Description

Dispositif de support d'un matériel médical, nécessaire de traitement et procédé de préparation associé.  Device for supporting medical equipment, treatment equipment and method of preparation thereof
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de support d'un matériel médical. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté pour recevoir un matériel médical présentant une grande longueur par rapport à sa largeur.  The present invention relates to a device for supporting medical equipment. The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for receiving medical equipment having a great length relative to its width.
Il est notamment propre à recevoir un matériel destiné à être introduit dans le système vasculaire d'un patient en vue de réaliser un diagnostic ou un traitement d'une pathologie du patient. Un exemple de matériel médical pouvant être introduit est un guide chirurgical, un cathéter, un ballon de dilatation, un dispositif d'introduction d'un implant, tel qu'un stent, une endoprothèse, un stent couvert, une valve, ou encore un dispositif d'introduction d'une sonde.  It is particularly suitable for receiving material intended to be introduced into the vascular system of a patient in order to perform a diagnosis or a treatment of a pathology of the patient. An example of a medical device that can be introduced is a surgical guide, a catheter, an expansion balloon, an implant introduction device, such as a stent, a stent, a stent-graft, a valve, or a device for introducing a probe.
Le matériel médical est destiné à être utilisé par exemple en radiologie interventionnelle, en cardiologie interventionnelle, en neurochirurgie, en chirurgie vasculaire, en chirurgie cardiaque (valve percutanée ou transapicale) ou en neurovasculaire (embolisation, stent couvert ).  The medical equipment is intended to be used for example in interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, cardiac surgery (percutaneous or transapical valve) or neurovascular (embolization, stent covered).
Pour minimiser le risque interventionnel subi par le patient, les techniques endoluminales d'introduction de matériel médical à travers le système vasculaire du patient sont de plus en plus utilisées.  To minimize the interventional risk to the patient, endoluminal techniques of introducing medical equipment through the patient's vascular system are being used more and more.
A cet effet, un grand nombre de matériels médicaux peuvent être conduits dans le système vasculaire jusqu'à un point de traitement ou de diagnostic dans le corps du patient. Le matériel est introduit dans le corps par une incision ou par une ponction percutanée ménagée dans une artère ou dans une veine, par exemple, au niveau d'un poignet, ou par voie fémorale, à l'intérieur de la cuisse.  For this purpose, a large number of medical devices can be conducted in the vascular system to a point of treatment or diagnosis in the patient's body. The material is introduced into the body through an incision or a percutaneous puncture in an artery or vein, for example, at the level of a wrist, or femoral, inside the thigh.
Lors de cette intervention, le praticien introduit tout d'abord une partie distale du matériel médical dans le corps du patient, après avoir réalisé l'incision.  During this procedure, the practitioner first introduces a distal part of the medical equipment into the patient's body, after making the incision.
Cependant, le matériel médical présente par nature une longueur importante, pour permettre son introduction jusqu'au point de traitement ou de diagnostic. Par suite, la partie proximale du matériel médical reste posée sur un champ opératoire et est introduite au fur et à mesure dans le patient.  However, the medical equipment is inherently long, to allow its introduction to the point of treatment or diagnosis. As a result, the proximal part of the medical equipment remains on an operating field and is introduced as and when in the patient.
La longueur du matériel médical peut être importante, par exemple supérieure au mètre et notamment de l'ordre d'1 ,80 mètre, voire jusqu'à 3,20 mètres. Le matériel médical est en outre susceptible de se tordre ou de s'enrouler, et il est parfois difficile de le maintenir de manière linéaire sur le champ opératoire.  The length of the medical equipment may be large, for example greater than one meter and in particular of the order of 1.80 meters or even up to 3.20 meters. Medical equipment is also likely to twist or curl, and it is sometimes difficult to keep it in a linear fashion on the operative field.
Une telle technique ne donne donc pas entière satisfaction. En effet, la partie proximale du matériel médical destinée à être introduite dans le corps doit rester stérile lors de toute l'intervention. Si celle-ci est mal maintenue sur le champ opératoire, elle est susceptible de tomber à terre ou de toucher une partie non stérile du champ opératoire ou de son environnement péri opératoire, ce qui peut provoquer une contamination microbienne. De plus, le matériel médical est généralement muni d'un revêtement antiadhérent ou hydrophile pour faciliter sa navigation adéquate dans le système vasculaire. Pour garantir les propriétés anti adhérentes ou hydrophiles, le revêtement doit généralement rester humide, ce qui est difficile à réaliser dans le contexte d'une salle d'opération. Such a technique is therefore not entirely satisfactory. Indeed, the proximal part of the medical equipment intended to be introduced into the body must remain sterile during the entire procedure. If it is poorly maintained on the operative field, it is may fall to the ground or touch a non-sterile part of the operative field or its perioperative environment, which may cause microbial contamination. In addition, medical equipment is generally provided with a non-stick or hydrophilic coating to facilitate its proper navigation in the vascular system. To ensure the anti-adherent or hydrophilic properties, the coating must generally remain wet, which is difficult to achieve in the context of an operating room.
Un but de l'invention est donc de fournir un dispositif qui simplifie la manipulation de matériel médical, avant son introduction dans un patient, tout en préservant l'asepsie et les propriétés de ce matériel.  An object of the invention is therefore to provide a device that simplifies the handling of medical equipment, before its introduction into a patient, while preserving the asepsis and the properties of this material.

