Definitions
- this invention relates to medical devices and methods.
- the instant invention relates to an improved device for the removal of tissue or foreign bodies from the body.
- One particular use of this improved device is removal of obstructions from the tubular channels of the body.
- obstructions are usually blood clots (thrombi) or other byproducts of occlusive vascular disease (e.g. plaque) or even instruments/implants lost by the physician during an intervention including but not limited to wires, stents, staples, components, embolic coils, etc.
- thrombi blood clots
- occlusive vascular disease e.g. plaque
- instruments/implants lost by the physician during an intervention including but not limited to wires, stents, staples, components, embolic coils, etc.
- the instant invention can be used for the removal of tissue including but not limited to tissue biopsies, cancerous, necrotic, infected, or other diseased tissue from solid or semi- solid tissue.
- Occlusive vascular disease is a common ailment in people resulting in enormous costs to the health care system.
- Blood clots are the most common type of occlusion. Removal of clots from the body has been studied for several years and many techniques (devices and methods) have been studied and practiced. One of the more common techniques is one referred to as embolectomy. Embolectomy is a treatment whereby the clot is removed from the body as opposed to being dissolved and then reabsorbed. Another alternative is thrombolysis. As the name indicates, this is lysing (eating) of the thrombus (blood clot). Usually this requires a significant amount of potentially dangerous and always expensive drug that is injected into the vasculature.
- the drug is sometimes aided with special catheters, which may increase efficacy, but certainly increase cost.
- the deposit of sinuous plaque (arteriosclerosis) to the inner wall of arteries usually precedes clot formation.
- Several expensive devices diilatation balloons, stents, mechanical cutters, etc.
- dilation balloons, stents, mechanical cutters, etc. have been introduced to fight this vascular occlusive disease, but none of which has proven to be the 'magic bullet' to treat this ubiquitous disease. Because of the various problems with all of the techniques and approaches to solving this medical condition, there exists no particular method or device that is considered the most accepted mode of treatment.
- the first objective is to reduce cost. This is particularly important in recent years where it is clear for safety and sanitary reasons that these will be single use devices. A device, even though it performs a function in some improved manner, will not be widely used if it is considerably more costly than the alternatives available.
- a second objective is to provide a device that is simple to use and in a very real sense simple to understand. This will encourage its adoption and use by medical personnel. It will also tend to keep cost low.
- the third objective is to provide a device that entails a procedure with which the medical profession is familiar so that the skills that have been learned from previous experience will continue to have applicability.
- a fourth objective relates to the effectiveness and thoroughness with which the biological tissue or foreign body is removed.
- biological tissue removal it is important that an optimum amount of the mater be removed; recognizing that no device is likely to provide one hundred percent optimization.
- a fifth objective concerns safety; a matter which is often so critical as to trump the other considerations. It is important to avoid unnecessary tissue trauma. In the case of using the present invention or its similar inventions in the tubular channels of the body, it is critically important to avoid breaking up matter in a fashion that leads to flushing elements of the blockage throughout the body involved. The same may be true for removal of diseased tissue removal, certainly in the case of removal of cancerous tissue.
- a major object of this invention is to provide an improved removal device that achieves the objectives of reduced cost, enhanced simplicity, a standard procedure, high effectiveness and a high degree of safety. Most particularly, it is an object of this invention to achieve these objectives with an enhanced trade-off value for the combined objectives.
- This improved medical device provides a new configuration that will eliminate some of those problems and methods for their use, which facilitate removal of vascular obstructions in the operating room or interventional suite.
- one embodiment of this invention is particularly adapted to the removal of blockages in vascular channels (biologic or synthetic) of the body. That embodiment combines an expanding channel catheter and a support wire having an occlusion-engaging element.
- the support wire may extend through the expandable channel device or catheter, through or around the occlusion and at its distal end has an annular braided element attached thereto.
- the support wire is a dual element support wire having a core and an annular shell that slides on the core.
- the distal end of the core is attached to the distal end of the annular braided element and the distal end of the shell is attached to the proximal end of the annular braided element.
- the annular braided element When the annular braided element is in its radially compressed (smaller diameter) state, it can be passed through or around the occlusion together with the rest of the wire to reside on the distal end of the occlusion. When the braided element is expanded and moved proximally (that is, in a retrograde fashion), it will engage the occlusion and force the occlusion into the catheter. Alternatively, no motion of the engaging element may be required if aspiration is applied. In this case, the engaging expandable channel device acts as a seal to prevent the suction from aspiration to remove much material beyond its point of deployment in the channel.
