Description
本開示は、内視鏡外科的処置を実行する電気外科用器具および方法に関し、さらに特定すると、本開示は、開放または内視鏡双極電気外科用鉗子ならびに組織を封着および/または切断する方法に関する。
止血剤または鉗子は、簡単なプライヤー様器具であり、これは、そのジョー間での機械的な作用を使用して血管を締め付け、通例、組織を握り、切り裂き、そして/またはクランプ留めするために、開放外科的処置で使用されている。電気外科用鉗子は、組織および血管を加熱して組織を凝固、焼灼および/または封着することにより止血を行うために、機械的クランプ留め作用および電気的エネルギーの両方を利用する。
本発明の開示は、組織をクランプ留めし、封着し、そして分割する電気外科用鉗子に関する。さらに特定すると、本開示は、電気外科用鉗子に関し、これは、対向ジョー部材間の組織に加えられる全体的なクランプ圧力の一貫性を生じ、対向ジョー部材間の間隙距離を調節し、起動中に対向ジョー部材が短絡する可能性を少なくし、この鉗子は、非導電性ストップ部材(これは、組織の起動および分割中またはその前にて、組織を操作し、つかみ、そして保持するのを助ける)、および独特の設計の電気ケーブル経路を提供し、これは、この器具の本体を通って、対向ジョー部材に至り、組織の操作、封着および分割中に起動が不規則になる可能性を少なくする。
さて、図1〜6を参照すると、種々の外科的手順と併用する双極鉗子10の1実施形態が示されており、これは、一般に、ハウジング20、ハンドルアセンブリ30、回転アセンブリ80、引き金アセンブリ70およびエンドエフェクタアセンブリ100を含み、これらは、相互に協働して、管状血管および血管組織420(図20)を握り、封着し、そして分割する。図面の過半数は、内視鏡外科的手順と関連して使用する双極鉗子10を描写しているものの、開放鉗子10’もまた、伝統的な開放外科的手順と関連して使用が企図されており、図1Aで一例として示されている。本明細書の目的のために、この内視鏡形式のものが詳述されているが、しかしながら、開放鉗子10’もまた、下記のように、同じまたは類似した動作部品および機構を含むことが企図される。