Un premier nécessaire 10 de traitement selon l'invention est illustré par les figures A first treatment kit 10 according to the invention is illustrated by the figures
1 à 3. 1 to 3.
Le premier nécessaire 10 comporte au moins un matériel médical 12 destiné à être introduit dans un patient, et un dispositif 14 de support du matériel médical 12 destiné au conditionnement et à la manipulation du matériel 12 avant son introduction dans le patient et lors de l'introduction. Il comporte également un ensemble 16 d'humidification et/de lubrification du matériel médical 12 disposé dans le dispositif de support 14.  The first necessary 10 comprises at least one medical device 12 intended to be introduced into a patient, and a device 14 for supporting the medical equipment 12 for the packaging and handling of the equipment 12 before its introduction into the patient and during the introduction. It also comprises a humidification and / or lubrication assembly 16 for medical equipment 12 disposed in the support device 14.
Dans cet exemple, le matériel médical 12 est de forme allongée. Il présente une longueur très supérieure à ses autres dimensions, par exemple au moins deux fois supérieure à ses autres dimensions. La longueur du matériel médical 12 peut être supérieure au mètre.  In this example, the medical equipment 12 is elongated. It has a length much greater than its other dimensions, for example at least twice greater than its other dimensions. The length of the medical equipment 12 may be greater than one meter.
Le matériel médical 12 est par exemple destiné à être utilisé en radiologie interventionnelle, en cardiologie interventionnelle, en neurochirurgie, en chirurgie vasculaire, en chirurgie cardiaque (valve percutanée ou transapicale) et/ou neurovasculaire. Il est destiné à être introduit dans le patient, par exemple dans le système vasculaire du patient ou par un autre conduit naturel, pour le diagnostic ou/et le traitement de pathologies. The medical equipment 12 is for example intended to be used in interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, cardiac surgery (percutaneous or transapical valve) and / or Neurovascular. It is intended to be introduced into the patient, for example into the vascular system of the patient or by another natural conduit, for the diagnosis and / or the treatment of pathologies.
Le matériel médical 12 est notamment choisi parmi un guide, un cathéter, un ballon de dilatation, un dispositif d'introduction d'implant, par exemple d'une endoprothèse tubulaire, d'une valve, d'une endoprothèse ou d'un stent couvert, ou un dispositif d'introduction d'une sonde.  The medical equipment 12 is chosen in particular from a guide, a catheter, a dilatation balloon, an implant introduction device, for example a tubular stent, a valve, a stent or a stent. covered, or a device for introducing a probe.
Le matériel médical 12 est destiné à être introduit par exemple par voie axillaire, sous clavière, humérale, radiale, fémorale, poplitée ou jambière.  Medical equipment 12 is intended to be introduced for example axillary, subclavian, humeral, radial, femoral, popliteal or leg.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 , le matériel 12 est représenté par un trait filiforme unique.  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the material 12 is represented by a single filiform line.
Comme on le verra plus bas, le dispositif de support 14 peut contenir plusieurs matériels médicaux 12 distincts, tels que définis plus haut.  As will be seen below, the support device 14 may contain several different medical devices 12, as defined above.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de support 14 comporte une gouttière 20 de réception délimitant un espace intérieur 22 de réception du matériel médical 12, et une pluralité de supports de gouttière 24A à 24E répartis suivant la longueur de la gouttière 20.  According to the invention, the support device 14 comprises a receiving channel 20 delimiting an interior space 22 for receiving the medical equipment 12, and a plurality of gutter supports 24A to 24E distributed along the length of the channel 20.
Le dispositif 14 comporte également au moins une paroi proximale 26 et au moins une paroi distale 28 obturant longitudinalement l'espace intérieur 22.  The device 14 also comprises at least one proximal wall 26 and at least one distal wall 28 closing the interior space 22 longitudinally.
Avantageusement, le dispositif 14 comprend en outre au moins un organe 30A, Advantageously, the device 14 further comprises at least one member 30A,
30B de retenue du matériel médical dans l'espace intérieur 12 et éventuellement un organe de maintien 32A, 32B disposé au-dessus de la gouttière 20 (représenté en pointillés sur la figure 1 ). 30B retaining the medical equipment in the inner space 12 and optionally a holding member 32A, 32B disposed above the channel 20 (shown in dashed lines in Figure 1).
Comme illustré par la figure 1 , la gouttière 20 est formée par un demi-tube 34 débouchant transversalement vers le haut par rapport à un axe longitudinal du dispositif 14.  As illustrated by FIG. 1, the channel 20 is formed by a half-tube 34 opening transversely upwards with respect to a longitudinal axis of the device 14.
Le demi-tube 34 présente ainsi une section transversale concave ouverte vers le haut. Cette section transversale est par exemple en forme de U ou de V.  The half-tube 34 thus has a concave cross section open upwards. This cross section is for example U-shaped or V-shaped.
La gouttière 20 est déformable longitudinalement et transversalement dans au moins deux plans, avantageusement suivant trois axes.  The channel 20 is deformable longitudinally and transversely in at least two planes, advantageously along three axes.
