Description

缝合器、具有缝合器的治疗装置以及治疗系统 技术领域
本发明涉及一种治疗装置,尤其涉及一种缝合器、具有缝合器的治疗装置以及治疗系统。
背景技术
随着科技的进步,手术已经从传统的开创手术,微创手术向无创手术发展。无创手术通过人体自然腔道(譬如人的食管、直肠、子宫等)进入手术区,没有外部创口,出血少,不仅减少病人生理和心理创伤,也减轻麻醉深度,大大降低麻醉带来的风险。无创手术能够有效减少术后并发症,更有利于风险较大的患者。
由于无创手术是近几年才开始成熟,对应配套的设备较为稀缺。特别是在体内手术后,如需要进行体内伤口组织缝合,现有大多数医疗设备无法做到。美国专利号US 7344545公开了一种用于外科手术的内窥镜缝合系统,在体外操作,于体内缝合,从而达到治疗的目的。此缝合系统包括具有第一和第二臂的组件和针回收构件,针回收构件需要与弯针臂刚性对准。组织抓持臂和针回收构件的布置使得系统体积庞大,从而使其难以在内窥镜手术中实际应用。
阿波罗体内手术公司也公开了一种内窥镜缝合系统。可以配合内窥镜或其他可转向引导的装置通过人体自然腔道,将缝合器装置插入身体内。该系统结构复杂,设备零件众多,制作复杂,成本高昂。该系统在使用时,需要同时占用3个钳道,由于体内手术最多只有3个钳道,因此操作过程中需要在一个钳道中交换操作装置(将原先占用一个钳道的装置取出再插入新的装置),缝合步骤繁琐。
特别地,阿波罗体内手术公司提供的缝合装置在体内进行伤口组织缝合时,需要搭配专门的旋钻勾取装置穿刺组织后将组织勾起,然后缝合针才能够穿透组织进行缝合操作。每一圈缝合都需要进行这个操作。这个穿刺动作大大增加了手术风险,因为在体外很难准确判断体内的穿刺深度。当这个手术是缩胃手术时,这个旋钻勾取装置将有可能造成腔外组织的损伤,大大增加了患者的手术风险。
并且,阿波罗体内手术公司提供的缝合装置在缝合完成后,无法在不借助其他装置的情况下实现缝合线的打结操作。因此,该缝合装置在进行缝合线的 打结时,必须搭配专门的线结器。在实际操作中,将原先占用一个钳道的装置取出,然后使用装置插入钳道将线结器送入体内,之后切割缝合线,直接将线结器遗留在手术患者的体内。打结操作不仅麻烦,且将非人体的硬性物体遗留在人体内,易造成术后风险。
另外,现有的软式内窥镜下的创口闭合、组织缝合以及消化道支架的固定,所面临的问题还分别有:有些器械的尺寸偏大、材质不适宜,极易损伤消化道粘膜;有些器械,一个动作分解为多个步骤操作、人工使用多个部件完成、多次交换辅助器械导致动作频繁、差错可能,有些部件还需退镜才能替换,退镜之后又得二次进镜更致操作重复与损伤可能加倍,且手术过程延长;固定夹尺寸非无级可变(仅单一几个尺寸),过多夹齿即过多损伤组织,非钳道置入的固定夹又难以不遮挡内窥镜视野;夹闭时有创缘撕裂,尤其是纤维化组织或瘢痕组织难以闭合,固定的夹闭方式也时致组织对合不佳或闭合过紧;缝合范围(大创面或小创面)或缝合深度(全层或分层)极难普适或随机调适;夹的过浅易脱落、过深易穿孔,腹部用力还需防硬物损伤;过度、过深夹闭(极难准确客观掌控深度),有可能损伤或闭合腔外器官;软性内窥镜无支撑(不像硬性的腹腔镜有支撑)难以直接打结,打结张力不易随机掌控;术后,肉芽组织过多增生,或闭合不全、术后漏;术后再出血或缺血坏死,以致二次手术(甚至开腹);部件繁多、装配耗时,成本昂贵。

根据本发明的一实施例,治疗装置还包括连接环,连接环套设于内窥镜上。
根据本发明的一实施例,治疗装置还包括圈套环,圈套环在内窥镜的先端处进行组织的切割动作。
根据本发明的一实施例,治疗装置还包括钩钳器,钩钳器在内窥镜的先端处进行组织的钳取动作或者缝合线的勾拉动作。
于另一方面,本发明还提供一种缝合器的使用方法,包括如下步骤:
操作进针组件,使得缝合针和进针组件一起向前行进,此时缝合针的尖端从主壳体中露出,行进一段行程后回到主壳体内;
操作进针组件,使得进针组件向后移动直到卡合于缝合针,此时卡合的位置靠近缝合针的尖端,缝合针在防退针组件的作用下不动;
操作进针组件,使得缝合针和进针组件一起向前行进,直到缝合针的尖端准备从主壳体中露出;
操作进针组件,使得防退针组件向后移动直到卡合于缝合针,此时卡合的位置靠近缝合针带有缝合线的一端,缝合针在防退针组件的作用下不动;
重复上述四个步骤从而进行目标缝合组织(比如伤口组织等)的缝合或者缝线的打结操作。
根据本发明的一实施例,进针组件包括第一拉绳和第二拉绳,上述四个步骤分别对应为拉动第一拉绳、拉动第二拉绳、拉动第一拉绳以及拉动第二拉绳。
根据本发明的一实施例,操作进针组件的动作是通过操作操作手柄来完成。
根据本发明的一实施例,在操作进针组件之前,还包括用圈套环在内窥镜的先端对组织进行圈割。
根据本发明的一实施例,在上述所有步骤完成之后,还包括用钩钳器在内窥镜的先端对钳住缝合线的两端从而完成缝合线的打结动作。
综上所述,本发明的缝合器、治疗装置和治疗系统可用于自然腔道手术(无创手术)、微创手术或开创手术。其结构简单,制作成本低,仅需通过进针组件即可控制缝合针的前进,从而在软组织中进行间断缝合或连续缝合,操作简单,大幅度降低手术失败风险。另外,本发明的缝合器还包括防退针组件,使得缝合针的连续前进实现可能。特别地,本发明的进针组件和防退针组件与缝合针都是可分离的卡合关系,因此通过简单的结构即可实现复杂的功能(例如目标缝合组织的缝合与缝合线的打结),缝合器占用体积小,制作成本低。现有技术中如果需要体外操作体内组织的缝合,必须全程配套采用旋钻勾取装置才能实现缝合功能,并且现有的旋钻勾取装置是直接对组织进行旋钻勾住然后拉起,本发明的缝合器在缝合的过程当中无需采用旋钻勾取装置,即可独立实现缝合功能,避免了旋钻勾取装置对组织的损伤,大大降低了手术风险。
另外,于一实施例中,进针组件可包括两根拉绳,分别控制两根拉绳来控制进针组件不同方向的移动,操作简单明了,大幅度降低手术失败风险。于一实施例中,本发明的治疗装置和治疗系统还可包括圈套环和钩钳器,搭配缝合 器一起,能够实现组织的切割、缝合、打结等多样功能。于一实施例中,本发明的治疗装置和治疗系统还可包括连接环,当使用外置钳道管时,连接环可将外置钳道管和内窥镜固定在一起,并且沿着内窥镜的软管进行多点分布,从而分散受力。现有的阿波罗体内手术公司的治疗装置,仅先端和操作端进行固定,极易造成内窥镜被动弯曲。
特别地,本发明提供的缝合器、治疗装置和治疗系统在目标缝合组织缝合完毕后,可按接近开创手术打结习惯的操作进行打结。一直以来,在体内进行打结操作是个大难题,因为在体外向体内施加的力只能是往上的,这样目标缝合组织会被拉动,如果力度太大,会对组织造成损伤,力度太小,则打的结不紧,如果组织发生运动,很可能线结松散,需重新缝合。本发明提供的缝合器、治疗装置和治疗系统在进行打结时,是与缝合进行类似的简捷操作,由缝合针引导缝合线构成“结”,最后通过钩钳器将两端缝合线拉紧,打结时施加的力是水平或接近水平的。这样线结松紧适度、创面对合准确,且使得操作简单、手术难度降低,不遗留任何夹具在人体内,克服了现有技术中打结难的难题。可适用于不同范围创面或组织的闭合与缝合、可择需选择分层或全层缝合。
为让本发明的上述和其它目的、特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举较佳实施例,并配合附图,作详细说明如下。

具体实施方式
本发明提供一种缝合器、与缝合器相配合的操作手柄、由缝合器与操作手柄组成的治疗装置、由治疗装置和与其相配合的内窥镜组成的治疗系统。缝合器可以用来在哺乳动物的组织上进行体内缝合,无论对象是否是人并且无论被缝合对象是否是活的。本发明提供的缝合器不仅可与内窥镜配合使用,还可以配合其他能够实现转向引导的装置进行使用。
如图1A和图1B所示,本发明提供一种缝合器1,用于刺穿和缝合组织以在身体内进行外科手术。缝合器1包括主壳体11、进针组件12、缝合针13、防退针组件14。
于本实施例中,如图2A-图2C所示,主壳体11包括第一壳体111和第二壳体112。当本实施例的缝合器是配合单钳道的内窥镜使用时,第一壳体111的中间可具有两个通道1111,1112,第一通道1111可套设于内窥镜的先端,第二通道1112可供外置钳道管通过以固定外置钳道管。然而,本发明对此不作任何限定。当缝合器配合双钳道的内窥镜使用时,第一壳体可仅具有一个通道,使缝 合器能够套设于内窥镜的先端。于另一实施例中,第一壳体也可不具有通道,而是通过其他结构,例如固定带,从而使缝合器固定在内窥镜的先端。
本发明对第一壳体111和第二壳体112的形状不作任何限定。优选地,本实施的第一壳体111和第二壳体112的外表面均为平滑表面,不具有棱角。通过这样设置,使得缝合器尽可能不影响内窥镜的先端的视野,先端方便体内进行缝合操作,也减少对体内组织的触碰造成的损伤。另外,外表面为弧形,也避免在操作时壳体的棱边对体内组织造成损伤。
于本实施例中,第一壳体111具有连接槽1113,第二壳体112具有连接凸起1123,连接凸起1123的形状和尺寸与连接槽1113的形状和尺寸相匹配。连接凸起1123插入到连接槽1113内以使第二壳体112和第一壳体111连接在一起。于本实施例中,连接槽1113的形状为弧形,通过这样设置,使得缝合器的主壳体11能够尽可能地贴近内窥镜的先端,不会有凸起的结构从而影响内窥镜先端的视野。然而,本发明对此不作任何限定。于其他实施例中,连接槽可为其他形状,只要实现第一壳体111和第二壳体112之间的连接关系即可。于其他实施例中,可第二壳体具有连接槽,第一壳体具有连接凸起。
于本实施例中,为了使第一壳体111和第二壳体112连接牢固,可采用激光焊接的方式将连接槽1113和连接凸起1123连接后形成的连接缝焊接在一起。本发明对第一壳体111和第二壳体112的固定方式不作任何限定。于另一实施例中,主壳体可不分为第一壳体111和第二壳体112两个部分,主壳体可通过一体成型的方式形成。将主壳体56分为两个部分进行制作,使得每个构件制作更加简单,容易标准化,降低生产成本。
于本实施例中,第二壳体112具有第一滑槽1121和第二滑槽1122,第一滑槽1121和第二滑槽1122分别位于第二壳体112的主体部分的两侧。
于本实施例中,如图3A-图3C所示,进针组件12设置于主壳体11上且和缝合针13形成可分离的卡合关系以控制缝合针13的前进,从而进行目标缝合组织(比如伤口组织等)的缝合操作或者缝线的打结操作。于本实施例中,进针组件12包括第一拉绳121、第二拉绳122、上壳123、弹簧124、进针齿125以及滑块126。
于本实施例中,进针组件12包括两根拉绳,分别为第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122。控制两根拉绳来控制进针组件不同方向的移动,操作简单易懂,大幅度降低手术失败风险。然而,本发明对此不作限定,于其它实施例中,进针组件12可仅具有一根拉绳,通过一根拉绳的收和拉来实现对缝合针前进的控制。在 这种情况下,进针组件的其他结构对应地进行改变,例如通过齿轮滑动或连杆转动的形式使得一根拉绳即可实现双向的控制。于另一实施例中,进针组件12也可不采用拉绳,通过其他结构的替代方式实现对缝合针的控制。
于本实施例中,第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的一端分别具有挡块1211,1221。于实际应用中,挡块1211,1221可为绳结,也可为专门制作的塑料块。本发明对挡块的形式和材料不做任何限定,只要挡块的直径大于第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的绳体部分的直径即可。于其它实施例中,第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122也可不具有挡块,第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的一端可通过黏合的方式固定在滑块126上。
于本实施例中,上壳123具有两个穿孔1231和两个上固定孔1232。穿孔1231供第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的绳体部分穿过,上固定孔1232供固定件(例如螺丝)穿过从而将上壳123固定于主壳体11的第二壳体112上。优选地,上壳123还具有两个延伸部1233。当上壳123盖合在第二壳体112的第二滑槽1122上时,延伸部1233正好包裹住侧面,从而减少元件和元件组装后形成的缝隙或者棱角对体内组织可能造成的损伤。然而,本发明对上壳123的具体形状不作任何限定。
于本实施例中,进针齿125包括齿部1251和抵挡件1252。齿部1251的顶端为斜面,可以卡合于缝合针13的卡槽上(在下文具体阐述)。弹簧124的一端抵靠在抵挡件1252上,另一端抵靠在上壳123上。
于本实施例中,滑块126具有两个侧孔1261和一个中间孔1262。两个侧孔1261可以供第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的绳体部分穿过,但是卡住第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的挡块1211,1221,即挡块1211,1221的外径大于侧孔1261的内径。中间孔1262可以供进针齿125的齿部1251穿过,但是进针齿125的抵挡件1252无法穿过中间孔1262。
于实际使用中,第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122分别穿过滑块126的侧孔1261,再穿过上壳123的穿孔1231。进针齿125安装于滑块126的中间孔1262内,弹簧124的一端抵靠在进针齿125的表面。进针齿125、滑块126以及弹簧124一起安装于第二壳体112的第二滑槽1122内且可在第二滑槽1122内滑动,上壳123盖合于第二滑槽1122上。第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122的一端固定于滑块126上,另一端固定于操作手柄上,进针齿125穿入滑块126。当拉动拉绳时,进针齿125的齿部一端卡住缝合针上的卡槽,再带动缝合针往前运动,从而进针、拔针、穿线,循环往复。
于本实施例中,如图4A-图4C所示,缝合线131可固定或可拆卸地固定于缝合针13的一端,缝合针13的另外一端为尖端,可刺穿组织。于本实施例中,缝合针13的一侧具有四个卡槽132,另一侧具有三个卡槽132。通过这样的设置,可以实现进针齿60°和120°的进针,使得缝合针13前进的行程控制更加灵活。如果只需要控制缝合针180°的进针,则无需设置这么多个卡槽。于本实施例中,为了防止缝合针的厚度变薄,两侧的卡槽是错位设置,即并不是在同一个地方的两侧完全对应地设置卡槽。通过这样的设置,缝合针不容易被弯曲变形或者折断。然而,本发明对此不作任何限定。
