Description

本発明は、概して、外科用ステープリング装置、より具体的には、その後の外科手術における再利用のために、分解され、部分的に再生され、滅菌することができ、かつ単一の患者の手術中に複数のステープルカートリッジと共に再利用することができる、除去可能なアクチュエータモジュールを備える、外科用ステープラに関する。   The present invention generally relates to a surgical stapling device, more specifically, can be disassembled, partially regenerated, sterilized and reused in a single patient for reuse in subsequent surgery. The present invention relates to a surgical stapler comprising a removable actuator module that can be reused with a plurality of staple cartridges during surgery.

外科用ステープラが導入される以前、外科医は、患者の組織を共に縫い合わせるのに膨大な時間を費やさなければならなかった。これは、最も時間を集約する、外科手術の側面であった。外科用ステープラは、ユーザーが組織を共に縫い合わせるのに費やす時間を短縮させた。そのような外科用ステープラは、以下の発行された米国特許(ChowらのUS第4633861号、ChowらのUS第4633874号、及びSchulzeらのUS第5129570号)に説明されており、これらは、参照によって、本明細書に組み込まれる。   Prior to the introduction of surgical staplers, surgeons had to spend enormous amounts of time stitching together patient tissue. This was the most time intensive aspect of surgery. Surgical staplers have reduced the time spent by users sewing together tissue. Such surgical staplers are described in the following issued US patents (Chow et al. US Pat. No. 4,633,861, Chow et al. US Pat. No. 4,633,874, and Schulze et al. US Pat. No. 5,129,570), which are Which is incorporated herein by reference.

外科用ステープラの1つの懸念は、手術中に使用されるステープラが滅菌であることを保証することである。再利用可能なステープラは、典型的には、使用後に滅菌することが困難である、比較的複雑な機械的装置であった。したがって、かつては外科用ステープラが完全に使い捨てであることが望ましかった。1つ以上の外科用ステープラが外科手術において必要とされ得るため、経済的理由により、再装填可能なステープルカートリッジを備える使い捨て外科用ステープラが開発されてきた。これらの再装填可能なステープルカートリッジは、ステープル及びステープルを排出するための発射モジュールの組み合わせからなっていた。典型的には、切断装置は、発射モジュール内に含まれる。したがって、ステープラが新たなステープルカートリッジで再装填される度に、新たなメス及び発射アセンブリもまた、ステープラ内に挿入される。通常、数々のステープルカートリッジが、患者の単一手術中に使用され、それによって、同一の患者のためにメス及び発射要素が繰り返し交換された。通常、メスは、ステープルカートリッジが空になった後に摩滅するため、メス及び発射アセンブリは、同一の患者内で、更なるステープルカートリッジと共に再利用することができるであろう。患者の単一手術において発射アセンブリを再利用することによって、更なる滅菌工程が不必要であり、手術中に発生した費用を低減することができる。近年、一部分が使い捨て可能であり、かつ一部分がその後の手術において再利用可能であるように、外科用ステープラの部品を再利用可能にする要望も存在している。ステープラの部品を再利用することによって、外科手術に付随する費用が低減され、かつ外科的廃棄物も減少される。   One concern with surgical staplers is to ensure that the stapler used during surgery is sterile. Reusable staplers have typically been relatively complex mechanical devices that are difficult to sterilize after use. Therefore, it was once desirable to have a surgical stapler that is completely disposable. Disposable surgical staplers with reloadable staple cartridges have been developed for economic reasons, as more than one surgical stapler may be required in a surgical procedure. These reloadable staple cartridges consisted of a combination of staples and firing modules for ejecting staples. Typically, the cutting device is included in the firing module. Thus, each time a stapler is reloaded with a new staple cartridge, a new scalpel and firing assembly is also inserted into the stapler. Typically, a number of staple cartridges were used during a single patient operation, whereby the scalpel and firing elements were repeatedly replaced for the same patient. Normally, the scalpel wears out after the staple cartridge is empty, so the scalpel and firing assembly could be reused with additional staple cartridges in the same patient. By reusing the firing assembly in a single patient operation, no further sterilization steps are required and the costs incurred during the operation can be reduced. In recent years, there has also been a desire to make the components of the surgical stapler reusable so that a portion can be disposable and a portion can be reused in subsequent surgery. By reusing the stapler parts, the costs associated with the surgery are reduced and the surgical waste is also reduced.

したがって、外科手術に付随する費用を低減するためには、分解し、かつステープラ部品をその後の使用のために再生することができる、外科用ステープラへの必要性が存在する。具体的には、発射及び切断構成要素が、ステープラと共に使用される材料の量を低減するために、患者の単一手術において複数のステープルカートリッジと共に再利用され得る、外科用ステープラへの必要性が存在する。いくつかのステープラ部品の再生及び再利用を可能にするように、容易に組立てられ、かつ分解することができる外科用ステープラへの必要性も存在する。また、より複雑な切断及びステープリング構成要素が外科手術間で容易に交換されるのを可能にするために、発射モジュールを組み込む、部分的に再利用可能なステープラへの必要性も存在する。更に、再利用可能な部品が、手術間で有効な部品再生を促進するような、簡素な単一部品設計を有する、部分的に再利用可能なステープラへの必要性が存在する。本発明は、これらの目的を達成する、部分的に再利用可能な外科用ステープラを提供する。   Thus, in order to reduce the costs associated with surgery, there is a need for a surgical stapler that can be disassembled and the stapler parts can be regenerated for subsequent use. Specifically, there is a need for a surgical stapler in which the firing and cutting components can be reused with multiple staple cartridges in a single patient operation to reduce the amount of material used with the stapler. Exists. There is also a need for a surgical stapler that can be easily assembled and disassembled to allow the regeneration and reuse of several stapler parts. There is also a need for a partially reusable stapler that incorporates a firing module to allow more complex cutting and stapling components to be easily exchanged between surgical procedures. Furthermore, there is a need for a partially reusable stapler that has a simple single part design such that the reusable part facilitates effective part regeneration between surgeries. The present invention provides a partially reusable surgical stapler that achieves these objectives.

本発明に従う、部分的に再利用可能な外科用ステープラを、ステープルを組織内に展開するために提供する。ステープラは、遠位端、近位端、及びそれらの間の長手方向軸を有する本体を有する。近位端は、ハンドルを備え、遠位端は、ステープルカートリッジホルダ及び対向するアンビルを備える。ステープラは、ステープルを展開するためのアクチュエータモジュールも有する。アクチュエータモジュールは、アンビルに向かってステープルを連続的に放出するための、少なくとも1つの長手方向に移動可能な部材を備える。アクチュエータモジュールは、本体に、かつそこから容易に除去可能かつ交換可能である。   A partially reusable surgical stapler according to the present invention is provided for deploying staples into tissue. The stapler has a body having a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis therebetween. The proximal end includes a handle and the distal end includes a staple cartridge holder and an opposing anvil. The stapler also has an actuator module for deploying the staples. The actuator module includes at least one longitudinally movable member for continuously releasing staples toward the anvil. The actuator module is easily removable and replaceable in and out of the body.

別の実施形態において、本発明は、近位ハンドル端及び遠位アンビル端を有する、上部ジョー部材を有する部分的に再利用可能な外科用ステープラを提供する。近位のチャネル形状枠及び遠位ステープルカートリッジチャネルを有する下部ジョー部材は、上部ジョーと整合される。アンビルに向かってステープルを連続的に放出するための、少なくとも1つの長手方向に移動可能な部材を有する、アクチュエータモジュールは、下部ジョー枠に、かつそこから容易に除去可能かつ交換可能である。複数のステープルを含むステープルカートリッジは、ステープルカートリッジチャネル内に除去可能に配設される。上部及び下部ジョーを共に接続するためのラッチング部材を、ステープラの長手方向軸に沿った中央位置で提供する。ラッチング部材は、一連の異なる係止状態においてステープラを定置するために、上部及び下部ジョー部材に対して移動可能である。異なる係止状態には、ラッチング部材をジョー部材に接続し、かつ断絶するための組立て状態、及びラッチング部材がジョー部材に係止される閉鎖ラッチ状態が挙げられる。   In another embodiment, the present invention provides a partially reusable surgical stapler having an upper jaw member having a proximal handle end and a distal anvil end. A lower jaw member having a proximal channel shape frame and a distal staple cartridge channel is aligned with the upper jaw. An actuator module having at least one longitudinally movable member for continuously releasing staples toward the anvil is easily removable and replaceable in and out of the lower jaw frame. A staple cartridge including a plurality of staples is removably disposed within the staple cartridge channel. A latching member for connecting the upper and lower jaws together is provided at a central location along the longitudinal axis of the stapler. The latching member is movable relative to the upper and lower jaw members to place the stapler in a series of different locking states. Different locking states include an assembled state for connecting and disconnecting the latching member to the jaw member and a closed latching state where the latching member is locked to the jaw member.