Ainsi, la gouttière 20 est manipulable manuellement pour passer d'une configuration de longueur minimale à une configuration de longueur maximale. De plus, la courbure locale de la gouttière 20 peut être modifiée entre des configurations linéaires (voir par exemple figure 12), et une pluralité de configurations courbées (voir par exemple figures 1 , 1 1 et 13), en fonction des contraintes d'utilisation du matériel 12. Cette déformabilité de la gouttière 20 est assurée sans déformation plastique significative. Elle permet d'obtenir une pluralité de configurations stables de la gouttière 20, avantageusement sans rappel élastique vers une autre configuration. Thus, the channel 20 is manually manipulable to go from a configuration of minimum length to a configuration of maximum length. In addition, the local curvature of the channel 20 can be modified between linear configurations (see for example Figure 12), and a plurality of curved configurations (see for example Figures 1, 1 1 and 13), depending on the constraints of use of equipment 12. This deformability of the gutter 20 is ensured without significant plastic deformation. It makes it possible to obtain a plurality of stable configurations of the gutter 20, advantageously without elastic return to another configuration.
Pour assurer la déformabilité de la gouttière 20, le demi-tube 34 comporte, dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, une pluralité de plis transversaux 36 s'étendant suivant une section transversale perpendiculaire à un axe longitudinal local de la gouttière 20.  To ensure the deformability of the gutter 20, the half-tube 34 comprises, in an advantageous embodiment, a plurality of transverse folds 36 extending in a cross section perpendicular to a local longitudinal axis of the gutter 20.
Le demi-tube 34 présente ainsi une structure en accordéon, qui peut être pliée et contractée pour réduire sa longueur, ou au contraire dépliée et déployée pour augmenter la longueur et/ou modifier sa courbure.  The half-tube 34 thus has an accordion structure, which can be folded and contracted to reduce its length, or otherwise unfolded and deployed to increase the length and / or change its curvature.
La longueur minimale de la gouttière 20 est par exemple inférieure à 80 % de sa longueur maximale. La longueur minimale de la gouttière est par exemple comprise entre 15 cm et 50 cm et sa longueur maximale est par exemple comprise entre 200 cm et 300cm.  The minimum length of the channel 20 is for example less than 80% of its maximum length. The minimum length of the gutter is for example between 15 cm and 50 cm and its maximum length is for example between 200 cm and 300 cm.
Avantageusement, la largeur de la gouttière 20, prise perpendiculairement à un axe longitudinal de la gouttière 20 est comprise entre 5 cm et 15 cm. La distance séparant deux plis transversaux 36 consécutifs est comprise entre 2 mm et 30 mm.  Advantageously, the width of the channel 20, taken perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the channel 20 is between 5 cm and 15 cm. The distance separating two consecutive transverse folds 36 is between 2 mm and 30 mm.
La gouttière 20 est étanche aux liquides. A cet effet, la paroi formant le demi-tube 34 est apte à retenir un liquide dans l'espace intérieur 22.  Gutter 20 is liquid tight. For this purpose, the wall forming the half-tube 34 is able to retain a liquid in the interior space 22.
Avantageusement, le demi-tube 34 formant la gouttière 20 est formé de matière plastique, telle qu'un polyoléfine, notamment du polypropylène, ou de PVC. En variante, le demi-tube 34 est formé d'un tissu muni d'un revêtement d'étanchéité.  Advantageously, the half-tube 34 forming the channel 20 is formed of plastic, such as a polyolefin, especially polypropylene, or PVC. Alternatively, the half-tube 34 is formed of a fabric provided with a sealing coating.
L'espace intérieur 22 est délimité latéralement et vers le bas par la gouttière 20 et/ou localement par les supports de gouttière 24A à 24E.  The interior space 22 is delimited laterally and downwards by the trough 20 and / or locally by the gutter supports 24A to 24E.
L'espace intérieur 22 débouche vers le haut, avantageusement sur toute la longueur de la gouttière 20, pour permettre l'introduction et le retrait de matériel médical 12 dans l'espace intérieur 22.  The interior space 22 opens upwards, advantageously over the entire length of the channel 20, to allow the introduction and removal of medical equipment 12 in the interior space 22.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 , l'espace intérieur 22 s'étend continûment sur toute la longueur du dispositif 14. Il est obturé transversalement aux extrémités du dispositif 14 par la paroi proximale 26 et par la paroi distale 28.  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the internal space 22 extends continuously over the entire length of the device 14. It is closed transversely at the ends of the device 14 by the proximal wall 26 and by the distal wall 28.
Les dimensions de la gouttière 20 et de l'espace intérieur 22 permettent donc de loger différents matériels médicaux en fonction des dimensions du matériel.  The dimensions of the gutter 20 and the interior space 22 therefore allow to accommodate different medical devices depending on the dimensions of the equipment.
Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1 , le dispositif de support 14 comporte un support proximal 24A solidaire d'une extrémité proximale de la gouttière 20, un support distal 24E solidaire d'une extrémité distale de la gouttière 20 et au moins un support intermédiaire 24B à 24D engagé sous la gouttière 20 entre le support proximal 24A et le support distal 24E. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the support device 14 comprises a proximal support 24A secured to a proximal end of the trough 20, a distal support 24E integral with a distal end of the trough 20 and at least one support intermediate 24B to 24D engaged under the channel 20 between the proximal support 24A and the distal support 24E.
