Definitions
- This invention relates to a new and improved surgical endoclip adapted to be used with either the well known U.S. Surgical Corporation type applier which has achieved widespread use and sometimes is known by the trademark Auto Suture or a modification thereof.
- Surgical endoclips are metal devices used to occlude ducts or vessels during surgical procedures. When two clips are applied to a duct or vessel the duct can be severed between them, and if the clips are properly applied and secured, leakage of fluid, such as blood or bile is prevented. Ultimately, the structure occluded by the clip is permanently stenosed and sealed by normal healing processes.
- the device used to apply an endoclip can be used for both open and closed, laparoscopic, surgical procedures.
- Prior endoclips made of titanium, are generally U- shaped with the legs squeezed together,to seal a vessel. Such clips have a tendency to come off the ducts or vessels to which they have been applied, in part, because the legs may tend to spread apart. Clips have been observed coming off along the transverse axis along which they had been applied as they were being placed and immediately after they had been placed. Such clips also can work themselves off in the severed end of the duct or vessel along the long axis. In either case, the vessel lumen would cease to be effectively occluded, and bile or blood would be free to leak into in postoperative patients which has sometimes led to surgical re- exploration, transfusion therapy and other untoward complications.
- U.S. Surgical Corporation has been very successful in promoting its Auto Suture Disposable Clip Applier.
- This applier is the subject of several United States Patents, for instance, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,242,902 and 4,616,650. These patents illustrate that the surgical clips are fed in a cartridge-like fashion between two jaws 103 (Figs. 14-19 of U.S. Patent 4,616,650), and the patents illustrate the operation of the U.S. Surgical Clip applier and the cartridge fashion in which such clips are supplied.
- U.S. Patent 4,834,096 discloses a plastic ligating clip which uses a special manual instrument to close the plastic clip and stop the flow of fluid.
- the subject of the '096 patent is directed to a plastic clip which, in part, is to eliminate metal clips which are objectionable for the reasons set forth in the *096 patent.
- the *096 clip closes completely around the vessel to which it is secured.
- the '096 patent presents a special instrument to apply the plastic clip, and the plastic clip is unable to be used with the U.S. Surgical Auto Suture.
- An object of this invention is to provide a surgical clip which may be used with widely accepted types of surgical clip appliers, such that the clips are supplied in a cartridge form to be applied one after another by the surgical clip applier.
- Another object of this invention is to provide such a surgical clip which circumferentially surrounds the duct to be closed in a more effective and efficient fashion than prior clips so as to prevent the slippage of such improved endoclips from the duct.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide such an improved surgical clip which will find ready acceptance in the medical field, may be easily utilized with existing technology and provide enhanced benefits.
- Another object of this invention is to provide such a surgical endoclip with nubbins formed on a holding surface thereof to further hold the clip on the duct being occluded when the clip is closed.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to positively secure the ends of titanium surgical clips together to ensure the clip's attachment to a vessel.
- a metallic endoclip which is formed of a thin metallic unitary member generally of an elliptical cross section.
- the endoclip has a base which terminates at one end in an upwardly and rearwardly extending section which itself terminates in a lower free-end.
- the endoclip also has an upper forwardly extending arm terminating in an upper free-end which is spaced rearwardly from said lower free- end.
- the base and upper arm are connected by an upwardly extending section bent forwardly toward the free-ends of the endoclip.
- the upper free-end moves forwardly until it is captured by the bend formed by the rearwardly extending section and is trapped there as the upper arm and lower base move together to circumferentially surround the vessel.
- the positive lock formed by the rearwardly extending section bearing against the upper free-end ensures that the surgical clip can not open while in place on the vessel.
- a nubbin is provided upon the inner surface of the base in order to further ensure the attachment of the clip to the vessel, and the nubbin may also be shaped to puncture the vessel as the clip is applied to the vessel.
- the free end of the upper arm cooperates with a grove formed in the upper surface of the base to fit therewithin and be prevented from lateral movement as the clip is closed.

- Fig. 1 is an end view of the endoclip of this invention, generally designated with numeral 10.
- the endoclip is formed of a thin metallic unitary member generally of an elliptical cross section. Because of its bio-compatability, Titanium is the preferred metal.
- the endoclip 10 has a lower straight base 12 which terminates at one end 14 in an upwardly and rearwardly extending section 16, which itself terminates in a lower free-end 18.
- a corner 20 is formed where section 16 turns rearwardly.
- the endoclip 10 has an upper forwardly extending arm 22 terminating in an upper free-end 24 which is spaced rearwardly from said lower free-end 18.
- the base 12 and upper arm 22 are connected by an upwardly and forwardly extending section 26.
- a nubbin 28 is formed on the inner surface 30 of base 12.
- Fig. 1 Specific angles and radii are shown in Fig. 1 for the endoclip.
- Fig. 5 shows the same endoclip having the same form, radii and angles as depicted in Fig. 1, but without the nubbin.
- Sectional views 2, 3 and 4 taken along lines 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4 illustrate the preferred shapes of the cross-sections of the specific section identified of the endoclip.
- the endoclip 10 has substantially uniform elliptical cross section 32 illustrated in Fig. 2-2 which is formed for most of the endoclip, with the forward end 34 of the base 12, the corner 20 and rearwardly extending section 16 having a smaller elliptical cross section as illustrated in Fig. 3.
- This enables the corner portion of the clip when fully closed to have a substantially uniform cross section, since the thickness of corner portion is smaller than the cross section for the remaining portion of the clip as illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the nubbin 28 is provided with a pointed upper surface 36 adapted to pierce the vessel to which the endoclip is attached to further secure the endoclip to the vessel.
- this invention is intended to be used with a device similar to that of the Auto Suture sold by U.S. Surgical.
- jaws 103 move in parallel planes towards each other, and such Auto Suture or a modified version thereof is intended to be used with the endoclip of this invention.
- Fig. 5 is a view of the Endoclip of this invention without nubbin 28.
- the same numerals apply for the same parts, and the radii and angles are the same as for Fig. 1.
- FIGs. 6 - 10 illustrate the endoclip in successive stages of deformation as it is applied to occlude a vessel 40.
- the parallel jaws 41-42 exert inwardly directed forces against the base 12 and upper arm 22, the upper arm is displaced downwardly toward the base and the upper free-end 24 moves downwardly until it abuts the inner surface 30 of the base 12.
- the upper free-end 24 moves outwardly until it is captured by corner 20 and is trapped there.
- the upper free-end 24 is locked into the corner 20 and is positively held there by lower free-end 18.
- Fig. 10 illustrates the final shape of the deformed endoclip 10 gripping the duct or vessel 40.
- the new endoclip 10 of this invention would initially be placed across the transverse axis of the duct 40, and it will be squeezed down in such a way that the clip 10 will end up surrounding and squeezing the duct while the ends of the clip are held together.
- the inward nubbin 18 on one or both arms of the clip 10 provide significant resistance to movement of the clip along the long axis of the duct.
- Figs. 11 and 12 present yet another embodiment of this invention in which lateral movement between upper free end 24 and the base 12 is restrained by forming a groove 50 in upper portion 30 of the base and a Vee 52 on the upper free end 24 so that Vee 52 fits into groove 50 as the upper arm 22 moves downward and is captured in the corner 20. Lateral movement between the ends of the clip is thus restrained and the upper arm 22 is aligned with base 12 further ensuring the circumferential secure closing of the clip.
- the new endoclip 10 would incorporate three novel elements:
