具体实施方式
本领域技术人员将理解,本文中具体描述的和附图中示出的装载 单元和方法是非限制性的示例性实施例。可以预想的是,在不脱离本 发明的范围的情况下,结合一个示例性实施例示出或描述的元件和特 征可以与另一个元件和特征组合。同样,本领域技术人员将基于所描 述的实施例理解本发明的另外特征和优点。因此,除了如所附权利要 求所指示的之外,本发明不限于已经特别示出和描述的内容。

下面描述目前公开的刀组件、铰接组件以及包括目前公开的刀组 件和铰接组件的外科手术装载单元的其它优点。
图1A和图1B示出了与外科手术装载单元一起使用的外科手术缝 合器械,该外科手术装载单元并入了目前公开的铰接组件130和刀组件 160的实施例,一般称为外科手术缝合器械10a和10b。外科手术缝合器 械10a和10b中的每一个可以与同一个外科手术装载单元100一起使用。 虽然所描绘的外科手术缝合器械10a、10b发射缝合钉,但是可以设想的是,外科手术装载单元100可以适于发射任何其它合适的紧固件,诸 如夹具和两部分紧固件。另外,虽然附图描绘了线性外科手术缝合器 械,但可以预想的是,目前公开的铰接组件和刀组件适合与其它类型 的内窥镜外科手术器械一起使用,包括非线性外科手术缝合器装载单 元、内窥镜钳、抓握器、解剖器、其它类型的外科手术缝合器械、动 力血管器密封和/或切割装置等。
一般来说,参考图1A,外科手术器械10a包括包含可移动手柄14 的手柄组件12,从手柄组件12延伸的适配器组件16以及联接到适配器 组件16的外管18的远端部分的外科手术装载单元100。如本领域中已知 的那样,可移动手柄14可致动(例如,通过一个或多个冲程)以引起 驱动杆(未示出)的远侧推进,使得驱动杆接合驱动组件(未示出) 的一部分,其迫使驱动组件的至少一部分向远侧平移,从而从外科手 术装载单元100发射缝合钉。关于可移动手柄14的致动如何引起驱动杆 的远侧推进的另外细节在Milliman等人的美国专利第6,953,139号中进 行解释,其全部内容以引用方式并入本文中。
一般来说,参考图1B,外科手术器械10b是马达驱动的机电装置, 其包括包含控制件或按钮22的手柄组件20,联接到手柄组件20的适配 器组件24以及邻近适配器组件24的外管30的远侧部分32设置的外科手 术装载单元100。适配器组件24包括联接到手柄组件20的远端部分的外 旋钮壳体26,并且适配器组件24的外管30从旋钮壳体26的远端部分延伸。手柄组件20的按钮22与机动驱动轴(未示出)电连通,该机动驱 动轴可操作地联接到装载单元100的铰接组件130,使得致动按钮22的 致动引起铰接机构130铰接装载单元100的末端执行器110,如将在下面 进一步详细描述。
例如,可以在美国专利申请第14/550,071号(现在的美国专利申请 公布第2015/0157320号)中找到外科手术器械10b的手柄组件20和适配 器组件24的各个部件的详细描述,其全部内容以引用方式并入本文中。
装载单元100适于附接到外科手术缝合器械10b的适配器组件24的 外管30(或外科手术缝合器械10a的适配器组件16的外管18)。装载单 元100可以被构造成单次使用,或者可以被构造成不止一次地使用,并 且包括细长主体102和支撑在细长主体102的远侧部分102b上的末端执 行器110。在一些实施例中,包括钉仓112和砧座114的末端执行器110可以不形成装载单元100的一部分,而是可以直接可枢转地联接到适配 器组件24的外管30的远侧部分32。
装载单元100的细长主体102限定第一纵向轴线“X1”并具有近侧部 分102a,该近侧部分使用例如卡口式或鲁尔式联轴器而可移除地容纳 在外科手术缝合器械10b的适配器组件24的外管30的远侧部分32内。装 载单元100的细长主体102可以包括外壳体或管106(图2A)以及设置在 外壳体106内的内壳体或管108。在一些实施例中,装载单元100的细长主体102可以与外科手术缝合器械10b的适配器组件24的外管30整体连 接或整体形成。
