Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Abdichtvorrichtung für ein Katheter- oder Instrumenten-Einführbesteck gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a sealing device for a catheter or instrument introducer according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges System ist bereits aus der DE 32 42 870 A1 bekannt, wo Abdichtvorrichtungen an Pinzetten- Einführungsöffnungen von Endoskopen beschrieben werden, die durch Magnetkraft geschlossen werden. Bei den dort dargestellten Abdichtvorrichtungen ist jedoch weder eine sichere Abdichtung verschiedener Querschnitte des eingeführten Instrumentes, noch ein willkürliches Öffnen oder Schließen der Abdichtung von außen möglich. In der US 38 33 003 ist ein Abdichtsystem beschrieben, das eine Abdichtung größerer Blutgefäße durch einen intravasku­ lären Ballonkatheter ermöglicht. Die in DE-GM 77 36 389 dargestellte "Abdichtung einer Trokarhülse oder eines Schaftrohres in der Bauchdecke" stellt ebenfalls eine nach außen wirkende Abdichtvorrichtung dar, die sich jedoch nicht auf die Abdichtung von Instrumenten oder Kathetern bezieht, die durch die Trokarhülse eingeführt werden. Such a system is already known from DE 32 42 870 A1 known where sealing devices on tweezers Insertion openings of endoscopes are described, which are closed by magnetic force. With those over there shown sealing devices is, however, neither Safe sealing of different cross sections of the introduced instrument, still an arbitrary opening or closing the seal from the outside. In the US 38 33 003 a sealing system is described, the one Sealing larger blood vessels with an intravascu allows clear balloon catheters. DE-GM 77 36 389 illustrated "sealing a trocar sleeve or one Shaft tube in the abdominal wall "also represents a outwardly acting sealing device, which itself however not on the sealing of instruments or Refers to catheters inserted through the trocar sleeve will.  

Bei Eingriffen operativer- oder nichtoperativer Art in Hohlorgane oder Systeme von Hohlorganen (z. B. das Blutgefäßsystem) stellt sich häufig das Problem, Katheter oder andere Instrumente durch eine mittels Schnitt oder Stich geschaffene Öffnung einzuführen. Dies bietet keine Schwierigkeiten, solange der Durchmesser des einzuführenden Instrumentes klein und über die Länge gleichmäßig groß ist, und zwischen dem Inneren des punktierten Organs und der Umgebung kein zu großer Druckunterschied herrscht. Allerdings wirkt es erschwerend, wenn das eingeführte Instrument häufig aus dem Hohlorgan entfernt und wieder eingeführt werden soll, was z. B. bei Wechsel der Instrumentengröße oder bei einer Entfernung von Material aus dem Hohlorgan notwendig wird.In the event of surgical or non-surgical interventions in Hollow organs or systems of hollow organs (e.g. the Blood vessel system) often presents the problem, catheter or other instruments by means of a cut or Introduce stitch created opening. This does not offer Difficulties as long as the diameter of the inserted Instrument is small and uniform over the length, and between the inside of the dotted organ and the There is not too great a pressure difference in the environment. However, it is aggravating if the introduced Instrument often removed from the hollow organ and again should be introduced what z. B. when changing Instrument size or when removing material the hollow organ becomes necessary.

Um diese Maßnahmen zu erleichtern werden bisher routinemäßig sogenannte Einführbestecke oder "Schleusen" verwendet, die vorwiegend aus einem Stück sehr dünnwandigen Kunststoff- Schlauches bestehen, der über einen Stich in das gewünschte Hohlorgan eingelegt wird und somit eine Verbindung des Innenraumes mit der Außenwelt schafft, durch die problemlos Katheter und die notwendigen Instrumente eingeführt werden können. Besteht zwischen dem Innenraum des Hohlorganes und dem äußeren Umfeld ein nennenswerter Druckunterschied, der aufrechterhalten werden soll, so ist am äußeren Ende des Schlauches eine Einrichtung angebracht, die über eine gelochte oder geschlitzte Gummischeibe oder ein profiliertes Elastomer-Teil, das von dem hindurchgeführten Instrument verformt und aufgedehnt wird und sich eng an das eingeführte Gerät anlegt, eine Abdichtung herbeiführt.So far, to facilitate these measures have been routine so-called introducers or "locks" used that predominantly from a piece of very thin-walled plastic Hose exist, which has a stitch in the desired one Hollow organ is inserted and thus a connection of the Creates interior space with the outside world through which easily Catheters and the necessary instruments are introduced can. Exists between the interior of the hollow organ and a noteworthy pressure difference in the external environment, the is to be maintained, so is at the outer end of the Hose attached to a device that has a  perforated or slotted rubber washer or a profiled Elastomeric part from the instrument passed through it is deformed and stretched and closely conforms to the introduced Applies device, creates a seal.

