Definitions
- the present invention relates to an insertion system for implanting a medical device and to surgical methods for utilizing the same.
- Orthopedic surgeries are commonly performed to repair and replace damaged bone and tissue in the human body.
- a surgeon may create an incision and, if necessary, may retract the surrounding tissue to provide the necessary visual and physical access to the damaged bone and tissue. Once the incision is made and the tissue retracted, the surgeon will perform the necessary repair or replacement procedures. For example, if the meniscus of the knee is damaged the surgeon may perform a meniscectomy, i.e., remove a portion of a meniscus in the knee.
- the present invention relates to an insertion system for medical devices and to surgical methods for the implantation of the same.
- the implantation system includes a guide wire and an insertion tool.
- the insertion tool includes a longitudinal bore extending therethrough for receipt of the guide wire.
- a portion of the longitudinal bore of the insertion tool mates with the outer surface of the guide wire to rotationally lock the insertion tool and the guide wire.
- the medical device to be inserted includes a longitudinal bore for receipt of the guide wire.
- at least a portion of the longitudinal bore of the medical device may also mate with the outer surface of the guide wire to rotationally lock the medical device and the guide wire.
- the rotational locks allow for rotation of the insertion tool to result in corresponding rotation of the medical device via rotation of the guide wire.
- the insertion tool includes features which allow for filament management, i.e., reduce or prevent filament entanglement during medical device insertion.
- the insertion system further includes a needle having an eyelet for receiving and positioning filaments attached to the medical device.
- the present insertion system allows for the insertion of the medical device without any direct mechanical connection between the medical device and the insertion tool. This allows the surgeon to easily maneuver the insertion tool without correspondingly altering the position of the medical device, i.e., the insertion tool and the medical device are independently axially movable along the guide wire. Additionally, by utilizing the guide wire to rotate the medical device, rotational force may be provided along a greater length of the medical device instead of at a single point connected to the insertion tool.
- the present invention provides an insertion system for a medical device comprising a guide wire having an outer surface; a medical device having a first inner surface, the first inner surface defining a first bore adapted for receiving the guide wire therethrough; whereby the guide wire and the medical device are rotationally locked when the guide wire is received through the first bore; and an insertion tool having a second inner surface, the second inner surface defining a second bore adapted for receiving the guide wire therethrough, whereby the guide wire and the insertion tool are rotationally locked when the guide wire is received in the second bore.
- the present invention provides An insertion system for a medical device comprising: a guide wire having an outer surface; a medical device having an inner surface defining a bore extending therethrough, the bore adapted to receive the guide wire therein, wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of the guide wire and at least portion of the inner surface of the medical device are in mating engagement when the guide wire is received in the bore; and an insertion tool having an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore extending therethrough, the longitudinal bore adapted to receive the guide wire therein, wherein at least a portion of the inner surface of the longitudinal bore and at least of portion of the outer surface of the guide wire are in mating engagement when the guide wire is received in the longitudinal bore.

- needle 60 further includes sharpened tip 66 at distal end 68 to facilitate insertion.
- needle 60 is inserted into the patient's body using known minimally invasive or arthroscopic techniques. Either before or after needle 60 is inserted into the patient's body, filament 21 is inserted through eyelet 62 and distal end 68 of needle 60 is inserted into meniscus 10 at insertion point 70. Insertion point 70 may be any point in meniscus 10 through which a surgeon desires to place filament 21. Needle 60 may then be pushed through outer wall 72 of meniscus 10 and is then removed from meniscus 10. Once needle 60 is removed from meniscus 10, filament 21 may be removed from eyelet 62 of needle 60 and needle 60 may be completely removed from the patient's body. Depending on the surgical technique utilized, removal of needle 60 from the patient's body may require an additional incision adjacent outer wall 72 of meniscus 10.
- needle 60 is reinserted using known minimally invasive or arthroscopic techniques and filament 22 is then inserted through eyelet 62 of needle 60.
- Distal end 68 of needle 60 is then inserted into meniscus 10 at insertion point 71.
- insertion point 71 may be any point in meniscus 10 through which a surgeon desires to place filament 22.
- Needle 60 may then be pushed through outer wall 72 of meniscus 10 and removed from meniscus 10. Once needle 60 is removed from meniscus 10, needle 60 may be completely removed from the patient's body and filament 22 removed from eyelet 62 of needle 60.
- a pair of needles 60 are used, one for filament 21 and one for filament 22, allowing the surgeon to position filaments 21, 22 substantially simultaneously.
- Filaments 21, 22 may then be secured to one another by any known method, such as by knot 74, shown in FIG. 8. Additionally, other methods of securing filaments 21, 22 together may be used, such as those methods disclosed in the above-incorporated patent application entitled MEDICAL DEVICE FOR REPAIR OF TISSUE AND METHOD FOR IMPLANTATION AND FIXATION. Once secured, the ends of filaments 21, 22 may be trimmed and the excess removed.