参考图2A到图2D,装载单元100的末端执行器110限定第二纵向轴 线“X2”,当末端执行器110处于非铰接位置时(图2A到图2D和图6A), 第二纵向轴线“X2”与细长主体102的第一纵向轴线“X1”对齐,并且当末 端执行器110处于铰接位置时(图6B和图6C),第二纵向轴线“X2”与细 长主体102的第一纵向轴线“X1”不对齐。末端执行器110具有可枢转地 联接到细长主体102的远侧部分102b的近侧部分110a。
具体而言,参考图3到图6C,装载单元100的细长主体102的远侧部 分102b包括轴向地固定在细长主体102的内壳108内的支撑结构或平台 116(图3)。支撑结构116具有细长的平面构造,但是在一些实施例中, 可以采取任何合适的构型,诸如管状、圆柱形等。细长主体102的支撑 结构116具有向远侧延伸的渐缩延伸部118。末端执行器110的近侧部分110a包括从其向近侧延伸的一对凸缘113a、113b。支撑结构116的渐缩 延伸部118容纳在限定在末端执行器110的该对凸缘113a、113b之间的空 间中。枢转销120延伸穿过细长主体102的支撑结构116的渐缩延伸部 118和末端执行器110的该对凸缘113a、113b中的每一个以将末端执行 器110可枢转地连接到细长主体102。在一些实施例中,可以设想到末 端执行器110与细长主体102之间的其它可枢转连接,诸如例如,球窝 连接。
继续参考图3到图6C,装载单元100包括铰接组件130,其将末端执 行器110可操作地互连到细长主体102,以利于末端执行器110相对于细 长主体102的铰接。目前公开的铰接组件130最适合与图1B的动力外科 手术缝合器械10b一起使用。然而,可以设想的是,铰接组件130可以 被修改以与图1A的手动操作的外科手术缝合器械10a一起使用。
装载单元100的铰接组件130与由细长主体102限定的中心纵向轴 线“X1”横向偏移,并且包括细长驱动螺母132,可操作地联接到驱动螺 母132的细长驱动螺杆134,以及可操作地联接到驱动螺杆134的铰接连 杆136。驱动螺母132和驱动螺杆134彼此轴向对齐,并且每一个平行延 伸并与细长主体102的中心纵向轴线“X1”横向偏移。驱动螺母132延伸 穿过支撑结构116的纵向侧122的近侧部分116a,并且驱动螺杆134延伸 穿过支撑结构116的纵向侧122的远侧部分116b。驱动螺母132可旋转地 支撑并且轴向地固定在支撑结构116的纵向侧122中,并且驱动螺杆134 键接到支撑结构116的纵向侧122以防止驱动螺杆134的旋转,同时允许 驱动螺杆134相对于支撑结构116的线性平移。
通过将铰接组件130的驱动螺母132和驱动螺杆134定位成邻近装 载单元100的细长主体102的远端而不是近端,减小了通常在细长主体 102的近端发生的空隙量。
铰接组件130的驱动螺母132具有可操作地联接到手柄组件20的致 动按钮22(图1B)的近侧部分132a,以及远侧部分132b。铰接组件130 的驱动螺杆134具有设置在驱动螺母132的远侧部分132b内的近侧部分 134a,并且限定可操作地联接到限定在驱动单元132中的内螺纹的外螺 纹。这样,驱动螺母132响应于按钮22(图1B)的致动相对于支撑结构116并在其内的旋转实现驱动螺杆134在支撑结构116内并相对于其的 线性平移。
铰接组件130的铰接连杆136具有可枢转地联接到驱动螺杆134的 远侧部分134b的近侧部分136a,以及可枢转地联接到末端执行器110的 近侧部分110a(例如,凸缘113a或113b中一个或两个)的远侧部分136b。 铰接连杆136可以具有弓形构型,其中凸横向侧朝向装载单元100的枢 转轴线定向而凹侧面背向该枢转轴线定向。在一些实施例中,铰接连 杆136可以采取任何合适的形状,诸如例如线性。铰接连杆136将驱动 螺杆134的线性运动转换为枢转运动,以将末端执行器110相对于细长 主体102进行铰接。
现在参考图6A到图6C,在使用中,铰接组件130的驱动螺母132经 由按钮22(图1B)致动的旋转使铰接组件130的驱动螺杆134基于驱动 螺母132的旋转方向在近侧或远侧方向上线性平移。例如,如图6B中所 示,驱动螺母132的顺时针旋转可以导致驱动螺杆134相对于驱动螺母 132的远侧平移。由于末端执行器110相对于细长主体102轴向地固定, 所以当驱动螺杆134在图6B中的箭头“A”所示的远侧方向上平移时,铰 接组件130的铰接连杆136围绕其近侧部分136a并相对于驱动螺杆134 的远侧部分134b在图6B中的箭头“B”所示的第一方向上枢转。铰接连杆 136还围绕其远侧部分136b相对于末端执行器110的近侧部分110a枢转, 这实现了末端执行器110在“B”方向上的铰接。
