Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/734,674, filed Apr. 12, 2007, now allowed, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/983,810, filed Oct. 26, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,226,459. The prior applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- This invention relates to rotary cutting surgical instruments, and more particularly, to a reciprocating rotary surgical instrument for cutting semi-rigid tissue.
- Conventional arthroscopic surgical instruments generally include an outer tube and an inner member that rotates or translates axially within the outer tube. The outer tube and inner member may interact to create shear forces that cut tissue. This type of cutting is generally used to cut soft tissue, such as muscle, ligaments, and tendons.
- In one aspect, a surgical instrument includes a cutting member with an implement for cutting tissue, and a drive coupled to the cutting member to simultaneously rotate and translate the cutting member in response to a force applied to the drive.
- One or more of the following features may be included in the surgical instrument. The drive is configured such that the cutting member reciprocates. The drive includes a drive member attached to the cutting member. The drive member includes a helical groove. The drive includes a translation piece disposed in the groove such that rotary driving of the drive member results in simultaneous reciprocation of the drive member relative to the translation piece.
- In the illustrated embodiment, the drive includes an inner drive hub coupled to the drive member. The inner drive hub defines a slot and the drive member includes a key received in the slot rotary coupling the drive member to the inner drive hub such that the drive member rotates with the inner drive hub while being free to translate relative to the inner drive hub. The helical groove includes a left-hand threaded helical channel. The helical groove includes a right-hand threaded helical channel. The cutting member is attached to the drive member to move rotatably and axially with the member.
- The implement is a chamfered cutting edge at a distal end of the cutting member. The chamfered edge is a straight cutting edge. Alternatively, the chamfered edge is an angled cutting edge.
- The instrument includes an outer tubular member. The cutting member is received within the outer member, The outer member includes a cutting window disposed proximate to a tip of the outer member. The cutting window is an opening in the outer member exposing the cutting member to tissue. The cutting window has a U-shaped proximal end and a saddle-shaped distal end. The saddle-shaped distal end of the cutting window includes a hook.
- The translation piece includes a follower received within the groove and a sealing cap over the follower. The follower is free to swivel relative to the sealing cap. The follower has an arched bridge shape. The translation piece is coupled to the drive member such that the translation piece is disposed in the helical groove and swivels to follow the helical groove as the drive member rotates.
- In another aspect, a method of cutting tissue includes positioning an outer member such that tissue is located within the outer member, engaging the tissue with an inner member received within the outer member, and simultaneously rotating and translating the inner member to cut the tissue. One or more of the following features may be included. The translating is reciprocating. The outer member is oriented tangentially to the tissue.
- In another aspect, a method of cutting tissue includes providing a surgical instrument having an outer member and an inner member received within the outer member for movement relative to the outer member, and applying a tangential cutting force to the tissue with the inner member to mechanically cut the tissue.
- In another aspect, a method of cutting tissue includes applying a tangential cutting force to tissue with a member, and mechanically driving the member to undergo simultaneous rotation and translation. The method may include that the translation is reciprocation.
- The cutting edge of conventional arthroscopic surgical instruments, such as rotary shears, have difficulty initiating a cut into semi-rigid tissue tend to bounce away from the tissue. Toothed edge geometry somewhat ameliorates this problem because the “teeth” attempt to pierce the tissue to initiate a cut. However, the efficiency of using “teeth” is limited and the limitations are more evident when cutting large volumes of semi-rigid tissue, such as meniscus or intrauterine fibroid tissue. The simultaneous rotating and reciprocating inner member of the surgical instrument of the invention overcomes these difficulties. The tangential approach to the tissue in the method of the invention limits the tendency of the instrument to bounce away from the tissue. In particular, the instrument and method provide a higher resection rate to shorten procedure length, during, e.g., fibroid and polyp resection.
- The details of one or more implementations are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.

end 110, there is aninner drive hub 130 with adrive coupler 120, and anouter hub 140. Thedrive coupler 120 mounts into a rotary driver (not shown), which turns thedrive coupler 120 causing ahelical member 150 and theinner drive hub 130 to rotate. For instance, the rotary driver is Dyonics Power Handpiece, No. 725355. Theinner drive hub 130 with thedrive coupler 120 is, for example, a component of Smith & Nephew disposable arthroscopic surgical instrument, No. 7205306. Thehelical member 150 is located within theinner drive hub 120 and theouter hub 140. Thehelical member 150 and atranslation piece 145 are coupled together such that rotation of thehelical member 150 causes linear translation of thehelical member 150, as described further below. - The
cutting device 100 includes an elongatedinner member 185 and an elongatedouter member 186, as shown inFIG. 1B . Theinner member 185 is tubular with ahollow interior 184. Theinner member 185 is fixed to thehelical member 150 for axial and rotary motion therewith. - The
outer member 186 is also tubular with ahollow interior 187. Theinner member 185 is received inside theouter member 186. Theouter member 186 is fixed to theouter hub 140 and does not move. Theouter member 186 includes atip 188, which is blunt, i.e., the corners are rounded. At the cuttingend 190, theouter member 186 defines a cuttingwindow 170 through a wall 186 a of theouter member 186. - Referring to
