Description
WOUND RETRACTOR
Background of the Invention Field of the Invention This invention generally relates to medical devices and, more specifically, to an improved wound retractor providing ease of incremental retraction and alignment to fit a wide range of incision sizes, including audible and tactile feedback to the user.
Discussion of the Prior Art Surgery typically involves making an incision large enough to accommodate a surgeon's hand and/or multiple instruments. The incision must be kept clean since it is susceptible to infection if touched by diseased body parts and/or contaminated instruments. As such, wound protectors are available to insure that exposed sides of an incision are covered and protected from contaminants. A common deficiency of wound protectors is their lack of ease of retraction adjustability and stability. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,524,644 and 6,382,211, both to Crook, attempt to address this deficiency with a wound protector including an outer ring having an oblate cross-section and opposed flat surfaces that allegedly provide retraction adjustability and stability. The oblate design of the outer ring of Crook, however, provides only limited incremental retraction and can be difficult to twist or turn. In addition, the Crook design does not provide for an audible feedback to the user. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an improved wound retractor that can be easily retracted to fit a wide range of incision sizes. The improved wound retractor preferably provides audible and/or tactile feedback to the user during retraction.
Summary of the Invention An incrementally adjustable wound retractor for sealing edges of a surgical incision and forming an opening in a patient's body cavity, the wound retractor comprising an inner ring, an outer ring and a flexible sleeve connecting the inner ring and the outer ring. The wound retractor provides a path for a surgeon to insert his hand and/or instruments through the opening formed by the wound retractor. The wound retractor is incrementally adjustable to fit a wide range of incision sizes. The wound retractor is installed or placed in a body cavity such that the inner and outer rings expand around inner and outer edges of the incision. Any portion of the flexible sleeve extending outside the incision can be easily rolled onto the outer ring to tightly seal the sides of the wound. The outer ring is preferably shaped to provide audible and/or tactile feedback to the user. In particular, the" outer ring includes.surfaces that are easy to grip and turn to allow the user to manually turn the outer ring and roll up the flexible sleeve with ease. The outer ring may be solid or include a lumen with a rod placed therein to provide audible signal to the user as the outer ring is turned.
These and other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent with a discussion of preferred embodiments in reference to the associated drawings.

Description of Preferred Embodiments and Best Mode of the Invention FIG. I illustrates a wound retractor 100 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention. The wound retractor 100 comprises a double-tube outer ring 102, an inner ring 104, and a distensible sleeve 106 connecting the outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104. The sleeve 106 may be attached to the outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104 by heat seal or adhesive. The outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104 are preferably made of a material of sufficient hardness to retain their shape after twisting and rolling of the rings. That is, the material must be compliant enough to allow the outer ring 102 to be turned around its annular axis as further described below and illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2d.
The shape of the outer ring 102 affects both its ability to grip and to provide stability during and after adjustment. The sleeve 106 is preferably made of a material that is flexible and impermeable to fluids and bacteria. The double-tube outer ring 102 preferably comprises a first circular tube 108 and a second circular tube 110 joined together by a small web 112. Each of the circular tubes 108 and 110 may be solid or include a lumen.
FIGS. 2a-2d illustrate the retraction and adjustment of the outer ring 102 to fit an incision. In accordance with the invention, the wound retractor 100 is axially adjustable in increments. In particular, the upper end of the sleeve can be wrapped around the outer ring 102 so as to tightly seal the sides or edges of the incision. The unique shape of the outer ring 102 provides for an easy snap action when rolled about itself. The outer ring 102 also provides for incremental shortening of the sleeve 106 and for stability after installation. FIG. 3 illustrates a longitudinal cross-section view of the wound retractor 100 taken along line A-A.