- the distal end of the catheter is proximal of the occlusion and contains an expandable blocking mechanism that extends radially from the distal end of the catheter to the wall of the graft or body passageway.
- This catheter expandable blocking element also has a radially retracted insertion state and a radially expanded blocking state.
- the expandable blocking element is similar in construction to the distal engaging element in that it is a tubular braid, which may or may not be covered by or integrated with a thin film or membrane.
- This distal tubular braid of expandable channel device is usually bonded to the distal end of the catheter or an integral part of the catheter. Pushing the assembly forward where it will meet resistance to the obstruction actuates the expandable characteristic of the expandable engaging element.
- the distal blocking element is expanded in a similar fashion. In this radially expanded state, the expandable engaging element and its film (if desired) blocks the annulus around the catheter so that the occluded blood or other obstruction which is being removed is forced into the catheter where it is aspirated, obliterated or otherwise removed.
- the instant invention also describes another use of the same device of the instant invention with minor changes.
- the expandable tubular braid may be used as a tissue removal device as opposed to an obstruction removal device.
- the instant invention could be used for harvesting vein grafts, removal of plaque from arteries taking biopsy samples, or removal of diseased tissue (i.e. cancerous or other disease) from solid or semi-solid tissue.
- the present invention would be pushed forward and when it reached an expanded diameter (either by design of the tubular braid, design of the entire expandable assembly or by tissue constraints) it would separate tissue via the wall of the expanded tubular device. This separation of tissue may be aided by other energy sources such as, but not limited to mechanical (cutting), thermal, electrical energies, etc.
- the expandable tubular braid (with tissue remaining within its inner diameter) may be removed from the body. This removal may include pulling the expanded tubular braid element and thus putting it into a tensile configuration, where the tubular braided element will have a tendency to be elongated and consequently the diameter of the expanded device may be decreased depending upon the matter contained within as well as the physical constraints put on the device by its particular environment within the body.
- the instant invention provides an improved device of the type having a shaft with a proximal end and a distal end.
- the improvement comprises configuring at least a distal portion of the shaft so that it can assume a shape(s) along its shaft (proximally, mid-section or distally) that will act as a TRAP or dragger.
- this trap mechanism(s) is moved along the lumen (artery, vein, intestine, stent, graft, or other hollow vessel or organ) and then past the obstruction or tissue (clot, plaque, or other obstruction).
- the user can actuate the trap mechanism(s) so that it is enlarged beyond its original size/diameter and aid in removing the obstruction using another novel, elongate expandable channel.
- This novel, expandable channel has the ability to start small but is easily enlarged when the obstruction or tissue meets the distal end of the device. Once the material located in at least the distal end of this expandable channel (and possibly farther into it) the expandable channel that is distal to the material may shrink down to the original diameter or close to it. In other words, this new channel acts like a snake swallowing a large piece of food that originally is larger than the snake's throat or intestines.
- this new channel will be referred to as PYTHON.
- This technique may be aided with other aids such as the addition of lytic agents, monoclonal antibodies, vibration, irrigation, aspiration, therapeutic ultrasound or other energies such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, etc. or pharmaceutical therapy(s) that will aid with removal or obliteration of the material.

- FIG. 2A is a schematic illustration of the TRAP 12 device with a malecot type mechanism 6 on the distal portion where the malecot has a roughened surface.
- the malecot is in its deployed condition.
- the malecot mechanism could have a covering over or within the ribs or wings, but is not illustrated in the figure. This covering could be elastic or inelastic material. Further, a membrane could be located within the malecot it self. In this case, the ribs or wings 7 of the malecot would have a membrane attached to the wings. This attachment could be the material that the wings are made of or an added material.
- the material used in construction of the malecot style TRAP 12 vary from a polymer to metals.
- FIG. 2B is a cross sectional view of the malecot mechanism in its undeployed state.
- Longitudinal slits 8 located on the TRAP 12 allow the ribs or wings 7 to be deployed outward. There are at least two slits 8, but often four or six may be used. The slits are usually in pairs (but not necessarily) in that they are symmetrically placed around the circumference of the shaft 10.

