The following describes with reference to the drawings, a medical staple 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Medical staples according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), (b), the base portion 2 of the elongated shape and a single needle part 3 extending from one end of the base portion 2 It is provided.
Base portion 2 and the needle unit 3 is formed of a highly biocompatible, such as titanium alloy or stainless steel metal.
Needle part 3 protrudes in a predetermined direction relative to the base portion 2, the central angle is arc of less than approximately 90 ° or 90 °. In other words, the needle part 3, from one longitudinal end of the base portion 2, extends toward the other end of the base portion 2 protrudes in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the base portion 2, the tip 3d is a free end there. The outer peripheral surface positioned radially outward of the needle part 3 is curved at a constant curvature.
Hereinafter, the base portion 2 and the needle 3 and the direction perpendicular to the plane defined (paper flush in FIG. 1) by (a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1) is defined as the width direction of the needle part 3, the needle the radial arc parts 3 is defined as the thickness direction of the needle part 3.
Needle unit 3 includes, in order from the base portion 2 side, and a curved portion 3B, consists of a distal portion 3A having a sharp tip 3d. Curved portion 3B has a constant width W, the tip portion 3A has a width which gradually decreases toward the distal end 3d. Further, the needle part 3, from the root 3c which is connected to the base portion 2 to the tip 3d, has gradually becomes smaller thickness Tc, Tb, Ta and (Tc> Tb> Ta). Thus, FIG. 2 (a), (b), as shown (c), the area of ​​the substantially rectangular cross-section in the thickness direction of the needle part 3, becomes gradually smaller toward the root 3c at the tip 3d ing. 2 (a) is cross-section in a first bending position 3a which is a boundary between the tip portion 3A and the curved portion 3B, FIG. 2 (b), a second bending position is the position of the middle of a curved portion 3B section in 3b, FIG. 2 (c) shows a cross-section at the root 3c respectively. The tip section 3A, by having a tapering shape toward the sharpened tip 3d, the tip portion 3A is adapted to be easily punctured or penetrate the body tissue.
Needle part 3, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the tip 3d, the pressing force F1 in the radially inward arc of the needle part 3 acts, when the pressing force F1 is increased, the first surrender to as bent around an axis in the width direction, are designed in one bending position 3a. Furthermore, the needle part 3, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the base side near the first bending position 3a, the radially inward pressing force F2 of the arc shape of the needle part 3 acts, the when the pressing force F2 is increased, first to yield in the second bending position 3b, it is designed to bend around an axis in the width direction.
Here it will be described the bending deformation characteristics of the needle part 3.
Bending pressing force to the needle portion 3 can occur needle part 3 when acted deformation and axis (X axis) in the thickness direction bending deformation, the width direction of the axis (Y-axis) around the bending deformation and divided is, the difficulty of the bending deformation around the axes depends on the cross-sectional shape. Specifically, moment of inertia Ix and Y axis of the second moment Iy around the X axis is defined by the following equation.
Ix = (1/12) * thickness * (width) ^ 3
Iy = (1/12) * (thickness) ^ 3 * width dimension
Further, when the pressing force F1, F2 on the base 3c side near the tip 3d or first bending position 3a of the needle part 3 is applied, in the width direction acting on each position of the needle part 3 of the Y-axis bending moment the size of the distance from the position where the pressing force F1, F2 is acting to that position, and depends on the angle between the thickness direction in the direction and its position of the pressing force F1, F2.
Based on the relationship between such bending moment and second moment, the needle unit 3, as the first bending position 3a to yield the first bending moment when the pressing force F1 is applied to the tip 3d, shape There has been designed. Similarly, the needle part 3, when the pressing force F2 on the base side near the first bending position 3a is applied, a second bending position 3b between the base 3c to the first bending position 3a is first as surrender to bending moments, shape is designed.