以下、図を通して同じ番号が同じ要素を示す、図面を参照すると、図1〜3は、本発明の第1の例示的外科用ステープラ20を図示する。ステープラ20の本体は、上部ジョー部材22、下部ジョー部材24、及びラッチング部材30を備える。図2〜3に示すように、ラッチング部材30は、上部及び下部ジョー部材22、24に対して枢動可能である。ラッチング部材30は、一連の異なるラッチング状態を介して枢動され、使用のために閉鎖されたステープラを係止するか、又はステープラ内の組織の調節、ステープルカートリッジの交換、又はステープラの分解を可能にする様々な程度に、ステープラを開放することができる。外科手術が完了すると、ラッチング部材30は、ステープラ20がステープラの部品の再滅菌及び再利用に備えて分解されるのを可能にするように、完全な開放位置まで枢動することができる。   Referring now to the drawings wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the Figures, FIGS. 1-3 illustrate a first exemplary surgical stapler 20 of the present invention. The main body of the stapler 20 includes an upper jaw member 22, a lower jaw member 24, and a latching member 30. As shown in FIGS. 2-3, the latching member 30 is pivotable relative to the upper and lower jaw members 22, 24. The latching member 30 is pivoted through a series of different latching states to lock the stapler closed for use, or to adjust the tissue in the stapler, replace the staple cartridge, or disassemble the stapler The stapler can be opened to various degrees. When the surgery is complete, the latching member 30 can pivot to a fully open position to allow the stapler 20 to be disassembled for re-sterilization and reuse of the stapler parts.

図4及び5に示すように、上部ジョー22は、上面壁36によって接続された一対の対向する側壁32a、32bを有する、単一部品の細長いチャネル形状枠を備える。上面壁36は、ハンドグリップを形成するように外側表面上に好適に成形され、かつ外科医によるステープラの取り扱い及び操作を促進するための上部ハンドル突出部40を備える。上部ジョー22の遠位端は、ステープラのアンビル44を画定する、一対の内側に延在するフランジ42を備える。フランジ42は、アンビル44の全長に沿って延在する、中央の長手方向スロット46によって分離される。各々のフランジ42の内部表面は、均一に離間されたステープル形成ポケット50の2つの長手方向列で提供される。ステープル形成ポケット50は、発射中に、U型ステープルがアンビルフランジに対して放出されるときに、B形状ステープルの成形を可能にする。アンビル44は、中空の管状体内器官内へのステープラの挿入を促進するために、最遠位端にテーパー先端を備える。一対の組織停止部52は、ステープル形成ポケット50の近位端に隣接するアンビル44の対向側面上に提供される。組織停止部52は、組織がアンビル44を超えてステープラ内に定置されるのを防止するために、ステープル形成ポケット50の近位端と横方向に整合される。アンビル44の近位端で組織を阻害することによって、ステープルされていない組織の切り詰め又は切断が防止される。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the upper jaw 22 comprises a single piece elongated channel-shaped frame having a pair of opposing side walls 32 a, 32 b connected by a top wall 36. The top wall 36 is suitably shaped on the outer surface to form a hand grip and includes an upper handle protrusion 40 to facilitate the handling and manipulation of the stapler by the surgeon. The distal end of the upper jaw 22 includes a pair of inwardly extending flanges 42 that define a stapler anvil 44. The flanges 42 are separated by a central longitudinal slot 46 that extends along the entire length of the anvil 44. The inner surface of each flange 42 is provided in two longitudinal rows of uniformly spaced staple forming pockets 50. Staple forming pocket 50 allows for the formation of B-shaped staples as the U-shaped staples are released against the anvil flange during firing. The anvil 44 includes a tapered tip at the most distal end to facilitate insertion of the stapler into the hollow tubular body organ. A pair of tissue stops 52 are provided on opposite sides of the anvil 44 adjacent the proximal end of the staple forming pocket 50. The tissue stop 52 is laterally aligned with the proximal end of the staple forming pocket 50 to prevent tissue from being placed in the stapler beyond the anvil 44. By inhibiting the tissue at the proximal end of the anvil 44, truncation or cutting of unstapleted tissue is prevented.

円筒ピン54は、組織停止部52の近位にある上部ジョー22の対向側面から延在する。ピン54は、上部及び下部ジョーを共に接続するために、下部ジョー24上の垂直スロットの内部に適合する。上部ジョー22は、チャネル側壁32a、32bの近位端付近に一対の湾曲したノッチ60も備える。図2に示すとおり、ノッチ60は、下部ジョー24上の突起部62と相互作用して、使用中にジョーを容易に整合するための手段を提供する。上部ジョー22は、好ましくは、例えば、ステンレス鋼等の生物適合性金属の単一部品からなる。材料の単一部品を上部ジョー22に使用することによって、ステープラの構造的完全性が増加される。あるいは、上部ジョー22は、例えば、溶接等の周知の接合方法による製造プロセス中に共に接合される、2つ以上の個別の部品として製造することができる。   A cylindrical pin 54 extends from the opposite side of the upper jaw 22 proximal to the tissue stop 52. The pin 54 fits inside a vertical slot on the lower jaw 24 to connect the upper and lower jaws together. The upper jaw 22 also includes a pair of curved notches 60 near the proximal ends of the channel sidewalls 32a, 32b. As shown in FIG. 2, the notch 60 interacts with the protrusion 62 on the lower jaw 24 to provide a means for easily aligning the jaw during use. The upper jaw 22 preferably consists of a single piece of biocompatible metal such as, for example, stainless steel. By using a single piece of material for the upper jaw 22, the structural integrity of the stapler is increased. Alternatively, the upper jaw 22 can be manufactured as two or more separate parts that are joined together during a manufacturing process, for example, by well-known joining methods such as welding.

図6に示すように、下部ジョー24は、底部壁66によって接続された一対の側壁64a、64bを有する単一部品の細長いU型枠を備える。下部ジョー24の遠位端において、側壁64a、64bは、ステープラ内に単一使用のステープルカートリッジを支持するためのカートリッジチャネル70を形成するために縮小される。ノッチ72は、カートリッジチャネル70の遠位端に隣接する側壁64a、64b内に提供される。ノッチ72は、ステープルカートリッジ上の側面の突起部と係合して、カートリッジをチャネル内に把持する。垂直整合スロット56は、側壁64a、64bの上部縁内のカートリッジチャネル70の近位に位置する。上述のとおり、上部ジョー22上のピン54は、整合スロット56と相互作用して、ジョー部材を共に整合し、かつ接続する。上部ジョー側壁32aと32bとの間の幅は、ピン54が整合スロット56内に挿入され、突出物62がノッチ60内に挿入されるときに、上部ジョーが下部ジョーに適合するのを可能にするように、下部ジョー側壁64aと64bとの間の幅よりもわずかに大きい。圧痕74は、整合スロット56の遠位の側壁64a、64bの外側表面内に形成される。以下に更に詳細に説明するとおり、圧痕74は、アクチュエータモジュールの下部ジョー部材24への取り付けを促進する。   As shown in FIG. 6, the lower jaw 24 comprises a single piece elongated U-shaped frame having a pair of side walls 64 a, 64 b connected by a bottom wall 66. At the distal end of the lower jaw 24, the sidewalls 64a, 64b are reduced to form a cartridge channel 70 for supporting a single use staple cartridge within the stapler. A notch 72 is provided in the sidewalls 64 a, 64 b adjacent to the distal end of the cartridge channel 70. The notch 72 engages a side protrusion on the staple cartridge to grip the cartridge into the channel. The vertical alignment slot 56 is located proximal to the cartridge channel 70 in the upper edge of the sidewalls 64a, 64b. As described above, the pins 54 on the upper jaw 22 interact with the alignment slot 56 to align and connect the jaw members together. The width between the upper jaw sidewalls 32a and 32b allows the upper jaw to fit the lower jaw when the pin 54 is inserted into the alignment slot 56 and the protrusion 62 is inserted into the notch 60. As such, it is slightly larger than the width between the lower jaw sidewalls 64a and 64b. Indentation 74 is formed in the outer surface of distal sidewalls 64a, 64b of alignment slot 56. As described in more detail below, the indentation 74 facilitates attachment of the actuator module to the lower jaw member 24.

開口部76は、下部ジョー24に沿った中間位置において底部壁66を介して形成される。側壁64a、64bは、開口部76の対向側面上で下方に延在して、遠位に勾配した突起部80を形成する。突起部80の遠位端に沿って、側壁64a、64bは、円形端88を有する直線面のスロット82を形成するように成形される。円形端88の直径は、スロット82の幅よりもわずかに大きい。突起部80の近位に、側壁64a、64bの外側表面は、ラッチング部材位置決め機能を備える。図6に示すとおり、位置決め機能は、側壁64a、64bの表面内に機械加工される、複数の戻り止め隆起部84、又は他の表面圧痕を備えることができる。図6は、下部ジョー24の前面側上の位置決め機能のみを示すが、以下に説明するように、下部ジョーの裏側が、ラッチング部材30が下部ジョーの両方の側面によって一連のラッチング状態のおいて保持され得るような同一方法で、成形されることを理解されたい。保持機能86は、側壁64a、64bと底部壁66との間の接合部における下部ジョー24の近位端で形成される。保持機能86は、ステープラ20の組立て中に、アクチュエータモジュールとのスナップ嵌め接続を促進する、側壁64a、64bの内側方向の拡張を含むことができる。   The opening 76 is formed through the bottom wall 66 at an intermediate position along the lower jaw 24. The side walls 64 a, 64 b extend downward on opposite sides of the opening 76 to form a distally sloped protrusion 80. Along the distal end of the protrusion 80, the sidewalls 64 a, 64 b are shaped to form a straight slot 82 having a circular end 88. The diameter of the circular end 88 is slightly larger than the width of the slot 82. Proximal to the protrusion 80, the outer surfaces of the sidewalls 64a, 64b provide a latching member positioning function. As shown in FIG. 6, the positioning feature can comprise a plurality of detent ridges 84 or other surface indentations that are machined into the surfaces of the sidewalls 64a, 64b. 6 shows only the positioning function on the front side of the lower jaw 24, but as will be explained below, the back side of the lower jaw has the latching member 30 in a series of latched states by both sides of the lower jaw. It should be understood that it is molded in the same way that it can be retained. A retention feature 86 is formed at the proximal end of the lower jaw 24 at the junction between the sidewalls 64a, 64b and the bottom wall 66. The retention feature 86 can include an inward extension of the sidewalls 64a, 64b that facilitates a snap-fit connection with the actuator module during assembly of the stapler 20.