进针齿125的齿部1251可分离地卡合于缝合针13的卡槽132中。本发明对卡槽132的数量不作任何限定。于本实施例中,每个卡槽132为非对称结构,一侧为倾角较大的斜面a,起阻挡作用,另一侧为倾角较小的斜面b,该斜面b和齿部1251的顶端的斜面相匹配。齿部1251的顶端为倾斜设置,齿部1251在拉绳的作用力下能够经过斜面b滑出卡槽132,从而解除进针齿125与缝合针13的卡合关系。于本实施例中,每个卡槽132的斜面a与缝合针13的一个侧面c的夹角为60°-90°,另一侧斜面b与缝合针13的侧面c的夹角为10°-45°。然而,本发明对倾角具体的度数不作任何限定。于本实施例中,斜面b并不是平面,而是弧形面,更加利于齿部1251的顶端滑出卡槽132从而解除进针齿125和卡槽132之间的卡合关系。
本实施例的缝合针13是带线缝合针。具体而言,缝合针13的尾部具有圆锥凹陷,缝合线131的一端塞入该圆锥凹陷中,然后对缝合针13的尾端进行挤压,从而将缝合线131固定在缝合针13的尾端。然而,本发明对此不作任何限定。于其他实施例中,缝合线可通过其它方式,比如传统穿针的方式可拆卸地固定于缝合针的一端。于本实施例中,缝合针13可采用不锈钢制作,缝合针13的横切面的直径可为8mm、10mm、12mm等,然而本发明对此不作限定,可根据实际治疗需求选用适当尺寸的缝合针。于本实施例中,缝合线131的长度为30cm-60cm,缝合线131可以采用聚丙烯线、尼龙线等等,本发明对缝合线的长度和材质也不作任何限定。于其他实施例中,可以采用生物可吸收性缝合线,这样可以不用拆线,减少患者二次手术的风险。
于本实施例中,如图5A-图5C所示,防退针组件14设置于主壳体11上且和缝合针13形成可分离的卡合关系从而防止缝合针13的后退。进针组件12和防退针组件14分别位于缝合针13的两侧。
于本实施例中,防退针组件14包括下壳141、防退针齿142、以及弹片143。下壳141具有两个定位孔1411和两个下固定孔1412,两个防退针齿142分别安装于两个定位孔1411内,下固定孔1412供固定件(例如螺丝)穿过从而将下壳141固定于主壳体11的第二壳体112上。弹片143上也具有固定孔,供固定件(例如螺丝)穿过从而将弹片143固定于主壳体11的第二壳体112上。于实际组装中,缝合针13先安置于第二壳体112的第一滑槽1121中,之后将装有防退针齿142的下壳141盖合到第一滑槽1121上,之后将弹片143和第二壳体112固定。
防退针齿142的顶端可以卡合于缝合针13的卡槽132上。于本实施例中,两个防退针齿142的顶端设置为斜面。该斜面和卡槽132的斜面b的倾斜角度相匹配,从而使得防退针齿142在拉绳的作用力下能够经过斜面b滑出卡槽132。具体而言,进针齿125和防退针齿142分别位于缝合针13的两侧,且分别可分离地卡合于缝合针13的卡槽132上。本文中可分离地卡合指的是卡合关系可以形成也可以解除。进针齿125和防退针齿142与缝合针都是可分离的卡合关系,因此通过简单的结构即可实现复杂的功能(例如目标缝合组织的缝合与缝合线的打结),缝合器占用体积小,制作成本低。本发明对进针齿125和防退针齿142的顶端形状不做任何限定。于其他实施例中,进针齿125和防退针齿142的顶端也可为便于滑动的弧形。只要能够和缝合针形成卡合关系并能够解除卡合关系的相互配合结构,都能够实现本发明的功能,也在本发明想要保护的范围内。
于本实施例中,弹片143依靠自身的弹力对防退针齿142施加弹性压力,既能够使得防退针齿142在外力作用下能够从卡槽132中滑出,又可以通过弹力压住防退针齿142使其卡合于卡槽132内。
为了更清楚地阐述本发明实施例提供的缝合器如何进行目标缝合组织的缝合动作,以下结合图6A-图6D进行说明。图6A-图6D中每幅图的左边(a)和右边(b)为俯视和仰视的关系。为了清楚地表明内部零件的位置,附图中没有画出全部元件。以下描述中提及的“背面”是从图6A-图6D中左边(a)的视角而言,例如将(a)中上面定义为正面,下面成为背面,由于(a)和(b)是类似于镜像的关系,所以背面在(b)中显示的是在上面。
图6A所示为起始状态时缝合器中进针齿、缝合针和防退针齿的位置,于初始状态时,进针组件12的进针齿125卡合于缝合针13的一个卡槽132内,该卡合位置是位于缝合针13的尾端,即靠近缝合线的一端。防退针组件14的其中一个防退针齿142(如图6A中(b)所示的位于右侧的那个防退针齿142)卡 合于缝合针13背面的其中一个卡槽132内,该卡合位置是位于缝合针13的顶端,即靠近缝合针尖端的一端。此时,拉动第一拉绳121,由于进针齿125卡合在缝合针13的卡槽132内,且力的方向是使进针齿125的顶端抵靠在卡槽132倾角较大的一侧。在外力的作用下,拉绳121拉动进针齿125,从而带动整个缝合针13如图6A中(a)所示的顺时针方向向前行进。防退针齿142相对于缝合针13的运行方向是逆时针(实际是防退针齿142没动,但是缝合针13在顺时针移动),防退针齿142可以经过卡槽132的斜面滑出卡槽,不会对缝合针13的行进造成任何阻碍。在这个过程中,缝合针13尖端从主壳体11中露出,接着刺穿需要缝合的组织,带动缝合线穿过目标缝合组织,之后行进半圈后,缝合针13的尖端回到主壳体11的第一滑槽1121内。
