Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine chirurgische Vorrichtung mit zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Teilen und mit einer Klemmeinrichtung zur Festlegung der Teile relativ zueinander.The The invention relates to a surgical device with two relative mutually movable parts and with a clamping device for Fixing the parts relative to each other.
Bei chirurgischen Vorrichtungen, insbesondere solchen, die in den Körper implantiert werden, also beispielsweise bei Knochenersatzimplantaten, bei Endoprothesen oder bei orthopädischen Haltevorrichtungen, besteht häufig das Problem, daß Teile dieser Vorrichtung zunächst gegeneinander bewegt werden müssen, beispielsweise zur Lageanpassung oder zur Formanpassung der chirurgischen Vorrichtung bei der Implantation, und daß danach diese Teile relativ zueinander fixiert werden müssen. Es ist dazu bekannt, diese Teile über eine Klemmeinrichtung relativ zueinander festzulegen, viele dieser bekannten Klemmeinrichtungen arbeiten mit mechanisch verstellbaren Klemmelementen, beispielsweise mit Klemmschrauben, mit Exzentern oder ähnlichen manuell zu verstellenden Teilen. Obwohl dies in vielen Fällen ausreicht, kann es schwierig sein, diese Klemmelemente zu betätigen, da sie häufig an sehr schwer zugänglichen Stellen plaziert werden.at surgical devices, especially those implanted in the body For example, in bone replacement implants, in endoprostheses or orthopedic Holding devices, often exists the problem that parts of this Device first have to be moved against each other, for example, to adapt the position or to adapt the shape of the surgical Device during implantation, and that thereafter these parts relative must be fixed to each other. It is known to relatively these parts via a clamping device to fix each other, many of these known clamping devices work with mechanically adjustable clamping elements, for example with clamping screws, with eccentrics or similar manually adjustable Share. Although in many cases sufficient, it may be difficult to operate these clamping elements, as they often very difficult to access Jobs are placed.
Es
ist auch bekannt, Klemmeinrichtungen mit Klemmelementen zu verwenden,
die durch Teile aus sogenanntem Formgedächtnismetallen bestehen. Diese
Metalle haben die Eigenschaft, daß sie beim Überschreiten einer bestimmten Übergangstemperatur
ihre Kristallstruktur so ändern,
daß ihre Form
geändert
wird. Diese Formänderung
kann verwendet werden, um eine Klemmung von zwei Teilen herbeizuführen (
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gattungsgemäße chirurgische Vorrichtung so auszubilden, daß auf einfache Weise eine Lösung oder Klemmung der gegeneinander beweglichen Teile erreicht werden kann, ohne daß dazu eine manuelle Betätigung notwendig ist und ohne daß dazu Formgedächtnislegierungen benutzt werden müssen.It Object of the invention, a generic surgical device form so that on simple way a solution or clamping of the mutually movable parts can be achieved can, without that a manual operation is necessary is and without that Shape Memory Alloys must be used.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer chirurgischen Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Klemmeinrichtung zur Erzeugung von Klemmkräften mindestens einen Bereich aufweist, der mit einem Material gefüllt ist, welches abhängig von seinem Flüssigkeitsgehalt und/oder abhängig von seiner Temperatur sein Volumen so stark verändert, daß die Klemmeinrichtung von einem Freigabezustand in einen Klemmzustand übergeht.These Task is in a surgical device of the type described above Type according to the invention thereby solved, that the Clamping device for generating clamping forces at least one area which is filled with a material which depends on its liquid content and / or dependent from its temperature its volume changed so much that the clamping device of a release state in a clamping state passes.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Entwicklung werden also bewußt Materialien eingesetzt, die entweder abhängig von ihrem Flüssigkeitsgehalt oder abhängig von der Temperatur – gegebenenfalls auch abhängig von beiden Parametern – ein starkes Volumenänderungsverhalten zeigen. Dieses Volumenänderungsverhalten geht über das normale Volumenänderungsverhalten aufgrund der atomaren Bewegung deutlich hinaus, es handelt sich vielmehr um ein Volumenverhalten, welches durch einen Umbau der Struktur des Materials bedingt wird, bei temperaturabhängiger Volumenveränderung beispielsweise durch einen reversiblen Umbau des Kristallgitters des Materials, bei einer Volumenveränderung durch den Flüssigkeitsgehalt entweder durch die osmotische Wirkung des Materials oder durch eine atomare oder molekulare Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Material und der Flüssigkeit, selbstverständlich sind auch Kombinationen dieser Effekte möglich.in the So the framework of the present development becomes consciously materials used, which is either dependent from their fluid content or dependent from the temperature - if necessary also dependent from both parameters - a strong volume change behavior demonstrate. This volume change behavior goes over the normal volume change behavior due to the atomic movement clearly, it is Rather, it is a volume behavior that results from a reconstruction of the structure of the material, with temperature-dependent volume change for example, by a reversible conversion of the crystal lattice of Materials, with a change in volume by the liquid content either by the osmotic action of the material or by a atomic or molecular interaction between the material and the liquid, Of course combinations of these effects are also possible.