类似地,如图6C中所示,驱动螺母132的逆时针旋转可导致驱动螺 杆134相对于驱动螺母132的近侧平移。当驱动螺杆134在图6C中的箭头 “C”所示的近侧方向上平移时,铰接连杆136围绕其近侧部分136a相对 于驱动螺杆134的远侧部分134b稍微枢转。由于铰接连杆136的远侧部 分136b在与中心纵向轴线“X2”偏离的位置处联接到末端执行器110,所以末端执行器110在图6C中的箭头“D”所示的方向上相对于细长主体 102铰接。
参考图2A到图2D、图3、图4和图7到图12中,示出了装载单元100 的刀组件160。如上面简要提及,刀组件160包括挠性刀杆162,该挠性 刀杆在其第一或远侧部段162a处支撑刀片164(图13B),并且在末端执 行器110相对于细长主体102的上述铰接期间弯曲。
具体参考图7到图12,刀组件160的刀杆162具有延伸穿过装载单元 100的细长主体102的第二或中间部段162b,以及第三或近侧部段162c, 该第三或近侧部段可操作地联接到刀杆推动器166以将刀杆162联接到 手柄组件20的按钮22(图1B)或联接到手柄组件20的另一致动按钮, 例如致动按钮23。刀片164(图13B)联接到刀杆162的远侧部段162a 或与其整体形成。这样,按钮23的致动使刀杆162和相关联的刀片164 向远侧平移穿过末端执行器110以切割由末端执行器110抓握的组织。 刀杆162沿其长度分叉以限定一对纵向延伸的刀杆轴168a、168b(图 12),其间设置有细长主体102的支撑结构116。
刀组件160还包括支撑刀杆162的中间部段或第二部段162b的细长 导向构件或轨道170。轨道170支撑在支撑结构116的顶侧117a上并且在 装载单元100的细长主体102的内壳体108中(图3)。刀组件160的轨道170具有线性的矩形形状,并且限定了纵向延伸通道172,其具有可滑 动地支撑在其中的刀杆162的中间部段162b。在实施例中,轨道170可 以采取各种合适的形状,诸如例如管状。
轨道170包括其上支撑刀杆162的中间部段162b的底壁172,以及从 底壁172垂直延伸的一对平行侧壁174、176。该对侧壁174、176沿着刀 杆162的中间部段162b的相应横向侧178a、178b延伸并且支撑其,使得 轨道170至少部分地围绕刀杆162的中间部段162b。轨道170由赋予轨道 170轴向刚度的材料制成,诸如聚酰胺酰亚胺或聚醚醚酮。轨道170比 挠性刀杆162具有更大刚度(例如,较小的挠性)。由于轨道170比刀杆 162具有更大轴向刚度,所以轨道170在末端执行器110的铰接期间抵制 沿着其长度的弯曲以保持刀杆162的中间部段162b的线性。
刀组件160的轨道170可移动地支撑在细长主体102的支撑结构116 的顶侧117a上。支撑结构116的顶侧117a在其中限定浅空腔180。轨道170 可枢转地支撑在支撑结构116的空腔180中。限定在支撑结构116中的空 腔180具有近侧部分180a和远侧扩张的远侧部分180b。如将在下面详细 描述,空腔180的远侧部分180b允许轨道170的远侧部分170b在末端执 行器110的铰接期间横穿其中。支撑结构116的空腔180和轨道170具有 基本类似的长度,从而防止轨道170在空腔180内并且相对于支撑结构 116纵向平移。在一些实施例中,轨道170可以具有从轨道170的平行侧 壁174、176延伸的圆形突片182,其可枢转地连接到细长主体102的内 壳体108(图3),以允许轨道170相对于支撑结构116旋转,而防止轨道 170相对于支撑结构116的纵向平移。
继续参考图7到图12,刀组件160还包括分别沿着刀杆162的横向侧 178a、178b延伸的吹出板或支撑件184、186。吹出板184、186比轨道 170更具挠性,以允许板184、186在末端执行器110的铰接期间弯曲, 但是比刀杆162更不具挠性,以防止刀杆162的远侧部段162a在末端执 行器110的铰接期间屈曲。
