This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/253,959 filed Oct. 19, 2005, which is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/449,476, filed May 30, 2003, and entitled “Apparatus and Method to Access the Bone Marrow”, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/384,756, filed May 31, 2002, and entitled “Apparatus and Method to Provide Access to Bone Marrow”. The entire contents of each of the above-referenced disclosures is specifically incorporated herein by reference without disclaimer.
FIG. 4A-C illustrates various alternate embodiments of a reduction gear mechanism that may be included in an embodiment of the present invention;
In FIG. 3B gear assembly 38 is coupled to motor 30. Gear assembly 38 may be a reduction gear assembly, such as that shown in FIG. 3B that functions to reduce the revolutions per minute (RPMs) between the motor and drill shaft 40 and to increase drill shaft torque. Depending on the type of motor employed in the invention, gear assembly may or not be of the reduction type.
By way of example and not limitation, a reduction gear assembly, for example a worm gear assembly is shown in more detail in FIG. 4A and may include first connector 43 that connects shaft 44 of motor 30 to worm tear 46. Worm gear 46 may engage spur gear 47. Reduction gear assembly 38 may be used to decrease the RPMs between the motor and penetrator assembly to provide an optimum RPM at the point of insertion of penetrator assembly into bone. Reduction gear assembly 38 may also be used to increase the torque of drill shaft and drilling power.
A method for providing access to the bone marrow includes using a powered drill, capable, of reciprocal or rotational motion, to insert a penetrator assembly that includes an outer penetrator and an inner trocar into a bone marrow cavity. The powered drill is then released from the penetrator assembly and the inner trocar is grasped and removed from the outer penetrator. A connector present on the end of the outer penetrator, for example a luer lock connector, is then available for attachment to either an adapter, such as a right angle connector or directly to an intravenous tubing or syringe.
1. A penetrator assembly operable to provide access to a bone marrow comprising: an outer penetrator and a removable inner trocar including a tip operable to penetrate the bone marrow; the removable inner trocar comprising: a first connector operable to releasably attach the penetrator assembly to a powered apparatus; and a handle includes a surface with a series of discs formed along a longitudinal axis of the trocar that allows a user to grasp and manipulate the inner trocar; and the outer penetrator comprising: a second connector operable to releasably engage the outer penetrator with either (i) the removable inner trocar such that the outer penetrator and removable inner trocar can be rotated into a bone together as a unit, or (ii) a source of fluids such that fluid can be delivered to a cannula portion of the outer penetrator; and a flange operable to engage an insertion site proximate the bone marrow, wherein the flange comprises at least one circular groove operable to removably receive a needle cover.
6. The penetrator assembly of claim 1 wherein the powered apparatus comprises a powered drill.
7. The penetrator assembly of claim 1 further comprising:
a second connecting piece attached to the inner trocar; and
8. The penetrator assembly of claim 1 wherein the first connector further comprises a release mechanism selected from the group consisting of a magnetic disc, an 0-ring, a ball and detent mechanism.
9. The penetrator assembly of claim 1 wherein a proximal end of the first connector includes a recess extending toward the tip and through which a longitudinal axis of the removable inner trocar extends, the recess configured to receive a portion of a shaft to enable rotation of the penetrator assembly by the powered apparatus.
10. A penetrator assembly operable to provide access to a bone marrow comprising: an outer penetrator and a removable inner trocar including a tip operable to penetrate the bone marrow; the inner trocar having a handle includes a surface with a series of discs formed along a longitudinal axis of the trocar that allows a user to grasp and manipulate the assembly; the outer penetrator having a flange operable to engage an insertion site proximate the bone marrow, wherein the flange comprises at least one circular groove operable to removably receive a needle cover; and a first connector operable to releasably attach the penetrator assembly to a power drill; the outer penetrator includes a cutting tip with a planar surface, the removable inner trocar includes a cutting tip with a planar surface, and the inner trocar is configured to be coupled to the outer penetrator such that the planar surface of the inner trocar is coplanar with the planar surface of the outer penetrator.
11. The penetrator assembly of claim 10 further comprising a second connector operable to releasably engage the inner trocar with the outer penetrator.
14. The penetrator assembly of claim 10 further comprising a penetrator shield operable to prevent inadvertent engagement and to preserve sterility.
15. The penetrator assembly of claim 10 wherein a proximal end of the first connector includes a recess extending toward the tip and through which a longitudinal axis of the removable inner trocar extends, the recess configured to receive a portion of a shaft to enable rotation of the penetrator assembly by the power drill.