- the mandril or tube 9 could be pulled proximally with respect to the shaft 10 when the malecot is un-deployed in its relaxed condition.
- the inner mandril or tube 9 would be a tube when a guide wire is used to place the TRAP 12 into position. In this case, there would be a lumen through the entire TRAP catheter 12 and an exit hole in the tip 11 of the device. The guide wire and through lumen is not illustrated here.
- FIG. 2C is a cross sectional illustration of the TRAP 12 with the wings 7 expanded.
- FIG. 3 is a preferred embodiment of the Entrapping Device, the TRAP 12.
- the radially expanding mechanism is accomplished using an expanded tubular braid on the distal portion of the device although with all of the TRAP designs disclosed herein, the location of the TRAP along the device may vary proximally and distally as required for the particular application. This braid may or may not have a covering over it within it or under it. It is important to note that the TRAP element may take a variety of shapes as would be required for the particular application.
- FIG. 3 is a longitudinal view of the distal portion of a support tube 14 with a braided occlusion-TRAP element 13 in its radially expanded state.
- the braided TRAP 13 could be expanded in its relaxed state or conversely could be in its smaller diameter, un-deployed (not shown) in its relaxed state.
- the tubular braid can be programmed to be expanded in its relaxed state. In this case, the inner wire or tube 15 is pushed in a distal direction to force the braided TRAP 13 into a smaller diameter and un-deployed state.
- the inner wire or tube 15 may be a tube when a guide wire is used.
- the inner tube 15 would have a lumen extending through the entire device with an exit hole 16 in the distal tip 17.
- the inner wire or tube 15 is pulled with respect to the outer shaft 14 to actuate the TRAP 13 and radially expand it.
- FIG. 4A illustrates the tubular braid 18 in its smaller diameter.
- FIG. 4B illustrates the tubular braid 19 in its expanded state. Shortening the tubular braid 18 causes the expansion.
- FIG. 5 is an illustration of the PYTHON expandable channel 20 as it is beginning to open and engulf the thrombus 4 inside a vessel 2. Again FIG. 5 illustrates vascular usage for clot removal, but the instant invention described can be used in other tubular channels within the body for removal of visceral tissue as well as synthetic matter.
- the TRAP 12 is in its deployed and radially expanded condition distal to the material to be removed. It has been passed through or around the material in a smaller and un- deployed condition.
- the shaft 14 of the TRAP 12 is located inside the PYTHON 20.
- both the PYTHON 20 & 21 as well as the TRAP 13 are constructed using multi-stranded braid.
- the braid material can be plastic, fabric, metallic, etc.
- the PYTHON 21 could be inserted into breast, liver, brain (or other solid or solid-like tissue) for removal of matter there. This is usually done via a pecutaneous (LIS (Least Invasive Surgery) or MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery)) access site. This preferred embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 7 & 8.
- LIS Local Invasive Surgery
- MIS Minimally Invasive Surgery
- the TRAP 12 illustrated is of the braided type, but could also be any variety of TRAPS. In all figures, there may be structures (not illustrated) in the figures that increase or decrease the strength of the TRAP mechanism(s).
- FIG. 6 a preferred embodiment is illustrated where the material to be removed (blood clot) 4 is fully encapsulated inside the PYTHON expandable channel 22 and ready for removal, dissolution or other obliteration.
- the material to be removed (blood clot) 4 is fully encapsulated inside the PYTHON expandable channel 22 and ready for removal, dissolution or other obliteration.
- the TRAP could be removed after entrapping the matter, but prior to its removal from the body.
- the TRAP 12 would be un- deployed to its smaller diameter. This smaller diameter is near to the diameter of the TRAP shaft 14. In its smaller diameter, it could be withdrawn first prior to removal of the PYTHON with entrapped matter if preferred.
- the TRAP 12 in this instance could be used as an anchor or tensioner so that a device (i.e. catheter) could be easily placed over the shaft 14 of the TRAP 12.
- a device i.e. catheter
- a guide wire is used. Often times the guide wire has a tendency to move after it has been placed exactly where the interventionalist has placed it. Often the time and effort to place the guide wire is the most critical of the interventional procedure and assuring that this placement is retained is very valuable.
