Description

本発明は、内視鏡の処置具案内管路内に通して使用される内視鏡用高周波切開具に関する。  The present invention relates to a high-frequency incision instrument for an endoscope that is used by being passed through a treatment instrument guide line of an endoscope.

内視鏡用高周波切開具としては、使用目的によって各種の形状のものがあるが、例えば粘膜剥離術を行うためのものとしては、シースの先端位置に前方に向かって並列に並んで配置された一対の電極刃を、シースの後端側からの遠隔操作により開閉することができるようにした鋏状の電極を有するものが用いられている(例えば、特許文献1)。
特開2003−299667公報
There are various types of endoscopic high-frequency incisions depending on the purpose of use, but for example, for performing mucosal dissection, they are arranged in parallel at the distal end position of the sheath. A pair of electrode blades having a bowl-like electrode that can be opened and closed by remote operation from the rear end side of the sheath is used (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2003-299667 A

しかし、前記のような従来の内視鏡用高周波切開具は、使用開始時に内視鏡の処置具案内管路から体内に先端を突き出す際に、薄刃状の電極刃の最先端部分を粘膜面を強く押しつけて粘膜面を損傷してしまう場合があり、最悪の場合は穿孔させてしまう恐れがある。
そこで、碗状に形成された生検鉗子カップ状の電極刃を用いればそのような恐れはなくなるが、そのような碗状の電極刃では、高周波切開処置の際に切開が行われる部分の一部がカップの陰になって内視鏡で直視できないので安全性が確保されない。
However, the conventional high-frequency incision tool for endoscopes as described above has a distal end portion of a thin blade-like electrode blade placed on the mucosal surface when the tip is protruded into the body from the treatment instrument guide conduit of the endoscope at the start of use. May be damaged to damage the mucosal surface, and in the worst case, it may cause perforation.
Therefore, if a biopsy forceps cup-shaped electrode blade formed in a saddle shape is used, such a fear is eliminated. However, in such a saddle-shaped electrode blade, one of the parts to be incised during high-frequency incision treatment is provided. Since the part is behind the cup and cannot be directly viewed with an endoscope, safety is not ensured.

また、粘膜をその下の筋層から剥離させる処置を行う際には、電極刃を表面粘膜と筋層との間に差し込んだ状態で高周波電流を通電して切開処置が行われるが、従来の内視鏡用高周波切開具では、電極刃が切開の必要のない箇所にも触れて粘膜や筋層に火傷を作ってしまう場合がある。
また、高周波電流を通電するのに先立って、表面粘膜と筋層との間を機械的に押し開く作業が必要となるが、薄板状の電極刃でそれを行っても電極刃が粘膜に食い込むだけで粘膜と筋層との間を思うように広げることができない場合がある。
Also, when performing a treatment to peel the mucous membrane from the underlying muscle layer, an incision treatment is performed by applying a high-frequency current with the electrode blade inserted between the surface mucosa and the muscle layer. In an endoscopic high-frequency incision tool, there are cases where the electrode blade touches a portion that does not need to be incised and burns the mucous membrane or muscle layer.
In addition, it is necessary to mechanically push between the surface mucous membrane and the muscle layer prior to applying the high-frequency current, but the electrode blade bites into the mucous membrane even if it is performed with a thin plate-shaped electrode blade. It may not be possible to spread as much as you want between the mucous membrane and the muscle layer.

本発明はそのような問題を解決するためになされたものであり、内視鏡の処置具案内管路から体内に先端を突き出す際に粘膜面を損傷することなく安全に突き出すことができ、さらに、粘膜剥離処置の際に粘膜と筋層とを機械的に確実に押し広げて、切開が必要な部位だけを安全に高周波切開することができる内視鏡用高周波切開具を提供することを目的とする。  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and can be safely ejected without damaging the mucosal surface when the tip is projected into the body from the treatment instrument guide conduit of the endoscope. An object of the present invention is to provide a high-frequency incision tool for an endoscope that can securely spread a mucous membrane and a muscular layer mechanically during a mucosal detachment procedure, and can safely perform high-frequency incision only at a site that requires incision And

