Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for distributing and placing surgical "I" fasteners which can, for example, be used to fix parietal and visceral reinforcements.
- a means for example a spring, recalls the plunger and the needle is withdrawn manually.
- the head thereof Under the action of the elasticity of the material constituting the fastener, the head thereof returns to its initial position and returns substantially perpendicular to the connecting filament, ensuring the anchoring of the fastener on the rear face of the sheets. . These are then trapped between the head and the foot of the fastener which also extends transversely, but on the front face of the sheets. It has been envisaged to transpose this type of fastener to ensure surgical ligatures by making the fastener in plastic material and, in particular, in bioresorbable material, and in distributing it by means of an equivalent distributor.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing device overcoming these drawbacks.
- This dispensing device comprises a handle body equipped with manual control means and a nozzle on which is attached and removably fixed a elongated element for storage and distribution of fasteners.
- the elongated element contains, near its free end, a slide linked, on the one hand, to a control rod actuable by first control means, between a rest position and a working position , and, on the other hand, to return means in the rest position, said slide comprising:
- a longitudinal channel for a pusher actuable by second control means in the extension of the hollow needle and the receiving chamber of the attachment head, a longitudinal channel for a pusher actuable by second control means; said pusher being arranged so that, when the slider is in the rest position, its free end is in the aforementioned receiving chamber and is opposed to the reception of a fastening head and that, when the slider has been moved by the first control means to project the needle out of the elongated element and engage it in the tissues, said end of the pusher is outside this chamber and can, after reception of the attachment head in this chamber and actuation of the second control means, push this head into the needle channel.
- This device is therefore composed of a handle body on which is attached a elongated element which can have all the guarantees of asepsis and contain a quantity of fasteners sufficient for a standard operation, this elongate element being systematically replaced with each new operation.
- the arrangement of the fastener storage store in the elongated element does not increase the overall size of the device and makes it possible to guarantee the sterilization of the fasteners.
- the external diameter of the elongated element is constant over the entire length and compatible with its use in laparoscopy.
- This movement also releases the reception chamber from the head of the first fastener and thus allows this head to come into the dispensing position.
- the actuation of the second control means causes, under the action of the pusher, the displacement of the head of the fastener in the hollow and split needle and, consequently, the transfer of this head beyond the human tissues in front to be assembled.
- return means return the pusher and the magazine to the initial rest position, that is to say retracts the needle in the elongated element by bringing the slide into the position where its distribution chamber is closed by the end of the pusher which opposes the positioning of the head of the next fastener.
- the front end of the fastener storage magazine comprises, facing the slide receiving chamber and in the longitudinal trajectory of the head of the first fastener, a ramp tending to drive said head transversely into the chamber reception.
- the slide comprises, facing a release chamber formed in front of the front end of the magazine and in the path of the attachment feet, an inclined ramp tending to move the foot of the first fastener during the longitudinal displacement of the latter.
- the first control means comprise an “L” lever, articulated near its elbow on the handle body, said lever comprising a large branch, bearing on the end of the slide control rod, and a small branch directed towards the end piece of the body
- the second control means comprise a handle, of general "L" shape, articulated near its elbow in the handle body on an axis distinct from that of the articulation of the aforementioned lever, said handle comprising:
