)NVENTOR ENR/CO DORM/A TTORNEY United States Patent INSTRUMENTS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF FOREIGN BODIES Enrico Dormia, 8 Via Poliziano, Milan, Italy Filed Jan. 28, 1958, Ser. No. 711,585
Claims priority, application Italy Jan. 31, 1957 8 Claims. (Cl. 128-328) The present invention has for its object an instrument enabling foreign bodies of any kind which may be located "in passages in the human body or in the bodies of animals to be extracted.
This instrument has a special, although not exclusive, application in the extraction of calculi in the ureters. Hitherto, 'for the purpose of efliecting such extractions by natural methods, instruments have been available the efficiency of which is limited and the frequent lack of success of which makes it necessary to resort to surgical intervention of a certain serious character. The instrument according to the present invention enables this drawback to be disposed of and it enables such extractions to be effected by natural methods-for example, in the case of a ureteral calculus, by working through the bladder.
The instrument according to the invention is characterized by the fact that it comprises a flexible tube containing a control cable, the said cable being extended, at one of the ends of the tube, by a set of flexible elements which are connected to one another at their ends and which are retracted into the tube in one position of the control cable and emerge from the tube, spreading apart as they do so, in another position of the control cable, thus forming a kind of basket which enables the body to be extracted to be gripped and brought out.
i The flexible elements may be wires or narrow bands. They may consist of any material, for instance of ordinary steel or stainless steel or again of metal covered with plastic material resistant to sterilization temperatures.
The flexible elements may assume any form in the spread position. They may, for example, extend in radial planes passing through the axis of the tube, but, more advantageously, they may take, between the exit of the tube and the point at which they meet again, a helical or a three-dimensional spiral form, which has proved to be extremely advantageous for obtaining a good grip on the body to be extracted. In fact, with the classical devices (hooks, loops, etc), the points of contact of the prehensile system with the wall of the body passage during the descending motion amount to a rectilinear tracing. On the other hand, with a helical form, each of the coiled wires comes into contact with a large portion of the Wall of the body passage which is thus swept by the parts of the basket so that the body to be extracted is inevitably booked by a wire and imprisoned.
The helical form of the wires presents the further advantage that it makes the detachment of the body to be removed less brutal and less painful. The foreign body is not attacked direct from the top but obliquely, tangentially. It is thus subjected to a more effective and less painful progressive thrust so that a tearing of the passage wall in the case of embedded bodies is avoided.
The accompanying figures show, by way of example, various possible forms of embodiment of the instrument according to the invention.
ice
Figure 1 is a complete view of the instrument, the flexible elements being retracted within the tube;
Figure 2 shows the instrument with the flexible elements emerging from the tube and spread apart;
Figure 3 shows on a larger scale the end of the tube and the spread elements;
Figure 4 is a diagram of the operation of extracting a ureteral calculus; and finally,
Figure 5 shows a form of construction of the instrument comprising helical elements.
In the figures, 1 denotes the flexible tube, constituted for instance, by a ureteral catheter of the conventional type. Through the inside of this tube there passes a steel control cable 3. The tube 1 is provided, close to its near end 1, with a kind of head 2 and the cable 3 is provided at its end 3' with a similar head 5. At its remote end 3" opposite the head 5, the cable 3 is extended by a cylinder 7 sliding inside the end 1" of the tube 1. From this cylinder 7 there departs the ends 6'a of the flexible elements 6, 6a. There may be any number of these elements: four are shown in the figure. At their other end 6"a, the elements 6, 6a are connected together in a cylinder 8 extended by an ogival head 4. v The operation of this device is easy to understand: when the head 5 of the cable is pulled and moved away from the 'head 2 of the cable, as shown in Figure 1, the cable 3 pulls on the cylinder 7 and consequently on the flexible elements 6, which are forced to draw together and enter the tube 1 until the small cylinder 8 enters the tube in turn, the base of the ogival head 4 abutting against the edge 9 of the tube.
It is in this position that the instrument is introduced into the passage in which the body to be extracted is located. For example, if the body is a ureteral calculus, the instrument is introduced, through the intermediary of a cystoscope, into the urethra 12, passes through the bladder 13, 14' and enters the ureter 14 by way of opening 15. Owing to the small diameter of the instrument, it is easy togo beyond the calculus, so that the end of the instrument is located above the calculus 16 (Figure 4);
The head 5 of the cable is then pushed back towards the head 2 of the tube in the direction of arrow 10. The cylinder 7 is pushed into the tube end, causing a movement of ogival head 4 in the direction of arrow 11, and the elements 6 emerge from the tube and spread apart by reason of their elasticity, as shown in Figures 2 to 5. It is then endeavoured to grip the calculus or other body by withdrawing the instrument. During the movement of descent, the basket formed by the elements 6 spaced one from the other imprisons the calculus. When this has been done, the head 5 of the cable is pulled again and this tends to close the elements 6 on the body 16, which is thus imprisoned and firmly held. It only remains to Withdraw the whole instrument gently to bring with it the calculus '16 to be extracted.
In practice, it has been found that it is not even necessary to cause the closing action by acting on the flexible control cable, because the Wall of the ureteral duct exerts on the elements 6 a pressure sufiicient to keep the calculus imprisoned between the said elements.
Although the form of embodiment according to Figure 3 gives very satisfactory results, the form of embodiment according to Figure 5 is even more advantageous because, by reason of the helical form of the elements 6, 6a, it enables the body 16 to be gripped much more reliably and to be held more effectively. In fact, when the Wires, such as 6, each take the form of a plane curve, they are liable to slide along the body 16, whereas this disadvantage is obviated by means of the helical elements, which grip the body progressively and, as it were, screw themselves around it.
,1. M 2,948,626 1 i a 7 i Itis clearly stated the forms of embodiment which have just been described and which are shown in the figures are only examples of construction, to which the invention is in no waylimited. On the contrary, it comprises all'formsof embodiment, whatever may be the na-, ture and dimensions thereof. In particular, as has been said, the number, length, thickness and profile of the flexible elements may be chosen at will as a function of the aim to be achieved. The helical curve which the spread elements adopt may likewise have any pitch and answer any geometrical definition. The nature of the materials of which the instrument is made may also be chosen at will.
