Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Oct. 17, 1972 France 72.36701 Device for surgical drainage comprising a tube Of a flexible material, the end of which bears a needle in- Cl 27/24 50 R tended to be inserted in flesh.
  • This needle is hollow, at f A61"! A61b 17/34 least at its end adjoining the flexible tube, and this end Fleld 0f Search 123/350 is fixed by shrinking it upon the corresponding end of 27/24 A the tube, in which was placed previously a rigid filling part.
  • the French Patent No. 2,073,688 offered a device comprising a flexible tube, fitted with the inserting needle on the waisted rear-part, without any threading or ribbing.
  • This device enjoys the advantage of presenting at the same time a tube and a needle, which are quite well adjusted the one to the other, but there is a risk for both components to separate when a powerful traction is being exerted by the needle on the tube being held back by the tissues.
  • the cost price of such device seems quite high for apparatus to be used but once.
  • the invention proposes a drainage device, in which the inserting needle is hollow at least at the end adjoining the tube, this end being held by setting on the corresponding end of the tube, inside which is a rigid filling part.
  • the needle is quite solidary with the corresponding end of the tube owing to the setting of the one on the other, and to the internal filling part, which avoids any possibility for the tube to become deformed, or to slip.
  • the inserting needle is made of a metallic tube, the end of which opposite the other tubular part is point-like narrowed.
  • the metallic tube to be used has a middle rigidness. So, the practitioner can modify the form of the needle according to the conditions of use. At his will, he has in hand a needle, which is straight, slightly curved, or on the contrary very much curved, or else comprising a straight part followed by a curve, etc. Then, this would not be possible with inserting needles, such as in the present used draining devices, for those are made usually ofa rigid stainless steel wire, to which was given a well-defined shape, the practitioner can not change.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial section view of the inserting needle with the corresponding end of the tube
  • FIG. 3 is a section view along line III-Ill of the FIG.
  • the tube bears a needle 2, intended to be inserted into flesh.
  • the needle is made of a metallic tube of middle rigidity, of stainless steel, or aluminium alloy, such as Duralinox, preferably.
  • the inside diameter of the needle must be equal or lightly larger than the outer diameter of the other tube 1. If the making of a device fitted with a standard tube of PVC with an inside diameter of 1,5 mm, and an outer diameter of 3.0 mm is wished, so a stainless steel tube with an inside diameter of about 3.05 to 3.20 mm, and a wall thickness between 0.10 and 0.30 mm according to the intended rigidity is to be taken.
  • the tube 2 is secured on the corresponding end of the flexible tube 1 by a setting of the rear-end 3 of the one on the other by means of a shrinking machine.
  • the flexible tube is being inserted into the metallic tube 2 over a length of about 10 to 20 mm, then the metallic tube is being set on the flexible tube, so that the outer diameter of the first is reduced to 3 mm.
  • a filling and straightening part 4 was placed before setting inside the corresponding end of the tube 1, as it appears in the FIG. 2.
  • this way of making a device gives the advantage that the outer diameter of the whole apparatus is fairly constant without any hindering outer projection. Indeed, the end of the needle 2 comes and links up with the outer surface of the flexible tube because of the setting of the tube on the tail portion 4b with a decreasing diameter 4a of the inner part 4. Consequently, the outer diameter of the needle end 3 decreases up to the terminal edge 6, and the outer surface of the needle comes and is flush with that of the tube, both surfaces linking up one with the other perfectly.
  • Setting of the needle on the tube end can be effected in a few seconds on a shrinking machine or a rotary swaging machine.
  • This machine can also be used for shaping the terminal point 7 of the needle 2.
  • the needle point can be made by narrowing the corresponding end of the metallic tube, which the needle is made of.
  • this manufacturing method of a needle starting from a metallic tube, the end of which is being narrowed for shaping the point gives the advantage of strengthening the point.
  • the rear-end 3 itself of the needle is strengthened with its setting on the corresponding end of the flexible tube 1.
  • the needle 2 can be manufactured from a metallic tube of middle rigidity with no need of any rigid tube. This gives the advantage that the needle shape can be altered according to circumstances later on by the practitioner, who uses the needle. So, a needle can be made of more or less soft materials, such as aluminium or magnesium alloys, or stainless steels without any thermal treatment (for example A181 304).
  • the inner strengthening filling part 4 can be either solid, or hollow, according to its dimensions and composition; for example, a tube of silicon rubber with an inner diameter of 4 mm, can be strengthened with a little cylinder of PVC, with an outer diameter of 4 mm, and a length of about 20 mm, the tube being introduced in the needle over a length of to mm. Nevertheless, the part 4 can also be made of semi-rigid plastic, e.g. polythen, polyamid, PVC, or a metal such as aluminium.
  • semi-rigid plastic e.g. polythen, polyamid, PVC, or a metal such as aluminium.
  • the needle point can be manufactured by inserting a solid point into the corresponding end of the tube 2, and fixing the point in position by setting the tube end.
  • This point can be made of any suitable material, unlike eventually to that of the tube 2, e.g. a metal, or an extra-hard plastic, such as Delrin, reinforced with glass fibers.
  • the needle 2 can be eventually provided from a solid metal rod, with a middle rigidity, the rear-end 3 being then fitted with a recess in order to receive the corresponding end of the flexible tube 1.
  • a rod with a diameter of 4 mm can be machined easily on an automatic lathe for providing a bore with a diameter of 3.10 mm, and a depth of 10 to 20 mm, into which the end of a tube with a diameter of 3 mm can be introduced.
  • the device according to the invention is intended to be used every time when a flexible tube must be inserted through an unnatural duct into the body of a human being, or of an animal.
  • a particularly interesting application of the device consists in insering surgical drains for post-operative vacuum-treatment of sores.
  • the needle 1 is intended for being inserted into flesh to allow the tube to be introduced, but must be brought out again afterwards with the adjoining end of the tube. Then, this tube end is to be cut in order to loose the needle.
  • the tube can be connected then with a syringe, or with a perfusion device, when a liquid must be injected into a human or an animal body. Nevertheless, the tube can be also connected with a suction device for effecting any pre-operative or post-operative drainage.
  • said hollow end portion of said needle has an end edge of a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the remainder of the tube downstream of said end edge of said needle, and wherein said filling part is formed at the outer surface thereof with an annular groove substantially radially aligned with said end edge of said needle.
