Definitions

  • PROTECTIVE SLEEVE SEALING AND STRIPPING ELEMENT, CLOSURE CAP AND MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM
  • the present invention relates to a protective sleeve for an elongate medical device, in particular for a balloon catheter, for insertion into a vessel or organ of a living being and for removal therefrom, comprising an elongate sleeve body, which has a distal end and a proximal end and a continuous channel therebetween.
  • the present invention further relates to a sealing and stripping element as well as a closure cap for forming such a protective sleeve, and to a medical device system, which comprises such a protective sleeve.
  • introducers and protective sleeves for medical devices or components have long been known and used in a clinical environment.
  • protective sleeves are used to protect such a device during delivery and storage until its intended use
  • introducers enable or facilitate the insertion into a vessel or organ of a living body, for example the insertion of a balloon catheter into a blood vessel for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
  • PTCA percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
  • a protective sleeve used as a transport sleeve has to be removed from the device before said device is used as intended, that is to say normally before the device can be inserted into the vessel or organ by means of the introducer.
  • the object of the present invention is to disclose an improved protective sleeve of the above-mentioned type, which in particular further significantly reduces the exposure of the medical staff to coating material of a coating of the medical device.
  • the invention is based on the consideration of the inventors to prevent, where possible, the release of coating material of a device inserted into a body by means of an introducer, even after use of said device, that is to say once it has been removed from the body.
  • the invention further includes the consideration of achieving this by means of a protective sleeve, of which the intended effect is implemented when the device is removed from the body, specifically when it is withdrawn from an introducer.
  • the invention includes the concept of providing a sealing and stripping element adapted to the geometrical design of the medical device. This element is to be designed such that the device can pass through the sealing and stripping element when withdrawn from the bodily vessel or organ, without the operator having to exert excessive force.
  • the sealing and stripping element is formed as a resiliently expandable tube, of which the diameter in the starting state is smaller than the outer diameter of the medical device.
  • the originally rolled-up or folded-back second part of the tube lies tightly around the periphery of the device and thus largely prevents any coating material remaining on the device after use from reaching the surrounding environment.
  • a further embodiment of the invention functions similarly, in which the sealing and stripping element is formed as a resiliently expandable tube, of which the diameter in the starting state is smaller than the outer diameter of the medical device and which sits over a first part of its length on the protective sleeve and is rolled up or folded back over a second part at the proximal end.
  • the stripping effect is concentrated more or less over a narrow annular region (in the manner of a stripping edge).
  • the fastening on the actual protective sleeve can be detached in a manner similar to that in the embodiment mentioned further above, specifically since the sealing and stripping element has a resiliently expandable tube portion, of which the diameter in the starting state is smaller than the outer diameter of the proximal end of the protective sleeve in such a way that the sealing and stripping element can be slid onto the proximal end of the protective sleeve, where it is held in place by means of the resilient pressure of the tube portion.
  • a positive connection and/or integral bond may also be provided.
  • the sealing and stripping element is thus fastened on the protective sleeve using adhesive or by means of a welded connection.
  • tube clips or similar fastening means and/or ring/annular groove designs, etc. can be used, or the proximal end of the sleeve body may have obtained an increased coefficient of friction for the sealing and stripping element or its fastening portion as a result of a ribbing or similar structuring.
  • the tube or tube portion consists of silicone or a resilient thermoplastic elastomer. It is also possible for merely one resiliently deformable portion of the sealing and stripping element to consist of this material, whereas a further portion is fabricated from a substantially rigid plastics material. Besides the aforementioned resilient materials, other commercially available elastomers that are suitable for medical use (that is to say that can be sufficiently sterilized) can also be considered in principle for fabrication of the sealing and stripping element or a resilient ly deformable portion thereof.
  • the sealing and stripping element is formed integrally with the protective sleeve.
  • the sealing and stripping element forms an integrally connected portion of the protective sleeve in this embodiment, it can be fabricated from the above-mentioned materials and may have the features explained above, provided these do not conflict with an integral design.
  • the material for the sleeve body preferably a plastic, has to meet various demands. For example, it should preferably be weldable so as to ensure good processability. In addition, the material must be suitable for sterilization and/or disinfection using commercially available reagents and/or methods. Furthermore, the used material must have sufficient mechanical stability to protect the medical device effectively. HDPE is therefore preferably used for the sleeve body. However, polyamide or a polyamide block copolymer can also be used alternatively or in addition.
  • the protective sleeve according to the invention is designed as a disposable article for reasons of hygiene and practicability. However, it is also possible to re-use the protective sleeve after sterilization and disinfection with suitable selection of the material and form of said sleeve. If the sealing and stripping element is fabricated as a separate part and, for use, is connected to a sleeve body, likewise fabricated separately, both parts are preferably formed as disposable or single-use articles; it is also possible however to use a sealing and stripping element that is fabricated as a disposable article with a re-usable sleeve body.
  • the sealing and stripping element has a longitudinally continuous or spirally extending slit or a corresponding breaking point. If the sleeve body can also accordingly be formed separably, it is possible to remove the protective sleeve completely from the medical device (instrument) where necessary.
  • the inner surface of the main body of the sleeve body is provided with an anti-adhesive coating and/or with a coating lending sliding properties, which for example contains a compound from the group comprising PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and silicone.
  • the coating may cover the inner surface of the portion of the sealing and stripping element coming into contact with the medical device during the withdrawal process, although this is not necessarily the case.
  • An advantage of the coating lies in the fact that the medical device and/or its coating cannot adhere to the inner surface of the protective sleeve during storage and transport. Furthermore, when the medical device is inserted into the introducer, it can slide therein or therethrough in an improved manner. A coating, which may or may not be provided on the medical device, thus remains intact until use.
  • the protective sleeve is additionally provided with a closure cap, which is provided at the distal end, closes said sleeve and has coupling means for connection to a protective wire or guide wire of the medical device.
  • the closure cap can be removed by means of its fastening to the protective wire or guide wire when said wire is removed.
  • the closure cap has a circumferential edge, which is fitted over the protective sleeve and which is designed to be adapted to an expanded distal end portion of the protective sleeve, in such a way that the closure cap sits via the circumferential edge on the protective sleeve, but can be removed therefrom against a resilient resistance.
  • the closure cap is an additional feature, which may additionally be provided.
  • the objective of the closure cap is to prevent active ingredient from exiting at the distal end of the protective sleeve before the intervention and thus from possibly endangering medical staff or the patient.
  • the closure cap is connected to the protective sleeve in the delivered state, but such that the medical staff can detach the closure cap from the protective sleeve with little effort.
  • a wire could be connected to the closure cap. This wire would be slightly longer than the balloon region and would be introduced into the guide wire lumen. The closure cap (and wire if provided) would have to be removed by the medical staff before the intervention, that is to say before the device is inserted into the introducer.
  • the medical device is protected by the protective sleeve after having been coated.
  • the protective sleeve no longer has to be removed from the medical device by the user in order to handle the medical device. Instead, the protective sleeve itself is introduced in part into an introducer.
  • the medical device is inserted into the introducer either from the protective sleeve or through the protective sleeve. It is also removed again from the patient's body through the protective sleeve when used as intended.
  • the device that is to say a coated balloon catheter for example, is only subjected to a small extent to mechanical stresses such as friction or torsion.
  • the coating which for example contains a pharmaceutically active substance, is prevented in part from reaching the surrounding environment and from posing a possible health hazard to the clinical staff.
  • Fig. 2 shows an illustration of the protective sleeve according to figure 1 , introduced into the end of an introducer.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic longitudinal sectional illustration of the protective sleeve according to figures 1 and 2 with the distal end of a balloon catheter received therein
  • Figs. 4A and 4B show schematic diagrams of a further embodiment of the protective sleeve according to the invention
  • Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a modified embodiment of the protective sleeve illustrated in figures 4A and 4B,
  • Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a further embodiment of the protective sleeve according to the invention.
  • Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram (sectional view of the distal end) of an additional feature, which can be added to all previous exemplary embodiments of the protective sleeve according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a protective sleeve 1 for a coated balloon catheter (not shown here), said protective sleeve having a substantially hollow cylindrical sleeve body 3 with a distal end 3a and a proximal end 3b.
  • the stop element 5 defines full insertion of the protective sleeve into the introducer since its distal end face 5a contacts a proximal stop surface 1 lb of a lumen 11 of the introducer 9.
  • the outer diameter of the stop element 5 is accordingly selected to be adapted to the inner diameter of the lumen 11, on the one hand in the wider proximal portion thereof and on the other hand in the narrower distal portion thereof.
  • a longitudinal slit 13 in the sleeve body 3, which continues as a slit portion 13a in the sealing and stripping element 7, makes it possible to remove the protective sleeve 1 from the shaft of a balloon catheter guided to and retracted again from the treatment site in said protective sleeve.
  • a weakened line (breaking point) also extending in the longitudinal direction or else in a spiraled manner may also be provided in the wall of the sleeve body 3 and of the sealing and stripping element 7.