ステープルカートリッジ90の遠位端は、中空の管状体内器官内への下部ジョー部材24の挿入を促進するための、テーパー先端を備える。テーパー先端の近位の、ステープルカートリッジ90は、一対の外側に延在する突出部102と共に提供される。一対の離間された平行フランジ104は、ステープルカートリッジ90の対向側面から後方に延在する。脚110は、ステープルカートリッジの近位端で、フランジ104から下方に延在する。各々の脚110は、円形の下方に対面するノッチ112と共に提供される。カートリッジ90が下部ジョー24上で組立てられるとき、突出部102は、下部ジョー側壁内のノッチ72に軽く受容され、脚110は、下部ジョー底部壁66内の開口部76を介して延在する。以下に説明するとおり、脚ノッチ112は、ラッチング部材30上のピンと係合して、カートリッジを下部ジョーチャネル70内に把持する。一対のウィング114は、カートリッジ90の近位端で、側壁92a、92bから上方及び下方に延在する。ウィング114は、ステープルカートリッジ90が下部ジョー24内に手動で挿入され、かつそこから除去されるのを可能にするフィンガーグリップとしての機能を果たす。ウィング114を使用することによって、カートリッジ90は、ジョー開口部76及びノッチ72から持ち上げられ、使用後、カートリッジを下部ジョー24から除去することができる。また、図3に示すとおり、ウィング114は、カートリッジチャネル70の近位端で、下部ジョー側壁64a、64bと係合して、カートリッジを下部ジョー24内の定位置に係止する。短い拡張部116は、カートリッジ90の背面に形成され、後方に突出する脚110の間に位置される。中央のメススロット94は、スロットの近位端においてその対向側面上の内側に勾配したガイド表面と共に提供することができる、拡張部116を介して長手方向に延在する。ロックアウトピン106は、一方の端部において拡張部116に接続され、かつ接続点に対し枢動可能である。初めに、ステープルカートリッジ90がステープラ20内に充填されるとき、ロックアウトピン106は、中央のメススロット94を横切って延在する。   The distal end of staple cartridge 90 includes a tapered tip to facilitate insertion of lower jaw member 24 into a hollow tubular body organ. A staple cartridge 90 proximal to the tapered tip is provided with a pair of outwardly extending protrusions 102. A pair of spaced parallel flanges 104 extend rearward from the opposite side of the staple cartridge 90. Leg 110 extends downward from flange 104 at the proximal end of the staple cartridge. Each leg 110 is provided with a circular downwardly facing notch 112. When the cartridge 90 is assembled on the lower jaw 24, the protrusion 102 is lightly received in the notch 72 in the lower jaw sidewall and the leg 110 extends through the opening 76 in the lower jaw bottom wall 66. As described below, the leg notch 112 engages a pin on the latching member 30 to grip the cartridge in the lower jaw channel 70. A pair of wings 114 extend upward and downward from the side walls 92a, 92b at the proximal end of the cartridge 90. Wing 114 serves as a finger grip that allows staple cartridge 90 to be manually inserted into and removed from lower jaw 24. By using the wing 114, the cartridge 90 is lifted from the jaw opening 76 and the notch 72, and the cartridge can be removed from the lower jaw 24 after use. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the wing 114 engages the lower jaw side walls 64 a, 64 b at the proximal end of the cartridge channel 70 to lock the cartridge in place within the lower jaw 24. The short extension 116 is formed on the back surface of the cartridge 90 and is positioned between the legs 110 protruding rearward. A central female slot 94 extends longitudinally through an extension 116 that can be provided with an inwardly sloped guide surface on its opposite side at the proximal end of the slot. The lockout pin 106 is connected to the extension 116 at one end and is pivotable relative to the connection point. Initially, the lockout pin 106 extends across the central female slot 94 when the staple cartridge 90 is loaded into the stapler 20.

上述のとおり、ステープラ20は、ステープラの長手方向の長さに沿った中間位置で、上部及び下部ジョー部材を共に接続するための、ラッチング部材30を備える。好ましくは、ジョー部材22、24は、アンビル44の近位端及びステープルカートリッジ90に隣接する位置で共に接続される。図9に示す好ましい実施形態において、ラッチング部材30は、上面壁130によって接続された対向する側壁124a、124bを有する、単一部品のチャネル形状枠を備える。ラッチング部材30は、ラッチング部材を下部ジョー24に枢動可能に接続するための、ラッチピン122を更に備える。好ましくは、ラッチング部材は、ステンレス網、又は他の同様の生態適合性金属の単一部品からなる。対向するラッチング部材の側壁124aと124bとの間の距離は、下部ジョー24の側壁64a、64bにかかるのに十分である。側壁124a、124bは、ラッチングアーム120がラッチング位置間で手動で枢動することを可能にするように、フィンガーグリップとしての役割を果たす、外側に延在する、細長いフランジ132を備える。ラッチングアーム120の外側表面は、ハンドル拡張部134を備える。下部ジョー部材24に接続されたとき、ハンドル拡張部134は、外科医のステープラ操作のためのハンドルグリップを形成するように、上部ジョーハンドル拡張部40と組み合わされる。   As described above, the stapler 20 includes the latching member 30 for connecting the upper and lower jaw members together at an intermediate position along the length of the stapler in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the jaw members 22, 24 are connected together at a location adjacent to the proximal end of the anvil 44 and the staple cartridge 90. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the latching member 30 comprises a single piece channel-shaped frame having opposing side walls 124 a, 124 b connected by a top wall 130. The latching member 30 further comprises a latch pin 122 for pivotally connecting the latching member to the lower jaw 24. Preferably, the latching member comprises a single piece of stainless steel mesh or other similar biocompatible metal. The distance between the opposing latching member sidewalls 124a and 124b is sufficient to span the sidewalls 64a, 64b of the lower jaw 24. The side walls 124a, 124b include an elongated flange 132 that extends outward to serve as a finger grip to allow the latching arm 120 to be manually pivoted between the latching positions. The outer surface of the latching arm 120 includes a handle extension 134. When connected to the lower jaw member 24, the handle extension 134 is combined with the upper jaw handle extension 40 to form a handle grip for surgeon stapler operation.

ラッチング部材30の各々の側壁124a、124bは、上部ジョーピン54を係合するために、前方に対面するノッチ142と共に提供される、遠位に延在するC型フック部材140を備える。図9及び10に示すとおり、フック部材140は、フック部材の先端からノッチ142内に後方に延在する内部カム表面144を備える。ラッチング部材30が閉鎖動作状態に移動するとき、ノッチ142は、上部ジョーピン54と係合し、ラッチ状態においてラッチング部材を維持するようにオーバーセンターラッチとしての機能を果たす。ノッチ142の下で、各々のフック部材140は、ラッチング部材の上面壁130の端部を越えて遠位に下方に突出する。図11に示すように、ラッチピン122は、ラッチング部材30の端部にわたり、フック部材140の下方に曲がった端部との間に延在する。ラッチピン122は、各々の端部に隣接する平坦な表面152を有する円筒形状を有する。ラッチピン122の直径は、下部ジョースロット82のための狭い開口部よりも大きい。ラッチング部材30は、ラッチピン122を下部ジョースロット82内に挿入することによって、下部ジョー24に脱着可能に接続される。ラッチピン122は、平坦な端部152がスロットの直線面と平行になるように、ラッチング部材30を配向することによって、スロット82内に挿入される。この位置において、ラッチピン122は、スロットの幅よりも大きいピンの直径に関わらず、スロット82内に挿入することができる。平坦な端部152がスロット82の線形面と整合されると、ラッチピン122は、図13に示すとおり、ピンが円形スロット端88内に休止するまで、図12に示すとおり、スロット内に挿入される。   Each side wall 124 a, 124 b of the latching member 30 includes a distally extending C-shaped hook member 140 provided with a forward facing notch 142 for engaging the upper jaw pin 54. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the hook member 140 includes an internal cam surface 144 that extends rearwardly into the notch 142 from the tip of the hook member. When the latching member 30 moves to the closed operation state, the notch 142 engages the upper jaw pin 54 and serves as an over-center latch to maintain the latching member in the latched state. Under the notch 142, each hook member 140 projects distally downward beyond the end of the top wall 130 of the latching member. As shown in FIG. 11, the latch pin 122 extends between the end of the latching member 30 and the end of the hook member 140 that is bent downward. The latch pin 122 has a cylindrical shape with a flat surface 152 adjacent to each end. The diameter of the latch pin 122 is larger than the narrow opening for the lower jaw slot 82. The latching member 30 is detachably connected to the lower jaw 24 by inserting the latch pin 122 into the lower jaw slot 82. The latch pin 122 is inserted into the slot 82 by orienting the latching member 30 so that the flat end 152 is parallel to the straight surface of the slot. In this position, the latch pin 122 can be inserted into the slot 82 regardless of the pin diameter that is larger than the width of the slot. When the flat end 152 is aligned with the linear surface of the slot 82, the latch pin 122 is inserted into the slot as shown in FIG. 12 until the pin rests in the circular slot end 88 as shown in FIG. The

