Medical device capable of being repeatedly opened and closed
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for closing tissues, belonging to a medical device used in a human body.
Background
In existing medical devices for tissue closure in the human body, releasable tissue closure clips are commonly used devices that deliver a clip body to a location to be closed in the human body by a delivery device, close the clip by actuating a wire and retain the clip body in the body after the clip has gripped the tissue and closed the lock by self-locking or other locking the clip body, thereby achieving tissue closure. How to realize a rapid and effective release process is a key point of safe and effective use of such devices and is also a difficulty in improving the structure.
The prior patent CN103989500A discloses that the clip assembly comprises a clamping assembly and a clamping seat, a release part connected with the clamping seat comprises a transition cap, a connecting part, a buckle, a pawl and other parts, the sleeved structure among the parts is relatively complex, the pawl needs to be precisely matched with a hole at the proximal end of the clamping seat, and the difficulty of the assembly and manufacturing process is relatively high. Document EP1328199B1 discloses a plurality of modes of releasably connecting the outer sheath tube of the locking clip arm with the connecting tube, and in various modes adopted by the method, sliding friction exists between the connecting tube and the outer sheath tube in the release process, namely, when the connecting tube is separated from the outer sheath tube, the connecting tube needs to overcome the friction force between the connecting tube and the outer sheath tube, so that the release can be realized, the separation principle leads to poor smoothness degree in the process of closing the clip assembly, and an operator needs to pay greater pulling force in the release process so as to realize the release of the clip, and correspondingly, greater difficulty also exists in the assembly process.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.

Fig. 1-11 illustrate a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein fig. 1 is an overall view of a reclosable tissue closure device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the tissue closure device capable of being opened and closed repeatedly comprises a closure clip 1, which is provided with two clip legs 11 with distal ends capable of being opened or closed relatively; the device comprises a clamping seat 2, a clamping leg 11, a control wire 5, an outer sleeve 4, an actuator 7, a handle 6 and a control wire, wherein the proximal end of the clamping leg 11 is pivoted to the clamping seat 2 through a positioning pin 21 fixed to the distal end of the clamping seat 2, when the closed clamp 1 is in a closed state, the proximal end of the clamping leg 11 is accommodated in the clamping seat 2, the distal end of the control wire 5 is pivoted with the proximal end of the clamping leg 11 through an actuating pin 22 and further drives the closed clamp 1 to open or close through pulling the control wire 5, the outer sleeve 4 is sleeved outside the control wire 5 and is used for protecting the control wire and supporting the control wire to axially move, the distal end side of the outer sleeve can rotate relative to the proximal end side, the proximal end side of the outer sleeve is connected with the handle, the actuator 7 is fixedly connected with the proximal end of the control wire 5 and drives the control wire 5 to move along the axial direction, the handle 6 is fixedly connected with the proximal end of the outer sleeve 4 and limits the displacement of the actuator 7 along the axial line, the proximal end of the control wire 5 is provided with a step pipe so as to be in clamping connection with the inner wall step of the distal end of the handle, and the step of the proximal end of the control wire is in a circular pipe shape, and the outer step pipe of the proximal end of the control wire is used for realizing a special-shaped structure which is not in the handle.
As shown in fig. 2-3 and 11, the re-openable and closable tissue closure device further comprises a releasable connecting member 3 having a generally tubular structure, a proximal end of which is coupled to the outer sleeve 4, and a radially expandable structure 31 at a distal end side thereof, a distal end portion of the expandable structure 31 being engaged with an outer wall of a proximal end portion of the holder 2, and an expansion actuating member 55 provided at a distal end of the control wire 5, the expansion actuating member 55 abutting against an inner wall of the expandable structure 31 and providing a driving force for radially expanding the expandable structure 31 when the control wire 5 is pulled proximally, and driving the distal end side of the expandable structure 31 to radially expand, thereby releasing the holder 2. Wherein the expandable structure 31 is made of an elastically deformable material, a shape recovery can be achieved upon removal of the compressive force provided by the expansion actuating member 55. In addition, in this embodiment, the distal end of the releasable connecting member 3 has an engaging key 33, the outer wall of the proximal end of the holder 2 is provided with an engaging groove 26 in the circumferential direction, and the engaging key 33 is located in the engaging groove 26 in a natural state to achieve engagement of the holder 2 with the releasable connecting member 3, and the engaging key 33 preferably extends perpendicularly to the central axis of the releasable connecting member 3.