FIG. 4 illustrates a process of installing the wound retractor 100 in a wound opening 400. An incision in the shape of a slit is first made in a patient's body, e.g., the abdominal wall. The inner ring 104 and the sleeve 106 are then manually inserted into body cavity 402 through the incision with the outer ring 102 remaining external to the body cavity 402. Once the inner ring 104 is within the body cavity 402, it expands around the inner surface of the incision so as to be generally parallel to the abdominal wall. The sleeve 106 provides a channel from the outside to the inside of the body cavity 402. The outer ring 102 initially rests above the abdominal wall around the wound opening 400. Since the upper end of the sleeve 106 is connected to the outer ring 102, the sleeve 106 can be drawn upwards and radially outward or inward, thereby drawing the inner ring 104 tightly against the inner surface of the abdominal wall. Moreover, the intermediate portion of the sleeve 106 is drawn tightly against the sides and edges of the wound opening 400, thereby retracting the adjacent tissue and producing a tightly sealed opening in the body cavity 402. That is, the sleeve 106 contacts the entire wound surface and protectively covers the same and seals it from contamination and infection. Depending on the size and depth of the incision, the user can roll up the sleeve 106 by gripping the double-tube outer ring 102 and turning it in a direction 200 as illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2c until the sleeve 106 abuts the outer edge of the wound opening 400. It should be appreciated that the outer ring 102 can be turned around its annular axis in either an outward or inward direction to roll the sleeve 106.
The outer ring 102 has a unique and novel double-tube configuration wherein through simple manipulation of forcing a first tube in a first direction and a second tube in a second direction, the positions of the first and second tubes can be inverted resulting in fast and easy turning of the tubes as illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2d. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer ring 102 is rotated by pushing the bottom tube or second circular tube 110 inward while pulling the top tube or first circular tube 108 outward (see FIG. 2a). The combination of the above steps results in inversion of the first and second circular tubes as illustrated in FIG. 2d. That is, the outer ring 102 can be rotated in 180 turns thereby retracting the sleeve 106. The above process can be repeated until a desired compression or wound opening is achieved.
An advantage of the invention is it provides for an easier, faster and higher retraction rate than that known in the prior art, thereby resulting in less traumatic effects to the patient. Another advantage of the invention is it provides tactile gripping and incremental rolling of the sleeve about the outer ring. In the above description, the first and second tubes of the outer ring are in a vertical position but it should be appreciated that the first and second tubes may be in different positions relative to one another such as a horizontal position.
In another embodiment of the invention, a small wire 302 such as a stainless steel wire is placed inside a lumen of the double-tube outer ring (see FIGS. 3 and 10-13) so as to provide an audible signal as the outer ring is turned. That is, as the double-tube outer ring 102 is turned, the wire 302 deflects against the tubing wall so as to provide an audible sound feedback to the user. Another feature of the wire 302 is it provides retraction stability to the wound retractor 100.
After surgery, the wound retractor 100 may be retrieved by grabbing the inner ring 104 and the sleeve 106 and pulling them through the wound opening 400. The use of the sleeve 106 and the ease of retracting the outer ring 102 provide higher compression between the inner and outer rings. As a result, the wound retractor 100 of the invention provides incremental adjustability to fit a wide range of incision sizes and isolates and protects the wound from bacterial infection as the diseased body parts and contaminated instruments are passed through the wound.
FIGS. 5-9 and 14-16 illustrate a wound retractor 500 having a roller design in accordance with another embodiment of the invention. The wound retractor 500 comprises an outer ring 502, an inner ring 504, and a distensible sleeve connecting the outer ring 502 and the inner ring 504. The sleeve 506 can be attached to the outer ring 502 and the inner ring 504 by heat seal or adhesive.
The outer ring 502 includes a hollow tube or lumen 508 that has a fan-like shape cross-section as illustrated in FIG. 5. The outer ring 502 further comprises an inner rod 510 that has a similar fan-like geometry on its outer surface as illustrated in FIG. 6. The hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially joined to form the outer ring 502 of the wound retractor 500.