ステープラ20は、一連の異なるラッチング状態においてラッチング部材を保持するための手段も含む。図9及び10を参照すると、保持手段は、各々のラッチングアームの側壁124a、124bの上面縁から延在するバネアーム150を含む。バネアーム150は、フック部材140の上部輪郭を追従して、遠位に上方に湾曲し、かつ球状自由端を備える。図13に示すように、ラッチングピン122がスロット82内に組立てられ、ラッチング部材30が遠位に勾配されると、ステープラ20は、初期の開放状態にある。ステープラ20を閉鎖するためには、ラッチング部材30は、ステープラの近位端に向かって回転され、ラッチング部材を下部ジョー部材24の本体に接近して引き出す。平坦な端部152がスロット82の側面との整合から外れて回転すると、ピン122とスロット82との間の幅の差異は、ピンがスロット端部88から滑脱するのを防止する。したがって、ピン122は、スロット端部88内に固定され、ラッチング部材30を下部ジョー部材24に係止する。   The stapler 20 also includes means for holding the latching member in a series of different latching states. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the retaining means includes a spring arm 150 extending from the top edge of each latching arm sidewall 124a, 124b. The spring arm 150 follows the upper contour of the hook member 140, curves upwardly distally, and includes a spherical free end. As shown in FIG. 13, when the latching pin 122 is assembled in the slot 82 and the latching member 30 is tilted distally, the stapler 20 is in the initial open state. To close the stapler 20, the latching member 30 is rotated toward the proximal end of the stapler to pull the latching member closer to the body of the lower jaw member 24. As the flat end 152 rotates out of alignment with the side of the slot 82, the difference in width between the pin 122 and the slot 82 prevents the pin from sliding out of the slot end 88. Thus, the pin 122 is secured within the slot end 88 and locks the latching member 30 to the lower jaw member 24.

ラッチング部材30が回転すると、フック部材140は、下部ジョー部材24の側面に沿って引き出される。フック部材140が下部ジョーの側壁64a、64bに沿って揺動すると、バネアーム150の球状端は、側壁上の戻り止め隆起部84に接触する。戻り止め隆起部84との間にバネアーム150を移動するためには、バネアームの端部が隆起部上を移動することができるように、ラッチング部材30に付加的な力が印加し、フック部材140に向かうバネアームの屈曲をもたらす。図14に示すとおり、バネアーム150が戻り止め隆起部84の間に位置付けられると、ラッチング部材30は、部分的係止状態である。部分的係止状態において、ラッチング部材30は、下部ジョー24に取り付けられ、整合スロット56は、フック部材140の先端のすぐ遠位にある。上部ジョーピン54は、下部ジョースロット56に自由に挿入するか、又はそこから除去することができ、上部及び下部ジョー部材が分離され、かつ共に再接合されるのを可能にする。   When the latching member 30 rotates, the hook member 140 is pulled out along the side surface of the lower jaw member 24. As the hook member 140 swings along the lower jaw sidewalls 64a, 64b, the spherical end of the spring arm 150 contacts the detent ridge 84 on the sidewall. In order to move the spring arm 150 to and from the detent ridge 84, additional force is applied to the latching member 30 so that the end of the spring arm can move over the ridge, and the hook member 140. Bend the spring arm toward As shown in FIG. 14, when the spring arm 150 is positioned between the detent ridges 84, the latching member 30 is in a partially locked state. In the partially locked state, the latching member 30 is attached to the lower jaw 24 and the alignment slot 56 is just distal to the tip of the hook member 140. The upper jaw pin 54 can be freely inserted into or removed from the lower jaw slot 56, allowing the upper and lower jaw members to be separated and rejoined together.

ラッチング部材30を下部ジョー部材24に接近して引き出しながら、ラッチピン122がスロット端88内で回転し続けると、フック部材の内部カム表面144は、整合スロット56の開口部の上を回転し、スロットを阻害し、スロット内の上部ジョーピン54を係止する。バネアーム150は、戻り止め隆起部84に沿って移動し、上部隆起部の凹部の外側縁と係合する。図15に示す、この閉鎖前状態において、ラッチング部材30並びに上部及び下部ジョー部材22、24は、ステープラ20の本体を形成するために共に接続されるが、上部ジョーピン54は、スロットの底部と、カム表面144との間のスロット56内に摺動して、ジョー部材間のいくつかの相対的動作を可能にすることができる。ラッチング部材30は、テープルカートリッジとアンビルとの間の相対的動作を可能にするように、軽くラッチされた位置にジョー部材を保持する。ジョー部材22、24の遠位端における相対的動作は、ジョー部材を互いから断絶することなく組織整合を可能にする。   As the latch pin 122 continues to rotate within the slot end 88 while pulling the latching member 30 closer to the lower jaw member 24, the hook member internal cam surface 144 rotates over the opening in the alignment slot 56 and the slot And the upper jaw pin 54 in the slot is locked. The spring arm 150 moves along the detent ridge 84 and engages the outer edge of the recess in the upper ridge. In this pre-closed state shown in FIG. 15, the latching member 30 and the upper and lower jaw members 22, 24 are connected together to form the body of the stapler 20, while the upper jaw pin 54 is connected to the bottom of the slot, It can slide into the slot 56 between the cam surface 144 to allow some relative movement between the jaw members. The latching member 30 holds the jaw members in a lightly latched position to allow relative movement between the table cartridge and the anvil. The relative motion at the distal ends of the jaw members 22, 24 allows tissue alignment without disconnecting the jaw members from each other.

ラッチング部材30が閉鎖動作状態(図1に図示)まで回転するとき、ラッチング部材は、下部ジョー部材24を囲繞し、上部ジョー部材22上のピン54は、フック部材のノッチ142内に格納される。バネアーム150は、戻り止め隆起部84を超えて、下部ジョー部材24の側面に沿って遠位に上方に前進する。この状態において、上部及び下部ジョー部材は、共に係止され、アンビルとカートリッジ表面との間の組織を圧縮し、ステープラは、組織のステープリング及び切断の準備が整っている。この閉鎖状態において、最低限の離間は、スペーサピン160によってアンビルとカートリッジ表面との間で維持され得る。アンビルとカートリッジ表面との間の組織の定置を調節するためには、ラッチング部材30は、図16に示すとおり、回転して閉鎖前状態に戻り、ピン54をフック部材のノッチ142から除外することができる。ラッチング部材30が回転して戻ると、バネアーム150は、戻り止め隆起部84と再係合してラッチング部材を定位置に把持する。閉鎖前状態に戻ることによって、フック部材140とピン52との間の接続が緩み、上部及び下部ジョーを断絶することなく、ピンがスロット56内に摺動することを可能にする。   When the latching member 30 rotates to the closed operating state (shown in FIG. 1), the latching member surrounds the lower jaw member 24 and the pin 54 on the upper jaw member 22 is stored in the notch 142 of the hook member. . The spring arm 150 advances upwardly distally along the side of the lower jaw member 24 beyond the detent ridge 84. In this state, the upper and lower jaw members are locked together to compress the tissue between the anvil and the cartridge surface and the stapler is ready for tissue stapling and cutting. In this closed state, a minimum separation can be maintained between the anvil and the cartridge surface by the spacer pin 160. In order to adjust the tissue placement between the anvil and the cartridge surface, the latching member 30 rotates back to the pre-closed state, as shown in FIG. 16, and the pin 54 is removed from the notch 142 of the hook member. Can do. As the latching member 30 rotates back, the spring arm 150 re-engages with the detent ridge 84 to grip the latching member in place. Returning to the pre-closed state loosens the connection between the hook member 140 and the pin 52 and allows the pin to slide into the slot 56 without breaking the upper and lower jaws.

ステープラ20を断絶するためには、ラッチング部材30は、下部ジョー部材24から離れて回転し、上部ジョーピン54をフックのノッチ142から外に引き出す。ラッチング部材30は、湾曲したラッチングアーム先端162を引張することによって、上部及び下部ジョー部材22、24から離れて回転し得る。反回転力がラッチングアーム120上で継続すると、バネアーム150は、戻り止め隆起部84を通って移動し、フック部材140が下部ジョー側壁64a、64bを通り、かつそこから離れて揺動するのを可能にする。ラッチング部材30は、ラッチング部材30が、図13に示す初期開放位置に戻るまで、およそステープルカートリッジ90の方向に回転する。ラッチング部材30が開放状態にあると、ラッチピン122上の平坦な端部152は、スロット82の直線面と平行して再度整合され、ラッチピンがスロット82を介して回収され、ラッチング部材を下部ジョー部材24から分離するのを可能にする。ラッチング部材30が脱着されると、ステープラ20は、3つの個別の単一部品の構成要素、即ち、上部ジョー22、下部ジョー24、及びラッチング部材30に分解することができる。これらの再利用可能な構成要素の単一部品のチャネル形状構造は、使用間に容易であり、かつ徹底的な構成要素の再生及び滅菌を提供する。   To break the stapler 20, the latching member 30 rotates away from the lower jaw member 24 and pulls the upper jaw pin 54 out of the hook notch 142. The latching member 30 may be rotated away from the upper and lower jaw members 22, 24 by pulling the curved latching arm tip 162. As the counter-rotating force continues on the latching arm 120, the spring arm 150 moves through the detent ridge 84, causing the hook member 140 to swing through and away from the lower jaw sidewalls 64a, 64b. enable. The latching member 30 rotates approximately in the direction of the staple cartridge 90 until the latching member 30 returns to the initial open position shown in FIG. When the latching member 30 is in the open state, the flat end 152 on the latch pin 122 is realigned parallel to the straight surface of the slot 82 and the latch pin is withdrawn through the slot 82, and the latching member is moved to the lower jaw member. Allows separation from 24. Once the latching member 30 is removed, the stapler 20 can be broken down into three separate single piece components: an upper jaw 22, a lower jaw 24, and a latching member 30. These reusable component single piece channel-shaped structures are easy to use and provide thorough component regeneration and sterilization.