此时,各零件的位置如图6B所示,由于进针齿125已经滑到第二滑槽1122的端头,无法继续前进,第一拉绳121也就无法继续拉动。对于进针齿125来讲,通过第一拉绳121施加的力和通过第二拉绳122施加的力是相反方向的。使用者随后拉动第二拉绳122,进针齿125将经过卡槽132的斜面滑出卡槽132,之后沿如图6B中(a)所示的逆时针方向后退,直到回到最开始的位置。在这个过程中,另一个防退针齿142(如图6B中(b)所示的位于左侧的那个防退针齿142)卡在缝合针13背面的一个卡槽132中,由于是防退针齿142的顶端抵靠在卡槽132倾角较大的一侧,防退针齿142不会和卡槽132解除卡合关系,缝合针13也因此不会发生倒退动作。
如图6C所示,进针齿125回到了初始位置,第二拉绳122将无法继续拉动进针齿125。此时,进针齿125再次卡合于缝合针13的一个卡槽132内,该卡合位置是位于靠近缝合针尖端的一端。对应地,图6C中(b)所示的位于左侧的那个防退针齿142继续卡在缝合针13背面的卡槽132中,即卡合位置是位于靠近缝合针尖端的一端。接着,拉动第一拉绳121,由于力的方向是使进针齿125的顶端抵靠在卡槽132倾角较大的一侧。在外力的作用下,拉绳121拉动进针齿125,从而带动整个缝合针13顺时针方向继续行进。在这个过程中,刚才卡合的防退针齿142经过卡槽132的斜面滑出卡槽132,不会对缝合针13的行进造成任何阻碍。
当进针齿125已经滑到第二滑槽1122的端头,无法继续前进,第一拉绳121也就无法继续拉动,此时位于如图6D所示的位置,缝合针由此完成了一圈的行进。此时进针齿125和缝合针13的卡合位置是位于靠近缝合针尖端的一端,图6D中(b)所示的位于右侧的那个防退针齿142卡合在缝合针13的卡槽132内。
接着拉动第二拉绳122,重复上述描述的动作,缝合针便可带着缝合线一起完成对目标缝合组织的缝合或者缝线(穿线进针)的线结穿绕构成动作。从图6A-6D可以看出,进针齿125是交替卡合于缝合针的顶端或尾端的卡槽处,进针齿125和缝合针13有一起的运动,也有相对的运动(缝合针13不动,进针齿125移动)。防退针齿142不移动,缝合针13相对于防退针齿142移动,从而使得两个防退针齿142交替和缝合针13的其中一个卡槽132进行卡合。
本发明还提供一种缝合器的使用方法,包括如下步骤:
操作进针组件,使得缝合针和进针组件一起向前行进,此时缝合针的尖端从主壳体中露出,行进一段行程后回到主壳体内;
操作进针组件,使得进针组件向后移动直到卡合于缝合针,此时卡合的位置靠近缝合针的尖端,缝合针在防退针组件的作用下不动;
操作进针组件,使得缝合针和进针组件一起向前行进,直到缝合针的尖端准备从主壳体中露出;
操作进针组件,使得防退针组件向后移动直到卡合于缝合针,此时卡合的位置靠近缝合针带有缝合线的一端,缝合针在防退针组件的作用下不动;
重复上述四个步骤从而进行目标缝合组织的缝合或者缝线的打结操作。
具体而言,本发明提供的缝合器的使用方法,包括如下步骤:
于初始状态时,进针组件的进针齿卡合于缝合针的卡槽上。操作进针组件的第一拉绳,使得缝合针和进针组件一起沿着滑槽向前行进。在这个过程中,进针组件在主壳体内从滑槽的一端移动到另一端,缝合针的尖端从主壳体中露出,行进一段行程(例如半圈)后回到主壳体内。本申请所述的“往前行进”中的“前”并不是一个直线方向。当“前”指的是沿顺时针方向移动时,“后”就指的是沿逆时针方向移动。当“前”指的是沿逆时针方向移动时,“后”就指的是沿顺时针方向移动。
此时,进针组件无法继续滑动,第一拉绳也无法继续被拉动。接着拉动进针组件的第二拉绳,使得进针组件向后移动,进针组件在主壳体内从刚刚所在滑槽的另一端移动到最开始的一端,直到无法再移动。在这个过程中,防退针组件卡合于缝合针,卡合的位置靠近缝合针的尖端,缝合针在此过程中在防退针组件的作用下不动。
接着操作进针组件的第一拉绳,使得缝合针和防退针组件一起向前行进,在这个过程中,进针组件在主壳体内再次从滑槽的一端移动到另一端,此时缝合针的尖端准备从主壳体中露出;
继续操作进针组件的第二拉绳,使得进针组件向后移动直到卡合于缝合针并无法移动,此时卡合的位置靠近缝合针带有缝合线的一端。在这个过程中,防退针组件卡合于缝合针,卡合的位置靠近缝合针的尖端,缝合针在此过程中在防退针组件的作用下不动。
于一实施例中,操作进针组件的动作是通过操作操作手柄来完成。
于一实施例中,在操作进针组件之前,还包括用圈套环在内窥镜的先端对组织进行圈割。
于一实施例中,在上述所有步骤完成之后,还包括用钩钳器在内窥镜的先端对钳住缝合线的两端从而完成缝合线的打结动作。