Les supports 24A à 24E sont espacés longitudinalement les uns des autres. Ils délimitent entre eux des tronçons libres 35 de la gouttière 20.  The supports 24A to 24E are spaced longitudinally from each other. They delimit between them free sections 35 of the gutter 20.
Comme illustré par les figures 2 et 3, chaque support de gouttière 24A à 24E comporte un socle 40 d'appui sur une surface de support destinée à porter le dispositif 14, et un étrier 42 faisant saillie par rapport au socle 40 pour être engagé sur la gouttière 20.  As illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3, each gutter support 24A to 24E comprises a support base 40 on a support surface intended to carry the device 14, and a stirrup 42 projecting from the base 40 to be engaged on the gutter 20.
Chaque support 24A à 24E est réalisé en un matériau plus rigide que la gouttière Each support 24A to 24E is made of a more rigid material than the gutter
20. 20.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, le socle 40 et l'étrier 42 sont venus de matière. En variante, ils sont réalisés par un assemblage de pièces.  In the example shown in Figures 2 and 3, the base 40 and the bracket 42 are made of material. Alternatively, they are made by an assembly of parts.
Comme l'illustre la figure 2, le socle 40 présente avantageusement une surface inférieure 43 plane. Il est par exemple formé par une plaque de support destinée à s'appuyer sur un panneau plan.  As illustrated in Figure 2, the base 40 advantageously has a flat bottom surface 43. It is for example formed by a support plate intended to rest on a flat panel.
La surface inférieure 43 est avantageusement munie de moyens d'accrochage 44 libérables sur la surface de support destinée à porter le dispositif 14. Les moyens d'accrochage 44 sont par exemple formés par un adhésif, un élément ferromagnétique tel qu'un aimant, un dispositif d'encliquetage ou/et une bande d'accrochage telle qu'un velcro.  The lower surface 43 is advantageously provided with releasable attachment means 44 on the support surface intended to carry the device 14. The attachment means 44 are for example formed by an adhesive, a ferromagnetic element such as a magnet, a snap-in device and / or an attachment band such as a velcro.
Ainsi, chaque support de gouttière 24A à 24E est propre à être immobilisé localement sur la surface de support par les moyens d'accrochage 44 pour maintenir la gouttière 20 dans une conformation donnée.  Thus, each gutter support 24A to 24E is adapted to be immobilized locally on the support surface by the attachment means 44 to maintain the gutter 20 in a given conformation.
L'étrier 42 présente une forme convexe et une section transversale analogue à celle de la gouttière 20.  The stirrup 42 has a convex shape and a cross section similar to that of the channel 20.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 , les supports 24A à 24E situés aux extrémités de la gouttière 20 sont fixés de manière étanche sur la gouttière 20. Chaque support 24A, 24E délimite une cavité interne 46 formant une partie longitudinale de l'espace intérieur 22.  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the supports 24A to 24E located at the ends of the gutter 20 are sealingly attached to the gutter 20. Each support 24A, 24E delimits an internal cavity 46 forming a longitudinal part of the space inside 22.
Avantageusement, un bord transversal d'extrémité de la gouttière 20 est fixé sur un bord transversal d'extrémité de l'étrier 42 au niveau de chaque support 24A, 24E d'extrémité.  Advantageously, a transverse end edge of the channel 20 is fixed on a transverse end edge of the yoke 42 at each end support 24A, 24E.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 , au moins un support intermédiaire 24B à 24D, avantageusement tous les supports intermédiaires 24B à 24D sont amovibles par rapport à la gouttière 20. Ils sont ainsi aptes à être montés et démontés de manière réversible et manuellement par un utilisateur, sans utilisation d'un outil de montage. Dans cet exemple, chaque support intermédiaire 24B à 24D reçoit, dans la cavité intérieure 46, un tronçon de la gouttière 20, sur toute la longueur du support 24B à 24D. L'étrier 42 est ainsi engagé autour de la surface extérieure du demi-tube 34, à l'extérieur de l'espace intérieur 22. In the example shown in FIG. 1, at least one intermediate support 24B to 24D, advantageously all the intermediate supports 24B to 24D are removable relative to the gutter 20. They are thus able to be assembled and disassembled reversibly and manually by a user, without the use of an editing tool. In this example, each intermediate support 24B to 24D receives, in the inner cavity 46, a portion of the channel 20, over the entire length of the support 24B to 24D. The stirrup 42 is thus engaged around the outer surface of the half-tube 34, outside the internal space 22.
En variante, dans le dispositif 1 14 représenté sur les figures 9 et 10, au moins un étrier intermédiaire 24B à 24D, avantageusement tous les étriers intermédiaires 24B à 24D sont interposés entre deux tronçons 35 successifs, de sorte que leur cavité interne 46 délimite une partie de l'espace intérieur 22.  Alternatively, in the device 1 14 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, at least one intermediate stirrup 24B to 24D, advantageously all the intermediate stirrups 24B to 24D are interposed between two successive sections 35, so that their internal cavity 46 delimits a part of the interior space 22.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la paroi proximale 26 et la paroi distale 28 sont solidaires respectivement du support proximal 24A et du support distal 24E. Chaque paroi 26, 28 s'étend transversalement dans la cavité 46 définie par le support 24A à 24E pour obturer transversalement l'espace intérieur 22.  In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, the proximal wall 26 and the distal wall 28 are secured respectively to the proximal support 24A and the distal support 24E. Each wall 26, 28 extends transversely in the cavity 46 defined by the support 24A to 24E to seal transversely the interior space 22.
