Definitions
- the present invention relates to an orifice introducer device, and more particularly, to an orifice introducer device for introducing, e.g., a surgical device, into an orifice of a body.
- a surgical instrument that requires a surgical instrument to be introduced into an orifice of a body.
- a surgical procedure to resect a cancerous or anomalous tissue from a gastro-intestinal tract by the introduction, e.g., insertion, of a circular stapling instrument via a patient's oral or anal cavity.
- the orifice of the body may be damaged when the surgical instrument is being introduced, or has been introduced, into the orifice. This is particularly problematic when the orifice into which the surgical device is being introduced includes fragile tissue that is easily damaged when contacted, e.g., the tissues of the oral cavity.
- Another problem experienced during surgical procedures of this type is that the surgical instrument may be damaged when the surgical instrument is being introduced, or has been introduced, into the orifice. It may be particularly important to avoid damage to the surgical device, since a patient may also be harmed if the surgical, device functions improperly.
- the present invention relates to an orifice introducer device for introducing, e.g., a surgical device, into, e.g., an orifice of a body.
- the orifice introducer device includes a tubular member having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end is adjustable between a first position for insertion into an orifice and a second position once inserted into the orifice.
- the orifice introducer device may include a distal portion having a proximal end configured to be detachably secured to the distal end of the tubular member. The distal portion is selectively detachable when the orifice introducer device is positioned in the orifice.
- the introducer includes a tubular sheath.
- the diameter of the proximal end of the sheath is larger than the diameter of the distal end of the sheath.
- the sheath may have a generally conically-shaped or tapered distal end.
- the diameter of the distal end may be expandable to allow passage of a surgical instrument whose diameter is larger than the diameter of the distal end.
- the distal end may include, for example, a slit, seam or weakened area for allowing the diameter to expand.
- the distal end may be formed of a stretchable material, such as an elastomeric material, which allows the diameter of the proximal end to expand.
- the introducer includes a sheath and a distal cap-like portion (e.g., a nose cone).
- the distal caplike portion may be removably mounted to the sheath.
- the cap-like portion may be removed from the sheath and withdrawn or recovered through the sheath.

- the present invention relates to an orifice introducer device that may be used, for example, for introducing or inserting, e.g., a surgical device, into an orifice, e.g., an oral cavity, of a body.
- a surgical device e.g., a surgical device
- an orifice e.g., an oral cavity
- the present invention will be described hereinafter in connection with an orifice introducer device that is used for introducing or inserting a surgical device into an orifice of a body.
- the present invention in accordance with other embodiments thereof, may also be used for introducing or inserting anything, e.g., a surgeon's hand, an implantable medical device, etc., into an orifice of a body.
- the present invention in accordance with other embodiments thereof, may also be used for widening or otherwise changing the shape of an orifice of a body for purposes other than introducing or inserting something into the orifice of a body, e.g., for enabling a surgeon to view externally the interior of the orifice without introducing or inserting anything therein. Still further, it should be recognized that the present invention, in accordance with other embodiments thereof, may also be used for introducing or inserting an element into any type of orifice, not merely an orifice of a body.
- the orifice introducer device of the present invention may function to prevent damage to either the orifice of the body or to the surgical instrument when the surgical instrument is being introduced or inserted, or has been introduced or inserted, into the orifice. Additionally or alternatively, the orifice introducer device may function so that a surgical instrument having a relatively large diameter may pass through an orifice having a relatively smaller diameter without damaging the orifice.
- the orifice introducer device has a first position or arrangement in which the orifice introducer device is configured to be easily inserted into an orifice.
- the orifice introducer device is adjustable to a second position or arrangement in which the orifice introducer device may accommodate, e.g., a larger surgical instrument therethrough, by, for example, maintaining, stretching or otherwise changing the shape of, an orifice so that the larger surgical device may be inserted and positioned therein.
- the orifice introducer device is configured to be sterilizable, enabling it to be used more than once.