Beispielsweise kann gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform das Material ein unter Flüssigkeitszufuhr quellendes Material sein, beispielsweise ein Hydrogel.For example can according to a preferred embodiment the material under hydration be swelling material, such as a hydrogel.
An
sich sind derartige Substanzen bereits bekannt und werden auch bei
chirurgischen Knochenschrauben, Prothesenschäften und dergleichen eingesetzt,
um diese Elemente im Knochen zu fixieren. Dabei werden diese chirurgischen
Halteelemente oberflächlich
mit einer solchen Hydrogel-Substanz beschichtet, dieses Substanz
soll den sonst üblichen, aushärtbaren
Knochenzement ersetzen, der sonst zur Festlegung dieser Halteelemente
in Knochenhohlräumen
verwendet wird (
Besonders
vorteilhaft ist es bei der Erfindung, wenn das Material ein Polymer
ist, insbesondere kann das Material aus einem der folgenden Materialien
be stehen oder zumindest eines der folgenden Materialien als Bestandteil
enthalten:
Polyvinylalkohol
Polyacrylat
Polyacrylsäure
Polyhydroxyalkylacrylat
Polyacrylonitril
Polyacrylamid
Polyhydroxyalcyl-2-Methylacrylat
Polyvinylphyrrolidon
Copolymer
und Terpolymere auf der Basis von N-Vinylphyrrolidon, Acrylsäure, Hydroxy-Alkylacrylat, Acrylamid.It is particularly advantageous in the invention, when the material is a polymer, in particular, the material of any of the following materials be available or contain at least one of the following materials as a component:
polyvinyl alcohol
polyacrylate
polyacrylic acid
polyhydroxyalkyl acrylate
polyacrylonitrile
polyacrylamide
Polyhydroxyalcyl-2-methyl
Polyvinylphyrrolidon
Copolymer and terpolymers based on N-vinylphyrrolidone, acrylic acid, hydroxy-alkyl acrylate, acrylamide.
Es handelt sich bei diesen Substanzen um solche, die bei Zufuhr von Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise Wasser, ein stark quellendes Verhalten haben und damit ihr Volumen stark vergrößern, dieser Vorgang ist reversibel.It these substances are those which, on supply of Liquid, For example, water, have a strong swelling behavior and thus greatly increase their volume, this one Process is reversible.
Wenn Material verwendet wird, dessen Volumenänderung durch eine Temperaturänderung verursacht wird, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Material ein Kunststoff ist, der beim Überschreiten einer Übergangstemperatur sprunghaft sein Volumen ändert, dies wird in der Regel durch eine Umlagerung des Kristallgitters des Kunststoffes erreicht.If Material is used, its volume change due to a change in temperature is caused, it is particularly advantageous if the material a plastic is when passing a transition temperature leaps in volume, This is usually done by rearrangement of the crystal lattice reached the plastic.
Beispielsweise könnte das Material Polytetrafluorethylen sein.For example could the material be polytetrafluoroethylene.
Die relativ zueinander festzulegenden Teile können beispielsweise die Teile einer orthopädischen Halteeinrichtung sein, wie sie zur Stabilisierung der Wirbelsäule eingesetzt wird, es kann sich dabei um Teile einer Endoprothese handeln oder auch um Teile eines Implantates, welches beispielsweise als Knochenersatzimplantat eingesetzt wird.The For example, the parts can be defined relative to one another an orthopedic holding device as it is used to stabilize the spine, it can These are parts of an endoprosthesis or even parts of a Implantates, for example, used as a bone replacement implant becomes.
Gemäß einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist dabei vorgesehen, daß das Material zwischen den beiden relativ zueinander festzulegenden Teilen angeordnet ist und direkt an beiden Teilen anliegt. Die Festlegung der beiden Teile erfolgt also dadurch, daß zwischen ihnen das expandierende Material angeordnet ist, das im expandierten Zustand an beiden Teilen anliegt und diese dadurch über einen Kraftschluß und gegebenenfalls über einen Formschluß relativ zueinander festlegt.According to one first preferred embodiment is provided that the Material between the two relative to each other parts to be determined is arranged and rests directly on both parts. The determination the two parts thus takes place in that between them the expanding material is arranged, which rests in the expanded state on both parts and this over a frictional connection and optionally via a positive engagement relative determines each other.
Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, daß das Material in einer einseitig offenen Aufnahmekammer eines der beiden Teile angeordnet ist und daß das andere Teil diese Aufnahmekammer verschließt.For example can be provided that the Material in a unilaterally open receiving chamber of one of the two Parts is arranged and that the other part closes this receiving chamber.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform füllt das Material einen Ringraum zwischen einer Öffnung des einen Teils und dem anderen Teil aus, welches in die Öffnung eintaucht und kleinere Außenabmessungen aufweist als die Öffnung.at another embodiment fills the material an annulus between an opening one part and the other part, which dips into the opening and smaller outer dimensions as the opening.
Es ist auch möglich, daß das eine Teil als Hülse ausgebildet ist, die an ihrer Innenseite eine Schicht des Materials trägt.It is possible, too, that this a part as a sleeve is formed, on its inside a layer of the material wearing.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß das Material zwischen zwei relativ zueinander beweglichen Elementen angeordnet ist, die durch ihre Relativbewegung die beiden Teile durch Verklemmung über einen Kraftschluß und/oder einen Formschluß festlegen.at a further preferred embodiment is provided that the Material between two relatively movable elements is arranged, which by their relative movement, the two parts by jamming over a frictional connection and / or define a form fit.
Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß mindestens eines der beiden beweglichen Elemente durch eines der beiden Teile selbst gebildet wird.there can be provided that at least one of the two moving elements through one of the two parts itself is formed.
Die Festlegung der beiden Teile kann durch einen reinen Kraftschluß erfolgen, es ist aber auch möglich, daß durch die Volumenvergrößerung ein Formschluß der beiden relativ zueinander festzulegenden Teile erfolgt, Kraftschluß und Formschluß können auch gemeinsam auftreten.The Determining the two parts can be done by a pure adhesion, but it is also possible that by the increase in volume a positive connection of the two Relative to each other parts to be determined, adhesion and positive engagement can also occur together.
Das Material kann von einer Membran oder einem Netz umgeben sein, so daß das Material zusammengehalten wird, beispielsweise in Schlauchform oder in Kissenform.The Material may be surrounded by a membrane or a net, so that this Material is held together, for example in tube form or in pillow form.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Membran für das Material undurchlässig und für Flüssigkeiten durchlässig ist, so daß Flüssigkeit in den Innenraum der Membran eindringen und dort die Quellung und damit die Volumenvergrößerung des Materials bewirken kann.It is advantageous if the membrane is impermeable to the material and for liquids permeable is, so that liquid penetrate into the interior of the membrane and there the swelling and thus the volume increase of the Material can cause.
Die nachfolgende Beschreibung bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung dient im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung der näheren Erläuterung. Es zeigen:The following description of preferred embodiments of the invention used in conjunction with the drawings for further explanation. Show it:
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an unterschiedlichen Beispielen von Verbindungen von zwei Teilen erörtert, diese Teile sind Teile von chirurgischen Vorrichtungen, beispielsweise von orthopädischen Haltevorrichtungen, wie sie im Wirbelsäulenbereich eingesetzt werden, von Implantaten oder Endoprothesen.The Invention will be described below by way of different examples of compounds of two parts discussed, these parts are parts of surgical devices, for example of orthopedic Holding devices, such as those used in the spinal region, of implants or endoprostheses.
Ein häufiges Problem bei derartigen chirurgischen Vorrichtungen, insbesondere bei orthopädischen Haltevorrichtungen, ist die Festlegung eines Stabes relativ zu einem Klemmelement, welches dann gegebenenfalls zusätzlich mit einem weiteren Stab verbunden ist, so daß aus diesen Stäben Haltevorrichtungen der gewünschten Form aufgebaut werden können, die dann über Knochenschrauben mit den zu stabilisierenden Knochenstrukturen verbunden werden. Es ist zum Beispiel häufig notwendig, derartige Stäbe mit Pedikelschrauben zu verbinden, die in den Wirbelkörper der Wirbelsäule eingeschraubt werden, und diese Verbindung zwischen Pedikelschrauben und Stäben wird über spezielle Klemmstücke hergestellt.One frequent Problem with such surgical devices, in particular in orthopedic Holding devices, is the definition of a rod relative to a Clamping element, which then optionally additionally with another rod is connected, so that out these bars Holding devices of the desired Form can be built then over Bone screws connected to the bone structures to be stabilized become. It is common, for example necessary, such rods to connect with pedicle screws, which in the vertebral body of the spinal column be screwed in, and this connection between pedicle screws and bars will over special clamping pieces produced.