La hauteur de chaque paroi 26, 28 est avantageusement inférieure à la hauteur de l'étrier 42.  The height of each wall 26, 28 is advantageously less than the height of the stirrup 42.
Ainsi, le matériel médical 12 et l'ensemble 16 d'humidification et de lubrification peuvent être retenus de manière étanche dans le fond de l'espace intérieur 22.  Thus, the medical equipment 12 and the humidification and lubrication assembly 16 can be held tightly in the bottom of the interior space 22.
Comme illustré par la figure 1 , le dispositif 14 comprend au moins un organe de retenue 30A, 30B du matériel médical, avantageusement une pluralité d'organes de retenue 30A, 30B.  As illustrated in Figure 1, the device 14 comprises at least one retaining member 30A, 30B of medical equipment, preferably a plurality of retaining members 30A, 30B.
Dans cet exemple, chaque organe de retenue 30A, 30B est formé par un cavalier In this example, each retaining member 30A, 30B is formed by a rider
50 engagé sur l'une de la paroi proximale 26 et de la paroi distale 28. 50 engaged on one of the proximal wall 26 and the distal wall 28.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 5, le cavalier 50 comporte une paroi transversale 56 définissant au moins une encoche 52, avantageusement une pluralité d'encoches 52, délimitant un logement de réception et d'enserrement d'un matériel médical 12.  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the jumper 50 comprises a transverse wall 56 defining at least one notch 52, advantageously a plurality of notches 52, delimiting a receptacle for receiving and clasping medical equipment 12.
Dans l'exemple illustré par la figure 5, chaque encoche 52 présente une étendue transversale décroissante de haut en bas. Ainsi, quelle que soit la taille du matériel médical 12 introduit dans l'encoche 52, à une hauteur donnée, le matériel médical est susceptible d'être enserré entre les bords de l'encoche 52 pour assurer une retenue axiale.  In the example illustrated in Figure 5, each notch 52 has a transverse extent decreasing from top to bottom. Thus, regardless of the size of the medical equipment 12 introduced into the notch 52, at a given height, the medical equipment is likely to be sandwiched between the edges of the notch 52 to ensure axial retention.
En variante, comme illustré par la figure 6, au moins une encoche 52 présente une pluralité de logements 54A, 54B, 54C successifs de dimension transversale décroissante. Les logements 54A, 54B, 54C sont séparés par des étranglements 56 de retenue du matériel 12 interposés entre chaque paire de logements 54A à 54C adjacents le long de l'encoche 52. En fonction de son étendue transversale, le matériel médical 12 est introduit sélectivement dans un des logements 54A à 54C et est retenu par l'étranglement supérieur 56 situé au-dessus de ce logement 54A à 54C. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 6, at least one notch 52 has a plurality of successive housing 54A, 54B, 54C of decreasing transverse dimension. The housings 54A, 54B, 54C are separated by constrictions 56 for retaining the material 12 interposed between each pair of adjacent housings 54A-54C along the notch 52. Depending on its transverse extent, the medical equipment 12 is selectively introduced into one of the housings 54A to 54C and is retained by the upper throat 56 located above the housing 54A to 54C.
Dans une variante représentée sur la figure 8, l'organe de retenue 30A, 30B est formé directement dans une paroi transversale 56 solidaire d'un support 24A à 24D. Il est par exemple formé dans l'une et/ou l'autre de la paroi proximale 26 et de la paroi distale 28. Les encoches 52 sont alors ménagées directement à travers la paroi 56.  In a variant shown in Figure 8, the retaining member 30A, 30B is formed directly in a transverse wall 56 secured to a support 24A to 24D. It is for example formed in one and / or the other of the proximal wall 26 and the distal wall 28. The notches 52 are then formed directly through the wall 56.
Dans une autre variante représentée sur la figure 7, l'organe de retenue 30A, 30B est formé par un organe élastique 57, par exemple filiforme et notamment replié en boucle. Cet organe élastique 57 présente ici une forme de gamma.  In another variant shown in Figure 7, the retaining member 30A, 30B is formed by an elastic member 57, for example filamentary and in particular folded loop. This elastic member 57 here has a gamma shape.
Le matériel médical 12 est ainsi propre à être reçu et enserré entre deux tronçons 58 de l'organe élastique 57.  The medical equipment 12 is thus adapted to be received and clamped between two sections 58 of the elastic member 57.
L'organe élastique 57 est par ailleurs fixé transversalement à ses extrémités 60 sur un support 24A, 24E.  The elastic member 57 is also fixed transversely at its ends 60 on a support 24A, 24E.
Chaque organe de retenue 30A, 30B est ainsi apte à immobiliser longitudinalement au moins un matériel médical 12 pour le bloquer longitudinalement lorsque le matériel médical 12 est engagé dans l'organe de retenue 30A, 30B.  Each retaining member 30A, 30B is thus able to immobilize longitudinally at least one medical device 12 to lock it longitudinally when the medical equipment 12 is engaged in the retaining member 30A, 30B.