- Figures 1 A and 1 B illustrate, in a first position and a second position, respectively, an orifice introducer device 100 suitable for introducing a surgical device into an orifice of a body, in accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention.
- the orifice introducer device 100 includes a generally tubular member 1.
- the tubular member 1 has a proximal end 1a and a distal end 1 b.
- a diameter of the distal end 1 b is, in the first position, smaller than the diameter of the proximal end 1 a.
- the distal end 1 b is generally conical or tapered in the first position.
- the distal end 1 b includes, in the embodiment shown, a longitudinal slit 2.
- Figure B illustrates the adjustability of the distal end 1 b. More specifically, Figure 1 B illustrates that, in the second position, the distal end 1b is adjusted such that an diameter of the distal end 1b is increased, e.g., expanded, relative to the diameter of the distal end 1 b in the first position. For instance, the inner diameter of the distal end 1b is expanded to allow a surgical device, for example a surgical device having a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the distal end 1b in the first position, to pass therethrough.
- the distal end 1b is adjustable by the opening of the longitudinal slit 2.
- the distal end 1b of the tubular member 1 is introduced into an orifice and is advanced in a distal direction until it achieves a desired position within the orifice.
- the relatively smaller diameter at the distal end 1 b permits the orifice introducer device 100 to be more easily introduced and advanced into the orifice.
- the proximal end 1a of the tubular member 1 remains outside of the orifice.
- a surgical instrument which may be sterilizable, may then be inserted into the tubular member 1 and may be advanced distally therethrough.
- the surgical instrument may include, for example, a surgical instrument attached to a flexible shaft of an electro-mechanical driver, as described in, for example, U.S.
- Patent No. 6,443,973 entitled “Electromechanical Driver Device For Use With Anastomosing, Stapling, and Resecting Instruments,” filed on June 2, 1999
- U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 09/510,927 entitled “An Electromechanical Driver And Remote Surgical Instruments Attachments Having Computer Assisted Control Capabilities, filed on February 22, 2000
- U.S. Patent No. 6,517,565 entitled “Carriage Assembly for Controlling a Steering Wire Steering Mechanism Within a Flexible Shaft”
- U.S. Patent No. 6,315,184 entitled “Stapling Device For Use With An Electromechanical Driver Device For User With Anastomosing, Stapling, And Resecting Instruments”
- the diameter of the distal end 1b may be adjusted, e.g., expanded, so as to permit at least a portion of the surgical instrument to enter, e.g., to extend through, the distal end 1 b.
- the expansion of the distal end 1 b may be caused by, for example, the force of the surgical instrument pushing against the inner wall of the tubular member 1.
- the distal end 1 b expands via the longitudinal slit 2, e.g., by the separation of the sides 2a and 2b of the slit 2, to allow the surgical instrument to pass therethrough.
- Figures 1 A to 1 B illustrates that the distal end 1 b of the tubular member 1 may be adjustable, e.g., expandable, alternative arrangements are possible in which the entire tubular member 1 is adjustable. Furthermore, while the embodiment of Figures 1A to 1 B illustrates that the distal end 1b of the tubular member 1 may be adjustable, e.g., expandable, via a slit 2, alternative arrangements for providing adjustability to the distal end 1 b are also possible.
- the distal end 1 b of the tubular member 1 may be formed of a stretchable material, such as an elastomeric material, whereby the force of the surgical instrument, e.g., a surgical instrument having a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the distal end 1b in a first position, against the inner wall of the tubular member 1 may stretch the material of the distal end 1 b to allow the diameter of the distal end 1 b to increase and the surgical instrument to pass therethrough.
- the distal end 1b of the tubular member 1 may include one or more seams, perforations, or weakened areas that tear, split or otherwise open or stretch to allow the inner diameter of the distal end 1 b of the tubular member 1 to increase.
- Figures 2A to 2D illustrate an orifice introducer device 200 in accordance with another example embodiment of the present invention.