The fan-like geometry of the outer ring 502 serves as an incremental 5 rotating mechanism. In particular, when the hollow tube 508 is manually rolled out of its coaxial alignment with respect to the inner rod 510, the hollow tube 508 will index itself until it matches the next alignment point of the inner rod 510 as illustrated in FIG. 8. When the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially aligned, they lock in place preventing further indexing until the steps of 10 retracting are repeated. It is appreciated that each of the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 has at least one alignment point providing indexing and incremental rotation of the outer ring 502. That is, the outer ring 502 can incrementally retract in steps based on the number of alignment points or indexes on the fan.
FIG. 9 illustrates a process of installing the wound retractor 500 in a wound opening 900. An incision in the shape of a slit is first made in a patient's body, e.g., the abdominal wall. The inner ring 504 and the sleeve 506 are then manually inserted and positioned underneath and along the edges of the body cavity wall, and the outer ring 502 is pulled through the wound opening 900 so as to be placed outside the body cavity wall. Retraction of the sleeve 506 can then be achieved by rolling the outer ring 502 over the sleeve 506 in a direction as shown in FIG. 7 until a desired compression or wound opening is achieved.
Incremental retraction is achieved by manually rolling the hollow tube 508 out of its coaxial alignment with the inner rod 510, i.e., the hollow tube 508 can be rolled and indexed to match the next alignment point between the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510.
When the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially aligned, they lock in place preventing further indexing until the outer ring 502 is rolled out of its alignment again. This process is repeated until a desired retraction is achieved. Once surgery is complete, the wound retractor 500 can be retrieved by grabbing the inner ring 504 and the sleeve 506 and pulling them through the wound opening 900.
It is appreciated that the outer ring can be designed in various shapes and sizes to achieve various retraction rates and/or to conform with different body surfaces as illustrated in FIGS. 17a-17e. For example, the outer ring may comprise a single or multiple tubes of different shapes and sizes. The single or multiple tubes may be solid or include lumens of different shapes and sizes.
Similarly, the wound retractor having the roller design could be of various geometries. As illustrated in FIGS. 18a-181, hollow tubes 508a-5081 and inner rods 510a-5101, respectively, of the outer ring may have different shapes and sizes and may contain multiple locking mechanisms. For example, the inner rods 510b-510e and 5101 have solid rectangular cross-sections. In comparison, the inner rods 510f-510k have hollow circular cross-sections. The hollow tubes and inner rods maybe made of the same or different materials (e.g., soft and/or hard). For example, the inner rods may be rigid such as a wire or piece of metal, or they may be flexible such as an extension spring. The lumens of the hollow tubes 508a-5081 may have cross-sections of different geometries such as fan-like geometry, circular, oval, circular with lumps, triangular, rectangular, any geometric shape with multiple sides, etc. Advantages of the above embodiments of the invention include improved retraction adjustability and stability.
FIGS. 19a-19g illustrate cross-section views of additional embodiments of the outer ring of the invention having generally prolate cross-sections. That is, the longer axis of the cross-section of the outer ring is generally parallel to axis E-E as illustrated in FIG. 19a. The outer ring can be turned around the axis E-E
in either an outward or inward direction 800 to roll up the sleeve (not shown).
The outer rings of FIGS. 19a-19g provide tactile gripping and incremental rolling of the sleeve about the rings. FIG. 19b illustrates an outer ring 190 having two straight chordal surfaces 190a and 190b that are generally parallel to the axis E-E. FIG. 19c illustrates an outer ring having two straight chordal surfaces and two curved chordal surfaces. FIGS. 19d-19g illustrate outer rings having at least two curved chordal surfaces.
FIGS. 20a-20g illustrate cross-section views of the outer rings of FIGS.