本発明の内視鏡用高周波切開具は、内視鏡の処置具案内管路に挿脱されるシースと、シースの後端側に連結された操作部と、シースの先端位置に前方に向かって並列に並んで配置されて操作部からの遠隔操作により前方に向かって開閉するように動作する一対の電極刃とが設けられた内視鏡用高周波切開具において、電極刃の最先端部分を側方に突出するようにL状に形成し、かつ突出した部分を電気絶縁部材により被覆することにより、前方から見たときの投影面積が電極刃の先端付近の断面積よりも広い面積となる面状部を形成している。
The high-frequency incision tool for an endoscope according to the present invention has a sheath inserted into and removed from the treatment instrument guide conduit of the endoscope, an operation unit connected to the rear end side of the sheath, and a front end position of the sheath. In an endoscopic high-frequency cutting tool provided with a pair of electrode blades that are arranged side by side and operate so as to open and close by remote control from the operation unit, the most advanced part of the electrode blades The projection area when viewed from the front is wider than the cross-sectional area in the vicinity of the tip of the electrode blade by forming an L shape so as to protrude sideways and covering the protruding portion with an electrical insulating member. A planar portion is formed .

その面状部は、電極刃の最先端部分T状に両側方に突出した形状に形成し、突出した部分を電気絶縁部材により被覆することにより形成されていてもよい。
Its planar portion, electrostatic advanced portion of Gokuha formed in a shape protruding on both sides in a T shape, may be formed by coating an electrically insulating member protruding portions.

本発明の内視鏡用高周波切開具によれば、電極刃の最先端部分を側方に突出するようにL状に形成し、かつ該突出した部分を電気絶縁部材により被覆することにより、前方から見たときの投影面積が前記電極刃の先端付近の断面積よりも広い面積となる面状部を形成したことにより、内視鏡の処置具案内管路から体内に先端を突き出す際に粘膜面を損傷することなく安全に突き出すことができると共に、粘膜剥離処置の際に粘膜と筋層とを機械的に確実に押し広げることができ、さらに、面状部の少なくとも表面部分を電極刃に対して電気的に絶縁することにより、切開が必要な部位だけを安全に高周波切開することができる。



According to the endoscope high frequency incision tool of the present invention, the forefront portion of the electrode blade is formed in an L shape so as to protrude sideways, and the protruding portion is covered with an electrical insulating member, thereby By forming a planar portion whose projected area when viewed from above is larger than the cross-sectional area near the tip of the electrode blade , the mucous membrane is projected when the tip is projected into the body from the treatment instrument guide line of the endoscope. It can be safely ejected without damaging the surface, and the mucosa and muscle layer can be mechanically and reliably spread during the mucosal detachment treatment, and at least the surface portion of the planar portion can be used as an electrode blade. By electrically insulating it, it is possible to safely perform a high-frequency incision only at a site that requires incision.



以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施例を具体的に説明する。
図1は本発明の高周波切開具10が内視鏡1の処置具案内管路2に通されて、高周波切開具10の先端部分が処置具案内管路2から患者の体腔内に突出した状態を示している。その様子は内視鏡1の照明窓3から放射される照明光により照明されて、観察窓4を通して内視鏡観察される。
Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a state in which a high-frequency incision instrument 10 of the present invention is passed through a treatment instrument guide conduit 2 of an endoscope 1 and a distal end portion of the high-frequency incision instrument 10 protrudes from the treatment instrument guide conduit 2 into a body cavity of a patient. Is shown. The state is illuminated by the illumination light emitted from the illumination window 3 of the endoscope 1 and is observed through the observation window 4 by the endoscope.