Die Nachteile einer solchen Abdichtung sind folgende:The disadvantages of such a seal are as follows:

  • 1. Bei Verwendung von Kathetern oder Instrumenten mit sehr großem Durchmesser (z. B. Ballonkathetern für die Auf­ weitung von Aortenklappen) ist eine zuverlässige Abdichtung über den gesamten Durchmesserbereich (z. B. 0 mm bis ca. 6 cm Durchmesser) oft nicht zu erreichen.1. When using catheters or instruments with very large diameter (e.g. balloon catheters for opening dilation of aortic valves) is a reliable one Sealing across the entire diameter range (e.g. 0 mm up to approx. 6 cm diameter) often cannot be reached.
  • 2. Müssen empfindliche Instrumente oder Katheter durch die Abdichtung in den Schlauch eingeführt werden, so besteht die Gefahr, daß sie durch den mechanischen Widerstand, der zur Verformung der elastischen Abdichtung überwunden werden muß, beschädigt oder zerstört werden (z. B. Führungsdrähte an Atherektomie-Kathetern).2. Need sensitive instruments or catheters through the Seal to be inserted into the hose, so there is a risk that the mechanical Resistance to deformation of the elastic Sealing must be overcome, damaged or destroyed (e.g. guide wires on Atherectomy catheters).
  • 3. Sollen mit Hilfe von Kathetern Gewebe oder Fremdkörper aus dem Hohlorgan entfernt werden, so besteht die Gefahr, daß die an der Katheterspitze durch Unterdruck oder andere Haltemechanismen festgehaltenen Körper durch die elastische Dichtung abgestreift werden und so verloren gehen.3. Should use tissue or foreign objects with the help of catheters are removed from the hollow organ, so there is Danger of negative pressure on the tip of the catheter or other holding mechanisms be stripped by the elastic seal and so get lost.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Abdichtvorrichtung für Katheter- und Instrumenten- Einführbestecke derart weiterzubilden, daß auch bei unterschiedlichen Querschnitten des Katheters beziehungsweise Instrumentes ein sicheres Abdichten, beziehungsweise Freigeben des Querschnittes durch Beeinflussung der Abdichtung von außen ermöglicht wird.The object of the invention is a Sealing device for catheter and instrument Introduce introductory tools in such a way that also at different cross sections of the catheter or instruments a secure seal, or release the cross section through Influencing the seal from the outside is made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Abdichtvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This task is the sealing device initially mentioned type according to the invention by characterizing part of claim 1 specified features solved. Advantageous embodiments are in the Subclaims specified.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren erläutert.The invention is described below with reference to the figures explained.

Die Fig. 1a, 1b, 1c zeigen die Wirkungsweise der Abdichtvorrichtung. FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1c show the operation of the sealing device.

Die Fig. 1d zeigt eine Abdichtvorrichtung bei der der Hohlkörper mehrere Kammern besitzt. Fig. 1d shows a sealing device wherein the hollow body has a plurality of chambers.

Gemäß Fig. 2 wird alleine oder zusätzlich zu einer Abdichtung des äußeren Dichtsystems/Schleuse 20 eine elastische, schleifende Abdichtung 7 ein hydraulisch oder pneumatisch einstellbarer Hohlkörper 1 eingeführt, der es gestattet, von außen durch Füllen oder Entleeren mit einem strömungsfähigen Medium über den Anschluß 2 sowohl den Durchlaß vollkommen abzudichten oder freizugeben, als auch jedem hindurchgeführten Instrument anzupassen. Dabei ist es durch Füllen des Hohlkörpers 1 mit nicht zu hohem Druck auch möglich, sowohl eine Abdichtung, als auch eine leichte Verschiebbarkeit der hindurchgeführten Katheter oder Instrumente zu erreichen (Fig. 1a bis 1c). FIG. 2 is used alone or an elastic abrasive seal 7 is inserted in addition to a sealing of the external sealing system / sheath 20, a hydraulically or pneumatically adjustable hollow body 1, which makes it possible, from the outside by filling or emptying a fluid medium through the terminal 2 both to completely seal or unblock the passage and to adapt it to any instrument passed through it. By filling the hollow body 1 with a pressure that is not too high, it is also possible to achieve both sealing and easy displacement of the catheters or instruments passed through ( FIGS. 1a to 1c).

Bei kombiniertem Einsatz sind die beiden Abdichtvorrichtungen 1 und 7 voneinander räumlich getrennt angebracht und werden durch eine transparente Kammer 4 verbunden. Der von außen einstellbare Hohlkörper 1 ist dabei an der dem Hohlorgan zugewendeten Seite der Kammer 4 angebracht.When used in combination, the two sealing devices 1 and 7 are spatially separated from one another and are connected by a transparent chamber 4 . The externally adjustable hollow body 1 is attached to the side of the chamber 4 facing the hollow organ.

