  • Depth Probes or Sensors Devices of the present invention may include various depth probes or sensors that detect the location of the needle, the bone, or both. Sensors are preferably connected to a control mechanism (e.g. a logic board) that determines whether needle advancement shall begin, continue, or terminate. Control mechanisms may also be mechanical or triggers. Sensor detection and controller evaluation may be intermittent, periodic or continuous. For example, an ultrasonic detector may be used to locate the sternal cortex. In the non-limiting embodiment, shown in FIGURE 6A, tissue penetrator 40 is in the storage or undeployed position. Ultrasonic sensor 71 detects the distance between the device (e.g. flange 12) and 10 space 96. Ultrasonic sensor 71 may also detect the position of tissue penetrator 40.

  • tissue penetrator 40 is in the storage or undeployed
  • FIGURE 6B shows tissue penetrator 40 in contact with anterior cortex 95, ready for penetration.
  • Detection by ultrasonic sensor 71 allows the device to tailor further advancement of the cannula to the exact dimensions of the targeted bone (FIGURE 6C) . This may be particularly advantageous given the variability from patient to patient and variations due to compression of skin and muscle by the device operator.
  • This signaling process is outlined in the flowchart shown in FIGURE 6D. Briefly, a sensor detects tissue penetrator, bone location, or both. This data is communicated to a logic board that measures or calculates the distance from the sensor to the bone. Upon obtaining this information, the driver is activated to advance the tissue penetrator the appropriate distance to achieve bone penetration.
  • Bone cortex is very dense requiring considerable force to penetrate. As soon as the needle or drill passes through the cortex and enters the intraosseous space a pronounced change is noted in the force required to advance the needle. Resulting changes may be a decrease in torque and an increase in motor revolutions per minute (RPM) . These changes can be measured and used to switch off the motor or activate a brake to prevent additional, potentially dangerous drilling activity.
  • sensors of the invention may detect torque, revolutions per minute (RPM) , backpressure, power consumption or any other relevant measure of needle advancement .

  • spring 25 As spring 25 expands, it propels tissue penetrator 40 through anterior cortex 95 and into intraosseous space 96 (FIGURE 16D) . Thereafter, reusable handle 19 may be removed and a access to intraosseous space 96 may be gained through connector 44 (FIGURE 16E) .
  • Spring 25 need not contact connector 45, but may contact a plate or other struction (not expressly shown) that drives tissue penetrator 40 into bone 94.
  • a driver here spring 25 in accordance with the invention is shown in the undeployed, ready position. Contact with skin 92 may activate the spring 25, which causes tissue penetrator 40 to penetrate skin 92, muscle 93, and proximal cortex 95.
  • tissue penetrator 40 advances until collar 42 contacts proximal cortex 95 (FIGURE 17B) .
  • flange 32 acts as the depth control mechanism.
  • Other depth control mechanisms may also be employed such as a probe, sensor, rib and any combination thereof.
  • Hub 31 incorporates a flange 32 at its distal end to provide for skin safety and better stabilization. After insertion of tissue penetrator 40 into the 10 space hub 31 is adjusted by screw 33 or other mechanism so that it snuggly fits against the skin. Tissue penetrator 40 may be fixedly attached to screw 33 either before insertion or after insertion (e.g. by a locking mechanism) . 10 space 96 may then be aseptically accessed through connector 45.
  • One aspect of the invention is a method of establishing access to the intraosseous space including contacting the skin covering the manubrium of a subject with a device including a driver, a tissue penetrator, and a depth control mechanism, deploying the tissue penetrator.
  • a device including a driver, a tissue penetrator, and a depth control mechanism, deploying the tissue penetrator.
  • subject may include any vertebrate with a sternum.
  • the term “operator” may include anyone who uses a device of the invention including, without limitation, a health care professional and the subject.
  • the term “deploying the tissue penetrator” may mean advancing the tissue penetrator from its starting position a sufficient distance to situate the tip of the tissue penetrator in the 10 space.
  • the method may further include detaching the driver from the tissue penetrator after insertion of the tissue penetrator is achieved.
  • the operator inserts tissue penetrator 40 into the subject at the region shown in FIGURE 1.
  • Tissue penetrator 40 which includes a pressure sensor, detects the increase in pressure that occurs when the tip contacts anterior cortex 95. The sensor then activates driver 20 to advance tissue penetrator 40 until coupling end 24 (FIGURE 2) or coupling end 26 (FIGURE 3) contacts annular stop 50.
  • a connector recessed in the coupling end may be used to access 10 space 96.
  • tissue penetrator 40 includes a pressure-sensor (not expressly shown) .
  • tissue penetrator pierces the subjects skin, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue to contact bone.
  • the sensor either directly or indirectly activates motor 22 to rotate tissue penetrator 40, thereby beginning drilling into the bone.
  • gear 56 may engage ribs 55 to regulate the depth of drilling.
  • the sensor may directly or indirectly brake or block further rotation of gear 56.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à accéder à la moelle osseuse du sternum humain. L'appareil comprend un pénétrateur de tissu conçu de manière à pénétrer dans le sternum, un mécanisme de détente conçu de manière à se mettre en prise lorsque le pénétrateur de tissu entre en contact avec le sternum et un mécanisme de commande de profondeur utilisé afin de limiter la pénétration du pénétrateur de tissu dans le sternum à une profondeur prédéfinie.