L'organe de retenue 30A, 30B est également apte à libérer le matériel médical 12 lorsque celui-ci doit être extrait hors du volume intérieur 22, par exemple en vue de son introduction dans le corps d'un patient.  The retaining member 30A, 30B is also able to release the medical equipment 12 when it has to be extracted from the internal volume 22, for example for introduction into the body of a patient.
L'organe de maintien 32A, 32B est destiné à couvrir au moins partiellement l'espace intérieur 22 au dessus de la gouttière 20 pour empêcher la sortie intempestive du matériel médical 12.  The holding member 32A, 32B is intended to at least partially cover the inner space 22 above the channel 20 to prevent the untimely exit of medical equipment 12.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 , le dispositif 14 comporte une pluralité d'organes de maintien 32A, 32B espacés le long de la gouttière 20.  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the device 14 comprises a plurality of holding members 32A, 32B spaced along the channel 20.
Chaque organe de maintien 32A, 32B est par exemple formé par une sangle présentant une extrémité fixée sur un premier bord latéral de la gouttière 20 et une extrémité libre propre à être fixée sur un deuxième bord latéral opposé de la gouttière 20 pour chevaucher l'espace intérieur 22.  Each holding member 32A, 32B is for example formed by a strap having an end fixed to a first lateral edge of the channel 20 and a clean free end to be fixed on a second opposite side edge of the channel 20 to ride the space inside 22.
L'ensemble 16 d'humidification et/ou de lubrification est par exemple formé par un liquide 70, tel que de l'eau ou un sérum physiologique. En variante, l'ensemble 14 comporte un matériau spongieux (non représenté) retenant le liquide 70 dans le fond de l'espace intérieur 22. Le matériau spongieux est par exemple une compresse ou une éponge.  The humidification and / or lubrication assembly 16 is for example formed by a liquid 70, such as water or a saline solution. Alternatively, the assembly 14 comprises a spongy material (not shown) retaining the liquid 70 in the bottom of the interior space 22. The spongy material is for example a compress or a sponge.
Le matériel médical 12 est ainsi apte à être maintenu dans le liquide 70 ou au contact de celui-ci au moins. La gouttière 20 et le dispositif 14 sont déployables entre au moins une configuration contractée et une pluralité de configurations déployées stables. The medical equipment 12 is thus able to be maintained in the liquid 70 or in contact with it at least. Gutter 20 and device 14 are deployable between at least one contracted configuration and a plurality of stable deployed configurations.
Dans la configuration contractée, la gouttière 20 est repliée et contractée pour rapprocher le support proximal 24A du support distal 24E. La longueur de la gouttière 20 est alors minimale.  In the contracted configuration, the groove 20 is folded and contracted to bring the proximal support 24A of the distal support 24E. The length of the gutter 20 is then minimal.
Les supports intermédiaires 24B à 24D sont rapprochés les uns des autres et sont disposés entre des tronçons libres 35 contractés de la gouttière 20.  Intermediate supports 24B to 24D are brought closer together and are arranged between contracted free sections 35 of gutter 20.
La longueur du dispositif 14 est alors minimale. Le dispositif 14 peut être stocké par exemple dans un emballage 70 tel qu'une boîte.  The length of the device 14 is then minimal. The device 14 can be stored for example in a package 70 such as a box.
Dans chaque configuration déployée, les supports d'extrémité 24A, 24E ont été éloignés l'un de l'autre. La longueur de la gouttière 20 et du dispositif 14 a été augmentée.  In each deployed configuration, the end supports 24A, 24E have been moved away from each other. The length of the gutter 20 and the device 14 has been increased.
En référence aux figures 1 1 à 14, le dispositif 14 est apte à occuper au moins une configuration déployée linéaire stable, telle qu'illustrée par la figure 12, ou des configurations déployées gauches ou droites présentant des coudes, telles que représentées sur les figures 1 , 1 1 , 13 et 14.  With reference to FIGS. 1 to 14, the device 14 is able to occupy at least one stable linear deployed configuration, as illustrated by FIG. 12, or left or right deployed configurations having elbows, as shown in FIGS. 1, 1 1, 13 and 14.
Ceci permet de s'adapter à des formes variées de matériel médical 12, et à des configurations diverses en fonction de la ou des voies d'implantation.  This makes it possible to adapt to various forms of medical equipment 12, and to various configurations depending on the implantation path (s).
Un procédé de préparation d'un matériel médical 12 utilisant le dispositif 14 selon l'invention va maintenant être décrit.  A method of preparing a medical device 12 using the device 14 according to the invention will now be described.
Initialement, le dispositif 14 est fourni. Lorsqu'au moins un des supports 24B à 24D est amovible, l'utilisateur extrait le dispositif 14 de son emballage 70, et déploie au moins partiellement la gouttière 20 dans la configuration souhaitée.  Initially, device 14 is provided. When at least one of the supports 24B to 24D is removable, the user extracts the device 14 from its package 70, and at least partially deploys the gutter 20 in the desired configuration.
