Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des tissus ou nappes textiles à usage chirurgical destinés à être implantés pour assurer le renfort de régions musculaires, tissulaires molles ou encore de parois d'organes internes du corps humain.The present invention relates to the technical field of fabrics or tablecloths textile for surgical use intended to be implanted to reinforce regions muscular, soft tissues or even walls of internal organs of the body human.
Dans le domaine ci-dessus, il est connu de mettre en oeuvre des plaques de matériaux biocompatibles, en fibres non tissées ou en tissus à fils croisés qui sont découpés par le chirurgien en fonction de son besoin.In the above field, it is known to use plates of biocompatible materials, non-woven fibers or cross-threaded fabrics that are cut by the surgeon according to his need.
Si de telles plaques de matières textiles permettent effectivement de réaliser des moyens de renforts souples implantables, elles présentent néanmoins certains inconvénients. Tout d'abord, en raison de leurs découpes, les plaques de renfort ainsi obtenues offrent des bords qui sont susceptibles de blesser les tissus au niveau desquels elles sont placées.If such sheets of textile materials actually make it possible to achieve flexible implantable reinforcement means, they nevertheless have certain disadvantages. First, because of their cutouts, the reinforcing plates as well obtained provide edges that are likely to injure tissue at the level which they are placed.
Par ailleurs, compte tenu de leur structure, de telles plaques sont susceptibles de relâcher des particules libres pouvant affecter la cicatrisation des tissus d'implantation. De plus, dans le cadre de certaines utilisations telles que, par exemple, la réalisation de bandelettes pour le traitement de l'incontinence urinaire d'effort, ces bandelettes présentent l'inconvénient de se déformer et de s'enrouler sur elles-mêmes lorsqu'un effort ou une traction longitudinale est exercée sur celles-ci.Moreover, given their structure, such plates are susceptible to release free particles that can affect the healing of tissues implantation. In addition, for certain uses such as, for example, example, the production of strips for the treatment of urinary incontinence of effort, these strips have the disadvantage of being deformed and wound on themselves when a force or a longitudinal traction is exerted on them.
De même, de telles bandelettes découpées dans des tissus à fils croisés présentent une certaine élasticité qui les rendent impropres à une utilisation dans le cadre d'une implantation sans tension résiduelle comme cela est plus particulièrement recherché dans le cadre des nouveaux protocoles de traitement de l'incontinence urinaire d'effort.Similarly, such strips cut in cross-threaded fabrics have a certain elasticity that renders them unsuitable for use in framework of an implantation without residual voltage as this is more particularly sought after in the context of the new treatment protocols for urinary stress incontinence.
Afin de remédier à cet inconvénient, une demande de brevet WO 02065944 a proposé un tricot chaíne à usage chirurgical réalisé en fils biocompatibles et présentant au niveau de ses lisières longitudinales, des boucles libres destinées à former des éléments d'implantation.In order to remedy this drawback, a patent application WO 02065944 proposed a chain knit for surgical use made of biocompatible yarns and presenting at its longitudinal edges, free loops intended for form implantation elements.
Le tricot, selon la demande WO 02 065 944 présente alors une armure de type tricot simple à une barre ou encore une armure de type atlas présentant une trop grande sensibilité au démaillage de sorte que ses caractéristiques peuvent être affectées lorsque le chirurgien a été amené au cours de la procédure d'implantation, à abímer la bandelette.The knit according to the application WO 02 065 944 then has a type of armor simple knit to a bar or even an armor of atlas type presenting too much great sensitivity to unraveling so that its features can be affected when the surgeon was brought during the implantation procedure, to spoil the tape.
Un brevet US 5 456 711 a également proposé un tricot chaíne à usage chirurgical en matériaux compatibles présentant une armure à deux barres plus communément connue sous le nom de queenscord. Ce tricot présente la particularité d'offrir une meilleure résistance au démaillage que le tricot précédent mais présente néanmoins l'inconvénient de ne pas offrir une porosité favorisant un processus rapide de cicatrisation.US Patent 5,456,711 has also proposed a knit chain for use made of compatible materials with two-bar weave plus commonly known as queenscord. This knit has the peculiarity to offer a better resistance to unraveling than the previous knitting but present nevertheless the disadvantage of not offering porosity favoring a rapid process healing.
Il est donc apparu le besoin de disposer d'un nouveau type de tricot qui soit adapté à une implantation dans le cadre de procédures dites sans tension pour le traitement de la cystocèle ou incontinence urinaire d'effort féminine, qui soit indémaillable et qui soit, par ailleurs, particulièrement favorable à une colonisation fibroplastique rapide afin de favoriser une cicatrisation optimale et sans douleur.It has therefore become apparent that there is a need for a new type of knitting which is suitable for implantation in so-called "no-tension" procedures for the treatment of cystocele or urinary incontinence of female effort, which is indémaillable and which is, moreover, particularly favorable to colonization fast fibroplastic to promote optimal healing and pain free.
Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, l'invention concerne un tricot à chaíne à usage chirurgical en fils biocompatibles caractérisé en ce qu'il présente une armure de chaínette tramée. Ainsi, le tricot selon l'invention présente un motif de chaínette, fermée ou ouverte, associé à au moins un motif de liage et, de préférence, un seul motif de liage.In order to achieve this objective, the invention relates to a utility chain knit surgical biocompatible son characterized in that it has an armor of halftone chain. Thus, the knit according to the invention has a chain pattern, closed or open, associated with at least one binding pattern and, preferably, only one binding pattern.
