該顎部材の各々は、該顎部材の間に保持された組織を通して電気外科エネルギーを連絡するための、導電性密封プレートを備え、
該顎部材のうちの少なくとも1つが、該顎部材の長さに沿って規定されるナイフチャネルを備え、該ナイフチャネルは、該ナイフチャネルに沿って切断機構を往復させるような寸法にされる、第一のシャフト部材および第二のシャフト部材;ならびに
該切断機構を、第一の位置から少なくとも1つの引き続く位置へと選択的に進めるためのアクチュエータであって、該第一の位置において、該切断機構は、該顎部材の間に保持される組織の近位に位置し、そして該少なくとも1つの引き続く位置において、該切断機構は、該顎部材の間に保持される組織の遠位に位置し、該アクチュエータが、ラックおよびピニオンシステムと協働するトリガを備え、該切断機構を、該顎部材の間に保持された組織を通して、該第一の位置から第二の位置へと進める、アクチュエータ、
を備える、開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目2)
前記ラックおよびピニオンシステムが、以下:
前記トリガに接続された、第一のギア様ラック;
前記切断機構に接続された、第二のギア様ラック;および
該第一のラックと第二のラックとの間に配置されたピニオン、
を備える、項目1に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目3)
前記ラックおよびピニオンシステムが、前記第一のシャフト部材および第二のシャフト部材のうちの1つの内部に配置される、項目1に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目4)
前記アクチュエータの前記トリガが近位に引かれ、前記ラックおよびピニオンシステムを作動させ、切断スロットを介して前記切断機構を遠位に進める、項目1に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目5)
前記顎部材が前記第一の位置に位置する場合に、前記切断機構の往復を防止するための、安全ロックアウトをさらに備える、項目1に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目6)
前記安全ロックアウトが、前記顎部材のうちの少なくとも1つの一部分を形成する、項目5に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目7)
前記安全ロックアウトが、前記切断機構の一部分を形成する、項目5に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目8)
前記切断機構を前記第一の位置に自動的に付勢するための、少なくとも1つのばねをさらに備える、項目1に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目9)
前記切断機構を前記第一の位置に自動的に戻す前記少なくとも1つのばねが、該切断機構に機械的に関連している、項目8に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目10)
第一のラックが、前記トリガと一体的に関連している、項目2に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
(項目11)
第二のラックが、前記切断機構と一体的に関連している、項目2に記載の組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセット。
本開示は、組織を密封するための開胸電気外科ピンセットに関し、このピンセットは、1対の第一のシャフト部材および第二のシャフト部材を備え、各シャフト部材が、その遠位端に配置された顎部材を有する。これらの顎部材は、互いに対して間隔を空けた関係にある第一の位置から、少なくとも1つの引き続く位置へと移動可能であり、この引き続く位置において、これらの顎部材は、これらの間に組織を把持するように協働する。これらの顎部材の各々は、導電性密封プレートまたは密封表面を、内側に面する表面に備え、これらのプレートまたは表面は、これらの顎部材の間に保持された組織を通して電気外科エネルギーを連絡させる。好ましくは、これらの顎部材のうちの1つは、その長手軸方向長さに沿って規定されるナイフスロットまたはナイフチャネルを備え、このスロットまたはチャネルは、顎部材の間に保持された組織を切断するために、このスロットまたはチャネルに沿って切断機構を往復させるような寸法にされる。アクチュエータが、この切断機構を第一の位置から少なくとも1つの引き続く位置へと選択的に進めるために備えられ、この第一の位置において、この切断機構は、顎部材の間に保持された組織の近位に配置され、そしてこの引き続く位置において、この切断機構は、顎部材の間に保持された組織の遠位に配置される。
ここで図1から7を参照すると、開胸外科手順において使用するためのピンセット10は、細長シャフト部分12aおよび12bを備え、これらの部分の各々は、それぞれ、近位端14a、14b、および遠位端16a、16bを有する。図面および以下の説明において、用語「近位」とは、伝統的であるように、ピンセット10の、使用者により近い端部をいい、一方で、用語「遠位」とは、使用者からより遠い端部をいう。