Diese Kammer 4 ist an jedem Ende mit Seitenanschlüssen 5 und 6 versehen, die es ermöglichen, die Kammer 4 zu spülen, um eine optimale Durchsicht zu gewähren und Fremdkörper durch Spülung aus der Kammer 4 zu entfernen.This chamber 4 is provided at each end with side connections 5 and 6 , which make it possible to rinse the chamber 4 in order to ensure optimum visibility and to remove foreign bodies from the chamber 4 by rinsing.

Die transparente Kammer 4 ist durch eine - ohne Werkzeug - schnell zu lösende Verbindung 3 an dem Stutzen beziehungsweise Schleusenkörper 10 befestigt, so daß größere Fremdkörper problemlos aus der Kammer 4 entfernt werden können und andere Katheter (eventuell mit anderen Kammern und Abdichtungen) eingesetzt werden können. Empfindliche Katheter können bei geschlossenem Schleusenkörper 10 in Ruhe und ohne Druckausgleich/ Blutverlust - unter Verwendung eines dünnwandigen Rohres zum Offenhalten der Dichtmembran durch das äußere Dichtsystem 20 geführt werden. Daraufhin kann der Katheter - nach Entfernen des Rohres zum Einführen - ohne mechanische Belastung der Spitze durch den inzwischen geöffneten Hohlkörper 1 im Schleusenkörper 10 in das Hohlorgan vorgeschoben werden.The transparent chamber 4 is fastened to the connection piece or lock body 10 by a connection 3 which can be quickly removed without tools, so that larger foreign bodies can be removed from the chamber 4 without problems and other catheters (possibly with other chambers and seals) can be used . With the sluice body 10 closed, sensitive catheters can be guided through the outer sealing system 20 at rest and without pressure equalization / blood loss - using a thin-walled tube to keep the sealing membrane open. The catheter can then - after removing the tube for insertion - be pushed into the hollow organ through the now open hollow body 1 in the lock body 10 without mechanical loading of the tip.

Die Größe und Form der Kammer 4, sowie Art und Größe der äußeren Abdichtung 7 läßt sich der geplanten Anwendung anpassen. Auch während des Vorgehens läßt sich die Kammer 4 mit ihrer äußeren Abdichtung 7 leicht gegen eine andere austauschen, ohne daß es bei gefülltem Hohlkörper 1, das heißt geschlossenem Schleusenkörper 10, zu einem Blutverlust, Druckausgleich o. ä. kommt.The size and shape of the chamber 4 , as well as the type and size of the outer seal 7 can be adapted to the planned application. Even during the procedure, the chamber 4 with its outer seal 7 can easily be exchanged for another without a loss of blood, pressure equalization or the like occurring when the hollow body 1 is filled, that is to say the lock body 10 is closed.

Durch die Konstruktion der inneren Abdichtung mit dem Hohlkörper 1 ist gewährleistet, daß Gewebe oder Materialien, die mittels eines Katheters o. ä. aus dem Hohlorgan entfernt werden sollen nicht durch den Hohlkörper 1 von dem Katheter abgestreift werden und somit verlorengehen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Innenraum des dehnbaren Hohlkörpers 1 mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt wird, sich dieser dem Druckgefälle folgend eng an die Innenwandung des Schleusenkörpers 10 anlegt und somit den vollen Querschnitt freigibt (Fig. 1a).The construction of the inner seal with the hollow body 1 ensures that tissues or materials which are to be removed from the hollow organ by means of a catheter or the like are not stripped by the hollow body 1 from the catheter and are therefore lost. This is achieved in that the interior of the expandable hollow body 1 is subjected to negative pressure, which, following the pressure drop, presses tightly against the inner wall of the lock body 10 and thus releases the full cross section ( FIG. 1a).

Querschnitt, Länge und Form des Hohlkörpers 1 können den Anforderungen entsprechend gewählt werden. Je nach abzudichtendem Querschnitt sind dafür eine oder mehrere Kammern, die gleichzeitig oder getrennt voneinander gefüllt werden vorzusehen (Fig. 1a, Fig. 1d). Der Hohlkörper 1 ist aus einem dehnbaren, weichen und flexiblen aber dennoch reißfesten Material gefertigt (Natur- oder Synthesekautschuk oder Weichkunststoff, eventuell textilverstärkt).The cross section, length and shape of the hollow body 1 can be chosen according to the requirements. Depending be sealed cross-section for one or more chambers that are filled to provide simultaneously or separately from each other (Fig. 1a, Fig. 1d). The hollow body 1 is made of a stretchable, soft and flexible but nevertheless tear-resistant material (natural or synthetic rubber or soft plastic, possibly textile-reinforced).
