Definitions

  • TISSUE REPAIR SYSTEM This invention relates to a tissue repair system.
  • tissue When tissue is damaged or torn it is often repaired by bringing the torn edges of the wound together using sutures. There are many repairs or reconstructions of tissue that require this drawing together of the edges of the tissue including wound closure on the skin.
  • this drawing together of the torn edges is conventionally effected by suturing adjacent the damaged edges and applying tension to the sutures in order to urge the opposite edges of the damaged tissue towards each other.
  • a repair of this kind actually creates further damage to the ruptured tissue in addition to delaying healing, or fails for some other reason.
  • repairs to the rotator cuff it is estimated that of the order of 70% of torn tissues do not respond to conventional repair procedures.
  • a tissue repair system comprising first and second webs, the said webs being arranged with one edge of the first web spaced apart from one edge of the second web, a thread passing at intervals through both of said edges, the webs being relatively movable from a first position in which the said one edges are spaced apart and a second position in which said one edges are closer, to one another, the webs being movable from said first position to said second position by pulling one or both ends of the thread away from the webs in the general direction of said one edges of the webs.
  • the webs may be pieces of cloth for example which can be at least in part woven and/or may comprise two or more wales which are interconnected by laid in wefts.
  • the webs need not be of textile material but can be of plastics, paper, a composite or the like. They can be in the form of a film which can be continuous or in the form of a mesh, net or the like.
  • the wales may be knitted and/or crochet.
  • the first and second webs may be different but are preferably similar.
  • the webs and/or thread may be made from a permanent material such as polyester or a bioabsorbable material.
  • Fig.1 shows a side elevation of one embodiment of the invention in which the webs are in the first position; and Fig.2 shows the embodiment of the invention of Fig.1 in which the webs are in the second position.
  • a tissue repair system 10 comprising a first web consisting of a piece of cloth 12 and a second web consisting of a piece of cloth 14.
  • the first piece of cloth 12 comprises wales of crochet knitted filaments 16, 18 which are interconnected via a laid in weft 20.
  • the second piece of cloth 14 comprises wales 22, 24 and laid in weft 26.
  • the pieces of cloth 12, 14 are arranged such that the wales 16, 18, 22, 24 run substantially parallel to one another.
  • a monofilament thread 28 passes through the inner wales 18, 22 at intervals along their lengths thus providing loops 34.
  • the thread 28 extends from each end of the wales 18, 22, so as to provide free ends 30, 32.
  • tissue repair system 10 as shown in Fig.1 is placed across the tissue to be repaired such as wounded skin and opposite edges of the torn tissue (not shown) are sutured to the respective pieces of cloth 12, 14. Once this has been completed the free ends 30, 32 of the thread 28 are pulled in opposite directions as shown by the arrows A in Fig.1.
  • the free ends of the thread 30, 32 are tied together so as to prevent the tension of the tissue from causing the tissue repair system 10 from returning to the first position as shown in Fig.1.
  • the repair system is fixed to the tissue to be repaired by sutures.
  • the repair system can be fastened to the tissue to be repaired in other ways.
  • the system can be fixed by means of pins, staples, adhesive or the like.
  • such means are preferably of biodegradable or i plantable material which can be left in place.
  • Adhesives suitable for securing fabrics together are known. Adhesive can be applied at the time when the system is used or when the system is manufactured and protected by a release paper or the like. If desired the adhesive can be included in the system in the form of adhesive pads. In the case of the repair of upholstery fabric the repair system can be located on the underside of the torn fabric so that it is completely concealed when the draw thread is tensioned and the torn edges brought together.

Abstract

Un système de réparation comprenant une première bande et une seconde bande (12, 14) de préférence textile qui sont espacées l'une de l'autre, et qu'on peut appliquer au tissu à réparer, ainsi qu'un fil (28) qui passe par intervalles entre lesdites bandes. Lorsqu'on tire soit une extrémité soit les deux extrémités dutit fil, les bandes sont rapprochées.