  • the sleeve body 3 has an expansion portion (cone) 15 and 17 at its distal and proximal end respectively, of which the proximal cone 17 facilitates the sliding of the protective sleeve onto the balloon catheter during the production process and the distal cone 15 facilitates the retraction of the balloon catheter through the protective sleeve after use.
  • Both functions can be envisaged on the basis of figure 3, which shows a balloon catheter 19 with a catheter body 21 and folded balloon 23 in the protective sleeve 1. This state is typical of the delivered state of the balloon catheter protected by the protective sleeve, and also of a typical end state after retraction of the balloon catheter into the protective sleeve after use.
  • the flexible sealing and stripping element 7 at the proximal end of the protective sleeve 1 is fabricated integrally with the protective sleeve in the embodiment shown in this instance, for example by being formed integrally with a smaller wall thickness than that of the sleeve body 3 and/or with a different (high-quality resilient) material.
  • this element seals the protective sleeve 1 at the proximal end thereof with respect to the balloon catheter 19 and prevents an unintended release of material from a coating of the balloon 23 and also acts as a resilient stripper when the balloon catheter 19 is retracted in a proximal direction.
  • FIGS 4A and 4B show schematic diagrams of a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, wherein reference numerals following those in figures 1 to 3 are used to denote like or functionally like parts or portions.
  • the protective sleeve illustrated in this instance differs from the embodiment according to figures 1 to 3 primarily in that an integrally formed sealing and stripping element is not provided, but rather a highly resilient silicone tube 7' drawn over the proximal portion of the sleeve body 3 and the proximal cone 7.
  • This tube sits on the proximal region of the sleeve body 3, secured against displacement by means of its shape-molding resilience and the pressure exerted thereby, and, with its overlying portion 7a', tightly surrounds the catheter body 21 of the balloon catheter 19 located in the protective sleeve in the usage position shown in figure 4A.
  • the inner wall of the overlying portion 7a' strips the catheter body and, for example, strips any coating material still present, such that the silicone tube 7' acts as a sealing and stripping element.
  • figure 4B shows how the overlaying portion 7a' in figure 4A is rolled back over the proximal cone 17 of the sleeve body 3, whereby, since there is no additional friction on the catheter during the introduction process, the balloon catheter can be easily fitted into the introducer without stripping any coating material from the balloon 23.
  • the sealing and stripping element can be positioned selectively over the shaft of the catheter by being rolled back as in figure 4A. Any coating residues present on the catheter are largely held in the protective sleeve by means of this stripping function, and release into the surrounding environment is reduced considerably.
  • Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the proximal end of a protective sleeve 1A', which is modified compared to the exemplary embodiment according to figures 4A and 4B and in which (with otherwise identical construction) the silicone tube 7' is bonded integrally to the sleeve body 3 close to the proximal cone 17 via an adhesive layer or welded connection 25.
  • Figure 6 likewise schematically shows the proximal end of a further protective sleeve IB', over which a silicone tube 7B', designed differently compared to the embodiments according to figures 4 A to 5, is drawn as a sealing and stripping element.
  • the part of said element overlying the proximal sleeve end with the cone 17 is shorter than in the above embodiments and surrounds the catheter body 21 of the balloon catheter located in the protective sleeve substantially merely by an (annular) sealing and stripping edge.
  • the diameter of the opening in this overlying portion can be easily adjusted by displacing the tube 7B' on the sleeve body, so that, for example as a result of displacement in a distal direction and a resultant enlargement of the opening, the balloon catheter can be inserted into the introducer without being stripped, whereas, if the balloon catheter is moved back in the proximal direction, a sealing and stripping effect is implemented as the catheter tube is retracted from the treatment site.
  • an integral bond between the silicone tube and the sleeve body may also be provided additionally in this case.
  • figure 7 shows, again in the form of a schematic diagram, a supplement to the above-described concept, which can be implemented in principle in all the above exemplary embodiments.
  • the protective sleeve shown in figure 7 is therefore denoted by reference numeral 1 , but could also be denoted by numeral , 1A' or IB'.
  • a protective wire or guide wire 25 is also illustrated in this instance, which is normally used with use of a balloon catheter.
  • a closure cap 27 is slid over the distal end and over the cone 15 of the protective sleeve 1 provided there. This cap is connected or connectable to the protective wire or guide wire 25 at a connection point 27a and is therefore displaceable therewith.
  • the closure cap 27 is held securely (although removably) on the protective sleeve by means of a circumferential edge 27b that is fitted over the cone 15 of the sleeve body 3. In specific phases of use, it prevents the undesired exit, beyond the protective sleeve 1, of coating material from the surface of the balloon 23.