Description of Preferred Embodiments and Best Mode of the Invention FIG. I illustrates a wound retractor 100 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention. The wound retractor 100 comprises a double-tube outer ring 102, an inner ring 104, and a distensible sleeve 106 connecting the outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104. The sleeve 106 may be attached to the outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104 by heat seal or adhesive. The outer ring 102 and the inner ring 104 are preferably made of a material of sufficient hardness to retain their shape after twisting and rolling of the rings. That is, the material must be compliant enough to allow the outer ring 102 to be turned around its annular axis as further described below and illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2d.
The shape of the outer ring 102 affects both its ability to grip and to provide stability during and after adjustment. The sleeve 106 is preferably made of a material that is flexible and impermeable to fluids and bacteria. The double-tube outer ring 102 preferably comprises a first circular tube 108 and a second circular tube 110 joined together by a small web 112. Each of the circular tubes 108 and 110 may be solid or include a lumen.
FIGS. 2a-2d illustrate the retraction and adjustment of the outer ring 102 to fit an incision. In accordance with the invention, the wound retractor 100 is axially adjustable in increments. In particular, the upper end of the sleeve can be wrapped around the outer ring 102 so as to tightly seal the sides or edges of the incision. The unique shape of the outer ring 102 provides for an easy snap action when rolled about itself. The outer ring 102 also provides for incremental shortening of the sleeve 106 and for stability after installation. FIG. 3 illustrates a longitudinal cross-section view of the wound retractor 100 taken along line A-A.
FIG. 4 illustrates a process of installing the wound retractor 100 in a wound opening 400. An incision in the shape of a slit is first made in a patient's body, e.g., the abdominal wall. The inner ring 104 and the sleeve 106 are then manually inserted into body cavity 402 through the incision with the outer ring 102 remaining external to the body cavity 402. Once the inner ring 104 is within the body cavity 402, it expands around the inner surface of the incision so as to be generally parallel to the abdominal wall. The sleeve 106 provides a channel from the outside to the inside of the body cavity 402. The outer ring 102 initially rests above the abdominal wall around the wound opening 400. Since the upper end of the sleeve 106 is connected to the outer ring 102, the sleeve 106 can be drawn upwards and radially outward or inward, thereby drawing the inner ring 104 tightly against the inner surface of the abdominal wall. Moreover, the intermediate portion of the sleeve 106 is drawn tightly against the sides and edges of the wound opening 400, thereby retracting the adjacent tissue and producing a tightly sealed opening in the body cavity 402. That is, the sleeve 106 contacts the entire wound surface and protectively covers the same and seals it from contamination and infection. Depending on the size and depth of the incision, the user can roll up the sleeve 106 by gripping the double-tube outer ring 102 and turning it in a direction 200 as illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2c until the sleeve 106 abuts the outer edge of the wound opening 400. It should be appreciated that the outer ring 102 can be turned around its annular axis in either an outward or inward direction to roll the sleeve 106.
The outer ring 102 has a unique and novel double-tube configuration wherein through simple manipulation of forcing a first tube in a first direction and a second tube in a second direction, the positions of the first and second tubes can be inverted resulting in fast and easy turning of the tubes as illustrated in FIGS. 2a-2d. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer ring 102 is rotated by pushing the bottom tube or second circular tube 110 inward while pulling the top tube or first circular tube 108 outward (see FIG. 2a). The combination of the above steps results in inversion of the first and second circular tubes as illustrated in FIG. 2d. That is, the outer ring 102 can be rotated in 180 turns thereby retracting the sleeve 106. The above process can be repeated until a desired compression or wound opening is achieved.
An advantage of the invention is it provides for an easier, faster and higher retraction rate than that known in the prior art, thereby resulting in less traumatic effects to the patient. Another advantage of the invention is it provides tactile gripping and incremental rolling of the sleeve about the outer ring. In the above description, the first and second tubes of the outer ring are in a vertical position but it should be appreciated that the first and second tubes may be in different positions relative to one another such as a horizontal position.
