Description
本発明は、広くには、組織アンカー、送入方法、および関連の治療法に関する。本発明の1つ以上の実施形態によるアンカーは、優れた引き抜き抵抗、安定性をもたらすことができ、いくつかの実施形態においては、最小限の貫入量にて組織との接触を最大にすることができる。送入方法は、組織の表面に沿い、組織の表面に向かい、あるいは組織の表面の中でのアンカーの直線状、横方向、または斜めの埋め込みまたは駆動を含む。
関連出願の説明
本明細書に記載されるアンカーは、人体の全体において使用可能であり、ファスナの技術分野へと広く適用される。そのようなアンカーを使用して、同種または異種の材料または組織を一体に接合または固定し、材料の整列を維持し、材料内の割れを補強し、さらには材料の表面に沿い、あるいは材料の表面の内側に取り付け部位をもたらすことができる。一般に、この技術分野は、ステープラおよびねじの両者を含む。例えば、Hoffmanの米国特許第7,131,973号が、尿失禁の治療のためのアンカーおよび送入システムを開示している。器具のハンドルを引くことによってアンカーの逆行送入が達成されるよう、送入ツールの遠位部が湾曲しており、フックが設けられている。McGarryらの米国特許第5,366,479号が、ステープラおよび送入システムを開示している。ステープラは平坦であるが、内向きに湾曲した1対の突起を含んでいる。McGuireらの米国特許第5,391,170号が、靱帯再生手術の一部として靱帯トンネルに骨用ねじを挿入するための角度のついたねじ回しを開示している。Asnisらの米国特許第5,217,462号が、ねじを保持および解放すべく協働するねじ山付きの軸およびスリーブを有するねじおよびドライバの組み合わせを開示している。Liの米国特許第5,002,550号が、棘を有する縫合糸アンカー、および縫合糸を取り付けるための湾曲針を備える設置ツールを開示している。
湾曲アンカー
本発明の1つ以上の実施形態によるアンカー(ステープラ、くぎ、ならびに他の固定または接合装置を含む)は、その一部分または全体が弓形であってよく、あるいは曲線を成してよい。曲率半径(曲線のきつさまたは緩やかさ)は、実施形態ごとにさまざまであってよく、円のうちのアンカーに相当する部分も、実施形態ごとにさまざまであってよい。例えば、90度の湾曲を有するアンカーは、円の1/4を呈すると考えられる。また、0〜180度の間の他の湾曲の範囲も可能である。例えば、いくつかの実施形態においては、湾曲が約15、30、45、60、75、90、120、150、または180度である。
アンカー送入ツール
次に、図2に目を向けると、本発明の1つ以上の態様によるアンカーおよび送入器具の好ましい実施形態が示されている。ガイド本体4が、円柱形のグリップまたは手持ち部、ならびに第1の近位端および第2の遠位端を有している。本体4は、部分的または完全に中空であってよく、アンカーまたはステープラ3を保持して配向させるための案内路チャンバ5を含んでおり、案内路チャンバ5は、ガイド本体の遠位端の開口を終端としている。開口を、本体の前部から軸方向に向けることができ、あるいは横方向に向けて側方に取り付けることができる。案内路チャンバ5は、湾曲または屈曲したスロットまたは通路を有しており、ガイド本体の長軸に対して直角または斜め(または、0〜180の間)に開いている。通路に沿った曲率半径は、一定であっても、湾曲の推移に沿って変化していてもよい。湾曲したくぎまたはステープラ3を、横装填窓を介してチャンバ5内に挿入することができる。押し棒1が、本体4内に保持され、あるいは本体4によって保持され、案内路チャンバにアクセスし、あるいは案内路チャンバに連絡する。押し棒1は、打ち込みのためのヘッドまたは打撃面を備えて構成できる第1の近位端と、案内路チャンバ5内のくぎ、ステープラ、またはアンカー3の端部へと力を伝達するための第2の遠位端とを有している。遠位端またはアンビルは、ステープラ3をチャンバ5の湾曲スロットを通って押し出すときに、押し棒の直線力を下向きに伝達でき、あるいは円弧に沿って伝達できるよう、湾曲していても、面取りされていても、あるいは屈曲していてもよい。押し棒1は、剛であっても、あるいは少なくとも部分的に柔軟な構成であってもよい。
直角に駆動されるアンカー
本明細書に提示されるアンカーの種々の実施形態は、外科的なアクセスならびに縫合糸またはアンカーの取り付け部の配置によって制限される従来からの骨用ねじおよびステープラの弱点を改善すべく設計されている。例えば、脊椎の環境において、面関節、脊柱管、神経孔、および脊髄の繊細な神経組織を形成している椎体の前側のエレメントが、手術および診断ならびに介入的な方法にとって多数の障害を生む。外科的手法は、これらの構造への傷を最小限にするように構成されており、通常は、目標とする組織に対して角度がずれている狭い窓を使用する。
実施例
以下の実施例は、本発明の一実施形態を説明するものであり、決して本発明を限定しようとするものではない。さらに、以下の実施例は、背骨用として使用されるアンカーを説明しているが、本明細書に記載のアンカーは、人体の全体において使用することが可能であり、ファスナの技術分野へと幅広く適用することができる。そのようなアンカーを使用して、同種または異種の材料または組織を一体に接合または固定し、材料の整列を維持し、材料の割れを補強し、さらには材料の表面に沿った取り付け部または材料の表面の内部の取り付け部をもたらすことができる。
