With reference to Figs. 3-9, a drive mechanism is provided to approximate the anvil 14 and cartridge assembly 16, shoot the staples, and rotate the instrument assembly 12 relative to the collar 22. The drive mechanism includes a coaxial or member cable of drive 60 (Fig. 3) having a central rod 62 and a outer sheath 64, a drive collar 66 (Fig. 9), a jaw member, here represented as jaw ring 20, and a dynamic clamping member 32. The central rod 62 is, or includes, a flexible member that has a resistance to adequate compression to push the dynamic clamp member 32 through cartridge 16a. Preferably, the central rod 62 It includes a flexible cable wound to the left or right. How alternatively, other materials having some suitable resistance characteristics, for example, the Nitinol ™. The diameter of the central rod 62 must be as small enough to be placed within the space available inside cartridge 16a. The outer sheath 64 is located around the central rod 62 and works in part to stabilize and prevent buckling of the central rod 62 while It is in compression. Preferably, the outer sheath 62 it is also a flexible cable formed of a steel mesh, of reinforced plastic or a nickel and titanium alloy such as Nitinol ™. It is also contemplated that to form the outer cover other suitable materials can be used that meet the required strength requirements, including a poly paraphenylene terephthalamide material, such as the Kevlar? Commercially available from DuPont.
The central rod 62 is located for sliding inside the outer sheath 64 and includes a first proximal end 62a (Fig. 4) preferably extending from the proximal end of the endoscopic body part 18, and a second end 62b attached to dynamic clamp member 32. The dynamic clamp member 32 preferably includes a recess 68 (Fig. 7) formed therein to receive the second end 62b of the central rod 62. The second end 62b can be secured to dynamic clamping member 32 by highlighting, by welding as in Fig. 4, by brazing, with pins, etc., within, or using, for example, recess 68 and, may also be machined to fit the shape of recess 68.
The outer sheath 64 has a first end proximal 64a that preferably extends from the end proximal of the elongated body part 18, and a second end distal 64b fixedly connected to drive collar 66. The drive collar 66 (Fig. 9) preferably includes a central bore 70 to receive the outer sheath 64 and provide a channel for the passage of the central rod 62 therethrough. The outer surface of drive collar 66 includes preferably an application structure, for example, notches 72, to apply the jaw member or the ring 20 in a relationship from set to rotation. The jaw ring 20 also includes a application structure, for example, veins or projections 74, for matching the application structure of the collar drive 66 to ensure for rotation the collar of drive 66 to jaw ring 20 so that they rotate together. The distal end 20a of the jaw ring 20 includes a pair of cuttings 78 configured to receive and apply to parts of tab 36a and 36b of dynamic clamping member 32.
In use, the central rod 62 and the sheath exterior 64 are movable together from a retracted position to a partially advanced position, to advance the drive collar 66, jaw ring 20 and the member of Dynamic clamping 32 to a first advanced position. The hoop of jaw 20 is preferably located around the end anvil proximal 14 and cartridge assembly 16. The assembly of cartridge 16 includes a cam surface 80 (Fig. 2) formed in an external surface thereof. When the pincer member moves dynamic 32 from the retracted position to the first position of advanced, tab 36b of dynamic clamp member 32 is Applies to cam surface 80 of cartridge assembly 16 to swing the cartridge assembly 16 from the position of open to closed or pinched position. The jaw ring 20 is also moved distally from the first advanced position to a position in which it surrounds the proximal parts of the anvil 14 and the cartridge assembly 16. In this position, the jaw ring 20 prevents the gap between the proximal parts of the anvil 14 and cartridge assembly 16 exceed a distance default
After the central rod 62 and the sheath exterior 64 have been moved to the first position of advanced to move the cartridge assembly 16 and, consequently, the anvil 14 to the pinched position, the rod can be advanced central 62 independently of the outer sheath 64 to a second advanced position to move dynamic clamp member 32 to through cartridge 16a to eject staples from the assembly of cartridge and cut the tissue by using the blade 34 of the closing member 32. It is contemplated that, as alternatively, tabs 36a and 36b of closure member 32 may applied to a cam surface in anvil 14 and / or in the cartridge assembly 16 to swing one or both to perform tissue clamping. With reference to Figs. 5 and 6, in the cartridge 16a is formed a channel 82 to provide support lateral to the central rod 62 to prevent the central rod 62 buckling during the movement of the central rod 62 from the backward position to the second advanced position.
As seen in the foregoing, the anvil 14 is secured for rotation to collar 22, the central rod 62 is fixedly attached to the dynamic clamp member 32, and the outer sheath 64 is fixedly attached to the collar of drive 66. When the coaxial member 60 is rotated, the whole instrument assembly rotates around the geometric axis center of collar 22. More specifically, since the member dynamic clamping 32 is confined within the anvil 14 and the cartridge assembly 16, any torque that is applied to the center rod 62 is transferred via the dynamic clamp member 32 to instrument set 12. Therefore, it can be done rotate the coaxial member 60 to rotate the assembly of instrument 12 around the longitudinal geometric axis of the collar 22.