于另一方面,本发明还提供一种治疗装置,包括上述提及的缝合器1和操作手柄6。如图7A和图7B所示,本实施例提供的操作手柄6,配合本实施例提供的缝合器1使用。于本实施例中,操作手柄6包括保险开关组件61、内圆环组件62、离合组件63、操作杆组件64、扭力限制器组件65、后壳66以及前壳67。
如图8A和图8B所示,保险开关组件61包括保险开关611和压缩弹簧612。将压缩弹簧612装入保险开关611的孔中,再一起安装到后壳66的保险开关槽661中。
如图9A和9B所示,内圆环组件62包括内圆环621、垫圈622和螺丝623。将内圆环621插入中心轴652的中孔6521中,装上垫圈622,用螺丝623拧紧。于本实施例中,内圆环621具有方孔6211和两个扎结孔6212(见图7A)。
如图10A-10F所示,离合组件63包括压缩弹簧631和632、限位销633、螺丝634、限位件635、操作手柄离合杆636。将压缩弹簧632装入操作手柄离合杆636的孔内,一起装到限位件635中,一起装到前壳67的侧孔671中,将螺丝634装入螺丝孔672拧紧。将压缩弹簧631装入限位销633中,一起装到后壳66的方孔662中。
如图11A-图11D所示,操作杆组件64包括拉簧641、传动齿轮642、操作手柄拉杆643以及齿轮连接块644。将拉簧641装到操作手柄拉杆643的挂钩6431上,一起装到前壳67的侧槽672和底圆孔673中,拉簧641装到前壳67的圆柱674中,传动齿轮642装到前壳67的底椭圆孔675中。将压缩弹簧631装入限位销633中,一起装到后壳66的方孔662中。盖上后壳66后,将齿轮连接块644装入到操作手柄拉杆643、传动齿轮642中。
如图12A-图12C所示,扭力限制器组件65包括带槽齿轮651、中心轴652、外圆环653、压缩弹簧654、六角螺母655。将中心轴652装到前壳67的中心圆孔676中,将带槽齿轮651装入中心轴652,后壳66的中心圆孔663对准中心轴652装入,再将外圆环653、压缩弹簧654、六角螺母655对准中心轴652装入。于本实施例中,外圆环653具有方孔6531和两个扎结孔6532(见图7B)。
于另一方面,本发明还提供一种治疗系统,包括上述提及的治疗装置和内窥镜2。治疗装置与内窥镜配合使用,包括操作手柄和缝合器。图13A和图13B是操作手柄6、第一拉绳121、第二拉绳122安装到软式内窥镜2的示意图。
第一拉绳121和第二拉绳122从软式内窥镜2的插钳口23穿出,经过操作手柄6的孔,分别绑到内圆环621和外圆环653上。操作手柄6安装到软式内窥镜2的插钳口23位置,用手柄紧固件固定好。
操作手柄的工作原理为:推开保险开关组件61,拉动操作杆组件64中的操作手柄拉杆643,通过齿轮连接块644将力传递到传动齿轮642,再传递到扭力限制器组件65中的带槽齿轮651,带动外圆环653转动,从而带动第一拉绳121。其中拉簧641能将操作杆组件64复位,实现连续拉动。压缩弹簧654能限制传递过大的力,使带槽齿轮651和外圆环653脱离,从而保护第一拉绳121,不会因力过大而断裂。接着滑动离合组件63中的操作手柄离合杆635,使限位销632滑动和外圆环653分离,至此外圆环653可以自由转动。旋转内圆环组件62中的内圆环621,带动第二拉绳122。
本发明对操作手柄的具体结构不做任何限定,只要能够实现本实施例操作手柄之功能,均可配合本实施例提供的缝合器使用。于其他实施例中,缝合器也可考虑不配合操作手柄而是单独使用。缝合器可具有拉环,设置于拉绳的末端,通过拉动拉环从而拉动拉绳。
如图14A-图14G所示,本发明另一实施例提供了一种操作手柄8。操作手柄包括弹簧帽811、螺丝812、主动轮813、弹簧821、防退齿822、轴831、弹簧832,833、拉杆834、螺丝835、按键841、后壳842、第一连接件851、第二连接件852、从动轮86、前壳87、扭簧881、盖板882、螺丝883、轴891、滑块892。各元件之间的连接关系如图上的组装过程可以清晰地看到,在此不进行赘述。
拉动拉杆834带动主动轮813逆时针旋转。松开拉杆834,弹簧832将拉杆834复位,实现往复拉动,主动轮813持续逆时针旋转。防退齿822是为了防止在松开拉杆834时,主动轮813顺时针旋转。按动按键841,通过第一连接件 8511和第二连接件852,带动主动轮沿轴线移动(如附图中沿轴线左侧)。主动轮813持续逆时针旋转,会带动从动轮86一起旋转。按动按键841,通过第一连接件8511和第二连接件852,带动主动轮813沿轴线移动(如图上沿轴线左侧),此时主动轮813和从动轮86分离。主动轮813持续逆时针旋转,会带动从动轮86一起旋转。按动按键841,通过第一连接件8511和第二连接件852,带动主动轮沿轴线移动(如附图中沿轴线左侧),此时主动轮813和从动轮86分离。扭簧881带动从动轮86顺时针旋转复位。操作手柄安装完成。从动轮86旋转都会带动滑块892沿着轴891滑动。从而带动缝合器的两根拉绳的拉紧和放松。