高周波切開具10の処置具案内管路2に挿脱される部分は、可撓性のシース11に電気絶縁性の可撓性チューブからなる外套管12が被覆された構造であり、その内部に導電性のステンレス鋼線等からなる操作ワイヤーが通されている。そのようなシース11の先端に連結固着された先端支持部材13の先端部分には、導電性金属からなる一対の電極刃14A,14Bが、回転支持軸15を中心に回動することによりペンチや鋏等のように前方に向かって開閉できるように支持され、各電極刃14A,14Bの最先端部分には電気絶縁性の絶縁被覆16が取り付けられている。  The portion of the high-frequency incision instrument 10 to be inserted into and removed from the treatment instrument guide conduit 2 has a structure in which a sheath 12 made of an electrically insulating flexible tube is covered with a flexible sheath 11 and the inside thereof is covered. An operation wire made of a conductive stainless steel wire or the like is passed. A pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B made of a conductive metal are pivoted around the rotation support shaft 15 at the distal end portion of the distal end support member 13 connected and fixed to the distal end of such a sheath 11, so that pliers or It is supported so as to be able to open and close like a scissors or the like, and an electrically insulating insulating coating 16 is attached to the most distal portion of each electrode blade 14A, 14B.

図2は、高周波切開具10の全体構成を示しており、シース11の手元側部分に配置された操作部30には、操作ワイヤー17の後端が接続固定された操作スライダー31が、シース11の後端に連結された操作部本体32に沿ってスライド自在に配置されている。操作スライダー31には、不図示の高周波電源コードを接続するための接続ソケット33が配置されていて、操作ワイヤー17に高周波電流を通電することができる。  FIG. 2 shows the overall configuration of the high-frequency incision tool 10, and an operation slider 31, to which the rear end of the operation wire 17 is connected and fixed, is connected to the operation unit 30 disposed on the proximal side portion of the sheath 11. It is slidably arranged along the operation unit main body 32 connected to the rear end. The operation slider 31 is provided with a connection socket 33 for connecting a high-frequency power cord (not shown) so that a high-frequency current can be passed through the operation wire 17.

外套管12は例えばフッ素樹脂チューブ等により形成されて、シース11に全長にわたって被嵌されているが、単独で軸周りに回転自在であり、外套管12の後端に取り付けられた口金34を操作部本体32に対して矢印Aで示されるように回転させることにより、外套管12を他の部材に対して単独で軸周りに回転させることができる。したがって、高周波切開具10が内視鏡1の処置具案内管路2に通された状態の時に、操作部30を回転させることにより、シース11やその先端に設けられている電極刃14A,14B等を軸周りに自由に回転させることができる。  The outer tube 12 is formed of, for example, a fluororesin tube or the like and is fitted over the entire length of the sheath 11. However, the outer tube 12 is independently rotatable around the axis and operates a base 34 attached to the rear end of the outer tube 12. By rotating the part main body 32 as shown by the arrow A, the outer tube 12 can be rotated around the axis independently with respect to other members. Therefore, when the high-frequency incision instrument 10 is passed through the treatment instrument guide conduit 2 of the endoscope 1, the operating portion 30 is rotated to rotate the sheath 11 and the electrode blades 14A and 14B provided at the distal end thereof. Etc. can be freely rotated around the axis.

図3はそのような高周波切開具10の先端部分の電極刃14A,14Bが閉じた状態の側面断面図、図4は電極刃14A,14Bが開いた状態の側面図、図5は平面部分断面図である。ただし、各断面図は複数の断面位置の図を一つの図面に表示してある。以下、本実施例の高周波切開具10の先端部分の構成を詳細に説明する。
シース11は、例えばステンレス鋼線を密着巻きして形成されていて、自由に屈曲させることができる。ただし、シース11を可撓性チューブ等で形成してもよい。先端支持部材13はステンレス鋼材又はセラミックス材又は耐熱性の高いプラスチック材(PEEKなど)等により形成されていて、その先寄りの部分はスリット18で分断された形状になっている。回転支持軸15は、そのようなスリット18を横断する状態に先端支持部材13に固定されている。
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the electrode blades 14A and 14B at the tip portion of the high-frequency incision tool 10 are closed, FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the electrode blades 14A and 14B are opened, and FIG. FIG. However, each cross-sectional view displays a plurality of cross-sectional views in one drawing. Hereinafter, the structure of the front-end | tip part of the high frequency cutting tool 10 of a present Example is demonstrated in detail.
The sheath 11 is formed by tightly winding a stainless steel wire, for example, and can be freely bent. However, the sheath 11 may be formed of a flexible tube or the like. The tip support member 13 is formed of a stainless steel material, a ceramic material, a plastic material having high heat resistance (such as PEEK), or the like, and a portion near the tip is divided by a slit 18. The rotation support shaft 15 is fixed to the tip support member 13 so as to cross the slit 18.