In this embodiment, in operation, the outer sleeve 4 is fixed on the core rod of the handle 6 and plays a role in supporting the backward force of the control wire 5 when the actuator 7, which is limited and slid by the control wire 5 on the handle 6, moves backward relative to the core rod of the handle 6, so as to force the distal end of the control wire 5 to break or deform, or the proximal actuating pin 22 to deform or break, so that the expandable structure 31 is opened by the lateral compression force generated by the expansion actuating member 55 when the control wire 5 moves backward when the distal end of the control wire is separated from the actuating pin 22, and at this time, the engagement key 33 at the distal end of the expandable structure 31 is separated from the engagement groove 26 circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the proximal end of the clip, thereby realizing the separation of the closure clip 1 from the releasable connecting member 3, and thus being retained in the body. In operation, torque generated when the handle 6 is rotated can be transmitted forward through the control wire 5, and the axial direction cannot move back and forth, but rotational movement about the axial direction can be realized due to the clearance fit of the engagement groove 26 on the outer wall of the proximal end of the holder 2 and the engagement key 33 at the distal end of the expandable structure 31.
Based on the above design, the operator only needs to pull the control wire 5 to the proximal end, so that the closing clip 1 is in a locking closing state, and when the pulling force is greater than a threshold value, the expandable structure 31 is pressed and expanded by the expansion actuating component 55, the clip seat can realize release, and the structure is simple, no sliding friction exists in the whole release process, the operation hand feeling is smoother, and the application convenience of the user is greatly improved. Compared with the existing self-closing clip release structure, the invention has the greatest improvement innovation that the radial expansion release structure and the clip assembly which is connected through the pivot are effectively and organically combined together, so that the advantages of simple structure, quick release and the like of the radial expansion release component are reserved, and the advantages of no friction, smooth hand feeling and the like of the pivotally-combined clip assembly are also reserved. In particular, the clip assembly in the prior art can be classified into a self-closing clip made of metal material (for example, patent document EP1328199B 1) and a pivoting connection clip similar to a biopsy forceps structure (for example, patent document CN103989500 a), the former is in a normally closed state under the condition of no external force by relying on the elastic memory effect of the clip, so the release structure is designed without considering the problem of release process and clip closing linkage, the clip has the defects of uncontrollable holding force caused by self-closing, difficult design of the clip opening structure, and the like, while the pivoting connection clip has the design difficulty due to the connection of the pivoting structure and the control wire, and the conventional solution for the skilled person is to design the clip holder or the outer sleeve of the fixing clip assembly into a cylindrical structure with a fixed clamping channel so as to meet the relatively stable opening or closing position of the clip assembly, and it is difficult to think that the clip holder or the outer sleeve playing the fixing and limiting roles is designed into radial deformation. The research and development personnel of the invention continuously explore and try in the test, creatively combine the radial expansion support and the pivot connection clip assembly, and realize the tissue closing device which has simple structure and better operation hand feeling and can be repeatedly opened and closed through the specific structural design mode.
The specific structure of the releasable connecting member 3 in this embodiment will be further described based on fig. 2 to 3. The releasable connecting member 3 is a cylindrical structure having a central passage, and 4 slits 32 extending from a distal end to a proximal end are formed on a side wall thereof at equal intervals, so that an expandable structure 31 having a distal end side capable of expanding outwardly is formed, so that when the expansion actuating member 55 moves proximally and abuts against an inner wall of the expandable structure 31, the slits 32 are caused to expand under the driving of a pressing force, and an engagement key 33 on the distal end side of the expandable structure 31 is disengaged from the engagement groove 26 on the proximal outer wall of the holder, thereby releasing the holder. Of course, the number of slots 32 may vary depending on the actual device size, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., all of which enable expansion of the expandable structure 31.
