- the filamentous body 3 forms a concavo-convex structure that provides resistance to relative movement of the sheet body 2 in the extending direction of the sheet body 2 with respect to the target site of the living body through which the insertion member IS is inserted.
- the target site of the living body is the peripheral portion of the wall-like tissue T through which the insertion member IS is inserted. More specifically, the target part of the living body is a part of the wall-like tissue T that is incised in order to install the fixing structure 1 through which the insertion member IS is inserted.
- the term "filamentous body” when it is possible to form a concavo-convex structure that provides resistance to relative movement with respect to the target area in the extending direction of the sheet body 2, it is possible to sew only the part of the sheet body 2.
- the present invention is not limited to the attached filament bodies (radial suture portions 31, circumferential suture portions 32, sheet body side filament bodies 34, etc., which will be described later).
- the "filamentous body” also includes a fixed filamentous body 33 that fixes the sheet body 2 and other members (for example, the holding portion 5 described below), as described later.
- the "uneven structure that provides resistance to relative movement with respect to the target area in the extending direction of the sheet body 2" constituted by the filamentous body 3 is defined by the thickness of the sheet body 2 in the direction in which the sheet body 2 extends, that is, the thickness of the sheet body 2. Relative movement between the two sheets and the target region (wall-like tissue T. Hereinafter, the target region is also referred to as wall-like tissue T) in any direction perpendicular to the direction is suppressed.
- the uneven structure is formed by sewing thread-like bodies 3 on the surface of sheet body 2 (one surface 2a and/or the other surface 2b in the thickness direction) in a predetermined pattern. It is provided by protruding from the surface in the thickness direction of the sheet body 2 (see FIGS.
- the portion where the filamentous body 3 is sewn to the sheet body 2 constitutes a convex portion with an uneven structure, and the portion where the filamentous body 3 is not provided, that is, the surface of the sheet body 2 constitutes a concave portion with an uneven structure. It consists of
- the fixing structure 1 is sewn onto the surface of the sheet body 2 so as to form an uneven structure that provides resistance to relative movement with respect to the target region in the extending direction of the sheet body 2. It has a filamentous body 3 which is attached to the filament 3. Thereby, when the fixation structure 1 is provided at the target site (wall-like tissue T), a part of the wall-like tissue T enters into the recess of the uneven structure.
- the contact area with the wall-like tissue T is larger than that of a fixing structure consisting only of a sheet body without thread-like bodies, so the uneven structure of the fixing structure 1 is The resistance when 1 moves against the wall-like tissue T also increases.
- the sheet body 2 and the wall-like tissue T move relative to each other in the extending direction of the sheet body 2 parallel to the surface of the sheet body 2 (in the present embodiment, the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the sheet body 2). Movement of the sheet body 2 relative to the wall-like tissue T or movement of the wall-like tissue T relative to the sheet body 2 is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress misalignment of the sheet body 2 relative to the target site, such as the skin, without suturing the sheet body 2 to the target site. Therefore, the fixation structure 1 can be fixed to the target site at an early stage with a simple treatment.
- the uneven structure formed by the filamentous body 3 suppresses the positional shift of the fixing structure 1 with respect to the wall-like tissue T of the living body. Therefore, the cells of the wall-like tissue T stably proliferate and enter the sheet body 2, and healing of the incision site (target site) through which the insertion member IS is inserted is promoted.
- a minute space SP ( In FIG. 5, the size of the space SP is exaggerated for ease of understanding).
- the fixed structure 1 is embedded in the wall-like tissue T and a predetermined period of time has elapsed, cells of the wall-like tissue T enter this minute space SP.
- This promotes healing of the wall-like tissue T at the incision site, and enables early fixation of the fixation structure 1 to the wall-like tissue T.
- the filamentous body 3 becomes restrained by the entering cells. Therefore, even if the entire fixed structure 1 attempts to move relative to the wall-like tissue T, the cells that have entered the minute space SP become entangled with the filament 3, and the relative movement of the fixed structure 1 to the wall-like tissue T is prevented. suppressed.
- FIG. 7 shows that after making an incision on the back of a rat and embedding the fixation structure 1, which has a filament 3 sewn to an ePTFE sheet body 2, under the skin for 30 days, the fixation structure 1 was inserted into the back including the skin.
- This is a hematoxylin and eosin stained (HE stained) image of a cross-section of the area removed from the body and enlarged 40 times.
- cells of the wall-like tissue T have entered between the filamentous bodies 3 and the sheet bodies 2, and between the filamentous bodies 3 and the filamentous bodies 3, making it difficult for the skin to peel off. It was observed that there were.
- FIG. 8 shows that the fixation structure of the comparative example was implanted under the same conditions as in FIG. 7 except that the fixation structure of the comparative example in which the filament 3 was not sewn was used. This is a hematoxylin and eosin stained (HE stained) image of the cross section of the removed portion enlarged 40 times.
- a porous ePTFE sheet similar to the image shown in FIG.
- the uneven structure may be provided on at least one surface of the sheet body 2, but in this embodiment, the uneven structure is provided on both surfaces of the sheet body 2.
- the uneven structure is provided on both surfaces of the sheet body 2
- relative movement between the fixing structure 1 and the wall-like tissue T can be further suppressed, and one surface 2a of the sheet body 2 and the other surface It becomes easier for cells of the wall-like tissue T to invade on both surfaces 2b, and healing of the incision site is further promoted.