每个吹出板184、186分别具有近侧部分184a、186a和远侧部分 184b、186b。第一吹出板184的近侧部分184a设置在刀杆162的第一横 向侧178a与轨道170的第一侧壁174之间。第二吹出板186的近侧部分 186a设置在刀杆162的第二横向侧178b与轨道170的第二侧壁176之间。 每个吹出板184、186的近侧部分184a、186a可滑动地容纳在轨道170的 通道172内。
每个吹出板184、186的远侧部分184b、186b固定到末端执行器110 的近侧部分110a。以这种方式,当末端执行器110相对于细长主体102 进行铰接时,由于吹出板184、186之间的径向距离在末端执行器110的 铰接期间改变,吹出板184或186中的一个将在近侧方向上被拉动,而 吹出板184或186中的另一个将在远侧方向上被推动。在吹出板184、186 的远侧部分184b、186b的推动和/或拉动期间,其近侧部分184a、186a 在轨道170的通道172和刀杆162内并相对于其滑动。
如图12中所示,刀组件160具有支撑刀杆162的第二刀杆轴168b的 另一个轨道170'和另一对吹出板184'、186',每个吹出板都设置在支撑 结构116的底侧117b上。由于设置在支撑结构116的顶侧117a上的刀组件 160的部件与设置在支撑结构116的底侧117b上的刀组件160的部件的 基本相似性,将不描述在支撑结构116的底侧117b上的刀组件160的部 件。
继续参考图7到图12,装载单元100的末端执行器110的近侧部分 110a与刀组件160协作以利于刀组件160的刀杆162沿着其轴线的弯曲 以及刀杆162相对于细长主体102的支撑结构116的移位。末端执行器 110的近侧部分110a包括在近侧方向上渐缩的第一壁188和第二壁190。 末端执行器110的壁188、190支撑在末端执行器110的顶部凸缘113a上。如上所述,刀杆162被分成两个轴168a、168b,因此末端执行器110的 近侧部分110a可以具有支撑在末端执行器110的底部凸缘113b上的另一 对壁(未明确示出),用于与刀杆162的第二刀杆轴168b相互作用。第 一壁188和第二壁190协作地限定近侧扩张空腔192,刀杆162的远侧部 段162a和每个吹出板184、186的远端部分184b、186b均延伸穿过该近 侧扩张空腔。当刀杆162随着末端执行器110的铰接而在第一或第二方 向中的任一个方向上弯曲时,末端执行器110的近侧部分110a的空腔192 容纳刀杆162的远侧部分162a的移动。
末端执行器110的第一壁188和第二壁190中的每一个分别限定弓 形侧表面194、196。弓形侧表面194、196横跨末端执行器110的近侧部 分110a的空腔192彼此横向间隔开。在一些实施例中,第一壁188和第 二壁190的侧表面194、196可采取各种形状。第一壁188的弓形侧表面 194朝向刀杆162的第一横向侧178a定向,而第二壁190的弓形侧表面 196朝向刀杆162的第二横向侧178b定向。如将在下面详细描述,在末 端执行器110相对于细长主体102的铰接期间,末端执行器110的相应第 一壁188和第二壁190的弓形侧表面194、196接触相应的吹出板,以使 吹出板184、186和刀杆162的远侧部段162a弯曲。
在操作中,末端执行器110可以相对于细长主体102在如由图6B和 图11中的箭头“B”所示的第一方向上或如由图6C中的箭头“D”所示的第 二方向上经由如上所述的铰接组件130进行铰接。在装载单元100的末 端执行器110相对于细长主体102在第一方向“B”上的铰接期间,刀杆 162的远侧部段162a(例如,跨越细长主体102的远侧部分102b和末端 执行器110的近侧部分110a中每一个的刀杆162部段)在第一方向“B”上 弯曲。
在末端执行器110达到阈值铰接量之后,末端执行器110的第一壁 188的弓形侧表面194接触第一吹出板184以在与第一方向“B”基本相反 的方向(例如,由图11中的箭头“D”所示的方向)上推动刀杆162的远 侧部段162a和中间部段162b。末端执行器110在方向“B”上的进一步铰 接导致末端执行器110的第一壁188的近端193接触第一吹出板184以进 一步在与末端执行器110的铰接运动基本相反的方向上推动刀杆162的 远侧部段162a和中间部段162b。
