本特許文書のなかの一部は米国および他の国の著作権法の下で著作権保護の対象となる。特許文書または特許開示が米国特許商標庁において公に供されるファイルまたは記録に現れた場合に、著作権者はその特許文書または特許開示がだれに複製されたとしてもそれに反対するものではない。しかし、そうでない場合はいかなる場合でも全ての著作権を留保する。ここで著作権者は、37C.F.R.セクション1.14に従う権利を非限定的に含む権利のいずれをも、この特許文書を秘密にしておくために放棄するものではない。
近年、椎体形成術および椎骨形成術に使用される手術手技を通じて、侵襲性が最小限の方法によって椎体に接近する技術が開発されてきた。柄(pedicle)を通って脊椎骨の本体の側部/前部の内部に向かって脊椎の脊椎分節に接近するのは、治療装置(たとえば骨セメント搬送装置および/またはRFプローブ)を脊椎骨の内部に配置するための主要な方法である。しかし、プローブを脊椎骨の後中部に配置するのは難しい。さらに、直線状の接近経路によって脊椎のS1分節の後中部に接近するのは難しい。プローブは、腰部の脊椎分節の内部における同じ標的領域だけではなく、S1椎体の後部まで進むことができる必要があることが好ましい。加えて、頚椎中および胸椎中の脊髄分節が標的にされうることも想定される。
遠位端に中心経路と開口部とを有するトロカールと、
前記中心経路に収容される大きさであり、前記遠位端の開口部に搬送される湾曲カニューレと、を含み、
湾曲カニューレは、あらかじめ形成された湾曲部を備えた湾曲可能な先端部を有することにより、トロカールを通って搬送される間は先端部がまっすぐとなり、トロカールの遠位端の開口部を出て伸長した時にあらかじめ形成された湾曲部に戻ることにより、湾曲可能な先端部のあらかじめ形成された湾曲部に対応する湾曲経路を骨の内部に形成し、
湾曲カニューレは、治療装置が中央通路を通って湾曲経路を越えた位置へと搬送されるように構成された直径を有する中央通路を含むことを特徴とする骨の内部に経路を通すためのシステム。
トロカールの内部に搭載できるよう構成された直線状探り針をさらに含み、
直線状探り針は、トロカールが骨の内部の治療位置にまで搬送される時に、トロカールの遠位端の開口部を越えて伸長することにより骨に穴をあけるよう構成された鋭利な遠位端を含むことを特徴とする実施の形態2に記載のシステム。
湾曲カニューレの内部に搭載できるよう構成された矯正用探り針をさらに含み、
矯正用探り針は、トロカールの内部に配置された時に、湾曲カニューレの遠位端を矯正するよう構成された剛性構造を含むことを特徴とする実施の形態2に記載のシステム。
矯正用探り針は、骨に穴を開けるための鋭利な遠位端をさらに含み、
矯正用探り針および湾曲カニューレは、トロカールが骨の内部へと搬送される時に、直線状探り針に代えてトロカールの内部に搭載されるよう構成されていることを特徴とする実施の形態3に記載のシステム。
湾曲カニューレの中央通路の内部に適合する大きさの外半径を有する湾曲探り針をさらに含み、
湾曲探り針は、トロカールの遠位端の開口部を越えて湾曲カニューレが伸長する間、湾曲カニューレの内部に搭載されるよう構成され、骨の内部へと搬送される間、湾曲カニューレの遠位端の開口部を閉鎖するよう構成されていることを特徴とする実施の形態1に記載のシステム。
湾曲探り針は、湾曲カニューレの湾曲部に対応する湾曲した遠位端を有することを特徴とする実施の形態5に記載のシステム。
湾曲探り針は、トロカールの遠位端の開口部を越えてカニューレが搬送される時に、湾曲カニューレを越えて伸長することにより、骨に穴を開けるよう構成された鋭利な遠位端を有することを特徴とする実施の形態5に記載のシステム。
湾曲探り針および湾曲カニューレは、湾曲探り針の湾曲部と湾曲カニューレの湾曲部とを整列させるはめ合い式の近位端を有することを特徴とする実施の形態7に記載のシステム。
湾曲探り針を取り除いた後にカニューレの内部に搭載されるよう構成された直線状の誘導用探り針をさらに含み、
直線状の誘導用探り針は、柔軟に変形可能であることにより、湾曲カニューレから外に出る時に直線形状を保持している湾曲カニューレを誘導し、湾曲カニューレよりも長さが長いことにより、完全に伸長した場合に湾曲カニューレの遠位端を越えて直線状経路を形成することを特徴とする実施の形態5に記載のシステム。
遠位端に中心経路と開口部とを有するトロカールを、治療位置近傍の骨の領域の内部へと挿入するステップと、
あらかじめ形成された湾曲部を有する湾曲可能な先端部を含むことにより、トロカールを通って搬送される間は先端部がまっすぐとなり、トロカールから外に出る時にあらかじめ形成された湾曲部が元に戻るカニューレを、前記中心経路を通って前記遠位端の開口部にまで搬送するステップと、
トロカールの遠位端の開口部を越えてカニューレを伸長させることにより、湾曲可能な先端部のあらかじめ形成された湾曲部に対応する湾曲経路を骨の中に形成するステップと、
前記カニューレの中央通路を通って湾曲経路を越えて治療位置にまで治療装置を搬送するステップと、を含むことを特徴とする患者の体内で骨の内部に治療位置まで経路を通す方法。
トロカールを骨の領域の内部へと挿入するステップは、
探り針をトロカールの内部へと挿入することにより、探り針がトロカールの遠位端の開口部を越えて伸張するステップと、
探り針とトロカールとを同時に骨の領域の内部へと挿入することにより、トロカールが治療位置にまで搬送される時に、探り針が骨に穴を開けるステップと、を含むことを特徴とする実施の形態10に記載の方法。
中心経路を通ってカニューレを搬送するステップは、