以下、上部ジョー部材22と下部ジョー部材24との間に締付けされた組織をステープルし、かつ切断するためのアクチュエータモジュール170を示す、図17及び18を検討する。アクチュエータモジュール170は、アクチュエータモジュール構成要素に支持構造を提供する、U型長手方向モジュールパン172を備える。モジュールパン172は、底部壁176によって共に接続された一対の側壁174を備える(図19)。モジュールパンの側壁174の間の距離は、モジュールパンが下部ジョー24の近位チャネル内に摺動可能に実装されるのを可能にするように、下部ジョー側壁64aと64bとの間の距離未満である。図19及び20に示すとおり、モジュールパン170の近位端は、側壁174の外側表面から突出する、1つ以上の戻り止め隆起部178を備える。戻り止め隆起部178は、アクチュエータモジュール170が下部ジョーチャネル内に近位に摺動するとき、下部ジョー部材24の内部チャネル上の保持機能86に係合する。戻り止め隆起部178の保持機能86との相互作用は、アクチュエータモジュールを下部ジョー部材24内の定位置にスナップ嵌めし、かつ保持する。   In the following, consider FIGS. 17 and 18 showing an actuator module 170 for stapling and cutting tissue clamped between an upper jaw member 22 and a lower jaw member 24. The actuator module 170 includes a U-shaped longitudinal module pan 172 that provides support structure for the actuator module components. The module pan 172 includes a pair of side walls 174 connected together by a bottom wall 176 (FIG. 19). The distance between the module pan side walls 174 is less than the distance between the lower jaw side walls 64a and 64b to allow the module pan to be slidably mounted within the proximal channel of the lower jaw 24. It is. As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the proximal end of the module pan 170 includes one or more detent ridges 178 that protrude from the outer surface of the sidewall 174. The detent ridge 178 engages a retention feature 86 on the inner channel of the lower jaw member 24 as the actuator module 170 slides proximally into the lower jaw channel. Interaction of the detent ridge 178 with the retention feature 86 snaps and holds the actuator module in place within the lower jaw member 24.

図21に示すとおり、複数の移動可能なアクチュエータ部材は、上部及び下部ジョー部材22、24に対するパン内の長手方向動作のために、モジュールパン172内に位置する。アクチュエータ部材は、パン内の相互の長手方向動作のためにモジュールパン172内に配設される押出ブロック180を備える。押出ブロック180は、横方向フランジ184によってアクチュエータノブ182に取り付けられる。図3に示すとおり、アクチュエータモジュール170が下部ジョー24内に実装されるとき、フランジ184は、下部ジョーの側壁64内に形成された細長いガイドスロット186を介して延在する。フランジ184は、ノブの手動のアクセスを可能にするように、ジョー部材22、24の外側上にノブ182を位置付ける。図3において、ノブ182は、下部ジョーの側壁64b内のガイドスロット186を通って延在する状態で示す。しかしながら、ガイドスロットは、対向下部ジョー側壁64a内に形成することもでき、その場合では、アクチュエータノブ182は、ステープラ20の対向側面から外に延在するであろう。フランジ184は、ノブ182がジョー部材22、24の外側に沿って手動で移動されると、ガイドスロット186を介して延在し、かつそれに沿って移動する。   As shown in FIG. 21, a plurality of movable actuator members are located within the module pan 172 for longitudinal movement within the pan relative to the upper and lower jaw members 22, 24. The actuator member comprises an extrusion block 180 disposed within the module pan 172 for mutual longitudinal movement within the pan. Extrusion block 180 is attached to actuator knob 182 by lateral flange 184. As shown in FIG. 3, when the actuator module 170 is mounted in the lower jaw 24, the flange 184 extends through an elongated guide slot 186 formed in the sidewall 64 of the lower jaw. A flange 184 positions the knob 182 on the outside of the jaw members 22, 24 to allow manual access of the knob. In FIG. 3, the knob 182 is shown extending through a guide slot 186 in the lower jaw sidewall 64b. However, the guide slot can also be formed in the opposed lower jaw sidewall 64a, in which case the actuator knob 182 will extend out from the opposed side of the stapler 20. The flange 184 extends through and moves along the guide slot 186 as the knob 182 is manually moved along the outside of the jaw members 22, 24.

これから図21に戻り、アクチュエータモジュール170は、一対の長手方向に延在する、平行押出棒190も備える。押出棒190の近位端は、横方向に離間された押出棒スロット192内に固定され(図22に図示)、押出棒がモジュールパン172を介して、押出ブロック180と共に長手方向に移動するのを可能にする。押出棒190は、押出ブロック180から遠位に延在し、かつ図23に示す、ガイドブロック200内に形成された長手方向スロット194内で摺動可能に受容される。図18に示すとおり、ガイドブロック200は、モジュールパン172の遠位端で実装される。モジュールパンの側壁174の上部縁は、モジュールパン内のガイドブロックを保持するように、ガイドブロック200の側面縁の上で内側に曲げられる。また、タブ202は、パン内のガイドブロックを固定するために、モジュールパンの側壁174内の開口部204を介してガイドブロック200の側面から延在する。ガイドブロック200の遠位端は、モジュールパン172の端部を超え、かつステープルカートリッジ90の後方フランジ104の間に延在する。ガイドブロック200内の横方向スロット194は、押出棒190を、ステープルカートリッジ90の細長いステープルドライバスロット100と整合する。押出棒190の遠位端は、ガイドスロット194の前方に延在し、かつ図24に示す、くさび形状の先端206と共に提供され、それは、押出棒がカートリッジを介して遠位に移動すると、カートリッジ90内でステープルドライバを係合するための傾斜したカム表面を画定する。押出棒の先端206の長手方向動作は、カミング作用を介して、連続的にステープルドライバを駆動し、カートリッジからステープルを発射させる。   Returning now to FIG. 21, the actuator module 170 also includes a pair of longitudinally extending bars 190 extending in the longitudinal direction. The proximal end of the pusher bar 190 is secured in a laterally spaced pusher bar slot 192 (shown in FIG. 22) so that the pusher bar moves longitudinally with the pusher block 180 via the module pan 172. Enable. Extrusion bar 190 extends distally from extrusion block 180 and is slidably received within a longitudinal slot 194 formed in guide block 200 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 18, the guide block 200 is mounted at the distal end of the module pan 172. The upper edge of the module pan side wall 174 is bent inwardly over the side edges of the guide block 200 to hold the guide block in the module pan. The tab 202 also extends from the side of the guide block 200 through the opening 204 in the side wall 174 of the module pan to secure the guide block in the pan. The distal end of the guide block 200 extends beyond the end of the module pan 172 and extends between the rear flanges 104 of the staple cartridge 90. A transverse slot 194 in the guide block 200 aligns the pusher bar 190 with the elongated staple driver slot 100 of the staple cartridge 90. The distal end of the push bar 190 extends forward of the guide slot 194 and is provided with a wedge shaped tip 206, shown in FIG. 24, which moves the cartridge as the push bar moves distally through the cartridge. A sloped cam surface for engaging the staple driver within 90 is defined. The longitudinal movement of the push bar tip 206 continuously drives the staple driver via the camming action to fire staples from the cartridge.

図23に戻り、ガイドブロック200は、下部ジョーの底部壁66内の開口部76を介して下方に延在する、従属中央部分210を備える。中央部分210は、円形端218を有する、遠位に勾配した、直線面のスロット212を備える。ステープラ20が組立てられるとき、ガイドブロックスロット212は、ラッチング部材30がステープラに接続されるとき、ラッチピン122が下部ジョー24及びガイドブロック200の両方に係合されるのを可能にするように、下部ジョーの側壁64a、64b内のスロット82と長手方向に整合される。ラッチピン122がスロット82を介してスロット端88に挿入されると、ピンもまた、ガイドブロックスロット212を通過し、円形端218内に格納され、アクチュエータモジュール170及び下部ジョー24を共に係止する。   Returning to FIG. 23, the guide block 200 includes a dependent central portion 210 that extends downwardly through an opening 76 in the bottom wall 66 of the lower jaw. The central portion 210 comprises a distally inclined, straight-surfaced slot 212 having a circular end 218. When the stapler 20 is assembled, the guide block slot 212 has a lower portion to allow the latch pin 122 to engage both the lower jaw 24 and the guide block 200 when the latching member 30 is connected to the stapler. Aligned longitudinally with slots 82 in jaw sidewalls 64a, 64b. When the latch pin 122 is inserted into the slot end 88 through the slot 82, the pin also passes through the guide block slot 212 and is stored in the circular end 218, locking the actuator module 170 and the lower jaw 24 together.