The specific structure of the closure clip 1 and the clip holder 2 in the first embodiment will be described based on fig. 4 to 9. The closure clip 1 according to the invention preferably has two oppositely disposed legs 11, the proximal end of each leg 11 having a slot for receiving a locating pin 21, the slot having a first region 14 at the proximal end and a second region 15 at the distal end, the first region 14 and the second region 15 having an angle which is dimensioned to control the maximum angle of opening between the legs. Defined by the first and second sections, the two legs 11 can be repeatedly opened or closed when the positioning pin 21 moves in the first section 14, and the two legs 11 are brought into a locked closed state when the positioning pin 21 enters the second section 15. Wherein, the intersection part of the first area 14 and the second area 15 is provided with a locking protrusion 16, so that the inner diameter of the chute is smaller than the diameter of the positioning pin 21, and when the driving force applied by the actuator 7 towards the proximal end is larger than a threshold value, the positioning pin 21 presses the locking protrusion 16 to deform, and then the first area 14 enters the second area 15. In this embodiment, the center line of the first region 14 is far away from the closed staple line of the clamping legs from the proximal end to the distal end, and the center line of the second region 15 is parallel to the closed staple line a of the clamping legs, so that when the positioning pin 21 moves in the first region 14, the two clamping legs 11 can be repeatedly opened or closed, and when the positioning pin enters the second region 15, the two clamping legs can be tightly closed. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the locking protrusion 16 is located on the inner wall of the chute near the side of the closing line a of the leg, and the locking protrusion 16 has a hole 17, when the locking protrusion 16 is pressed by the positioning pin 21, the hole 17 is compressively deformed, the inner diameter of the chute at the inflection point increases, and the positioning pin 21 enters the second region 15.
The clip leg 11 is preferably an integrally formed structure, and has a distal end for holding tissue, a holding portion 12, and a movable portion 13 that can be accommodated in the clip holder 2, and the chute is located in the movable portion 13. The proximal end of each clamping leg 11 is provided with a clamping leg tail hole 18, an actuating pin shaft 22 passes through the clamping leg tail hole 18, so that each clamping leg is pivotally connected through the actuating pin shaft 22, meanwhile, the distal end of the control wire 5 is provided with a closing hole structure 54, and the closing hole structure 54 is also pivoted on the actuating pin shaft 22, so that the two clamping legs 11 are driven to be opened or closed relatively in the process of pulling the control wire 5 through a cam structure at the tail part of each clamping leg. Wherein, the closed hole structure 54 at the distal end of the control wire 5 can be replaced by a hook structure, and the hook structure or the closed hole structure 54 at the distal end of the control wire 5 breaks or deforms to separate from the actuating pin 22 or the actuating pin 22 breaks or breaks to separate from the distal end structure of the control wire 5 during the process of locking the closed clamp 1. In addition, the leg tail holes 18 at the tail ends of the legs may be circular or oblong to provide a pivotal connection.
As shown in fig. 6, the proximal ends of the two clamping legs 11 of the closing clamp 1 are respectively provided with a clamping hook 19, and after the control line moves proximally to drive the two clamping legs to be closed, the clamping hooks 19 are clamped with the locking bosses 27 on the proximal inner wall of the clamping seat 2, so that a locking closed state is formed, and the clamping legs 11 cannot be opened again.
In this embodiment, in order to make the control wire 5 better transmit torque and the front end have flexibility to smoothly pass through the endoscope channel, the control wire 5 may be composed of a multi-segment wire in which the distal end portion 51 is wound with a plurality of strands of steel wires and the proximal end portion 53 is made of a single strand of steel wire and has high hardness to transmit axial force and rotational torque. The control wire connection tube 52 serves to connect the distal end portion 51 and the proximal end portion 53, and may be fixed by caulking or welding 92 at both ends. Further, a polymer plastic tube for controlling the gap and reducing the friction force is arranged in the outer sleeve 4, preferably, the outer sleeve 4 has a double-layer structure formed by the gap nesting of an outer tube and an inner tube, and the inner tube is made of a polymer material with a low friction coefficient.