- a preferred embodiment of this anchoring is the fact that the physician can also apply tension to the guide wire shaft 14 from outside the body. This is valuable because often disease in tubular channels within the body occur significant distances from the entry point accomplished by the physician. Further, the guide wire is often passed through tortuous paths along the tubular channel. These tortuous paths are difficult with a guide wire, but can be even more difficult when trying to pass another device such as, but not limited to a catheter or endoscope. By applying tension to the shaft 14 of the TRAP 12, these tortuous paths are much less difficult to cross than without said tension or anchoring applied. This is accomplished because the TRAP 12 can be made very small commensurate to conventional guide wires.
- FIG. 7A illustrates a therapeutic instrument 24 for obliteration of diseased tissue including but not limited to cancer, fibroids, etc.
- the instrument is placed percutaneously into the breast 23 (or other tissue including, but not limited to liver, brain, pancreas, lungs, etc.).
- the therapeutic instrument 24 is located in the area of the diseased tissue and activated. This therapy 10
- the ribs or blades 25 are shown here in an expanded condition. They are first inserted into the breast 23 (or other tissue) in an unexpanded condition not illustrated. When they are inserted in the unexpanded condition, they approximate the smaller diameter of the shaft 26. This is readily accomplished in several ways commonly known to anyone normally skilled in the art. One such mechanism would be similar to the mechanism used to expand the TRAP described in the instant invention where an inner member is moved with respect to the shaft 26. In this case the ribs would move from a smaller diameter and flattened condition to an expanded condition as illustrated in FIGS. 7A & 7B.
- the expansion could also be varied by the physician in that the more relative motion of the inner member to the shaft 26, the greater the expansion of the ribs or blades. This is important because the physician can then control the amount of tissue to be treated and/or removed.
- the ribs or blades 25 could be one or more in number. This rib design is commonly used in expanding baskets for stone or other obstruction removal.
- the ribs or blades may be sharp so that a twisting or turning of the device 24 would accomplish severance of the tissue along the shape of the expanded blades or ribs 25. If there is one blade or rib 25, the device would be revolved 360 degrees. If two ribs or blades, 180 degrees and so on, depending upon the number of ribs or blades 25. This turning or revolving can be accomplished by the physician him or her self or could be incorporated into the device itself with the addition of a variety of different energy sources. Further, the cutting could be aided with a variety of other energy sources described above.
- the ribs may help in providing a scaffold for advancing the PYTHON 20.
- the ribs or blades 25 may not be required in the situation where the PYTHON is used as a tissue removal alone without the aid of the therapeutic characteristic described herein. This is further described below in regard to Figs 8A & 8B.
- the PYTHON 20 has been moved forward and expanded around the treated tissue.
- the expanded channel 22 of the PYTHON has entrapped the distal end of the therapeutic device 24 including the ribs or blades 25 and the treated tissue within.
- the PYTHON may be aided with closing the distal end 30 utilizing a variety of mechanisms only one of which may be a snare or drawstring attached around the distal end of the PYTHON 30.
- the PYTHON expandable channel may be covered or coated within the filaments or both with an elastic or inelastic membrane.
- the physician Upon removal, the physician usually pulls the PYTHON. This pulling puts the PYTHON expanding channel into a tensile mode which allows the PYTHON to be reduced in diameter and in some cases back to it's original smaller diameter 21.
- FIG. 8A illustrates a cross sectional view of the Entrapping Device 31 inserted into the breast 23.
- the Entrapping Device 31 is aimed at diseased tissue 29 located in the breast.
- the location of this diseased tissue 29 can be determined by a number of different diagnostic tools including, but not limited to MRI, x-ray, ultrasound, palpation, mammography, etc.
- the un-deployed and smaller PYTHON expandable channel is constrained by an outer tube 27.
- This outer tube 27 has before been neither delineated nor illustrated in the figures in the aforementioned embodiments; however, it is likely that it will be used in all of them.
- the PYTHON expandable channel 21 is pushed forward. Upon pushing the PYTHON forward, it expands due to resistance felt by the tissue in front of it or other mechanism.
- the amount of expansion can be controlled by the design of the tubular braid, surrounding tissue characteristics or in the design of the device itself as previously described.
- the PYTHON expandable channel 22 has entrapped the diseased tissue. This entrapment may be aided by adding energies including, but not limited to thermal, electrical, radio frequency, etc. or with the aid of a cutting edge on the most distal end 32 of the PYTHON expandable channel. Further, although not illustrated here, the distal end of the PYTHON expandable channel 32 may have a mechanism that will close the expanded channel prior to removal. This mechanism may include a mechanism for severing the tissue that is not severed during the pushing forward of the PYTHON as well. Referring now to FIG. 9, the preferred embodiment of the instant invention is illustrated. FIG.