由于刀杆162的第二或中间部段162b设置在刀组件160的轨道170 的通道172内,所以刀杆162在方向“D”上的移动或移位也引起轨道170 在方向“D”上移动或移动。由于轨道170的近侧部分170a相对于支撑结 构116轴向地固定,并且轨道170的远侧部分170b自由移动,因此轨道 170的远侧部分170b围绕其近侧部分170a枢转。
虽然刀杆162的远侧部段162a在末端执行器110的铰接期间弯曲, 但刀杆162的中间部段162b保持线性,因为刀杆162的中间部段162b在 轨道170内延伸。当刀组件160的轨道170在方向“D”上枢转时,轨道170 的远侧部分170b朝向由细长主体102限定的中心纵向轴线“X1”的第一 侧移动,并且末端致动器110的远侧部分110b(图2B)朝向由细长主体 102限定的中心纵向轴线“X1”的第二侧移动。
当刀组件160的轨道170围绕其近侧部分170a枢转时,假设刀杆162 在轨道170的近侧部分170a附近的点“P”处设置在轨道170外部,则刀组 件160的刀杆162在点“P”处弯曲。当刀杆162的远侧部段162a在末端执 行器110的铰接期间在方向“B”上弯曲时,刀杆162在点“P”处在方向“D” 上弯曲。以这种方式,刀杆162的远侧部段162a和中间部段162b在与刀 杆162的远侧部段162a弯曲或屈曲的方向相反的方向上移位或枢转。通 过使刀杆162的远侧部段162a和中间部段162b在与刀杆162的远侧部段 162a的弯曲方向相反的方向上移动,刀杆162的远侧部段162a的曲率半 径增加。增加刀杆162的远侧部段162a的曲率半径减小了在末端执行器 110在方向“B”上的铰接期间刀杆162上的应力。
装载单元100的末端执行器110在相反方向(例如,方向“D”)上的 铰接引起刀组件160的刀杆162中的相似现象,但是在相反的方向上。 具体而言,当末端执行器110在第二方向“D”上铰接时,刀杆162的远侧 部段162a在第二方向“D”上弯曲或屈曲。在末端执行器110达到阈值铰 接量之后,末端执行器110的第二壁190的弓形侧表面196接触刀组件 160的第二吹出板186,以在与第二方向“D”基本相反的方向(例如,方 向“B”)上推动刀杆162的远侧部段162a和中间部段162b。
由于刀杆162的中间部段162b设置在轨道170的通道172内,因此刀 杆162的中间部段162b在方向“B”上的移动或移位也引起轨道170在方 向“B”上移动或枢转。当轨道170围绕其近侧部分170a枢转时,刀杆162 在点“P”处弯曲。当刀杆162在点“P”处在方向“B”上弯曲时,刀杆162的 中间部段162b的线性轮廓由轨道170保持。以这种方式,刀杆162的远侧部段162a在与刀杆162的远侧部段162a和中间部段162b移位或移动 方向相反的方向上弯曲或屈曲。通过使刀杆162的远侧部段162a和中间 部段162b在与刀杆162的远侧部段162a的弯曲方向相反的方向上移动, 刀杆162的远侧部段162a的曲率半径增加。增加刀杆162的远侧部段 162a的曲率半径减小了在末端执行器110在方向“D”上的铰接期间刀杆162上的应力。
参考图13A和图13B,示出了末端执行器110的钉仓112和砧座114。 钉仓112和砧座114中的每一个分别限定纵向延伸通道115a、115b。刀片 164的顶部具有可滑动地捕获在砧座114的通道115b内的横向延伸突起164a,并且刀片164的底部具有可滑动地捕获在钉仓112的通道115a内的 横向延伸突起164b。通道115a、115b在其中支撑刀片164以在刀片164平移穿过末端执行器110期间使刀片164稳定。
本发明还涉及使用所描述的外科手术缝合器械10a、10b来执行外 科手术和/或使外科手术缝合装载单元的末端执行器铰接的方法。可以 使用Milliman等人的美国专利第6,953,139号中公开的类似机构从末端 执行器的钉仓中发射缝合钉,该专利以引用方式并入本文中。