相比前一实施例所述的操作手柄而言,本实施例提供的操作手柄在操作时仅需轻微用力,并且可实现单手操作,且只需单手的两个手指即可完成,动作方向由多向改为单向,体积缩小,制作环节减少,成本降低。
于本实施例中,治疗装置还可以包括连接环4。连接环4采用硅胶制成,有弹力。然而,本发明对连接环的材质不做任何限定。如图15A和图15B所示,外置钳道管3、推结管5、连接环4以及缝合器1安装到内窥镜2上。具体而言,外置钳道管3通过连接环4固定在内窥镜2的软管部21上,推结管5装在外置钳道管3的内孔中。另外一个连接环4套到内窥镜2的先端22,缝合器1套到连接环4上从而将缝合器1固定在内窥镜2的先端22。外置钳道管3的头端31插入到缝合器1中。本实施例中的连接环4既可以起到固定外置钳道管3和内窥镜2的作用,又可以增加内窥镜2的先端22的连接强度,从而使得缝合器1能够牢固地固定在内窥镜2的先端22。于实际使用中,多个连接环可沿着内窥镜的软管进行多点分布,从而分散受力。现有的阿波罗体内手术公司的治疗装置,仅先端和操作端进行固定,极易助推内窥镜被动弯曲。
于本实施例中,治疗装置还可包括圈套环7,如图24所示。圈套环7在内窥镜的先端对组织进行圈割,或通过电流对组织进行切割。之后使用本实施例提供的缝合器,对目标缝合组织进行缝合。圈套环7可以经内窥镜自身的钳道进去,也可以由内窥镜外置的钳道进去,在此不作任何限定。
于本实施例中,治疗装置还可包括钩钳器9(如图18B所示),钩钳器9在内窥镜的先端进行组织的钳取动作或者缝合线的勾拉动作,并且最后可以钳住缝合线的两端从而完成缝合线的打结动作。钩钳器可以经内窥镜自身的钳道进去,也可以由内窥镜外置的钳道进去,在此不作任何限定。于实际使用中,可 以经两个钳道同时伸入两个钩钳器进行工作,也可只使用一个钩钳器进行工作。于本实施例中,钩钳器的前端为带钩子的钳状。
通过圈套环、缝合器和钩钳器,本实施例提供的治疗装置和治疗系统,能够实现组织的切割、缝合、打结等多样功能。另外,本实施例提供的治疗装置和治疗系统还可以包括生物胶、封堵胶、支架、吻合钉、吻合夹,从而实现功能的多样化。
接下来说明如何安装本发明的治疗装置到内窥镜上。可选地,内窥镜可采用端部直径为98mm,钳道孔径≤2mm,工作长度≤1300mm的内窥镜配合使用。本发明对内窥镜的型号不作任何限定。
首先,如图16A和图16B所示,将操作手柄6安装到内窥镜2的操作端处,通过手柄紧固件68将操作手柄6和内窥镜2牢固地固定在一起。于本实施例中,手柄紧固件68为带状,通过将带子绕过内窥镜2从而将操作手柄6和内窥镜2扣紧。然而,本发明对手柄紧固件68的形状不作任何的限定,只要能够实现固定功能的部件,均可以作为手柄紧固件。
接着,如图17A和图17B所示,将连接环4套到内窥镜2的先端22,再把缝合器1套到位于内窥镜2的先端22的连接环4上。内窥镜2开机,在监视器下,将缝合器1的方向调整为C形开口朝下。调整位置后,套紧缝合器1,直至缝合器1的套环台阶面紧抵到内窥镜2的先端22。
如图18A和图18B所示,将钩钳器9从内窥镜2的插钳口插入,经钳道到达内窥镜2的先端,然后钳住缝合器的第一拉绳121,将位于先端附近的第一拉绳121拉入到钳道内。接着取出钩钳器9,自插钳口23拉出,从而将第一拉绳121的一端从插钳口23带出(图中箭头指向为钩钳器9的移动方向)。两根拉绳在缝合器1上面的出线口处区分。优选地,第一拉绳和第二拉绳的末端可以采用不同颜色进行标记区分。本发明对此不作任何限定,于其它实施例中,第一拉绳和第二拉绳可完全一样,靠操作者进行区分。于另外的实施例中,第一拉绳和第二拉绳可以通过材质、颜色等方式进行标识便于区分。
如图19A-19C所示,将操作手柄6的内圆环621的方孔6211对准前壳的侧孔671。将已被拉出插钳口23外的第一拉绳121穿入操作手柄的方孔6211,再经内圆环621的轮翼上的两个扎结孔6212进行绑紧)。内圆环顺时针旋转,将第一拉绳121松散在操作手柄外面的线,缠绕到内圆环621的圆槽中。
如图20A和图20B所示,再次将钩钳器9从内窥镜2的插钳口23插入,经钳道到达内窥镜2的先端,然后钳住缝合器的第二拉绳122,将位于先端附近的 第二拉绳122拉入到钳道内。接着取出钩钳器9,自插钳口拉出,从而将第二拉绳122的一端从插钳口带出。
如图21A-21C所示,将操作手柄外圆环的方孔6531对准后壳的侧孔664。将已被拉出插钳口外的第一拉绳121穿入操作手柄的方孔,再经外圆环653的轮翼上的两个扎结孔6532进行绑紧。顺时针旋转外圆环,将第二拉绳122松散在手柄外面的线,缠绕到外圆环653的圆槽中。
在某一实施例中,内窥镜2可以是单钳道内窥镜。如图22A-22C所示,先将一根外置钳道管10,安装到内窥镜2上。外置钳道管10的前端插入缝合器第一壳体边缘的第二通道1112中,直至抵靠在第二通道1112的台阶面1114上。沿着钳道方向分布多个连接环,通过连接环将外置钳道管10和内窥镜2的软管部进行扣紧。将推结管20插入外置钳道管10中。