図18及び21に示すとおり、アクチュエータモジュール170は、押出棒190との間に位置付けられたメス支持棒214を更に備える。メス支持棒214及び押出棒190は、好ましくは、金属板構成要素として製造される。メス支持棒214の近位端は、ノブ182を発射することによる動作のために、メス支持棒を押出ブロックに接続するために、押出ブロック180の中央スロット216(図22)内に固定される。押出ブロック180の遠位の、メス支持棒214は、メス支持棒をステープルカートリッジの細長い中央スロット94と整合するように、ガイドブロック200内に形成された中央スロット220(図23に図示)内に摺動可能に受容される。図25に示すとおり、面取りされた刃先を有する傾斜したメスブレード222は、メス支持棒214の前面端に位置付けられる。メスブレード222の面取りされた刃先は、ジョー部材22、24に対する角度に配向され、かつガイドブロック200の中央の長手方向スロット220内で摺動可能に受容される。メスブレード222の近位端の、メス支持棒214は、カートリッジ係止ノッチ228と、係止カットアウト部分224とを備え、それらは、以下に説明する安全なロックアウト機構の一部である。メス支持棒214の近位端は、参照番号226で示す、オフセット部分を備える。メスオフセット226は、近位端付近のメス支持棒214の一部分を切除して、支持棒上に2つの隆起した点230、232を生成することによって形成される。   As shown in FIGS. 18 and 21, the actuator module 170 further includes a female support bar 214 positioned between the pusher bar 190. The knife support bar 214 and push bar 190 are preferably manufactured as metal plate components. The proximal end of the knife support bar 214 is secured within the central slot 216 (FIG. 22) of the push block 180 to connect the knife support bar to the push block for operation by firing the knob 182. . A knife support bar 214 distal of the push block 180 is within a central slot 220 (shown in FIG. 23) formed in the guide block 200 to align the knife support bar with the elongated central slot 94 of the staple cartridge. It is slidably received. As shown in FIG. 25, the inclined knife blade 222 having a chamfered cutting edge is positioned at the front end of the knife support bar 214. The chamfered cutting edge of the knife blade 222 is oriented at an angle relative to the jaw members 22, 24 and is slidably received within the central longitudinal slot 220 of the guide block 200. The knife support bar 214 at the proximal end of the knife blade 222 includes a cartridge locking notch 228 and a locking cutout portion 224, which are part of a secure lockout mechanism described below. The proximal end of the female support bar 214 includes an offset portion indicated by reference numeral 226. The knife offset 226 is formed by cutting away a portion of the knife support bar 214 near the proximal end to produce two raised points 230, 232 on the support bar.

図26及び27に示すとおり、保護キャップ234は、ガイドブロック200の遠位端を被覆する。キャップ234の中央部分236は、メスブレード222及び押出棒190のくさび状先端206を囲繞する。内側に配向されたリップ240は、キャップの底部縁に沿って延在する。組立て中、下方の圧力は、下部ジョーチャネル内の定位置にアクチュエータモジュールの遠位端をスナップ嵌めするように、保護キャップ234に印加される。キャップ234が下方に押圧されると、キャップリップ240は、下部ジョー24の外側表面上の圧痕74内にスナップ嵌めされる。   As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the protective cap 234 covers the distal end of the guide block 200. The central portion 236 of the cap 234 surrounds the knife blade 222 and the wedge-shaped tip 206 of the push rod 190. An inwardly oriented lip 240 extends along the bottom edge of the cap. During assembly, downward pressure is applied to the protective cap 234 to snap the distal end of the actuator module into place in the lower jaw channel. As the cap 234 is pressed down, the cap lip 240 snaps into an indentation 74 on the outer surface of the lower jaw 24.

図19に示すリーフバネ250は、ガイドブロック200の真下のモジュールパンの底部壁176内に統合される。バネ250は、使用されたカートリッジの再発射を防止するために、発射後、メス支持棒のカットアウト224をガイドブロック200に対して持ち上げることによって、安全なロックアウト機能を提供する。第2のバネ252は、パンの近位端付近のモジュールパンの底部壁176内に統合される。この第2のバネ252は、運搬中のアクチュエータノブ182の前方動作を防止し、かつアクチュエータノブが、発射後、モジュールパン内の最近位位置に戻るときに、聴覚的かつ触覚的フィードバックを提供するように、押出ブロック180上のノッチと相互作用する、戻り止めバネである。図28及び29は、戻り止めバネ252の操作をより詳細に図示する。図28において、バネ252は、押出ブロックの不測の遠位動作を防止するために、押出ブロック180上のノッチ254と係合された状態で示す。図29は、アクチュエータノブ182上への意図的な遠位に配向された力の印加によって、ノッチ254から係脱された戻り止めバネ252を示す。押出棒190及びメス支持棒214は、アクチュエータノブ182に十分な力を印加して、バネ252のノッチ254に対する力を克服することによって遠位に前進する。バネ252がノッチ254から係脱された後、押出棒ブロック180は、モジュールパン172を介して第1の前進押出棒190まで遠位に摺動することができ、次いで、メス支持棒214をガイドブロック200からステープルカートリッジ90内に前進させる。   The leaf spring 250 shown in FIG. 19 is integrated into the bottom wall 176 of the module pan directly under the guide block 200. The spring 250 provides a safe lockout function by lifting the knife support bar cutout 224 relative to the guide block 200 after firing to prevent re-firing of the used cartridge. The second spring 252 is integrated into the bottom wall 176 of the module pan near the proximal end of the pan. This second spring 252 prevents forward movement of the actuator knob 182 during transport and provides audible and tactile feedback when the actuator knob returns to its closest position in the module pan after firing. As such, it is a detent spring that interacts with a notch on the extrusion block 180. 28 and 29 illustrate the operation of the detent spring 252 in more detail. In FIG. 28, the spring 252 is shown engaged with a notch 254 on the push block 180 to prevent accidental distal movement of the push block. FIG. 29 shows the detent spring 252 disengaged from the notch 254 by the application of an intentionally distally oriented force on the actuator knob 182. Pusher bar 190 and female support bar 214 advance distally by applying sufficient force to actuator knob 182 to overcome the force on notch 254 of spring 252. After the spring 252 is disengaged from the notch 254, the pusher bar block 180 can slide distally through the module pan 172 to the first advance pusher bar 190, which then guides the female support bar 214. Advance from the block 200 into the staple cartridge 90.

図28に示す、初期発射位置において、押出ブロック180の下方に配向された縁は、オフセット部分226の近位端点232でメス支持棒214と接触している。アクチュエータノブ182は、ガイドスロット186内の完全な近位位置まで後退し、それによって、押出棒190及びメスブレード222を、ガイドブロック200のスロット194及び220内に定置する。遠位の押圧力がアクチュエータノブ182に印加されるとき、バネ252は、ノッチ254から係脱し、押出ブロック180がモジュールパン172内で長手方向に前進することを可能にする。押出ブロック180が移動すると、ブロックは、押出棒190を遠位に前進させ、棒の傾斜した先端のカートリッジドライバスロット100内への前進がもたらされる。押出ブロック180の初期動作中に、ブロックの遠位縁は、図29に示すとおり、メス支持棒のオフセット226を介して移動し、それによってそれ自体では支持棒と接触しない。したがって、メス支持棒214は、押出棒190及びブロック180の初期遠位動作中に、不動のままである。   In the initial firing position shown in FIG. 28, the downwardly oriented edge of the push block 180 is in contact with the knife support bar 214 at the proximal end point 232 of the offset portion 226. Actuator knob 182 retracts to a fully proximal position within guide slot 186, thereby placing pusher bar 190 and scalpel blade 222 within slots 194 and 220 of guide block 200. When a distal pressing force is applied to the actuator knob 182, the spring 252 disengages from the notch 254, allowing the push block 180 to advance longitudinally within the module pan 172. As the push block 180 moves, the block advances the push rod 190 distally, leading to advancement of the slanted tip of the rod into the cartridge driver slot 100. During the initial operation of the push block 180, the distal edge of the block moves through the knife support bar offset 226, as shown in FIG. 29, thereby not contacting the support bar by itself. Accordingly, the knife support bar 214 remains stationary during the initial distal movement of the pusher bar 190 and block 180.