En effet, il a été constaté qu'une telle armure de chaíne tramée offre un facteur d'ouverture et des pores de dimensions suffisantes pour favoriser la colonisation fibroplastique. Par ailleurs, une telle armure de chaínette tramée est particulièrement favorable à l'obtention d'un tricot bloqué très peu démaillable et résistant donc bien aux éventuelles découpes susceptibles d'y être effectuées de manière accidentelle ou volontaire par le chirurgien lors de l'implantation.Indeed, it has been found that such a halftone warp armor offers a factor of opening and pores of sufficient size to promote colonization fibroblast. Moreover, such a halftone chain armor is particularly favorable to obtain a blocked knit very little demaillable and resistant so well any cuts that may be made accidentally or voluntary by the surgeon during implantation.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le tricot chaíne est réalisé de manière à présenter un motif de chaínette fermée du type 1-0 ou, accessoirement, de chaínette ouverte du type 1-0/0-1 et un motif de liage du type 0-0/3-3.According to one characteristic of the invention, the knit chain is made so to present a motif of closed chain of the type 1-0 or, incidentally, of chaínette 1-0 / 0-1 open type and a 0-0 / 3-3 type binding pattern.
Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, le tricot présentera un motif de chaínette fermée, associé à au moins un motif de liage.In a preferred embodiment, the knit will have a pattern of closed chain, associated with at least one binding pattern.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le tricot est réalisé de manière à présenter un motif de chaínette fermée de type 1-0 et un motif de liage du type 1-0/2-3 qui renforce le caractère indémaillable du tricot. According to another characteristic of the invention, the knit is made so as to have a closed chain type 1-0 pattern and a binding pattern of the type 1-0 / 2-3 which reinforces the knitting nature of knitting.
Un tricot chaíne selon l'invention, peut être réalisé sur tout type de métier à tricoter adapté tel que par exemple, les métiers à tricoter comprenant deux barres comme les métiers RACHEL ou les métiers CROCHET.A chain knit according to the invention can be made on any type of loom. knitting adapted such as for example, knitting looms comprising two bars such as RACHEL trades or CROCHET trades.
Dans le cadre d'une mise en oeuvre dans un métier à deux barres à passettes, l'une des barres assure alors le motif de chaínette tandis que l'autre barre assure le motif de liage.As part of an implementation in a loom with two bars, one of the bars then provides the chain pattern while the other bar provides the binding pattern.
Afin d'être particulièrement favorable au mécanisme de colonisation fibroplastique, le tricot chaíne selon l'invention est réalisé de manière à présenter des pores dont la taille est dans une dimension au moins supérieure à 74 µm et de préférence mais non nécessairement, dans toutes les dimensions comprises entre 20 µm et 80 µm.In order to be particularly favorable to the colonization mechanism fibroplastique, the chain knit according to the invention is made in such a way as to present pores the size of which is in a dimension of at least greater than 74 μm and preference, but not necessarily, in all the dimensions between 20 μm and 80 μm.
De manière préférée, le tricot chaíne selon l'invention, est réalisé sous la forme d'un ruban à lisières nettes qui présentera de préférence mais non nécessairement, une largeur comprise entre 8 mm et 55 mm, et de manière plus particulièrement préférée, comprise entre 8 mm et 15 mm. Un tel mode de réalisation du tricot chaíne selon l'invention le rend alors particulièrement adapté à la réalisation d'une bandelette de renfort pour le traitement de la cystocèle ou incontinence urinaire d'effort, comprenant au moins une longueur de tricot selon l'invention.Preferably, the chain knit according to the invention is made in the form a clear selvedge ribbon that will preferably but not necessarily a width of between 8 mm and 55 mm, and more particularly preferred, between 8 mm and 15 mm. Such an embodiment of the chain knit according to the invention makes it particularly suitable for the realization of a reinforcement tape for the treatment of cystocele or urinary incontinence of effort, comprising at least one length of knit according to the invention.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, et toujours en vue d'obtenir des résultats de cicatrisation optimum, le tricot chaíne selon l'invention, est réalisé de manière à présenter un poids surfacique compris entre 28 g/m2 et 100 g/m2 et, de manière plus particulièrement préférée, compris entre 30 g/m2 et 40 g/m2.According to another characteristic of the invention, and always with a view to obtaining optimum healing results, the warp knit according to the invention is produced so as to have a weight per unit area of between 28 g / m 2 and 100 g / m 2 and, more preferably, between 30 g / m 2 and 40 g / m 2 .

De manière préférée mais non strictement nécessaire, les fils constitutifs du tricot chaíne selon l'invention, seront choisis parmi le polypropylène, le polyester et le polyamide. Il est à noter que dans une forme de réalisation plus particulièrement préférée, le tricot chaíne selon l'invention, serait réalisé en fils de polypropylène.According to the invention, the knit chain for surgical use can be made of biocompatible synthetic materials such as, for example, polyamide yarns, polyoxymethylene, polyetherketone, polypropylene, polyethylene or polyester. Of preferred but not strictly necessary way, the constituent yarns of the knit chain according to the invention, will be selected from polypropylene, polyester and polyamide. It should be noted that in a more particularly preferred embodiment, the chain knit according to the invention, would be made of polypropylene son.
Différents types de fils peuvent être utilisés pour la réalisation d'un tricot chaíne selon l'invention, tels que par exemple, des fils multi-filaments ou des fils mono filaments. De préférence, les fils mono-filaments seront retenus en raison de leur faible proportion à relâcher des particules. Different types of yarn can be used for making a knit according to the invention, such as, for example, multi-filament yarns or yarns mono filaments. Preferably, the monofilament yarns will be retained because of their low proportion to release particles.