Il engage ensuite chaque support intermédiaire 24B à 24D sous la gouttière 20 en les écartant les uns des autres le long de la gouttière 20. Ceci assure un maintien stable de la gouttière 20 dans la configuration choisie. Avantageusement, l'utilisateur fixe les socles 40 contre la surface de support portant le dispositif 14 par l'intermédiaire des moyens de fixation 44.  It then engages each intermediate support 24B to 24D under the channel 20 by separating them from each other along the channel 20. This ensures a stable hold of the channel 20 in the chosen configuration. Advantageously, the user fixes the bases 40 against the support surface carrying the device 14 by means of the fixing means 44.
Puis, l'utilisateur introduit l'ensemble 16 d'humidification et/ou de lubrification dans le support 22, soit en versant du liquide 70, soit en introduisant un matériau spongieux noyé de liquide 70.  Then, the user introduces the humidification and / or lubrication assembly 16 into the support 22, either by pouring liquid 70 or by introducing a spongy material embedded with liquid 70.
Il dispose alors le matériel médical 12 dans l'espace intérieur 22. Avantageusement, le matériel médical 12 est immobilisé axialement dans au moins un des organes de retenue 30A, 30B, par exemple par engagement dans une encoche 52 ou dans un organe élastique 57.  He then disposes the medical equipment 12 in the internal space 22. Advantageously, the medical equipment 12 is immobilized axially in at least one of the retaining members 30A, 30B, for example by engagement in a notch 52 or in an elastic member 57.
Le matériel médical 12 est donc préparé et conditionné en vue de son implantation dans le patient par le praticien. Une fois le matériel médical 12 préparé, un procédé d'implantation du matériel peut être conduit. A cet effet, le praticien extrait au moins une partie distale du matériel médical 12 hors de l'espace intérieur 22 et l'introduit dans le patient. Medical equipment 12 is prepared and packaged for implantation in the patient by the practitioner. Once the medical equipment 12 has been prepared, a method of implanting the equipment can be conducted. For this purpose, the practitioner extracts at least a distal portion of the medical equipment 12 from the inner space 22 and introduces it into the patient.
La partie proximale du matériel 12 qui n'est pas introduite dans le patient reste cependant logée dans l'espace intérieur 22 du dispositif de support 14, au contact de l'ensemble d'humidification et/ou de lubrification 16. Ceci limite le risque de contamination microbienne ou de fautes d'asepsie et maintient le matériel médical 12 dans des bonnes conditions opérationnelles en vue de son implantation.  The proximal portion of the material 12 that is not introduced into the patient remains, however, housed in the interior space 22 of the support device 14, in contact with the humidification and / or lubrication assembly 16. This limits the risk microbial contamination or aseptic faults and maintains the medical equipment 12 in good operating conditions for its implementation.
La présence des supports rigides 24A à 24E, avantageusement fixés sur une surface de support du dispositif 14, garantit que le matériel médical 12 conserve une conformation adéquate lors de son utilisation.  The presence of the rigid supports 24A to 24E, advantageously fixed on a support surface of the device 14, ensures that the medical equipment 12 retains an adequate conformation during its use.
Compte tenu de la déformabilité aisé de la gouttière 20, le dispositif 14 peut s'adapter à différentes conformations d'utilisations, tel que représenté sur les figures 1 1 à 14.  Given the easy deformability of the channel 20, the device 14 can adapt to different configurations of uses, as shown in Figures 1 1 to 14.
Ainsi, dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 1 1 , le dispositif 14 est disposé partiellement sur une surface de support définie par une table d'opération 80 et partiellement par une table auxiliaire 82 adjacente à la table d'opération 80.  Thus, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the device 14 is partially disposed on a support surface defined by an operating table 80 and partly by an auxiliary table 82 adjacent to the operating table 80.
Le dispositif 14 est placé dans une configuration comprenant un tronçon linéaire distal 84 perpendiculaire ou incliné par rapport à l'axe longitudinal A-A' du patient sur la table d'opération 80, et un tronçon proximal 86 sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal A-A' du patient, les deux tronçons 84 et 86 étant séparés par un tronçon coudé 88.  The device 14 is placed in a configuration comprising a distal linear section 84 perpendicular or inclined relative to the longitudinal axis AA 'of the patient on the operating table 80, and a proximal section 86 substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis AA' of the patient, the two sections 84 and 86 being separated by a bent section 88.
Une telle conformation du dispositif 14 autorise par exemple l'introduction par un opérateur unique 92 d'un matériel médical 12 dans un patient 90 par voie fémorale rétrograde.  Such a conformation of the device 14 allows for example the introduction by a single operator 92 of medical equipment 12 in a patient 90 by retrograde femoral pathway.
Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 12, un premier dispositif de support 14 est placé dans une conformation linéaire, sensiblement parallèle à l'axe A-A' du patient sur la table d'opération 80 en étant partiellement inséré entre les jambes du patient. Un deuxième dispositif de support 14 est disposé linéairement dans le prolongement axial du premier dispositif 14 sur une table auxiliaire 82 disposée dans le prolongement axial de la table d'opération 80.  In the variant shown in Figure 12, a first support device 14 is placed in a linear conformation, substantially parallel to the axis A-A 'of the patient on the operating table 80 being partially inserted between the legs of the patient. A second support device 14 is arranged linearly in the axial extension of the first device 14 on an auxiliary table 82 disposed in the axial extension of the operating table 80.