FIGS. 2A-2D , theinner drive hub 130 includes thedrive coupler 120, alumen 136, anaspiration opening 132, and aslot 134. Thedrive coupler 120 extends from the proximal end of theinner drive hub 130 and mounts in the rotary driver. Debris from the cuttingend 190 of thecutting device 100 is aspirated through theaspiration opening 132. Theslot 134 is disposed in awall 131 of theinner drive hub 130. Theslot 134 is like a track along one side of theinner drive hub 130. Theslot 134 of theinner drive hub 130 is coupled with a key 152 of the helical member 150 (seeFIG. 4B ) so that rotation of theinner drive hub 130 causes the helical member 1150 to rotate while allowing thehelical member 150 to move axially relative to theinner drive hub 130, e.g., the key 152 axially slides along theslot 134. - Referring to
FIGS. 3A-3D , thehelical member 150 of thecutting device 100 is formed of a lubricious material in a tubular shape with a throughlumen 159. Theinner member 185 is disposed within thehelical member 150 and fixed therein, for example, by epoxy, injection-molded, or over-molded plastic. - The
helical member 150 includes the key 152 and twohelical channels FIG. 3B , the key 152 is shaped like a fin and is located at the proximal end of thehelical member 150. The key 152 mates with theslot 134 of theinner drive hub 130. - The two
helical channels helical member 150. Onehelical channel 156 is right-hand threaded; the otherhelical channel 158 is left-hand threaded. The pitch of the helical channels may be different or the same. The length of the distal portion of thehelical member 150 withhelical channels window 170. Thehelical channels helical member 150. - The
helical member 150 and theinner drive hub 130 are mechanically driven by the rotary driver. Thehelical member 150 also moves in an axial direction, e.g., reciprocates, as a result of the interaction of thetranslation piece 145 with thehelical channels - Referring to
FIGS. 4A-4C , theouter hub 140 of thecutting device 100 is formed of hard plastic and does not move. An example of an outer hub is a component of Smith & Nephew disposable arthroscopic surgical instrument, No. 7205306, modified with acutout 144 for receiving thetranslation piece 145. Thecutout 144 is disposed within a wall of theouter hub 140, for example, centrally, as inFIG. 4B , and aligned with the helical member. Thetranslation piece 145 is located in thecutout 144 of the outer hill) 140. - As shown in
FIG. 1B , theouter member 186 is disposed within theouter hub 140 and fixed therein by acoupling 144 using, for example, epoxy, glue, insert molding, or spin-welding. - Referring to
FIG. 5A , thetranslation piece 145 includes a follower 145 a and acap 145 b. Having the twohelical channels key inner drive hub 130 and thehelical member 150, the rotary driver only needs to rotate in one direction and does not require reversal of the rotational direction upon thetranslation piece 145 reaching the end of one of thehelical channels - Referring to
FIGS. 6A-6C , the follower 145 a includes a cylindrical head 145 a 1 and two legs 145 a 2. As shown inFIGS. 5B-5D , the legs 145 a 2 form an arch and rest in the channels of thedouble helix helical member 150. The arch of the legs 145 a 2 is dimensionally related to the diameter described by thehelical channels helical member 150. - Referring particularly to
FIGS. 5C and 5D , as thehelical member 150 and theinner drive hub 130 are mechanically driven by the rotary driver (not shown), the follower 145 a follows thehelical channels helical channel helical member 150 having thehelical channels helical channels helical member 150 to also translate. Thus, theinner member 185 simultaneously rotates and reciprocates to cut the tissue. - Referring to
FIGS. 7A and 7B , thecap 145 b of thetranslation piece 145 covers the follower 145 a to provide a seal to allow sufficient suction to remove aspirated debris. Also, thecap 145 b is a separate piece from the follower 145 a in order to allow thefollower 145 b to swivel. - As shown in
FIGS. 8A and 8B , the outermember cutting window 170 has a generally oblong shape. Theproximal end 172 of the cuttingwindow 170 is U-shaped and thedistal end 173 has a saddle shape that forms ahook 174. Thedistal end 173 is chamfered to provide a sharp edge. Thehook 174 pierces the targeted tissue to hold the tissue as theinner member 185 cuts. Also, the shape of the cuttingwindow 170 eliminates galling between the inner andouter members inner member 185. - The cutting
window 170 is disposed proximate to thetip 188 of theouter member 186. The cuttingwindow 170 exposes theinner member 185 over a length L. -
FIG. 9 shows that theinner member 185 is generally tubular withhollow interior 187. Aspiration of debris occurs through thehollow interior 187 of theinner member 185, and through the lumen of the helical member to the aspiration opening 132 of theinner drive hub 130. Thedistal end 183 of theinner member 185 is chamfered to asharp edge 187 for cutting. Theinner member 185 simultaneously rotates about its axis and translates along its axis to cut tissue. The cutting surface of thedistal end 183 of theinner member 185 shears the tissue. For example, referring toFIG. 10 , thecutting device 100 is placed tangentially against the targeted tissue such that the cuttingwindow 170 exposes theinner member 185 to the tissue. As theinner member 185 rotates and translates, as shown by the arrows, the tissue within the cutting window catches on thehook 174 to initiate the cut and then thecutting edge 183 of theinner member 185 shears the tissue as theinner member 185 advances to cut the tissue. The cut is completed as thecutting edge 183 of theinner member 185 advances beyond thehook 174 of the cuttingwindow 170 within theouter member 186. -
FIG. 11 shows an alternative implementation of the inner member. Thedistal end 283 of theinner member 285 may be angled to a chamfered point so that the cut in the targeted tissue is initiated on one side and then extends across the width of the tissue. Similarly, when the cutting device is placed tangentially against the targeted tissue, the rotating and translatinginner member 285 shears the tissue to be cut. - A number of implementations have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made. For example, instead of a double helical channel, the helical member may include a single helical channel with a retractable follower and spring, or possibly, attraction and repelling forces of magnets or a solenoid could enable the rotating and reciprocating movements. Also, alternatively, the inner and outer members may have a cross-sectional shape other than circular. Additionally, the shape of the hook of the outer member may be modified in order to improve grasping of the tissue or grasping a larger volume of tissue. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