- the filamentous body 3 is made of a biocompatible non-absorbable material.
- the biocompatible, non-absorbable material constituting the filament 3 can be the same material used as medical suture threads.
- the material constituting the filamentous body 3 include polyurethane resin, polyamide resin, polylactic acid resin, polyolefin resin, polyester resin, fluororesin, urea resin, phenol resin, epoxy resin, polyimide resin, acrylic resin, methacrylic resin, and the like.
- the material may be at least one selected from the group consisting of derivatives of, and preferably, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE).

以下、図面を参照し、本発明の一実施形態の固定構造を説明する。なお、以下に示す実施形態はあくまで一例であり、本発明の固定構造は、以下の実施形態に限定されるものではない。
第2実施形態の固定構造1は、図9に示されるように、複数の周方向縫合部32を有している。具体的には、第2実施形態の固定構造1は、放射方向で開口縁21aからの距離が異なる複数の(図9では3つの)周方向縫合部32を有している。本実施形態の固定構造1は、放射状縫合部を有しておらず、周縁領域Rbに糸状体3を有していない非縫合部24を有している。本実施形態では、複数の周方向縫合部32が設けられていることによって、固定構造1と壁状の組織Tとの間の放射方向での相対移動がさらに抑制される。
第3実施形態の固定構造1は、図10に示されるように、第2実施形態と同様に、放射方向で開口縁21aからの距離が異なる複数の(図10では3つの)周方向縫合部32を有している。本実施形態の固定構造1は、周縁領域Rbに糸状体3を有していない非縫合部24を有している。また、本実施形態では、中央領域Raに設けられ、最も開口21に近い周方向縫合部32から、放射方向で開口縁21aに向かって延びる複数の放射状縫合部31を有している。本実施形態の固定構造1は、第2実施形態と同様に、複数の周方向縫合部32が設けられていることによって、固定構造1と壁状の組織Tとの間の放射方向での相対移動がさらに抑制される。また、複数の放射状縫合部を有していることによって、固定構造1と、壁状の組織Tとの間の、放射方向に交差する方向の相対移動を抑制することができる。また、複数の放射状縫合部31は、開口縁21aの周方向全体に亘って設けられているので、固定構造1の壁状の組織Tに対する回転を抑制することができる。また、中央領域Ra側が密となり、シート体2の外周縁22側が粗となっているので、固定構造1の中央領域Raの剛性が高まり、固定構造1は中央領域Raにおいて変形しにくくなる。したがって、上述したように、固定構造1に挿通された挿通部材ISを対象部位(壁状の組織T)に対して所定の角度に維持することができる。したがって、固定構造1が変形したり、壁状の組織Tに対して傾いたりすることで、固定構造1と壁状の組織Tとの間で成長した細胞が剥がれてしまうことが抑制される。そのため、細胞の成長が阻害されず、中央領域Raでの細胞の繁殖が活発となり、切開部位の治癒が促進されるとともに、ダウングロースを抑制することができる。
第4実施形態の固定構造1は、図11に示されるように、中央領域Raから外周縁22側に向かって延びる複数の異なる放射状縫合部31を有している。複数の放射状縫合部31を有していることによって、固定構造1と、壁状の組織Tとの間の、放射方向に交差する方向の相対移動を抑制することができる。また、複数の放射状縫合部31は、開口縁21aの周方向全体に亘って設けられているので、固定構造1の壁状の組織Tに対する回転を抑制することができる。なお、本実施形態では、周方向縫合部は設けられていない。なお、図11における二点鎖線は、固定構造1の領域の境界を示すものである。
第5実施形態の固定構造1は、第4実施形態の固定構造1に対して、さらに周方向縫合部32を有している。第5実施形態では、第4実施形態で説明した効果に加えて、周方向縫合部32によって、固定構造1と壁状の組織Tとの間の放射方向での相対移動を抑制することができる。
第6実施形態の固定構造1は、後述するように、挿通部材ISを案内する筒状の挿通部4と、シート体2を挟持し、挿通部4に固定される挟持部5とを備えている点で、第1~第5実施形態の固定構造と異なる。なお、以下に説明する点は、第1~第5実施形態、第7~第9実施形態の固定構造にも適用することができる。
第7実施形態は、図24に示されるように、補助縫合部342が設けられている点で、第6実施形態と異なり、補助縫合部342が設けられている以外の構成は、第6実施形態と同様である。なお、以下で説明する構成は、他の実施形態においても適用することができ、他の実施形態の構成を本実施形態に適用することもできる。
第8実施形態は、図26および図27に示されるように、補助縫合部342が交差縫合部341に重なる位置に設けられている点で、第7実施形態と異なり、それ以外の構成は、第7実施形態と同様である。なお、以下で説明する構成は、他の実施形態においても適用することができ、他の実施形態の構成を本実施形態に適用することもできる。
第9実施形態では、図28に示されるように、補助縫合部342が設けられている領域が、交差縫合部341の外端341c側の領域である点で、第8実施形態と異なり、それ以外の構成は、第8実施形態と同様である。なお、以下で説明する構成は、他の実施形態においても適用することができ、他の実施形態の構成を本実施形態に適用することもできる。