Le matériel médical 12 peut ainsi être manipulé par un deuxième opérateur 92 situé en regard de la table auxiliaire 82, avant d'être introduit dans le dispositif 14 situé sur la table d'opération 80 pour être manipulé par le praticien 90.  The medical equipment 12 can thus be manipulated by a second operator 92 located opposite the auxiliary table 82, before being introduced into the device 14 located on the operating table 80 to be manipulated by the practitioner 90.
Une telle conformation est donc adaptée pour introduire le matériel médical 12 par voie fémorale rétrograde à l'aide de deux opérateurs. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 13, le dispositif 14 comprend un tronçon proximal 84 placé sur une table auxiliaire 82 disposée sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à un axe longitudinal A-A' du patient sur la table d'opération 80. Such a conformation is therefore adapted to introduce medical equipment 12 by retrograde femoral way with the aid of two operators. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the device 14 comprises a proximal section 84 placed on an auxiliary table 82 disposed substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis AA 'of the patient on the operating table 80.
La table auxiliaire 82 est placée approximativement entre un membre supérieur et un membre inférieur du patient.  The auxiliary table 82 is placed approximately between an upper limb and a lower limb of the patient.
Le tronçon proximal 86 est placé parallèlement à l'axe A-A' du patient. Le dispositif 14 présente ainsi un tronçon coudé 88 entre le tronçon distal 84 et le tronçon proximal 86. Le dispositif 14 est alors particulièrement adapté pour une introduction par voie fémorale antérograde du matériel médical 12 dans le patient 90.  The proximal section 86 is placed parallel to the axis A-A 'of the patient. The device 14 thus has an elbow section 88 between the distal section 84 and the proximal section 86. The device 14 is then particularly suitable for anterograde femoral introduction of the medical device 12 into the patient 90.
Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 14, au moins un dispositif de support 14 est disposé de manière linéaire sur une table auxiliaire 82, perpendiculairement à un axe longitudinal A-A' du patient, et au moins un dispositif de support 14 est disposé sur la table de support 80 avec un tronçon proximal 84 dans l'axe du patient et un tronçon distal 86 sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du patient.  In the variant shown in FIG. 14, at least one support device 14 is linearly arranged on an auxiliary table 82, perpendicular to a longitudinal axis AA 'of the patient, and at least one support device 14 is arranged on the table support 80 with a proximal section 84 in the axis of the patient and a distal section 86 substantially perpendicular to the axis of the patient.
Ce dispositif est adapté pour une introduction par une voie du membre supérieur. This device is adapted for introduction by a way of the upper limb.
Un deuxième dispositif 1 14 selon l'invention est illustré par la figure 10. A la différence du premier dispositif 14 représenté sur la figure 1 , les supports 24A à 24E sont tous solidaires de la gouttière 20. Leurs cavités 46 délimitent chacune une partie de l'espace intérieur 22. A second device 1 14 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 10. Unlike the first device 14 represented in FIG. 1, the supports 24A to 24E are all integral with the channel 20. Their cavities 46 each delimit a portion of the interior space 22.
Ainsi, chaque support 24A, 24E est raccordé à un autre support 24A à 24E par un tronçon 1 16 de la gouttière 20, la gouttière 20 s'interrompant entre ses différents tronçons 1 16.  Thus, each support 24A, 24E is connected to another support 24A to 24E by a section 1 16 of the channel 20, the channel 20 interrupting between its different sections 1 16.
Chaque support intermédiaire 24B à 24D est avantageusement muni d'une paroi transversale 56 pouvant supporter un organe de retenue 30A, 30B, ou formant un organe de retenue 30A, 30B.  Each intermediate support 24B to 24D is advantageously provided with a transverse wall 56 capable of supporting a retaining member 30A, 30B, or forming a retaining member 30A, 30B.
Le fonctionnement du deuxième dispositif 1 14 est par ailleurs analogue à celui du premier dispositif 14.  The operation of the second device 1 14 is moreover analogous to that of the first device 14.
Dans une autre variante non représentée, la paroi proximale 26 et la paroi distale 28 sont formées directement dans la gouttière 20. Les supports 24A, 24B reçoivent alors dans leur cavité interne 46 l'extrémité de la gouttière 20, munie de la paroi proximale 26 et de la paroi distale 28.  In another variant not shown, the proximal wall 26 and the distal wall 28 are formed directly in the groove 20. The supports 24A, 24B then receive in their internal cavity 46 the end of the channel 20, provided with the proximal wall 26 and the distal wall 28.
Le dispositif selon l'invention 14, 1 14 permet donc de conditionner un matériel médical 12 dans une salle d'opération, en maintenant ce matériel médical 12 dans une conformation spatiale choisie, tout en préservant l'asepsie et en maintenant les propriétés d'utilisations du matériel. Le dispositif 14, 1 14 selon l'invention est particulièrement simple à utiliser et s'adapte facilement à différentes techniques d'introduction de matériel médical dans un patient ou/et à différents types de matériel 12. The device according to the invention 14, 1 14 thus makes it possible to package a medical device 12 in an operating room, by keeping this medical device 12 in a chosen spatial conformation, while preserving the asepsis and maintaining the properties of the device. uses of the equipment. The device 14, 1 14 according to the invention is particularly simple to use and adapts easily to different techniques for introducing medical equipment into a patient and / or to different types of equipment 12.