一対の電極刃14A,14Bはほぼ薄板状に形成されていて、図3に示されるように、閉じた状態では薄い板厚面どうしが向かい合って当接する状態に並列に並ぶように、回転支持軸15の前方で真っ直ぐ前方に向かう状態に配置されている。その当接面には粘膜や血管との係合をよくするために凹凸が形成されているが、凹凸がなくても差し支えない。また、一対の電極刃14A,14Bどうしが閉じた状態で当接せずに、鋏の刃状にすれ違う構成にしても差し支えない。  The pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B are formed in a substantially thin plate shape, and as shown in FIG. 3, in the closed state, the rotation support shafts are arranged in parallel so that the thin plate thickness surfaces face each other and come into contact with each other. It is arrange | positioned in the state which goes straight ahead in 15 front. The contact surface is provided with irregularities in order to improve the engagement with mucous membranes and blood vessels. However, there may be no irregularities. In addition, the pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B may be configured so as to pass each other in the shape of a scissors without contacting each other in a closed state.

各電極刃14A,14Bの後寄りの回転支持軸15より後側の部分は、スリット18内に位置して電極刃14A,14Bを駆動する駆動アーム14a,14bになっており、操作ワイヤー17の先端が二方に分かれて各駆動アーム14a,14bの後端付近に係合している。その結果、操作部30側から操作ワイヤー17を押し込み操作することにより、図4に示されるように一対の電極刃14A,14Bが回転支持軸15を中心に回動して前方に向かってくの字状(又はハの字状)に開いた状態になり、操作部30側で操作ワイヤー17を牽引操作すれば、図3に示されるように一対の電極刃14A,14Bが閉じた状態になる。なお、操作ワイヤー17を介して電極刃14A,14Bに高周波電流を通電することができる。  The portions on the rear side of the rotation support shaft 15 at the rear of each electrode blade 14A, 14B are drive arms 14a, 14b that are located in the slit 18 and drive the electrode blades 14A, 14B. The tip is divided in two directions and is engaged near the rear end of each drive arm 14a, 14b. As a result, when the operation wire 17 is pushed in from the operation unit 30 side, the pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B rotate about the rotation support shaft 15 as shown in FIG. When the operation wire 17 is pulled on the operation unit 30 side, the pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B are closed as shown in FIG. A high frequency current can be applied to the electrode blades 14A and 14B via the operation wire 17.

そのような一対の電極刃14A,14Bはいずれも、図5に示されるように、最先端部分がT状に右と左の両側方に向かって突出した形状に形成されていて、その突出部に電気絶縁性の絶縁被覆16(電気絶縁部材)が被覆されている。絶縁被覆16は、耐熱性の高い例えばフッ素樹脂系のプラスチック材、セラミックス材又はホーロー等により形成することができる。その結果、絶縁被覆16の前端面は、前方から見たときの投影面積が各電極刃14A,14Bの先端付近の断面積より広い(本実施例においては3〜10倍程度の)面積の面状部になっている。なお、「電極刃14A,14Bの先端付近の断面積」とは、電極刃14A,14Bが前方に向いている部分(断面Z−Z)の断面積であり、最先端部分で側方に曲がっている部分の断面積ではない。  As shown in FIG. 5, each of the pair of electrode blades 14A, 14B is formed in a shape in which the most distal portion protrudes in a T shape toward both the right and left sides, and the protrusion Is covered with an electrically insulating insulating coating 16 (electrical insulating member). The insulating coating 16 can be formed of, for example, a fluororesin-based plastic material, ceramic material, enamel or the like having high heat resistance. As a result, the front end surface of the insulating coating 16 has a surface area whose projected area when viewed from the front is wider than the cross-sectional area in the vicinity of the tips of the electrode blades 14A and 14B (about 3 to 10 times in this embodiment). It is a shape part. The “cross-sectional area near the tips of the electrode blades 14A and 14B” is a cross-sectional area of a portion where the electrode blades 14A and 14B face forward (cross-section ZZ), and is bent sideways at the most advanced portion. It is not the cross-sectional area of the part.