Further, in the second bending position 3b, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), are identical and a thickness dimension Tb and width W of the cross-tip 3d side than the second bending position 3b in, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), towards the width W is larger than the thickness dimension. That is, in the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b, Y-axis of the second moment is not more than the second moment of the other direction around the axis, relatively out of the needle part 3 in the portion from the second bending position 3b having a small cross-sectional area to the tip 3d, are not easily especially bending deformation around the X-axis in comparison with the Y axis. Thus, the bending directions of the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b, apt to control the direction along the plane, bending shape of the needle part 3 is further adapted to stabilize. Further, the circumferential length L1 from the tip 3d to the first bending position 3a is shorter than the circumferential length dimension L2 from the second bending position 3b to the root.
Next, description thus configured operation of the medical staples 1.
Medical staples 1 of the present embodiment is used as a needle of a medical stapler provided with opening and closing cartridge 4 and the anvil 5. Cartridge 4 and the anvil 5 has an inner surface 4a, 5a facing each other, the inner surface 4a in a state in which the cartridge 4 and the anvil 5 is closed, which is a living tissue and can be gripped between 5a.
The inner surface 4a of the cartridge 4 are a number of slots 6 is opened. The medical staples 1 is retractable housed from the slot 6 in a state with its tip 3d to the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 in the slot 6. The cartridge 4, the cam 7 for extruding medical staples 1 from the slot inside 6 are movably provided. By the base part 2 of the medical staples 1 is pushed in order from one end side to the proximal side by the inclined surface 7a provided on the cam 7, the medical staple 1, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the needle while rotating along the arc-shaped parts 3 are adapted to be pushed out of the slot within 6.
Needle unit 3 pushed out while rotating from the slot within 6, after the biological tissue P penetrates in the thickness direction from the cartridge 4 side, the tip 3d is brought into contact with the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5. Then, by acting pressing force F1 from the inner surface 5a at the tip 3d of the anvil 5, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), a first bending position 3a starts bending. With the the extrusion amount of the needle part 3 from the slot 6 is increased, the contact position between the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 of the needle part 3, the first bending position from the tip 3d along the outer circumferential surface of the needle part 3 Go toward 3a, during which the bending angle of the first bending position 3a gradually increases.
When the contact position with the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 of the needle part 3 has passed the first bending position 3a, the bending deformation and the end of the first bending position 3a, followed by the base of the first bending position 3a by acting pressing force F2 from the inner surface 5a in the vicinity side starts bending the second bending position 3b. With the the extrusion amount of the needle part 3 from the slot 6 is increased, the contact position between the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 of the needle part 3, the root of the first bending position 3a along the outer circumferential surface of the needle part 3 It moves toward the side near to the base 3c, during this time, the bent angle of the second bending position 3b is gradually increased. Here, starting bending the second bending position 3b, the tip 3d is made to move toward the cartridge 4, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the tip portion 3A is the living tissue from the anvil 5 side again to puncture P. Thus, it is possible to suture the body tissue stably in two places.
Here, the length L1 from the needle part 3 of the tip 3d to the first bending position 3a is a second bending position 3b so is smaller than the length L2 to the base 3c, the second bending angle of the bent position 3b even exceed 90 ° Note tip 3d is not in contact with the cartridge 4. Therefore, a portion between the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b of the needle part 3, as biological tissue P is sandwiched tightly between the base portion 2, a second bending position 3b can be folded up to an angle sufficient, it is possible to more reliably sutured biological tissue P.
When the contact position with the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 of the needle part 3 has passed the second bending position 3b, bending deformation of the second bending position 3b is terminated, followed by the second bending position 3b and the base by pressing force acting from the inner surface 5a between 3c, the portion between the second bending position 3b and the base 3c bent.
Thus, according to this embodiment, since the outer circumferential surface of the circular arc shape of the needle part 3 is deformed in contact with the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 can than conventional staples deformed with a small force. In particular, since the outer peripheral surface of the needle part 3 has a constant curvature, with increasing extrusion amount of the needle part 3 from the cartridge 4, the outer peripheral surface of the needle part 3 in contact with the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 moves while smoothly rotate relative to the inner surface 5a. This has the advantage that it is possible to further reduce the amount of force required to bending deformation of the needle part 3.
