Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for performing surgery particularly an ultrasonic scalpel wherein the scalpel is fully self-contained using batteries as a primary source of power with a switch to permit selection between cutting and cautery modes.
- the ultrasonic scalpel When operated the ultrasonic scalpel has the ability for lateral motion as well as reciprocating motion of the scalpel blade causing tissue separation along interstitial margins.
- ultrasonic surgery avoids the trauma, extensive scarring, and limitations of thermal cutting of electrosurgery and laser surgery.
- the ultrasonic scalpel takes advantage of dissection technology as a result of oscillating motion of the blades.
- Ultrasonic energy is transmitted through a connection or mount between the ultrasonic energy source and a hand-held coupler which mounts the surgical tool, for example, a surgical blade mounted at the tip of the coupler.
- This connection facilitates transmission of ultrasonic motion from the energy source through the coupler to the surgical blade in order to generate vibrations in the blade in a reciprocating motion.
- This ultrasonic motion is then coupled with the tissue to which the blade is applied.
- the lateral harmonic motion produced is the reason for the ease and quality of a surgical cut and is the preferred embodiment of this invention. Improved cutting by enhanced tissue separation along interstitial margins is demonstrated.
- the scalpel can operate at lower frequency and higher power providing thermal sealing.
- the proteinatious nature of tissue breakdown in the region surgerized at cutting frequency causes development of adherent surfaces leading to a coagulation effect. This coagulation effect enhances healing with a minimization of scar tissue.
- the ultrasonic scalpel of this invention does not require the use of a power cord connected to an external source.
- a power cord in the close area of surgical operations can be cumbersome and hinder ease of movement of the ultrasonic scalpel.
- the power source of the scalpel is batteries in a section of the ultrasonic scalpel housing itself; however, there is capability for an external power source if needed.
- the weight and size of other required parts of the ultrasonic scalpel such as the electrical actuator and the circuit components with transformer can be reduced. Since the entire ultrasonic scalpel could operate without a separate power supply, the unit is conceivable disposable.
- Figure 3 is a top plan view of the cylinder/armature arrangement of the present invention illustrating the degree of difference between the armature axis and the drive axis as well as the wall clearance between the keyed cylinder and the housing of the ultrasonic scalpel.
- Figure 1 is a side cut-away view of ultrasonic scalpel 10.
- Housing 12 of the ultrasonic scalpel 10 of Figure 1 is shaped to be grasped by the surgeon to allow the surgeon to grip and manipulate during surgery.
- the shape of housing 12 is an elongated rounded body with varying circumferences.
- removable sections are located on the housing face to allow for the insertion of a power source, batteries 14 and a power cord 16.
- the circumference of the body decreases to a gripping area 20 which is the majority of the outside surface area of the housing 12.
- the circumference of the body decreases to a circumference slightly larger than the width of blade 22, which allows improved sight of the action of blade 22.
- an aperture 25 is provided for insertion of blade 22 to connect with the keyed cylinder 26 of the ultrasonic scalpel 10.
- blade 22 can be one of several special purpose blades pre-fitted for the ultrasonic scalpel for different types of surgery or designed for reciprocating and/or lateral motion of the ultrasonic scalpel.
- Blade 22 has opposite side faces 28 and 30 and may be made of metal, ceramic, a combination of both or other material suitable for the purpose. For example, when an ultrasonic scalpel is made for lateral motion only, specially shaped and ground blades ensure proper mass and balance throughout the length of the blade.
- blade 22 has a side edge 32 and a tip 34 opposite the shank 36.
- An aperture 38 is provided in the shank face for receiving the extrusion 27 of keyed cylinder 26.
- extrusion 27 has a flattened section with a raised surface 40 on one side face sized to fit conformably with the aperture 38 of blade 22.
- blade 22 moves in relation to the movement of armature 42 in a reciprocating motion as depicted by the direction arrows.
- Reciprocating motion is vibration in the direction of the axis of the blade 22.
- Figure 2 depicts the motion of blade 22 in relation to the movement of armature 42 in a lateral motion as depicted by the direction arrows.
- Lateral motion is vibration in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the blade 22.
- lateral motion alone may be sufficient and desirable without reciprocating motion.
- tissue separation occurs only at the nodes of harmonic motion and powerization occurs as the scalpel blade is manually drawn across the surgical field.
- the blade 22 and driver 50 assembly may be fabricated in a manner to provide only lateral "whip" motion along the length of blade 22.
- the elongated flattened section 44 of extrusion 27 is the blade attachment section.
- the tubular section 46 of the armature 42 is the keyed cylinder 26 attachment area. Inside the body of the housing 12 near the aperture 25 is the keyed cylinder 26. The interior of the keyed cylinder 26 confines the armature 42 and transmits the ultrasonic vibration of the armature 42 to blade 22.
- the armature 42 has a solid tubular section 46 which moves within and impacts the movement of the keyed cylinder 26.
- the other end 48 of the body of armature 42 slidably inserts into the driver 50 of transducer 52.
- Armature 42 can slidably insert into the driver 50 at an offset as exaggerated in the illustration of Figure 3.
- the driver 50 of the transducer 52 is rounded and has a recessed area 54 for engaging the armature 42.
- the ultrasonic scalpel 10 is energized by a tool tip ultrasonic transducer 52.
- the transducer 52 vibrates and transmits this vibration through the driver 50 and armature 42 at a controlled frequency to the blade 22, causing reciprocating motion of the blade 22.
- the blade excursion is a function of electrical power input to the transducer 52.
- Ultrasonic vibration for lateral harmonic motion of blade 22 is caused by the one half to two degree offset of the driver 50 axis and the armature 42 axis.
- the keyed cylinder 26 has a one-thousandth of an inch (0.001") clearance from the housing 12 to allow whip movement caused by the lateral harmonic motion.
- the ultrasonic scalpel 10 can be limited to transmitting ultrasonic vibration for solely lateral harmonic motion.
- a piezo beam driver 29 electrically connected to circuit board 56 provides lateral "whip" motion when connected directly to blade 22.
- An anchor section 45 of driver 29 is the blade attachment section.
- Driver 29 is preferably a Thunder Beam of Thunder
- the transducer 52 of Figure 1 has a piezoelectric driver which preferably contains Thunder Technology, which is a high deformation Piezo electrical actuator,
- a transformer 58 will be connected electrically on the circuit board face of the end opposite the attached transducer 52.
- the transformer 58 will preferably be a Transoner type (described and illustrated in U.S. Patent 5,834,882 issued to Face International, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference) .
- Transoner is a multi-layer piezo electric transformer. Of extremely small size, this device can step up 6 volts to as high as 900 volts; however, those skilled in the art will recognize various equivalent substitutions.
- the housing 12 has an aperture opening 60 on the exterior gripping section 20 of the body for function switch 62.
- Function switch 62 comfortably fits in the opening 60 of the exterior of the housing 12 and is attached to the circuit board 56.
- the function switch 62 is in the form of a sliding button. The function switch 62 allows the operator to control the application of ultrasonic vibrations to the blade 22 for cutting and coagulation modes.
- the ultrasonic scalpel 10 can be disposable. Also, the ultrasonic scalpel 10 one can be available in different power and frequency models, for varying surgical application.