したがって、高周波切開具10を内視鏡1の処置具案内管路2から患者の体腔内に勢いよく突出させたような場合であっても、前方から見たときの投影面積の大きな面状部19が粘膜にぶつかるので、その動作で粘膜を傷つける恐れがなく、高周波切開具10の挿入操作を安心して安全に行うことができる。
また、図1に示されるように、粘膜6をその下の筋層から剥がし取る粘膜剥離等を行う際には、まず電極刃14A,14Bを粘膜6と筋層との間に差し込んで開く操作を行うことで、塊状の絶縁被覆16により粘膜6と筋層との間を安全かつ確実に機械的に押し広げることができ、次いで、高周波処置により粘膜6と筋層との間の筋(又は血管等)7を切開(又は凝固)するために電極刃14A,14Bに高周波電流を流すと、粘膜6や下方の筋層が絶縁被覆16で押し退けられて電極刃14A,14Bに触れないので、粘膜6や筋層を火傷させることなく筋(又は血管等)7を切開(又は凝固)することができる。そして、そのような電極刃14A,14Bによる切開部を内視鏡1の観察窓4を通して直視することができ、必要に応じてシース11を軸周りに回転させて電極刃14A,14Bの向きを変え、電極刃14A,14Bを内視鏡観察しやすい状態にすることができる。
Therefore, even when the high-frequency incision instrument 10 is projected from the treatment instrument guide line 2 of the endoscope 1 into the body cavity of the patient, a planar portion having a large projected area when viewed from the front. Since 19 hits the mucous membrane, there is no risk of damaging the mucous membrane by the operation, and the insertion operation of the high-frequency incision tool 10 can be performed safely and safely.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when performing mucosal detachment or the like to peel the mucous membrane 6 from the underlying muscle layer, the electrode blades 14A and 14B are first inserted between the mucosa 6 and the muscle layer and opened. By performing the above, it is possible to mechanically and reliably spread the space between the mucous membrane 6 and the muscle layer by the massive insulating coating 16, and then the muscle (or the muscle between the mucosa 6 and the muscle layer by high frequency treatment (or When a high-frequency current is passed through the electrode blades 14A and 14B to incise (or coagulate) the blood vessel 7), the mucosa 6 and the lower muscle layer are pushed away by the insulating coating 16 and do not touch the electrode blades 14A and 14B. The muscle (or blood vessel or the like) 7 can be incised (or coagulated) without burning the mucous membrane 6 or the muscle layer. And the incision part by such electrode blades 14A and 14B can be directly viewed through the observation window 4 of the endoscope 1, and the sheath 11 is rotated around the axis as necessary to change the direction of the electrode blades 14A and 14B. In other words, the electrode blades 14A and 14B can be easily put into an endoscopic observation state.

図6と図7は、本発明の第2及び第3の実施例の高周波切開具10の先端部分を示しており、各電極刃14A,14Bが先端支持部材13の先端部分の中心軸線の延長線に対して側方に偏位した位置に配置されて、各々の最先端部分がL状に側方に(内方に)曲がった形状に形成されている。このように構成すると電極刃14A,14Bの製造が容易である。  6 and 7 show the distal end portion of the high-frequency incision instrument 10 of the second and third embodiments of the present invention, and each electrode blade 14A, 14B is an extension of the central axis of the distal end portion of the distal end support member 13. FIG. Arranged at positions deviated laterally with respect to the line, each of the most distal portions is formed in a shape that is bent sideways (inward) in an L shape. If comprised in this way, manufacture of electrode blade 14A, 14B is easy.

また、図6の第2の実施例では、絶縁被覆16が電極刃14A,14Bの曲げられた位置より先寄りの部分を囲む状態に取り付けられ、図7の第3の実施例では、絶縁被覆16が電極刃14A,14Bの曲げられた位置より先寄りの部分だけでなくその後方部分まで囲む状態に取り付けられており、このように、絶縁被覆16は電極刃14A,14Bの少なくとも先端付近を囲む状態になっていればよい。  Further, in the second embodiment of FIG. 6, the insulating coating 16 is attached so as to surround a portion closer to the tip than the bent positions of the electrode blades 14A and 14B. In the third embodiment of FIG. 16 is attached so as to surround not only the portion closer to the bent position of the electrode blades 14A and 14B but also the rear portion thereof. Thus, the insulating coating 16 covers at least the vicinity of the tips of the electrode blades 14A and 14B. What is necessary is just to be in the surrounding state.