押出ブロック180がメスオフセット部分226を介して前進すると、ブロックの遠位縁は、メス支持棒214の遠位端点230と接触する。この押出ブロック180とメス支持棒214との接触は、ノブ182が前進すると、押出ブロック及び押出棒190に沿って、メス支持棒が遠位に前進し始める。メス支持棒214が遠位に移動すると、メスブレード222は、中央スロット220によって誘導され、後方カートリッジ拡張部116は、ステープルカートリッジ90の中央長手方向スロット94及びアンビル44の中央長手方向スロット46内に誘導される。メスブレード222がカートリッジ拡張部116を介して前進すると、ブレードは、ロックアウトピン106を前進支持棒の通路から外に偏向する。メスブレード222及び押出棒先端206は、開口部96及び切断組織を介してステープルを駆動するステープルカートリッジ90を介して同時に前進する。メスブレード222は、メスブレードがステープル列との間の組織を前進させ、かつ切断する前に、ステープルがアンビルとカートリッジとの間に掴まれている組織内に形成されるように、押出棒190のわずか後ろのステープルカートリッジ90内に前進する。   As the push block 180 advances through the knife offset portion 226, the distal edge of the block contacts the distal end point 230 of the knife support bar 214. The contact between the push block 180 and the knife support bar 214 begins to advance the knife support bar distally along the push block and push bar 190 as the knob 182 advances. As the knife support bar 214 moves distally, the knife blade 222 is guided by the central slot 220 and the posterior cartridge extension 116 is within the central longitudinal slot 94 of the staple cartridge 90 and the central longitudinal slot 46 of the anvil 44. Be guided. As the knife blade 222 advances through the cartridge extension 116, the blade deflects the lockout pin 106 out of the path of the advance support bar. The scalpel blade 222 and push rod tip 206 advance simultaneously through the staple cartridge 90 which drives the staples through the opening 96 and the cut tissue. The scalpel blade 222 pushes the push bar 190 so that staples are formed in the tissue being grasped between the anvil and cartridge before the scalpel blade advances and cuts the tissue between the staple rows. Advance slightly into the staple cartridge 90.

メス及び押出棒が、ノブ182によって完全に前進(又は、所望の前方位置まで前進)した後、押出ブロック180は、アクチュエータノブをジョーガイドスロット186を介して近位に引き戻すことによって、モジュールパン172内に後退する。最初に、押出ブロック180が近位に引き出されると、押出棒190は、近位に引き出される一方、メス支持棒214は、支持棒内のオフセット部分226により、遠位の不動位置に留まる。遠位の押出ブロック縁が後退して近位のメス棒オフセット点232と接触すると、メス支持棒214は、押出ブロック及び棒と共に近位に後退し始める。メス支持棒214がガイドブロック200内に後退すると、支持棒は、メス係止カットアウト224がガイドブロックの中央柱256(図23)を捕らえるまで、リーフバネ250によって持ち上げられ、ガイドブロックと接触する。メスカットアウト224がガイドブロック柱256に係合すると、メス支持棒214は、押出ブロック180に関連する更なる動作から阻止される。好ましくは、メス支持棒214は、押出ブロック180及び押出棒190が完全な近位位置に到達すると、係止カットアウト部分224に係合する。   After the knife and pusher bar are fully advanced (or advanced to the desired forward position) by the knob 182, the push block 180 pulls the actuator knob proximally through the jaw guide slot 186, thereby the module pan 172. Retreat in. Initially, when the push block 180 is withdrawn proximally, the push rod 190 is withdrawn proximally while the female support rod 214 remains in the distal immobile position due to the offset portion 226 in the support rod. As the distal push block edge retracts and contacts the proximal female bar offset point 232, the female support bar 214 begins to retract proximally with the push block and bar. When the knife support bar 214 is retracted into the guide block 200, the support bar is lifted by the leaf spring 250 and contacts the guide block until the knife locking cutout 224 catches the central column 256 (FIG. 23) of the guide block. When the knife cutout 224 engages the guide block post 256, the knife support bar 214 is prevented from further movement associated with the push block 180. Preferably, the knife support bar 214 engages the locking cutout portion 224 when the extrusion block 180 and the extrusion bar 190 reach a fully proximal position.

図28に示すとおり、アクチュエータノブ182が完全に後退した後、ラッチング部材30は、上述のとおり、ジョー部材22、24に対して枢動して、上部及び下部ジョーを分離する。ジョー部材が分離されると、ステープルカートリッジ90は、除去され、かつ新たなカートリッジで交換することができる。使用されたカートリッジは、カートリッジウィング114を引き上げて、カートリッジ脚110を下部ジョー開口部76から除外することによって、除去することができる。ステープルカートリッジの近位端が下部ジョー開口部76から外に持ち上げられると、カートリッジ脚のノッチ112(図7)は、ラッチピン122との係合から外れて引き出される。ステープルカートリッジ90の近位端が除外された後、カートリッジはカートリッジチャネル70から外に遠位に摺動し、かつ破棄することができる。   As shown in FIG. 28, after the actuator knob 182 is fully retracted, the latching member 30 pivots relative to the jaw members 22, 24 to separate the upper and lower jaws as described above. When the jaw members are separated, the staple cartridge 90 can be removed and replaced with a new cartridge. The used cartridge can be removed by pulling up the cartridge wing 114 to remove the cartridge leg 110 from the lower jaw opening 76. When the proximal end of the staple cartridge is lifted out of the lower jaw opening 76, the cartridge leg notch 112 (FIG. 7) is pulled out of engagement with the latch pin 122. After the proximal end of staple cartridge 90 is removed, the cartridge can slide distally out of cartridge channel 70 and be discarded.

新たなカートリッジ90は、カートリッジのフランジ遠位端を、下部ジョーカートリッジチャネル70の遠位端に対して押圧し、かつジョー開口部76を介してウィング114を下部脚110まで下に押圧することによって、下部ジョー24内に充填することができる。カートリッジ脚110は、脚ノッチ112がラッチピン122上にスナップ嵌めされるまで、下部ジョー開口部76を介して押圧される。ステープルカートリッジ90の近位端が下に押圧されると、カートリッジ上のロックアウトピン106は、リーフバネ250の抵抗力に対して、係止ノッチ228でメス支持棒214を押圧する。ロックアウトピン106の力は、メス支持棒のカットアウト224を下に、かつガイドブロック中央柱256と接触しないで押圧する。メス支持棒214が下に押圧されると、支持棒は、支持棒がスロットを遠位に通過し、新たなカートリッジ内に入ることが可能にするように、ガイドブロック中央スロット220と整合される。したがって、安全なロックアウト機能は、新たなステープルカートリッジの充填中にリセットされる。新たなカートリッジが充填されると、ステープラは、上部ジョー22を下部ジョー24に上に定置し、かつ上部ジョーピン54を下部ジョー整合スロット56内に再挿入することによって、再組立てすることができる。ラッチングフック部材140は、ピン54がノッチ142内に格納されるまで、スロット56の開口部の上で枢動し戻される。ピン54がフック部材ノッチ142内に係止され、ラッチング部材30が下部ジョー24に対する位置内で枢動すると、ステープラは、閉鎖され、新たなカートリッジからステープルを発射する準備が整う。   The new cartridge 90 is pressed by pressing the cartridge flange distal end against the distal end of the lower jaw cartridge channel 70 and pressing the wing 114 down to the lower leg 110 through the jaw opening 76. The lower jaw 24 can be filled. Cartridge leg 110 is pressed through lower jaw opening 76 until leg notch 112 is snapped onto latch pin 122. When the proximal end of the staple cartridge 90 is pressed down, the lockout pin 106 on the cartridge presses the female support bar 214 with the locking notch 228 against the resistance of the leaf spring 250. The force of the lockout pin 106 pushes the cutout 224 of the female support bar down and without contact with the guide block center column 256. When the female support bar 214 is pressed down, the support bar is aligned with the guide block central slot 220 to allow the support bar to pass distally through the slot and into a new cartridge. . Thus, the safe lockout function is reset during the filling of a new staple cartridge. When a new cartridge is filled, the stapler can be reassembled by placing the upper jaw 22 on the lower jaw 24 and reinserting the upper jaw pin 54 into the lower jaw alignment slot 56. The latching hook member 140 is pivoted back over the opening in the slot 56 until the pin 54 is retracted in the notch 142. When the pin 54 is locked in the hook member notch 142 and the latching member 30 pivots in position relative to the lower jaw 24, the stapler is closed and ready to fire staples from a new cartridge.

上述の再利用可能な上部及び下部ジョー、並びにラッチング部材構成要素を、非滅菌パッケージ内でユーザーに提供する。ステープラ20の組立て前に、構成要素は、pH中性酵素洗浄剤で洗浄され、次いで、構成要素を滅菌するために加圧蒸気滅菌される。この調節手順は、構成成分の各々のその後の再利用の前にも行われる。アクチュエータモジュール170は、その複数の可動構成要素により、モジュールの複雑な洗浄を除去するように、患者への単一使用のために設計される。アクチュエータモジュールは、滅菌場所で開封される、滅菌の使い捨てパッケージでユーザーに提供される。ステープルカートリッジ90もまた、滅菌場所で開封される、滅菌の使い捨てパッケージとして送達される。   The reusable upper and lower jaws and latching member components described above are provided to the user in a non-sterile package. Prior to assembly of the stapler 20, the component is cleaned with a pH neutral enzyme detergent and then autoclaved to sterilize the component. This adjustment procedure is also performed before the subsequent reuse of each of the components. The actuator module 170 is designed for a single use on the patient so as to eliminate the complex cleaning of the module due to its multiple movable components. The actuator module is provided to the user in a sterile disposable package that is opened at the sterilization site. The staple cartridge 90 is also delivered as a sterile disposable package that is opened at a sterile location.