- FIG. 9 A is a cross sectional view of an artery 2 that is diseased with an obstruction 33 which is usually plaque that is deposited onto the inner wall of the vessel.
- the PYTHON 35 has been advanced into the artery 2 and is just proximal to the occlusion 33.
- the PYTHON 21 moved forward relative to the occlusion 33 and shaft 27 and begins to expand 20 in FIG. 9C. Again, the amount of expansion is easily controlled as previous discussed.
- the PYTHON 20 As the PYTHON 20 is moved forward, it can separate the obstruction 33 from the wall of the artery 2 because there is a natural plane 36 that exists here between the plaque 33 and wall of the artery 2. This separation of the plane is not illustrated in FIG. 9.
- the PYTHON 20 separates the obstruction 33 from itself and provides a larger flow lumen in the artery. Also not illustrated is the PYTHON being used in a similar fashion as is illustrated in FIG. 9 except that the PYTHON is used externally to the vessel for harvesting. This is most common for vein harvesting for the physician (vascular surgeon) to use the harvested vein as a graft to replace diseased arteries. The most common harvested vein is the saphenous vein.
- FIG. 9C illustrates the PYTHON with some of the occlusion entrapped within the PYTHON.
- the device of the instant invention is used for intervention into the tubular channels (arteries, veins, biliary tract, urological tract, gastro-intestinal tract, stents, grafts, sinuses, nasopharynx, heart, ears, etc.) or hollow cavities (stomach, gall bladder, urinary bladder, peritoneum, etc.) of the body.
- the instant invention may be used in solid or semi-solid tissue including, but not limited to breast, liver, brain, pancreas, lungs etc. It is particularly convenient to use in an operating room, surgical suite, interventional suite, Emergency Room, patient's bedside, etc. environment.
- the flexible shaft is inserted into the tissue, tubular channel or hollow cavity of the body usually through pecutaneous access or via a surgical incision.
- the device may enter through one of those entry or exit paths (i.e. rectal opening, mouth, ear, etc.).
- the TRAP pulls the matter proximally toward the PYTHON or holds the matter from moving distally in the case when the PYTHON is moved forward.
- the TRAP(s) mechanism(s) is deployed (usually actuated by the physician outside the body) so that the umbrella(s)/trap(s) configuration on the device opens/deploys.
- the PYTHON channel begins to open due to the PYTHON channel being put into compression.
- the PYTHON can be put into compression by moving it forward which expands the PYTHON around the material. This opening of the PYTHON channel may be aided by creating a slight flare at the most distal end of the PYTHON channel. As the matter enters the PYTHON channel and is enclosed within the PYTHON channel, the distal end of the PYTHON channel may close. Other mechanisms commonly known to anyone normally skilled in the art could be used to enhance the closure of the distal end of the PYTHON if so desired.
- One such mechanism may be a snare, which is located on the distal end of the PYTHON.
- the physician might pull on a string or wire that actuates the snare and pulls the PYTHON closed.
- other mechanisms using electrical, magnetic, mechanical, etc. energies could be used.
- This closing or compression of the PYTHON channel can be aided by pulling on the PYTHON channel and hence putting it into a tensile mode.
- the TRAP and the PYTHON channel described herein are usually inserted into the patient in an un-deployed fashion. It may arrive in the package in a deployed or un-deployed state.
- the umbrella(s)/TRAP(s) like mechanism(s), if used, is deployed.
- the user will pull the device in a retrograde fashion into the PYTHON channel and then remove (or dissolve or otherwise obliterate) the matter from the hollow structure.
- the TRAP may be used to keep the matter from moving distally while the PYTHON is moved forward. Sometimes this removal is assisted with suction/aspiration applied to the obstruction proximally (with the TRAP(s) deployed distally).
- the obstruction could be engulfed inside the PYTHON channel using aspiration/suction. Even further, the obstruction could be engulfed inside the PYTHON channel by merely pushing the 13
- PYTHON channel forward toward the obstruction with or without the aid of a TRAP, irrigation, aspiration, suction etc.
- This forward pushing causes the PYTHON channel to be put into compression which in turn causes the PYTHON channel to open up to the largest diameter.