図8は、本発明の第4の実施例の高周波切開具10の先端部分が内視鏡1の処置具案内管路2から突出されて高周波切開(又は凝固)を行っている状態を示しており、この実施例の一対の電極刃14A,14Bは、側面図である図9、及び図9においてA−Aで切断した断面を示す図10に示されるように、各々碗状に形成された金属製の公知の生検鉗子カップの側半部を切除して、碗の半分ずつがあい対向した形状に形成されている。  FIG. 8 shows a state in which the distal end portion of the high-frequency incision instrument 10 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention protrudes from the treatment instrument guide conduit 2 of the endoscope 1 to perform high-frequency incision (or coagulation). The pair of electrode blades 14A and 14B of this embodiment were each formed in a bowl shape as shown in FIG. 9 which is a side view and FIG. 10 which shows a cross section cut along AA in FIG. A side half portion of a known biopsy forceps cup made of metal is excised and formed so that half of the heels face each other.

このように構成しても、電極刃14A,14Bの最先端部分に、前方から見たときの投影面積が各電極刃14A,14Bの先端付近の断面積より広い面積の面状部19が曲面的に形成されるので、粘膜6を傷めることなく体腔内に突出させたり粘膜6を傷めることなく機械的に押し広げることができ、また電極刃14A,14Bによる切開部が半円部分だけになるので切開される部分を内視鏡1の観察窓4を通して確実に直視しながら高周波切開処置を行うことができる。なお、電極刃14A,14Bの碗状部分の外表面に電気絶縁コーティング等を施してもよい。  Even in this configuration, the planar portion 19 having a larger projected area when viewed from the front than the cross-sectional area in the vicinity of the tip of each electrode blade 14A, 14B is a curved surface at the tip of the electrode blades 14A, 14B. Therefore, the mucous membrane 6 can be protruded into the body cavity without being damaged, or can be mechanically expanded without damaging the mucous membrane 6, and the incision portion by the electrode blades 14A and 14B becomes only a semicircular portion. Therefore, the high-frequency incision treatment can be performed while directly viewing the portion to be incised through the observation window 4 of the endoscope 1 without fail. In addition, you may give an electrical insulation coating etc. to the outer surface of the bowl-shaped part of electrode blade 14A, 14B.

図11〜図13は、本発明の第5の実施例の高周波切開具10を示しており、図11は電極刃14A,14Bが閉じた状態の側面断面図、図12は電極刃14A,14Bが開いた状態の斜視図、図13は、図11のB−Bにおける断面図である。
この実施例の電極刃14A,14Bは、先端部分も含めて図13に示されるような薄い板状に形成されていて、電極刃14A,14B自体には先端部分に面状部19が形成されておらず、電極刃14A,14Bの先端部分から開閉方向の背面部分にわたる外面に、例えばエポキシ系又はシリコン系等のような耐熱性と電気絶縁性のある接着剤116(電気絶縁部材)が盛り付けられていて、滑らかなアール状に丸められたその先端面部分(図13においては、砂目状に図示された部分の裏側にあたる部分)が面状部19になっている。
11 to 13 show a high-frequency cutting tool 10 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a side sectional view of the electrode blades 14A and 14B closed, and FIG. 12 is an electrode blade 14A and 14B. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 11.
The electrode blades 14A and 14B of this embodiment are formed in a thin plate shape as shown in FIG. 13 including the tip portion, and the electrode blades 14A and 14B themselves have a planar portion 19 formed at the tip portion. In addition, an adhesive 116 (electrical insulating member) having heat resistance and electrical insulation, such as epoxy or silicon, is placed on the outer surface extending from the tip of the electrode blades 14A and 14B to the back surface in the opening / closing direction.