In another embodiment of the invention, a small wire 302 such as a stainless steel wire is placed inside a lumen of the double-tube outer ring (see FIGS. 3 and 10-13) so as to provide an audible signal as the outer ring is turned. That is, as the double-tube outer ring 102 is turned, the wire 302 deflects against the tubing wall so as to provide an audible sound feedback to the user. Another feature of the wire 302 is it provides retraction stability to the wound retractor 100.
After surgery, the wound retractor 100 may be retrieved by grabbing the inner ring 104 and the sleeve 106 and pulling them through the wound opening 400. The use of the sleeve 106 and the ease of retracting the outer ring 102 provide higher compression between the inner and outer rings. As a result, the wound retractor 100 of the invention provides incremental adjustability to fit a wide range of incision sizes and isolates and protects the wound from bacterial infection as the diseased body parts and contaminated instruments are passed through the wound.
FIGS. 5-9 and 14-16 illustrate a wound retractor 500 having a roller design in accordance with another embodiment of the invention. The wound retractor 500 comprises an outer ring 502, an inner ring 504, and a distensible sleeve connecting the outer ring 502 and the inner ring 504. The sleeve 506 can be attached to the outer ring 502 and the inner ring 504 by heat seal or adhesive.
The outer ring 502 includes a hollow tube or lumen 508 that has a fan-like shape cross-section as illustrated in FIG. 5. The outer ring 502 further comprises an inner rod 510 that has a similar fan-like geometry on its outer surface as illustrated in FIG. 6. The hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially joined to form the outer ring 502 of the wound retractor 500.
The fan-like geometry of the outer ring 502 serves as an incremental 5 rotating mechanism. In particular, when the hollow tube 508 is manually rolled out of its coaxial alignment with respect to the inner rod 510, the hollow tube 508 will index itself until it matches the next alignment point of the inner rod 510 as illustrated in FIG. 8. When the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially aligned, they lock in place preventing further indexing until the steps of 10 retracting are repeated. It is appreciated that each of the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 has at least one alignment point providing indexing and incremental rotation of the outer ring 502. That is, the outer ring 502 can incrementally retract in steps based on the number of alignment points or indexes on the fan.
FIG. 9 illustrates a process of installing the wound retractor 500 in a wound opening 900. An incision in the shape of a slit is first made in a patient's body, e.g., the abdominal wall. The inner ring 504 and the sleeve 506 are then manually inserted and positioned underneath and along the edges of the body cavity wall, and the outer ring 502 is pulled through the wound opening 900 so as to be placed outside the body cavity wall. Retraction of the sleeve 506 can then be achieved by rolling the outer ring 502 over the sleeve 506 in a direction as shown in FIG. 7 until a desired compression or wound opening is achieved.
Incremental retraction is achieved by manually rolling the hollow tube 508 out of its coaxial alignment with the inner rod 510, i.e., the hollow tube 508 can be rolled and indexed to match the next alignment point between the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510.
When the hollow tube 508 and the inner rod 510 are coaxially aligned, they lock in place preventing further indexing until the outer ring 502 is rolled out of its alignment again. This process is repeated until a desired retraction is achieved. Once surgery is complete, the wound retractor 500 can be retrieved by grabbing the inner ring 504 and the sleeve 506 and pulling them through the wound opening 900.
It is appreciated that the outer ring can be designed in various shapes and sizes to achieve various retraction rates and/or to conform with different body surfaces as illustrated in FIGS. 17a-17e. For example, the outer ring may comprise a single or multiple tubes of different shapes and sizes. The single or multiple tubes may be solid or include lumens of different shapes and sizes.