ステープラ20を組立てるためには、アクチュエータモジュール170を、そのパッケージから除去され、かつ近位端を、まず下部ジョー部材24の近位チャネル内に挿入する。アクチュエータモジュール170は、近位の戻り止め隆起部178が下部ジョー保持機能86に係合するときに、定置にスナップ嵌めする。次いで、アクチュエータモジュールの遠位端を、下部ジョー24のチャネル形状枠内に下方に回転する。下部ジョーチャネル内のアクチュエータモジュール170を用いて、保護キャップ234を、下方に押圧し、キャップリップ240を下部ジョー側壁64a、64b上の圧痕74内にスナップ嵌めする。保護キャップ234を下に押圧することによって、下部ジョー開口部76を介してガイドブロック中央部分212が押圧され、ガイドブロックスロット212を下部ジョースロット82と整合し、かつアクチュエータモジュールを下部ジョー部材24内の定位置に係止する。アクチュエータモジュール170が下部ジョー部材24内に充填されると、ラッチング部材30は、上述のとおり、ラッチピン122をスロット82及び212内に挿入することによって、下部ジョーに取り付けられる。ラッチング部材30は、下部ジョー部材24対して、図14に示す部分的係止位置まで回転する。この位置において、ラッチング部材30は、下部ジョー部材24に取り付けられるが、上部ジョー22は、下部ジョーから分離可能である。保護キャップ234は、図に示すキャップ上の矢印で示すとおり、キャップを遠位方向に移動させることによって、アクチュエータモジュール170から除去される。   To assemble the stapler 20, the actuator module 170 is removed from its package and the proximal end is first inserted into the proximal channel of the lower jaw member 24. The actuator module 170 snaps into place when the proximal detent ridge 178 engages the lower jaw retention feature 86. The distal end of the actuator module is then rotated down into the channel-shaped frame of the lower jaw 24. Using the actuator module 170 in the lower jaw channel, the protective cap 234 is pressed downward and the cap lip 240 is snapped into the indentations 74 on the lower jaw sidewalls 64a, 64b. By pressing down the protective cap 234, the guide block central portion 212 is pressed through the lower jaw opening 76, aligning the guide block slot 212 with the lower jaw slot 82, and aligning the actuator module in the lower jaw member 24. Lock in place. When the actuator module 170 is filled into the lower jaw member 24, the latching member 30 is attached to the lower jaw by inserting the latch pin 122 into the slots 82 and 212 as described above. The latching member 30 rotates relative to the lower jaw member 24 to the partially locked position shown in FIG. In this position, the latching member 30 is attached to the lower jaw member 24, while the upper jaw 22 is separable from the lower jaw. The protective cap 234 is removed from the actuator module 170 by moving the cap distally, as indicated by the arrow on the cap shown in the figure.

次に、新たなステープルカートリッジ90を、上述の方法で、下部ジョーカートリッジチャネル70内に挿入する。ステープルカートリッジが充填された後、上部ジョー部材22を、整合スロット56内に挿入されたピン54を用いて、下部ジョー部材24の上に定置する。ラッチング部材30は、上部及び下部ジョー部材22、24に対して枢動し、フック部材カム表面144が、ピン54がスロットから係脱するのを防止するために、整合スロット56まで開口部の上に延在する、閉鎖前位置(図15に示す)にステープラを定置する。切断される組織は、アンビル44とステープルカートリッジ90との間に定置され、所望位置に調節される。組織停止部52は、組織がステープラ内の遥か後ろに位置付けられるのを防止する。組織が適切に位置されると、ステープラは、ラッチング部材30を回転させて、爪部材24と接触させ、フック部材140をスロット56の上に定置し、かつ係止ピン54をフック部材ノッチ142の内部に定置することによって、発射に向けて閉鎖される。この状態において、組織は、デバイス内で締付られる。更なる組織調整が必要とされる場合、ステープラは、図16に示すとおり、閉鎖前状態に戻すことができ、そこで、上部及び下部ジョー部材の遠位端は、互いに対してわずかに移動し、組織の再配置を調整することができる。組織がジョー部材との間に適切に締付けられ、ラッチング部材30が閉鎖動作位置に枢動されると、ステープラは、ノブが停止するまで、ガイドスロット186を介してアクチュエータノブ182を前方に押圧することによって、発射することができる。ノブが前進すると、締付けられた組織は、ステープルされ、切断される。アクチュエータノブ182がその遠位停止部に到達した後、ノブは、ガイドスロット186を介して近位に引き戻される。ノブ通路の遠位端で、戻り止めバネ252とプッシュブロックノッチ254との相互作用は、ノブが完全に後退したという触覚的かつ聴覚的フィードバックを提供し、アクチュエータ構成要素がステープルカートリッジ90からモジュールパン172内に回収され戻されたことをシグナル伝達する。   Next, a new staple cartridge 90 is inserted into the lower jaw cartridge channel 70 in the manner described above. After the staple cartridge is filled, the upper jaw member 22 is placed over the lower jaw member 24 using pins 54 inserted into the alignment slot 56. The latching member 30 pivots relative to the upper and lower jaw members 22, 24 so that the hook member cam surface 144 is above the opening to the alignment slot 56 to prevent the pin 54 from disengaging from the slot. The stapler is placed in a pre-closure position (shown in FIG. 15) that extends to The tissue to be cut is placed between the anvil 44 and the staple cartridge 90 and adjusted to the desired position. The tissue stop 52 prevents the tissue from being positioned far behind in the stapler. When the tissue is properly positioned, the stapler rotates the latching member 30 into contact with the pawl member 24, places the hook member 140 over the slot 56, and secures the locking pin 54 to the hook member notch 142. By being placed inside, it is closed for launch. In this state, the tissue is tightened within the device. If further tissue adjustment is required, the stapler can be returned to the pre-closed state, as shown in FIG. 16, where the distal ends of the upper and lower jaw members move slightly relative to each other, Organizational relocation can be adjusted. When the tissue is properly clamped between the jaw members and the latching member 30 is pivoted to the closed operating position, the stapler pushes the actuator knob 182 forward through the guide slot 186 until the knob stops. Can be fired. As the knob advances, the clamped tissue is stapled and cut. After the actuator knob 182 reaches its distal stop, the knob is pulled back proximally through the guide slot 186. At the distal end of the knob passage, the interaction of the detent spring 252 and the push block notch 254 provides tactile and audible feedback that the knob has been fully retracted, and the actuator component is moved from the staple cartridge 90 to the module pan. Signal that it has been collected back in 172.

更なるステープリング及び切断工程が手術を完了するのに望ましい場合、ラッチング部材30は、上部ジョー22が除去され、使用済みステープルカートリッジが破棄され、かつ新たなステープルカートリッジと交換されるように、枢動して部分的係止状態に戻る。新たなカートリッジが定位置に置かれた後、ラッチング部材30は、組織が、新たなカートリッジを使用して、再度、位置付けられ、締付けられ、ステープルされるのを可能にするために、枢動して閉鎖前及び閉鎖状態に戻ることができる。すべての必要な組織が切断されると、ラッチング部材30は、部材を回転して開放状態(図13に示す)に戻し、かつラッチピン122をスロット82及び212から外に摺動させることによって、除去される。次いで、アクチュエータモジュール170及びステープルカートリッジ90は、下部ジョー部材24から除去され、破棄することができる。残りの構成要素(上部ジョー、下部ジョー、及びラッチング部材)は、再利用に向けて個別の構成成分として洗浄し、かつ滅菌することができる。   If additional stapling and cutting steps are desired to complete the surgery, the latching member 30 can be pivoted so that the upper jaw 22 is removed, the used staple cartridge is discarded, and replaced with a new staple cartridge. Move back to the partially locked state. After the new cartridge is in place, the latching member 30 pivots to allow the tissue to be repositioned, clamped and stapled using the new cartridge. To return to the closed state. Once all the necessary tissue has been cut, the latching member 30 is removed by rotating the member back to the open state (shown in FIG. 13) and sliding the latch pin 122 out of the slots 82 and 212. Is done. The actuator module 170 and staple cartridge 90 can then be removed from the lower jaw member 24 and discarded. The remaining components (upper jaw, lower jaw, and latching member) can be cleaned and sterilized as separate components for reuse.

本発明において、アクチュエータモジュール170は、ステープルカートリッジ90とは個別の構成成分であり、アクチュエータモジュールを交換せずに、使用済みステープルカートリッジが患者の単一手術中に交換されるのを可能にする。したがって、アクチュエータモジュールは、異なるステープルカートリッジを使用して、同一の患者に複数回使用し得る。単一部品のモジュールパン172を、アクチュエータモジュール構成要素の支持構造として使用することによって、アクチュエータモジュールを下部ジョーチャネル内に容易に組立て、かつそこから分解することが可能になる。再利用可能なステープラ構成要素は、部品の再生及び再利用の繰り返しを促進するような簡素な単一部品設計を有する。ラッチング部材の脱着可能な設計は、ステープラの再利用可能な構成要素の容易な分解及び再組立てを促進する。更に、ステープラが組立てられると、ラッチング及び下部ジョー部材の保持及び係止機能は、手術中の不測の分解を予防する。   In the present invention, the actuator module 170 is a separate component from the staple cartridge 90 and allows the used staple cartridge to be replaced during a single operation of the patient without replacing the actuator module. Thus, the actuator module can be used multiple times for the same patient using different staple cartridges. Using the single part module pan 172 as a support structure for the actuator module components allows the actuator module to be easily assembled and disassembled from the lower jaw channel. The reusable stapler component has a simple single part design that facilitates repeated recycling and reuse of parts. The removable design of the latching member facilitates easy disassembly and reassembly of the reusable components of the stapler. Further, once the stapler is assembled, the latching and lower jaw member retention and locking features prevent accidental disassembly during surgery.