The instrument set described above can be modified to, or can be incorporated into, a unit of disposable filler, as described in US Pat. Number 6,330,965, or be attached directly to the distal end of Any known surgical stapling device. Although here a handle assembly has not been specifically described for actuate the articulation member and approach mechanisms or clamping, firing, and rotation of the instrument, must remain understood that they have contemplated a great diversity of different actuation mechanisms and handle configurations, including cranked levers, swivel and slide knobs, levers pivotable or triggers, gun handles, in-line handles, remote operated systems, and any combination of same. For example, as illustrated in Fig. 13A, the handle set can include a type of 200 gun that includes a knob 210 for rotating the instrument assembly, a lever joint 212 and a body rotation knob 214. It has also been contemplated the use of an instrument set as described in the foregoing as part of a robotic system.
It is contemplated that the use of a material of a larger caliber only for the anvil assembly, and preferably also for the closing member and for the ring of clamping, provides increased clamping pressure along the length of the tissue, which, in turn, produces a space of more uniform tissue separation between the respective anvil and the cartridge surfaces adjacent to, and in front of, where make up the staples through the tissue. Also, using the hoop of pinching to pre-pinch the tissue, that is, to pinch the fabric prior to the deformation of the staples, tends to force some of the tissue fluid distally and radially toward outside, which reduces the likelihood of hydraulic displacement of the staples during deformation. The use of a closing member or similar that makes the clamping when moving along the instrument member, helps compensate for fluid flow and / or from within the tissue and / or the bow of the distal end of the anvil, and thus maintains the desired separation space of the tissue between the anvil and the cartridge assembly.
In another preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 14, the closure member 132 includes upper flanges and lower 136a, 136b spaced apart and joined to one part intermediate 132a. As in the previous embodiment, the member of closure 132 is preferably located in the proximal part of the slide 140, partially inside a cartridge 118 of the assembly of cartridge 116. A blade of blade 134 is located preferably in the intermediate part 132a of the closure member 132 to make an incision in the subject tissue. Leaf blade 134 can be machined directly into a section of the intermediate part 132a, can either be fixedly attached or detachable to intermediate part 132a. As an alternative, the sheet blade 134 may be formed as part of the slider 140, or it can either be fixedly fixed or detachable to the slide 140. The upper and lower tabs 136a, 136b are structures in generally arched with substantially identical curvatures. How alternative, the curvatures of the upper and lower tabs 136a, 136b may differ, to provide support for the major or minor structure. Each tab 136a, 136b also includes an inner surface 135a, 135b and an outer surface 137a, 137b. Preferably, the closure member 132 is constructed of so that the inner surfaces 135a, 135b are facing each other each. The upper and lower tabs 136a, 136b work to define the maximum tissue separation space between the surfaces of the anvil and the cartridge.
In a preferred embodiment, the set of cartridge 116 includes a plurality of retention slots 122 arranged along a longitudinal geometric axis of the cartridge housing 118. As illustrated in Fig. 15, retention slots 122 are arranged to form groups first and second 124, 126. Preferably, each group 124, 126 includes three rows of retention slots 122 configured such so that at least one of the rows is offset longitudinally of the remaining rows. It is also preferred. that at least two rows of retention slots 122 are arranged in each group 124, 126 of the cartridge assembly 118 such that each retaining slot 122 of an inner row is in alignment substantial longitudinal with a corresponding retention groove 122 in the outer row, and the middle row of grooves of retention 122 is displaced longitudinally from the rows indoor and outdoor Therefore, the inner rows and outer retention grooves 122 are aligned longitudinally from the most proximal position to the most position distal of cartridge housing 118. Preferably a slot retention 122 in the inner and outer rows defines, respectively, the most proximal retention groove and the groove of more distal retention. The advantageous position of the grooves of retention 122, as described, improves tissue retention and minimizes bleeding.
With reference to Figs. 16A-17B, additional embodiments have been illustrated of slide 140 and pusher member 150. The member pusher 150 includes a base portion 152. In Fig. 16A, the slide 140 has been advanced longitudinally in the cartridge housing 118 and begins to be applied to base 152 of pusher member 150. When the slide 140 is further advanced in the longitudinal direction (Fig. 16B), the base 152 of the member pusher 150 is applied to vertical cam wedges 144 of the slide 140. The longitudinal movement of the slide 140 transfers the longitudinal driving forces along the cam wedges 144, and therefore to pusher members 150. Preferably, the pusher members 150 are in relation to fixed with the longitudinal movement of the slider 140 and move in direction substantially orthogonal to the geometric axis length of cartridge assembly 118, thereby transferring the driving forces to the rear section 162 of the clip 160 for move the clip 160 through the retention slot 122. In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 17A, the wedges of cam 144 of the slider 140 are applied to a recess 154 in the pusher member 122. Recess 154 is configured and adapted for sliding application of cam wedge 144. Once that cam wedge 144 is applied to recess 154, the rear longitudinal movement of the slide 140 acts to keep the pusher member 150 in substantial vertical alignment with the shaft longitudinal geometric Being so configured, once applied with slide 140, pusher member 150 maintains its relationship substantially orthogonal with the longitudinal geometric axis to move through retaining slot 122. Alternatively, the pusher member 150a may be configured to remain with a space 146a between the cam wedges 144a of the slide 140a, as illustrated in Fig. 17B. As in the realization above, the base 152a of the pusher member 150a is configured and adapted for sliding application with space 146a of the slide 140a. Still, also, when applying the member pusher 150a to cam wedge 144a of slide 140a, the pusher member 150a maintains its relationship of substantially orthogonal with the longitudinal geometric axis when moving through the retention slot 122.
