Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gewebeverbinder mit Widerhaken und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung.The The invention relates to a woven connector with barbs and a Process for the preparation.
Facelifts werden zur Zeit hauptsächlich in aufwendigen Prozeduren durchgeführt, die größeren Incisionen erfordern. Ebenfalls durch die Prozedur bedingt sind Traumata, Betäubung, gegebenenfalls Schädigung oder gar Durchtrennung von Nerven, sowie ein stark eingeschränkter Patientenkomfort als Folge der Prozedur.facelifts are becoming major at the moment performed in elaborate procedures that require major incisions. Also caused by the procedure are trauma, anesthesia, possibly injury or even transection of nerves, as well as a greatly reduced patient comfort as a result of the procedure.
Ein neuerer Weg, die Prozeduren durchzuführen nutzt selbstfixierende Fäden, die wie Stacheldraht geformt sind. Diese "Stacheln" oder Widerhaken reichen in das umgebende Gewebe hinein und sorgen für die Verankerung. Die mit Stacheln versehene Fäden werden durch Kanülen eingebracht und durch Entfernen der Kanüle platziert. Beschrieben ist dies in einem Artikel von Sulamanidze, et al. in Dermatol SURG., 28(5), 2002, 367–71. Mit dem gleichen Problem befaßt sich auch der Artikel von Dattilo et al., in JTATM, 2(2), 2002, 1–5.One newer way to perform the procedures uses self-fixing threads which are shaped like barbed wire. These "spines" or barbs reach into the surrounding area Tissue in and take care of the anchorage. The spiked threads are inserted through cannulas and by removing the cannula placed. This is described in an article by Sulamanidze, et al. in Dermatol SURG., 28 (5), 2002, 367-71. With the same problem deals See also the article by Dattilo et al., in JTATM, 2 (2), 2002, 1-5.
Die US-3,123,077 A offenbart ein Nahtmaterial mit Widerhaken auf den Fäden, die. zwar unterschiedlicher Anordnungen haben, jedoch alle in eine Richtung gerichtet sind. Dadurch lassen sie sich gut durch ein Gewebe in einer Richtung durchziehen und verhindern das Zurückrutschen in der entgegengesetzten Richtung. Da jedoch die Zugbelastung in zu verbindenden Gewebeteilen von der Inzision in beide Richtungen und damit in entgegengesetzte Richtungen wirkt, wird zwar ein Gewebeteil von den Stacheln oder Widerhaken zurückgehalten, der andere kann aber in Richtung der Stacheln rutschen und damit die Inzision öffnen.The US 3,123,077 A discloses a suture with barbs on the threads the. Although different arrangements have, but all in one direction are directed. This allows them to pass well through a tissue a direction and prevent slipping back in the opposite direction. However, since the tensile load in tissue parts to be connected from the incision in both directions and acting in opposite directions becomes a piece of fabric retained by the spines or barbs, but the other one can slide in the direction of the spines and thus open the incision.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Gewebeverbinder und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung für minimal-invasive Prozeduren zu schaffen, mit dem Körpergewebe unter Einsatz von einer minimalen Menge an Faden zuverlässig fixiert werden kann. Dabei soll die Applikation auch schneller und einfacher als beim Stand der Technik durchführbar sein.task The invention relates to a woven connector and a method for Production for to create minimally invasive procedures with the body tissues reliably fixed using a minimum amount of thread can be. The application should also be faster and easier be feasible as in the prior art.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dient ein Gewebeverbinder, der die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 und 13 aufweist.to solution This object is achieved by a woven connector which has the features of patent claim 1 and 13.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße helikale oder schraubenförmige Struktur sind somit entgegengesetzt gerichtete Stacheln oder Widerhaken gebildet, die das Auseinanderrutschen der zu verbindenden Gewebeteile verhindern. Bei der Applikation ist es auch nicht erforderlich, daß der Chirurg die Mitte des Gewebeverhinders suchen und den Gewebeverbinder in entgegengesetzte Richtungen durch das Gewebe führen muß, sondern es reicht aus, daß er den Gewebeverbinder mit dem Applikationswerkzeug, in der Regel eine chirurgische Zange, erfaßt und in einer Richtung durch beide Gewebeteile führt. Dazu ist es allerdings erforderlich, daß der erfindungsgemäße Gewebeverbinder zum Applizieren mit Hilfe einer Umhüllung durch das Gewebe geführt wird, die die Widerhaken oder Stacheln während des Applizierens niederdrückt, so daß sie sich nicht im Gewebe verhaken können.By the helical invention or helical Structure are thus oppositely directed spines or barbs formed, which is the slipping apart of the tissue parts to be joined prevent. In the application, it is also not necessary that the Surgeon search the center of the tissue inhibitor and the tissue connector in opposite directions through the tissue, but it is enough that he the tissue connector with the application tool, usually a surgical forceps, detected and leads in one direction through both tissue parts. It is, however required that the Tissue connectors according to the invention is guided through the tissue for application by means of an envelope, which depresses the barbs or spines during application, so that she can not get caught in the tissue.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche, auf die hiermit ausdrücklich Bezug genommen wird.advantageous Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, on which hereby expressly Reference is made.
Ein
weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß eine Naht in einem kontinuierlichen
Vorgang ausgeführt
werden kann, wobei immer dann Gewebeverbinder abgeschnitten wird,
wenn dies erforderlich ist. Es sind daher keine exakt vorfabrizierten
Gewebeverbinderstücke
erforderlich, wie dies beispielsweise bei der
Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Gewebeverbinders besteht in seiner einfacheren Herstellbarkeit im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik, bei dem die Widerhaken oder Stacheln einzeln durch Einschlitzen oder Einkerben gebildet werden müssen. Denn gemäß Erfindung ist eine Wendel oder Schraubenlinie in einer Drehrichtung vorgesehen, die in einer Ausführungsform eine gleichbleibende Steigung hat und bei der sich der Widerhakeneffekt durch die Ausbildung der beiden Flanken der Wendel oder Schraubenlinie durch die Hinterschneidung ergibt.One Another advantage of the tissue connector according to the invention consists in its ease of manufacture compared to the state of Technique in which the barbs or spines individually by slitting or scoring must be formed. Because according to invention is a helix or helix provided in one direction of rotation, that in one embodiment has a consistent slope and at the barb effect by the formation of the two flanks of the helix or helix through the undercut results.