Similarly, the wound retractor having the roller design could be of various geometries. As illustrated in FIGS. 18a-181, hollow tubes 508a-5081 and inner rods 510a-5101, respectively, of the outer ring may have different shapes and sizes and may contain multiple locking mechanisms. For example, the inner rods 510b-510e and 5101 have solid rectangular cross-sections. In comparison, the inner rods 510f-510k have hollow circular cross-sections. The hollow tubes and inner rods maybe made of the same or different materials (e.g., soft and/or hard). For example, the inner rods may be rigid such as a wire or piece of metal, or they may be flexible such as an extension spring. The lumens of the hollow tubes 508a-5081 may have cross-sections of different geometries such as fan-like geometry, circular, oval, circular with lumps, triangular, rectangular, any geometric shape with multiple sides, etc. Advantages of the above embodiments of the invention include improved retraction adjustability and stability.

In another embodiment of the invention, access into and out of a patient's body is achieved by a hand assisted laparoscopic (HAL) procedure using a surgical access device such as the GelportTM device as described in applicant's Canadian application 2,422,782, filed on September 21, 2001, entitled "Surgical Access Apparatus and Method" while retraction is provided by the wound retractor of the present invention. The purpose of this embodiment is to combine the features and advantages of both the wound retractor of the present invention and the surgical access device as described in the PCT application. As explained in the PCT application, the current surgical access device uses a polyisoprene sheath that is wrapped distally around an O-ring, and once placed into a wound incision, the sheath is then stretched over extended tabs onto an abdominal base. The sheath of the surgical access device requires stretching and often times requires multiple attempts to secure it to the abdominal base.
A
novelty of this embodiment is to modify the cap and/or the abdominal base of the surgical access device so that it will accept the wound retractor of the present invention to replace the polyisoprene sheath and to maintain an airtight seal.
The use of the wound retractor would simplify the HAL procedure and would not require stretching.
Referring to FIG. 26, there is shown a surgical access device 1000 with slight or moderate modifications to a gel cap 1010 and to an abdominal base 1020. The gel cap 1010 further includes a gel pad 1030 and a circumferential cap ring 1040, which can be inserted and molded to the pad 1030. The resulting gel cap 1010 forms a seal with the base 1020, thereby defining a working channel through the pad 1030, the cap ring 1040, the base 1020, and the sleeve 106 of the wound retractor. In this manner, the working channel includes a single valve formed by the gel pad 1030 which provides both a zero seal and an instrument seal for a wide range of instrument diameters. Referring to FIG.

From these views, it will be noted that the base 1020e can be provided with a smooth generally cylindrical inner surface 1022e which extends proximally to a rounded end surface 1024e and outwardly from the end surface 1024e along an annular lip 1026e, which is sized and configured to fit into an annular void formed on the inner circumference of a corresponding cap ring. Proximally of the inner surface 1022e, the base 1020e can also include a rounded end surface 1028e along its inner diameter for securing the outer ring of the wound retractor once the sleeve has been shortened.
In another embodiment of the invention, FIGS. 33 and 34 illustrate a base 1020f having a smooth generally cylindrical inner surface 1022f, a rounded end surface 1024f, an annular lip 1026f, and an end surface 1028f having at least one toggle or latch 1029f sized and configured to fit a corresponding cap ring. In this embodiment, the toggle or latch 1029f operates to change the inner diameter of the cap ring to create a seal or release the cap ring from the base. In yet another embodiment of the invention, FIGS. 35 and 36 illustrate a base 1020g having a smooth generally cylindrical inner surface 1022g, a rounded end surface 1024g, an annular lip 1026g, and an end surface 1028g having a raised wall sized and configured to fit a corresponding cap ring.
An advantage associated with the modified surgical access device is it enables a surgeon to quickly retract and protectively line an abdominal wall incision while being able to easily accommodate variations from patient to patient in the thickness of the abdominal wall. In addition, the device effectively seals around the interior and exterior of the incision, and allows a sealing cap to be attached to seal the abdominal cavity and to enable a laparoscopic procedure to be performed.
Many alterations and modifications may be made by those having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
For these reasons, the above description should not be construed as limiting the invention, but should be interpreted as merely exemplary of preferred embodiments.