- the orifice introducer device 200 includes a tubular member 21 having a proximal end 21a and a distal end 21b.
- the distal end 21b of the tubular member 21 includes a longitudinally extending v-shaped opening or slit 21 e, with a distal end of the opening 21 e being wider in the open position than a proximal end of the opening 21 e.
- each of the sides 21 c, 21 d of the opening 21 e includes a number of holes 22 through which a string 22a may be laced, threaded or corsetted.
- the proximal end 21a of the tubular member 21 includes an actuation device 20.
- the actuation device 20 may include a ring 25 or the like for gripping the string 22a.
- the ring 25 may include a hole 25a through which both ends of the string 22a pass. Specifically, the first and second ends of the string 22a are laced within the holes 22 at the distal end 21 b of the orifice introducer device 100, extend through the interior of the tubular member 21 and emerge through holes 23 and 27a, respectively. The first and second ends of the string 22a are secured to the ring 25 through the hole 25a by a crimp 26. As shown, the hole 27a may include a grommet 27 to, for example, reduce the friction of the string 22a against the sides of the hole 27a.
- the ring 25 Prior to insertion of the orifice introducer device 200 into an orifice, the ring 25 may be moved, e.g., pulled in a proximal direction, to draw the sides 21c and 21 d of the opening 21 e together and thereby reduce the diameter of the distal end 21b of the tubular member 21 as illustrated in Figure 2C.
- the reduced diameter of the distal end 21 b of the tubular member 21 permits easier insertion of the orifice introducer device 200 into an orifice.
- the diameter of the distal end 21 b of the tubular member 21 may be increased as illustrated in Figure 2D to allow a surgical instrument to be passed therethrough.
- the ring 25 may be moved in an opposite direction, e.g., in a distal direction, thereby releasing the tension on string 22a.
- an actuation device 20 such as the ring 25, at the proximal end 21 a of the tubular member 21.
- the crimp 26 may be secured to the tubular member 21 at a proximal side of the hole 27a.
- the first and second ends of the string 22a may extend through the hole 25a of the ring 25 to be connected to the crimp 26.
- the ring 25 may then be moved in one direction, e.g., distally, to decrease the diameter of the distal end 21 b of the tubular member 21 and in an opposite direction, e.g., proximally, to increase the diameter of the distal end 21 b of the tubular member 21.
- Figures 3A to 3G illustrate an orifice introducer device 400, and the use thereof, according to another example embodiment of the present invention.
- a generally tubular member 300 is provided with a distal portion 310, e.g., a nose cone, at a distal end 315 thereof.
- the tubular member 300 may be formed from, for example, a Teflon material.
- the distal portion 310 is configured to be detachably mounted to the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300.
- the distal portion 310 may be generally conically shaped or tapered so that a distal end of distal portion 310 has a smaller diameter than a proximal end of the distal portion 310 and the tubular member 300.
- the distal portion 310 is generally sized and shaped to be inserted into an orifice.
- the distal portion 310 may have an open or closed distal end, and may be, for example, tapered, conical, frusto-conical, blunt, etc., in shape.
- the proximal end 325 of the distal portion 310 may be generally annularly shaped so as to be attachable to the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300.
- the distal portion 310 may be at least partially formed from a flexible, e.g., elastomeric, material.
- the distal portion 310 may be, for example, stretched around the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300.
- distal portion 310 can be attached to the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300, including by way of non-limiting example: an electrical connection, an adhesive, a tacky composition, a coupling member, a fastener, a material which molecularly binds with the material of the tubular member, etc.
- Figure 3B is a partial cross-sectional view of the orifice introducer device 400 illustrated in Figure 3A.
- the proximal end 325 of the distal portion 310 includes an annular groove 320.
- the annular groove 320 is configured to receive the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300.
- Figure 3C shows further details of a portion of the annular groove 320.
- the annular groove 320 is configured to frictionally retain between opposing members 320a and 320b the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300.