在另一实施例中,内窥镜可以是双钳道内窥镜。此时就无需特别安装外置钳道管。因为内窥镜具有两个钳道,只需要将推结管插入空置的钳道中即可。
接下来说明本发明的缝合器如何进行缝合。
首先,如图23A所示,将钩钳器9从内窥镜的插钳口插入,经钳道到达内窥镜的先端处,然后找到并钳住缝合线131。将另外一个钩钳器9插入到推结管中,到达内窥镜的先端,夹住目标缝合组织30的边缘,顺势后退以使目标缝合组织30在缝合器C形开口中间(附图中的两根拉绳省略未画)。如图23B和23C所示,连续回扳操作手柄拉杆643,以使缝合针进针而穿过组织。缝合的深度(全层或分层)依创面或无创组织的治疗而定。
如图23D和23E所示,缝合针13在针道(即第一滑槽)内进针旋转180°后,停止回扳拉杆643。然后用手轻提操作手柄的内圆环621的旋钮以拔出约3mm,同时顺时针旋转使第二拉绳122拉紧。再回扳操作手柄拉杆643使缝合针13在第一滑槽内进针旋转180°,回到初始位置。接着再轻提操作手柄内圆环621的旋钮,以拔出约3mm,同时顺时针旋转使第二拉绳122拉紧。对于较大缝合目标,可先缝取目标组织的一侧,再缝取目标组织的另一侧,适度拉紧缝线、打结。如图23F所示,松开两把钩钳器9。如图23G所示,内置钳道中的钩钳器9勾住缝合线131位于先端处(靠缝合针处)的线,适度勾拉缝合线131穿过组织。如图23H所示,另一推结管中的钩钳器9钳住缝合线131的尾端,调整内窥镜2上缝合器的位置,使缝合线131的尾端在缝合器C形开口内侧,使缝合线131的头端在缝合器C形开口外侧。
如图23I所示,连续回扳操作手柄拉杆,同时通过监视器看到缝合针进针约半圈后,拉杆回扳阻力增大,即停止回扳拉杆。用手轻提操作手柄的内圆环旋钮以拔出,同时顺时针旋转使第二拉绳拉紧。如图23J所示,再连续回扳操作手柄拉杆,同时通过监视器下见缝合针继续进针约半圈后,拉杆回扳阻力增大,即停止回扳拉杆。用手轻提操作手柄的内圆环旋钮以拔出,同时顺时针旋转使第二拉绳拉紧。如图23K所示,至此为缝合针旋转一圈,缝合针回到初始位置。再重复本段内所述步骤,即操作缝合针再旋转一圈。重复上述的缝合步骤可以连续进行缝合。
如图23L所示,松开钳住缝合线头端的钩钳器9,在缝合针越过、打半结后,迅速移至缝合线头端前方,重新钳住缝合线131。如图23M所示,拉紧两把钩钳器9,同时通过监视器进行观察,用推结管20将线结逐步推紧实现打结。为了确保打的结足够牢靠,可以再重复本段内的打结操作,完成三重结。
退出推结管20和两把钩钳器9,将内窥镜用剪,插入内窥镜空置钳道中,将缝合线剪断。缝合全部完成后,退出内窥镜及辅助工具,将缝合器拆除。
如图25和图26所示,本发明另一实施例提供了一种缝合器。本实施例提供的缝合器1’与上一实施例提供的缝合器1的结构基本相同。和上一实施例相同的元件采用相同的编号,以下仅就不同之处予以说明。本实施例的缝合器1’各元件之间为激光焊接连接,因此省去了螺丝和凸耳的设置,节省了装置的零件数量,降低了生产成本,节省了装配时间。具体而言,本实施例提供的缝合器的上壳123’就无需再设置两个上固定孔1232,下壳141’也无需设置两个下固定孔,弹片143’也无需设置固定孔,因此第二壳体112’上也无需设置三个对应的螺丝孔。
本发明中提及的“孔”不一定是圆形,可为方形,椭圆形等等,均涵盖在本发明要表达的“孔”的范围内。本发明中提及的“第一”、“第二”仅为区分命名方便表述用,并不代表第一和第二必须同时存在。本发明中的“上”和“下”均为相对方位,不作任何限定。
综上所述,本发明的缝合器、治疗装置和治疗系统可用于自然腔道手术(无创手术)、微创手术或开创手术。其结构简单,制作成本低,仅需通过进针组件即可控制缝合针的前进,从而在软组织中进行间断缝合或连续缝合,操作简单,大幅度降低手术失败风险。另外,本发明的缝合器还包括防退针组件,使得缝合针的连续前进实现可能。特别地,本发明的进针组件和防退针组件与缝合针都是可分离的卡合关系,因此通过简单的结构即可实现复杂的功能(例如目标 缝合组织的缝合与缝合线的打结),缝合器占用体积小,制作成本低。现有技术中如果需要体外操作体内组织的缝合,必须全程配套采用旋钻勾取装置才能实现缝合功能,并且现有的勾旋钻取装置是直接对组织进行旋钻勾住然后拉起,本发明的缝合器在缝合的过程当中无需采用旋钻勾取装置,即可独立实现缝合功能,避免了旋钻勾取装置对组织的损伤,大大降低了手术风险。
虽然本发明已由较佳实施例揭露如上,然而并非用以限定本发明,任何熟知此技艺者,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,可作些许的更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围当视权利要求书所要求保护的范围为准。