Furthermore, the needle part 3, in the course of bending deformation by the anvil 5, and a first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b is set to yield preferentially by the pressing force F1, F2 for receiving the anvil 5 there. After the first bending position 3a is bent to surrender to the pressing force F1, because the flexural rigidity of the first bending position 3a is greatly reduced, the pressing force the needle unit 3 receives from the anvil 5 since this is the It is consumed to further the bending deformation of the first bending position 3a, deformation of the portion other than the first bending position 3a is prevented. Similarly, after the second bending position 3b is bent to surrender to the pressing force F2, the pressing force which the needle part 3 receives from the anvil 5 is consumed to further bending deformation of the second bending position 3b, the deformation in the portion other than the second bent position 3b is prevented. Advantage that this way, the bending position of the needle part 3 is limited to the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b, it is possible to mold the needle part 3 in a predetermined bent shape further smaller force there is.
Furthermore, FIG. 2 (a), (b), as shown (c), the cross-sectional area of ​​the needle part 3, it has become gradually larger toward the root 3c from the tip 3d, the needle part 3 , more root side, are hardly deformed by bending. In particular, the second moment around the Y axis is strongly dependent on the thickness. Therefore, it has become gradually larger thickness toward the base 3c from the tip 3d, when the pressing force F1 is applied to the tip 3d, base 3c-side portion than the first bending position. 3a, It has to withstand stably against bending moments generated by the pressing force F1. Similarly, when the pressing force F2 on the base side near the first bending position 3a is applied, the base 3c-side portion than the second bending position 3b is stable to the bending moment generated by a pressing force F2 It is adapted to withstand manner. Thus, the needle part 3, the first bending position 3a and can be reliably bent in only the second bending position 3b, there is an advantage that the bent shape of the needle part 3 can be further stabilized.
Further, the needle unit 3 has a hardly deformed bending properties around the X-axis. Thus, for example, by such needle 3 is pushed slightly inclined rather than perpendicular to the inner surface 5a of the anvil 5 from the slot 6, as X axis of the bending moment to the needle part 3 is applied, the needle unit 3 It is endured stably around the X axis of the bending moment, bending deformation only selective for Y-axis. This is advantageous in that the bent shape of the needle part 3 can be further stabilized.
The first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b has a deformable bent with a small force as compared to other parts of the needle part 3. Then, after the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b surrendered once, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), further bending deformation of the first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b It requires only a smaller amount of force needed to. Therefore, only a small force throughout the course of the bending deformation, there is an advantage that can be deformed to bend the needle part 3.
The width of the needle part 3 is constant from the base 3c to the first bending position 3a, the thickness of the needle part 3 is smaller in the second bending position 3b than the base 3c, and a second bending position It is smaller in the first bending position 3a than 3b. The needle part 3 in such a shape, machining fabrication of the needle part 3 is facilitated. Further, since the contact width of the inner surface 5a of the curved portion 3B and the anvil 5 is constant, with the shape of the anvil pockets is simplified, there is an advantage that the needle part 3 can be stably deformed.
In the present embodiment, the medical staple 1, it is assumed that comprise a single needle part 3, instead of this, the medical staple 1, FIG. 5 (a), (b), (c as shown in), it may include two or more of the needle part 3.
Figure 5 (a), (b), the medical staple 1 as shown in (c) is provided with two needle part 3. Needle part 3 projects from the two spaced in the width direction of the one end of the base portion 2, and extend in parallel with each other.
2 of the needle part 3, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), may be provided at both ends of the base portion 2. In this case, two of the needle part 3 is curved in same direction protrudes relative to the base 2 from opposite ends of the base portion 2 in the opposite directions in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 2. Needle part 3 having such a shape, for example, by using an anvil having an inner surface 5a of the shape shown in FIG. 6 (a), as shown in FIG. 6 (b), thereby bending deformation can.
In the present embodiment, the needle unit 3 is, the width dimension and a thickness dimension from the tip 3d to the roots 3c has a to have a shape varying continuously, instead of this, the needle part 3, Fig. as shown in 7 and 8, the width and thickness may have a graded shape.
In this way, the second moment Ix at each position of the needle part 3, it is easy to design Iy, first bending position 3a and a second bending position 3b are respectively pressing force F1, F2 first needle portion 3 of the shape of the design, such as breakdown can be facilitated.
