e may include sampling ports orside ports longitudinal bore 83 to the exterior ofouter penetrator 80 e. -
Sampling ports - Inner penetrator or
trocar 62 e as shown inFIG. 8B may includelongitudinal bore 63 extendingfirst end 64 to second end 69 ofinner penetrator 62 e. Sampling port orside port 68 may be formed ininner penetrator 62 e proximatefirst end 64. Samplingport 68 may be used to communicate fluids and/or bone marrow samples between the exterior of inner penetrator 62 a andlongitudinal bore 63. - Various types of connections may be provided on second end 69 of
inner penetrator 62 e. For embodiments such as shown inFIG. 8B a Luer type connection represented bythreads 77 andopening 74 may be disposedproximate end 71. A wide variety of tubing connectors and various types of bone marrow aspiration equipment may be releasably engaged withend 71 ofinner penetrator 62 e. Various techniques and procedures may be satisfactorily used to selectively alignsampling port 68 withrespective sampling ports port 68 of inner penetrator 62 a is respectively aligned with samplingport outer penetrator 80 e, respective portions of bone marrow may be suctioned from adjacent target areas. - Generally only a limited volume (a few cubic centimeters) of bone marrow may be retrieved from any one target area before systemic blood begins to enter the target area and will often be retrieved with the bone marrow sample. Therefore, aspiration of bone marrow from multiple target areas is generally required to obtain larger volumes of bone marrow. Forming multiple sampling ports or sine ports in an intraosseous device in accordance with teachings of the present disclosure may allow retrieving multiple bone marrow samples from a single insertion site. For example, three sample ports or three side ports may allow retrieving three times the volume of bone marrow samples as compared with using a conventional biopsy needle at the same insertion site. The total number of insertions of intraosseous device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may be substantially reduced while still allowing accumulation of relatively large samples of bone marrow for transplantation, diagnostic and/or research procedures.
- For embodiments such as shown in
FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C removable trocar 62 e may be inserted intolongitudinal bore 83 ofouter penetrator 80 e. Sampling port ϵmay be aligned with samplingport 88 a ofouter penetrator 80 e. Suction or low pressure vacuum may then be applied to end 71 of the Luer type connection attached toremovable trocar 62 e. Bone marrow samples may be removed from a target area adjacent to sideport 88 a until undesired quantities of systemic blood appear in the bone marrow sample. After removing an appropriate amount of bone marrow fromside port 88 a,removable trocar 62 e may be moved to a position adjacent to samplingport 88 b. The same procedure may be repeated to remove an appropriate amount of bone marrow from a target area adjacent to samplingport 88 b. The same sampling procedure may be repeated at samplingport 88 c and any other sampling port or ports formed in exterior portions ofouter penetrator 80 e. - Currently available instruments used to obtain samples of bone and/or bone marrow frequently have less than desired ability and reliability to engage and satisfactorily withdraw a sample of bone and/or associated bone marrow. Currently available instruments satisfactory for grasping a bone specimen may not be satisfactory for grasping a more fluid sample of bone marrow. One aspect of the present disclosure includes providing a trocar having one end which may be opened and closed to securely grasp a sample of bone and/or bone marrow.

Outer penetrator orcannula 180 may includelongitudinal bore 183 extending fromfirst end 181 to a second end (not expressly shown).Longitudinal bore 183 may include enlarged insidediameter portion 183 a disposed adjacent to and extending fromfirst end 181.Longitudinal bore 183 may also include reduced insidediameter portion 183 b extending from the second end ofouter penetrator 180 towardsfirst end 181.Longitudinal bore 183 may also include transition portion or tapered insidediameter portion 183 c extending between enlargedinside diameter portion 183 a and reduced insidediameter portion 183 b. SeeFIGS. 9A and 9B . - An inner penetrator such as previously described
inner penetrator 62 may be disposed withinlongitudinal bore 183 during installation ofintraosseous device 160 at a penetration site. The inner penetrator may be removed fromouter penetrator 180 whenfirst end 181 is located at a desired target area for obtaining a bone marrow specimen.Trocar 162 may next be slidably disposed inlongitudinal bore 183. SeeFIGS. 9A and 9B . -
Trocar 162 will generally have a length greater than the length ofouter penetrator 180. As a result, first end 161 oftrocar 162 may extend fromfirst end 181 ofouter penetrator 180.Trocar 162 may also include a second end (not expressly shown) which extends from the second end ofouter penetrator 180.Connector 50 or any other suitable handle (not expressly shown) may be attached to the second end oftracer 162 for use in manipulatingtracer 162. - For some applications
inner trocar 162 may be described as having a “split end” configuration or a “split needle” configuration. SeeFIGS. 9A and 9D . For some applications trocar 162 may be a generally hollow tube extending from first end 161 to the second end. For other applications portions oftrocar 162 adjacent to the second end may be a generally solid rod or shaft (not expressly shown). - As shown in
FIGS. 9A- 9D trocar 162 may include split ends 164 a and 164 b defined in part byfirst segment 165 a andsecond segment 165 b extending from first end ortip 164.First segment 165 a andsecond segment 165 b may sometimes be described as “jaws”.Respective cavities first segment 165 a andsecond segment 165 b may be formed adjacent to splitends Segments segments outer penetrator 180. - Respective bump or
enlargement 166 a may be formed on exterior portions offirst segment 165 a spaced from first end or tip 164 a.
