  • connection should be adequately resistant to agents, or materials to be applied for at least one-time use.
  • the assembly should maintain its integrity in use. Depending on the pressures and forces to be applied, this may be as simple as a tapered friction-fit, such as a Luer taper or other taper, or a simple snap-fit ball-and-socket joint ("ball joint").
  • connection types are possible, as is illustrated in the Figure, where all joints have a snap-fit ball joint capability, and all male ball halves also have female friction fit capability. Some female ball sections also carry male taper fit connectors, which provides rigidity at the joint.
  • Friction- type connectors may also be glued together, where disassembly is not required or not contemplated.
  • Snap-fit ball joints may be further secured by known means, such as retaining rings or clips, and clips and other restraining means may be used to secure friction joints. Threaded connections may be used, in particular in combination with ferrules and gaskets.

In one embodiment of the invention, the kits and devices are provided in a sterilized condition. Although illustrated as having a single flow path, a system of the invention may have multiple fluid flow paths, which may also diverge or merge in passing through the device.
  • a pair of devices consisting of flow orifices, cannula sections and adapter sections, can be linked together by a common fluid mixing element 74.

  • Mixing element 74 also has a distal female Luer taper 82 including an opening in fluid communication with hollow interior 80, and is removably attachable to the proximal end of an applicator, as previously described.
  • Applicator section The particular form of the applicator section (“applicator") will depend on the fluid to be applied and the way in which it is to be distributed on the tissue. Any known fluid- dispensing means may be used in the invention, provided that it is compatible with the fluid to be used; configured so that the operator (typically a physician) can properly apply the fluid to the appropriate site in the patient; optionally capable of fitting through a trocar cannula or similar opening; and sterilizable as described above.
  • Examples of types of applicators are: open tubes, straight-cut or beveled, for dripping or other direct dispensation; brushes, with an opening in the proximal end for fluid to enter the brush and/or flow through the brush to the tissue surface; rollers, paddles, pads, and similar devices, optionally with a proximal opening for fluid, to smooth or re-arrange a fluid on a surface, especially a viscous fluid; nozzles for producing divided streams of fluid, or sprays; molding members, into which fluid may be injected so that it forms a definite shape after injection into the body, and after curing if desired; and expandable applicators which receive fluid and then can be expanded to apply fluid to a surface. At least one of these applicator types, or a functional equivalent, will normally be present in the devices of the invention 3.
  • Adapter sections will normally be present in the devices of the invention 3.
  • Adapter sections may provide any of a variety of functions. In the simplest form, they simply connect two other sections which have different styles of connection. They may provide an articulation function; an example is illustrated in Fig. 1. A variety of other types may be needed, such as male-male or female-female adapters. Adapters may also perform a flow-related function. In Fig. 1, the leftmost adapter is designed to have a limiting orifice, so that the pressure drop in the distal (right) apparatus is limited at a particular flow rate. This is important in a pressure-fit system.
  • Other functions in an adapter section can include mixing of fluid streams, ratioing of fluid streams, and valving functions. The latter can include one-way valves, and pressure-release valves, if required for the particular fluid applications. OTHER SYSTEM FEATURES
  • the basic system may optionally have any of a number of ancillary features to enhance its utility or safety. These include radio-opacity, for visibility under fluoroscopy, or to assist in retrieval if required; color-coding to guide selection of correct sections or of correct entire devices; controlled flexibility, via ball joints, flexible or bendable tubing, or other means; non- magnetic for use in MRI systems; intraoperatively removable applicators, for complex applications or in case of plugging; and provision for passage of optical fibers or other emitters of radiation, or sensors of conditions at the application site, through the lumen of the device.
  • Modules may be made by any convenient method. Preferred methods will be conducive to efficiency and cost-effectiveness, but the presence of more expensively- manufactured components in an assembled surgical device, especially in a prototype or short run device, is compatible with the objectives of the invention. 1. Machining. Initial prototypes of many system components, especially adapters and applicators, will be made by machining, either from partially precast blanks or from raw materials such as plastic or metal.
  • injection or pressure molding At higher volumes, most system components will be made by injection molding to final tolerance. In some cases, such as orifice-carrying adapters, the orifice may be drilled into a blank septum, since the drilling operation is simple.

  • the preferred method of making such cannulae is to render the tubing ends capable of retaining a molded connector, and to provide a premolded connector part for each end.
  • a mold for forming the connector is provided, and the tubing end is inserted into the molding apparatus.
  • a shut-off block may be provided in the mold to prevent flow of the molded material, typically a thermoplastic or fhermosetting plastic, into the lumen of the cannula.

  • This may be provided by holes or slots in the tubing; by roughening or knurling of the tubing; by provision of a ferrule swaged to the tube; or by other conventional means known in the art.
  • a preformed connector is slid or pressed onto a tube end, and the end of the tubing is then flared to retain the connector. This method typically requires a gasket for fluid retention.
  • the preformed cannulas can be formed into standardized bent shapes if required. This can be done with a mandrel or other known tube-bending device. The bending may be done before assembly of the connectors with the tubing, but is preferably performed later. Cannulas can be provided in a variety of stock lengths, such as integral numbers of centimeters or inches. FLUIDS TO BE DELIVERED
  • Any fluid may be delivered by the surgical devices of the invention.
  • Preferred fluids are those which require a significant degree of control on application to the site, such as fluids containing drugs, or air flows used to clean or compress specific tissue areas (as opposed to, for example, irrigating fluids).

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un système modulaire conçu pour la fabrication, à partir de composants modulaires, d'applicateurs de fluides destinés à la chirurgie ouverte ou endoscopique. Différentes longueurs de tubes, ainsi que des dispositifs destinés à être portés par ces tubes, sont préalablement équipés avec des adaptateurs normalisés de manière à pouvoir s'accoupler les uns aux autres, ce qui permet la formation de sections de cathéters et d'applicateurs. Des interconnecteurs peuvent également être utilisés, notamment pour permettre la formation d'articulations. Il est ensuite possible d'assembler un dispositif en sélectionnant un ensemble approprié de longueurs de tubes, d'adaptateurs et d'applicateurs. Il est possible de créer à moindre frais des dispositifs personnalisables destinés à des utilisations particulières. Un tel système convient particulièrement à l'administration de fluides à des tissus au cours d'interventions chirurgicales endoscopiques ou avec effraction minimale. Une application préférée de ces dispositifs consiste en l'administration, sur un site tissulaire, de fluides permettant la formation d'une structure, tel qu'un hydrogel.