As shown in FIG. 11, which is a preferred outer sleeve configuration, a transition tube 41 is provided between the proximal end of the releasable connecting member 3 and the distal end of the outer sleeve 4. A return spring 42 is provided in the transition tube 41, and is fixedly engaged with or abutted against the proximal end surface of the expansion actuating member 55 sleeved outside the control wire 5, so as to provide an elastic force for distally returning the expansion actuating member 55, so as to ensure that after the pulling force of the control wire to the proximal end is eliminated, the expansion actuating member 55 is restored to the distal end of the releasable connecting member 3 under the action of the return spring, and further, the pressing force for expanding the expandable structure 31 outwards is eliminated, and the expandable structure 31 elastically returns to the original natural state. By employing a return spring, the releasable connecting member 3 can be returned to the original state in a minimum time.
In the second embodiment shown in fig. 12-15, the structure of the releasable connecting member 3 in the first embodiment is modified. In this embodiment, the releasable attachment means 3 'comprises a generally tubular expandable structure formed by four axially extending and spaced apart expansion tabs 31', and an expansion tab base 32', wherein the proximal end of each expansion tab 31' is fixedly engaged with the distal end of the expansion tab base 32 'such that the distal end of the expansion tab 31' expands outwardly around a retaining ring 35 'on the outer wall of the expansion tab base 32' when subjected to a proximally directed compressive force by the expansion actuating means 55, thereby releasing the clip 2. Wherein the distal outer wall of the expansion plate 31' is provided with a circumferentially extending ring 33' for receiving a resiliently retractable ring 34' surrounding the expandable structure. The distal end of the expansion sheet base 32' is provided with a clamping groove fixedly combined with the distal end of the expansion sheet 31', the outer walls of the expansion sheet 31' and the expansion sheet base 32' are provided with continuous fixing grooves 36' extending along the axial direction so as to accommodate the positioning rings 35', and the outer wall of the distal end side of the expansion sheet 31' is provided with expansion grooves 33' extending along the circumferential direction so as to accommodate the elastically retractable annular piece 34' surrounding the expandable structure.
In this embodiment, in operation, when the control wire 5 moves backward, the expansion actuating member 55 generates a lateral compression force, at this time, the proximal ends of the expansion pieces 31 'are tightly connected with the expansion base 32' under the fastening action of the positioning ring 35', and the distal ends of the expansion pieces 31' are subjected to the lateral compression force, the elastically retractable ring 34 'expands, and the expansion pieces 31' expand outward with the positioning ring 35 'as an axis, thereby separating the closure clip 1 from the releasable connecting member 3', so that the closure clip 1 stays in the body.
In the configuration structure of the control wire 5 and the expansion actuating member 55 shown in fig. 16-17, the expansion actuating member 55 is a reverse taper structure sleeved at the distal end of the control wire 5 and gradually reduced from far to near along the axial direction, the inner wall of the expandable structure 31 in the releasable connecting member 3 is provided with an expansion boss 38, and when the control wire 5 moves proximally, the expansion actuating member 55 is driven to move proximally and abut against the expansion boss 38 to drive the distal end side of the expandable structure 31 to expand radially. Further, the distal end of the control wire 5 has a stepped structure that abuts the distal end surface of the expansion actuating member 55 to drive the expansion actuating member 55 to move proximally when the control wire 5 moves proximally.
In another preferred configuration of the control wire 5 and the expansion actuating member 55 shown in fig. 18-19, the expansion actuating member 55 may be replaced by a cylindrical or spherical structure, wherein the inner wall of the expandable structure 31 in the releasable connecting member 3 is funnel-shaped with a decreasing distance from the central axis from the distal end to the proximal end, and when the control wire 5 is moved proximally, the expansion actuating member 55 is moved proximally and abuts the inner wall of the expandable structure 31 to drive the distal end of the expandable structure 31 to expand radially.
