經濟部中央標準局貞工消費合作社印褽 433999 - 五、發明说明(1 ) I. 發明之範圍 概括言之,本發明係關於用以施加外科縫合器如釘針、 夾及類似物之用具,以在取除病组織及/或縫合及分開各單 獨血管後,達成合併及閉合邊缘目的。具體言之,本發明 係關於定置缝墼材料件於一外科縫合器施加裝置上,達成 產生強化之之外科缝合器缝合線痕之目的,以防止以後外 科手術位置之组織撕裂、身體流體逸出及外物進入手術位 置。 II. 以往技藝之説明 長期以來,由於易使用、改良之灌注特性及較傳統手縫 合技術加強之療合作用,外科縫合器施加裝置已普遍盛 行。概括言之,此等外科縫合器施加裝置包括具有相對工 作表面之一對夹頭,相對工作表面能選擇性會合並壓縮在 一長度之身體組織上,故當引動時,裝置將迫使一或多個 外科縫合器穿過人體組織而形成一外科缝合器缝合線痕。 本説明中使用之"外科缝合器缝合線痕”一詞並非指使用腸 線或類似物之線,係指使用外科縫合器如扣釘、夾及類似 物沿一線連接身體組織之二表面或邊緣在一起。爲形成外 科縫合器縫合線痕,一夾頭設有其中有成至少少二橫向間 隔分開排之外科縫合器之一縫合器匣,同時另一夹頭元件 設有一砧,砧具有對準匣中各痛外科缝合器之閉合缝合器 之凹陷處及/或互鎖留置元件。使:用外科缝合器施加裝置之 一例爲肺部縮減外科手術,其中使用外科縫合器施加裝置 將成多個交錯排之緊密間隔外科縫合器在健康與病組織間 -4 - 本紙張尺度通用中國國家梯準(CNS ) A4規格(2iOX297公釐) --------裝--------- {請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 4 3 39 9 9 a? B7 五、發明説明(2 ) 邊緣放置於一段肺部组織《然後可沿最外排之外科缝合器 切除患病之肺部份或各排外科缝合器之間分開组織。 以往技藝之外科缝合器施加裝置採用各種開啓及閉合機 構,藉之可將缝合器匣與砧匣置入環繞相關身體组織之位 置。例如’ Green之美國專利4,354,628及Foslien等人之美國 專利5,141,144揭示具有可樞動式相關聯之史頭元件之外科 縫合器施加裝置’夹頭元件延伸於就一連接銷互相分開而 接納相關身體組織於其間之開啓狀態與閉合狀態之間,在 閉合狀態,夾頭元件互相平行而與相關身體组織成壓縮關 係。另一種盛行之開啓與閉合機構揭示於Green之美國專利 4,568,009及4,508,253。此等專利中,各單獨夾頭元件隨時 保持互相平行,並設有一引動器,用以直線式平移夾頭元 件相向及分離而分別閉合及開啓外科縫合器施加裝置。外 科缝合器施加裝置可設計成順序施加外科縫合器而逐漸形 成外科縫合器縫合線痕,或同時施加全部外科縫合器,藉 半獨一次引動外科縫合器施加裝置而形成外科缝合器缝合 線痕。 經濟部中央標準局負工消费合作社印裝 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 以往技藝之外科缝合器施加裝置亦可採用範g廣大之設 s十與組成之不同外科缝合器。例如,外科縫合器可爲傳统 式扣針之形式及/或一件式互鎖縫合器,尽才用金屬及/或 非金屬樹脂材料製成。Greent羞國專利4,52〇,8丨7揭示使用 傳統式扣釘’扣釘腿部被驅入穿.過組織,及被設製在站之 凹陷處壓擠而彎曲腿部,因而固定扣釘於組織中。一種二 件式外科缝合器揭示於Green等人之美國專利5156,614,包 -5- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家#準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐> 經濟部中央標準局貝工消费合作社印製 4 3 3999 · a?