- This largest diameter is available either by the design of the PYTHON channel or by the size of the channel/lumen where the matter is located or other tissue constraints.
- additional instruments may be used.
- the removal of a tumor from the breast may be aided with an obliterating device (mechanical cutting, electrical, sonic, thermal, etc.).
- the physician would locate the tumor to be resected or otherwise obliterated usually with the aid of image intensification (x-ray, palpation, mammography, stereotactic x-ray, ultrasound imaging, endoscopes, etc.).
- An elongate obliterating device may be inserted into the breast to the tumor site where expandable 'blades' would be deployed to a degree equal to the amount of tissue to be removed.
- Such obliterating blades have been used for removal of tumors in other solid or semi-solid tissue.
- the blades may be mechanically cutting blades or alternatively, other energy sources may be used to affect the cutting of the tissue.
- the PYTHON would be pushed forward toward the severed tissue.
- the blades would help in expanding the PYTHON around the severed tissue.
- This covering may be elastic or inelastic material.
- Such materials may include but are not limited to silicone rubber, polyurethanes, PET, MYLAR, polyethylenes, etc.
- This covering may be advantageous for other applications of the PYTHON where the material being removed is desired to be fully encapsulated within the PYTHON tubular braid channel without allowing for any fragmented components to pass through the porous filaments of the braid.
- other techniques may be used for removal assistance such as the use of lytic agents, laser energy, dissolving agents, hydraulic assistance, mechanical agitation, vibration, ultrasonic energy or any other variety of assistance that will aid in the removal.
- Image intensification Ultrasound, fluoroscopy, MRI, etc.
- direst visualization using cameras or endoscopes may be used as well.
- Possible configurations of the distal TRAP(s) mechanism(s) are varied.
- One such mechanism(s) is a balloon that is inflated distally to the obstruction. This technique has been used for several years and has its place. However, because of the usual smoothness that is realized with balloons, the balloon can deform and slide past the obstruction or just not be effective enough to remove enough of the obstruction.
- one preferred embodiment of the instant invention uses a texturing on the balloon to help with removal. This texturing can be done by actually creating a rough surface on the outside of the balloon material that is part of the wall of the balloon itself.
- the balloon material is made of elastic material such as silicone, latex, rubber, urethane, etc.
- the material could be formulated with just a flexible, but somewhat inelastic material such as PET, Mylar, Polyester, or any number of other inelastic, but flexible materials. Further, the material could be of some hybrid elastic/inelastic material or compliant material. 14
- the balloon may be aided with some other mechanical substructure that aids in the outward radial force that is created by the balloon. All of these configurations may or may not have a roughened texture on the exterior surface that will aid in the removal of the obstruction. Alternatively, all of the above mentioned configurations could have a separate or additional material applied over the inflatable membrane which may or may not be roughened.
- the roughened surface on the balloon, malecot, covering or film within the malecot and braided devices is easily accomplished in the manufacturing environment.
- One such way is to create bubbles in a liquid slurry of the polymer prior to its solid curing.
- malecot Another configuration that could be used for the TRAP is a mechanism(s) known as a malecot.
- This malecot is a common configuration used in catheters for holding them in place (in the case of feeding tubes in the intestines or stomach). It is usually a polymeric tube that has more than one, but usually two or more slits symmetrically opposed.
- distal tip of the malecot is put into compression (usually by pulling an inner wire or mandrel or tube), the sides of the polymer are pushed outward to create a larger diameter on the distal tip. This larger diameter is larger than the body/shaft of the device.
- the surface of the malecot could be roughened or a separate membrane (attached or not) could be put over or under the malecot so that it is roughened or strengthened. Further, a membrane that connects the ribs or wings of a malecot is easily fabricated to increase the surface area of the malecot ribs or wings alone.
- TRAP is one that has similarities to the malecot, but uses a multi-stranded braid on the distal end. When the braid is put into compression, the braid is pulled together and it flares out to create a larger diameter on the distal end.
- either the braid or the malecot can have a permanent set put into in so that it is normally open with the larger diameter. In this case, when it is put into tension (usually from some inner (or outer) core wire or mandrel), it collapses down to the diameter of the shaft of the device. Alternatively, too much abrasive action on the surface of the mechanism(s) may be deleterious to the patient as well.
- the PYTHON channel can also be fabricated from several materials and configurations.