- the distal portion 310 may be formed from a flexible, e.g., elastomeric, material.
- Figure 3D illustrates the portion of the annular groove 320 shown in Figure 3C, when the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300 is not inserted therein.
- the proximal end 325 of the distal portion 310 in which the annular groove 320 is housed is biased so as to bend inwardly, e.g., to have a reduced diameter, when the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300 is not inserted in the annular groove 320.
- the proximal end 325 of the distal portion 310 is sufficiently biased such that, when the distal end 315 of the tubular member 300 is not inserted in the annular groove 320, the inwardly-bent proximal end 325 of the distal portion 310 has an outer diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the tubular member 300.
- Figures 3E to 3G illustrate the use of the orifice introducer device 300 shown in Figures 3A to 3D, according to one example embodiment of the present invention.
- the orifice introducer device 400 is used with a tubular insertion device 330.
- Figure 3E illustrates the orifice introducer device 400 having a tubular insertion device 330 inserted therethrough.
- the tubular insertion device 330 is formed from a Teflon material.
- the tubular insertion device 330 is slidably receivable in the tubular member 300 and is configured to contact an inner wall 311 of the distal portion 310.
- the tubular insertion device 330 has a sufficient length such that, when fully inserted through the tubular member 300, a proximal end 330a of the tubular insertion device 330 extends beyond a proximal end 300a of the tubular member 300 permitting manipulation of the tubular insertion device 330 by a surgeon outside the orifice.
- the orifice introducer device of Figure 3E further includes a recovery device such as a string 340 securely attached to the inner wall 311 of the distal portion 310.
- a proximal end 340a of the string 340 extends beyond the proximal end of the tubular member 300 so that the string 340 can be held and/or pulled by a surgeon in a proximal direction while the tubular member 300 is left in position within the orifice.
- the distal portion 310 is detachably mounted on the tubular member 300 via, e.g., the annular groove 320.
- the tubular member 300, including the distal portion 310 is then introduced into the orifice.
- the tubular insertion device 330 is inserted into the tubular member 300.
- the tubular insertion device 330 may be inserted into the tubular member 300 prior to introduction and/or positioning of the tubular member 300 in the orifice.
- the tubular insertion device 330 is then advanced within the tubular member 300 in a distal direction, until the distal end of the tubular insertion device 330 contacts the inner wall 311 of the distal portion 310.
- the tubular insertion device 330 is then further distally advanced so as to cause the distal portion 310 to be detached from the proximal end 300a of the tubular member 300.
- the tubular member 300 may be pulled back proximally, while the tubular insertion device 330 is kept in place.
- Figure 3F shows, for example, the distal portion 310 after it is detached from the tubular member 300.
- the proximal end 310a of the distal portion 310 may contract.
- the proximal end 310a of the distal portion 310 contracts sufficiently such that the outer diameter of the distal portion 310 is smaller than the inside diameter of the tubular member 300.
- the tubular insertion device 330 then may be removed from the tubular member 300 by moving it proximally relative to the tubular member 300. Moreover, since upon contraction the outer diameter of the distal portion 310 is smaller than the inside diameter of the tubular member, the distal portion 310 may be withdrawn through the tubular member 300 by pulling the string 340 proximally. Thereafter, the tubular member 300 remains in position within the orifice, and a surgical device may be inserted into the proximal end of the tubular member 300 and advanced distally therethrough.
- the proximal end 310a of the distal portion 310 contracts sufficiently such that the outer diameter of the distal portion 310 is smaller than the inside diameter of the tubular insertion device 330, such that the distal portion 310 may be proximally withdrawn through the tubular insertion device 330 while leaving the tubular insertion device 330 in place within the tubular member 300.
- both the tubular member 300 and the tubular insertion device 330 may remain in position within the orifice, and a surgical device may thereafter be inserted into the proximal end 330a of the tubular insertion device 330 and advanced distally therethrough.