- One preferred configuration is similar to one of the TRAP designs; that being a multi-stranded braided device.
- the strands can be made of any material that would be useful for a particular application (polymers like polyester, nylon, Mylar, etc.) or, metal (stainless steel, Nickel Titanium Allow (Nitinol), platinum, etc.).
- the materials of the instant invention are not constrained to those materials listed.
- the PYTHON channel may be coated or encased in an elastomeric or other covering. Further, the
- PYTHON channel may be fabricated of a material that will enlarge due to different forces than that of the 15
- One other such force derived mechanism could be a material that swells/enlarges when put into a moist environment.
- Another such forced derived mechanism is one that swells/enlarges when thermal energy is applied such as Two Way Shaped Memory Alloy (TWSMA) such as a Nickel-Titanium alloy.
- TWSMA Two Way Shaped Memory Alloy
- another may be one that occurs from an electrical, magnetic or other mechanical configuration/design/force.
- the TRAP apparatus includes an elongate tube; an elongate mandril inside the tube and an expandable tubular braid.
- the elongate mandril extends from the proximal end of the device to the distal end.
- the elongate tube usually extends from close to the proximal end of the device to close to the distal end.
- the distal end of the tubular braid is bonded to the distal end of the inner elongate mandril.
- the mandril may extend beyond the tubular braid.
- the proximal end of the tubular braid is bonded to the distal end of the elongate tube.
- the braid may be open, but may be laminated or covered with a coating of elastic, generally inelastic, plastic or plastically deformable material, such as silicone rubber, latex, polyethylene, thermoplastic elastomers (such as C-Flex, commercially available from Consolidated Polymer Technology), polyurethane and the like.
- elastic, generally inelastic, plastic or plastically deformable material such as silicone rubber, latex, polyethylene, thermoplastic elastomers (such as C-Flex, commercially available from Consolidated Polymer Technology), polyurethane and the like.
- the assembly of tube, mandril and braid is introduced percutaneously in its radially compressed state. In this state, the outside diameter of the braid is close to the outside diameter of the elongate tube. This diameter is in the range of 10 to 500 mils, and usually 25 to 250 mils (i.e. thousandth of an inch). After insertion, moving the mandril proximally with respect to the tube expands the tubular braid.
- the tubular braid is preferably formed as a mesh of individual non-elastic filaments (called “yarns” in the braiding industry). However, it can have some elastic filaments interwoven to create certain characteristics.
- the non-elastic yarns can be materials such as polyester, PET, polypropylene, polyamide fiber (Kevlar, DuPont), composite filament wound polymer, extruded polymer tubing (such as Nylon II or Ultem, commercially available from General Electric), stainless steel, Nickel Titanium (Nitinol), or the like so that axial shortening causes radial expansion of the braid. These materials have sufficient strength so that the TRAP element will retain its expanded condition in the lumen of the body while removing the matter therefrom.
- all expandable mechanisms described heretofore can be manufactured using shape memory materials so that they are self expanding or even expandable when certain temperatures or thermal energies are delivered to the mechanisms.
- shape memory materials can be accomplished with different programming methods such as, but not limited to Two Way Shape Memory (TWSM) alloys.
- TWSM Two Way Shape Memory
- the braid may be of conventional construction, comprising round filaments, flat or ribbon filaments, square filaments, or the like.
- Non-round filaments may be advantageous to decrease the axial force required for expansion to create a preferred surface area configuration or to decrease the wall thickness of the tubular braid.
- the filament width or diameter will typically be from about 0.5 to 50 mils, 16
- Suitable braids are commercially available from a variety of commercial suppliers.
- the tubular braids are typically formed by a "Maypole" dance of yarn carries.
- the braid consists of two systems of yarns alternately passing over and under each other causing a zigzag pattern on the surface.
- One system of yarns moves helically clockwise with respect to the fabric axis while the other moves helically counter-clockwise.
- the resulting fabric is a tubular braid.
- Common applications of tubular braids are lacings, electrical cable covers (i.e. insulation and shielding), "Chinese hand-cuffs" and reinforcements for composites.
- To form a balanced, torque-free fabric (tubular braid) the structure must contain the same number of yarns in each helical direction.
- the tubular braid may also be pressed flat to form a double thickness fabric strip.
- the braid weave used in the tubular braid of the present invention will preferably be of the construction known as "two dimensional, tubular, diamond braid” that has a 1/1 intersection pattern of the yarns which is referred to as the "intersection repeat".
- a Regular braid with a 2/2 intersection repeat and a Hercules braid with an intersection repeat of 3/3 may be used.
- the helix angle (that being the angle between the axis of the tubular braid and the yarn) will increase as the braid is expanded.
- Longitudinal Lay-Ins can be added within the braid yarns and parallel to the axis to aid with stability, improve tensile and compressive properties and modulus of the fabric.
- the tubular braid is known as an elastic braid.
- the fabric is called a rigid braid.
- Biaxially braided fabrics such as those of the present invention are not dimensionally stable. This is why the braid can be placed into an expanded state from a relaxed state (in the case of putting it into the compressive mode). Alternatively this could be a decreased/reduced (braid diameter decreases) state when put into tension from the relaxed state. When put into tension (or compression for that matter) the braid eventually reaches a state wherein the diameter will decrease no more. This is called the "Jammed State”. On a stress strain curve, this corresponds to increase modulus.
- the support wire with its expanding element can be fabricated with a very small diameter. This is important because it allows an optimally large annular space between the wire and the inside of the PYTHON for maximum obstruction removal.
- Previous engaging elements have been used that use a balloon for the engaging element. This balloon design requires a larger shaft diameter th.an that of the present invention. Hence, in these previous devices the annular space is not maximized as in the present invention.
- the term wire is used to refer to the support portion of the removal TRAP device.
- the material of the wire need not necessarily be metal. Further, it may be desirable to use a 'double' engaging element (i.e.
- wire is used herein to refer to a dual element device having a shell component and a core or mandril component which are longitudinally moveable relative to one another so as to be able to place the braided TRAP element into its small diameter insertion state and its large diameter occlusion removal state.
- instruments/mechanisms may be used to help orient the obstruction or tissue into the PYTHON channel. This may be of particular importance when the PYTHON is used in a hollow cavity such as the stomach or peritoneal cavity. In such an instance, a variety of devices (or no devices) may be used to aid with arranging the obstruction, tissue, organ, etc. into the PYTHON.
- Prototypes of the PYTHON were fabricated from the materials disclosed heretofore and of the dimensions commensurate with this disclosure. Congealed matter such as blood and gels were installed in graft material (Expanded PTFE) and other polymeric tubular channels (with and without TRAP mechanisms). The PYTHON easily removed more than 95% of the enclosed matter from the graft. Further, metallic tubular braid severed semi-solid material by forcing in into the semi-solid material. This severing of material was accomplished even without the aid of other energies disclosed heretofore.
- An exemplary device has the following characteristics: Working Length
- the wire of the TRAP has an outer diameter that ranges from .006" to .150", but can extend to smaller and larger sizes as technology and procedures require.
- the TRAP of the instant invention would be small in its un-deployed state (similar to that of the wire mentioned above), but would be expandable to diameters of 1 Omils to 500 mils or even larger.
- the PYTHON channel will usually have two diameters as well, a smaller diameter for insertion into the body which would in the range of 20 to 100 mils or even 18
- the used or deployed state of the PYTHON channel may extend from 50 mils to 2000 mils or even larger.
- the device of the instant invention may have conventional lubricious coatings to enhance introduction into the target body lumen, e.g. hyaluronic or other equivalent coatings. Further, the technician may apply a lubricious coating just before surgery. As an advantage of the instant invention, the device will be less difficult to feed it to the desired location in the body due to its decreased size. Another advantage of the instant invention would be the ease with which matter can be entrapped for removal or obliteration.
- This TRAP(s) mechanism(s) may be at the tip or somewhere else in the distal portion of the device or even in the middle of the device. Additionally, this mechanism(s) may be any of a number of mechanisms that will help aid in removing the matter.
- the pushability of the PYTHON channel or sheath may be limiting and advancement may be problematic. If this should occur, an outer sleeve may be added to the PYTHON channel to aid with positioning of the device in the preferred location (usually adjacent to the obstruction). Once the PYTHON channel is in this position, the sleeve could be removed so that additional push or compression will allow the PYTHON channel to expand, open, and hence entrap the obstruction. Alternatively or in addition to the outer containing sleeve of the PYTHON, an inner mandril/wire might be used to pull the PYTHON into the desired position in the body.
