Definitions

  • This invention relates to a tool which defines a basket cavity for removing a discrete object from the body of a human or animal patient, said tool having an elongate shaft having a tool head at a distal end thereof, said tool head having a radially compact disposition and a radially spread disposition for embracing said object.
  • the present applicant manufactures a device for catching, fixing and removing foreign objects form the body of a human patient. These foreign objects can include stones, fragments and concrements in the medical fields of urology and gastro-enterology.
  • both ends of a number of individual wires are held together by a ring. Normally, the wires have a circular cross-section.
  • One of these rings forms the distal end of a shaft and the other ring is spaced distally axially from the first ring.
  • the individual wires are all bowed radially outwardly and are distributed at regular intervals around the circumference of the axis, then these wires form longitudinal strands of an envelope defining a cavity centered on the long axis of the shaft.
  • the wires are resilient and are given an outwardly bowed symmetrically or helically twisted shape so as to define a basket cavity radially inwardly of the envelope defined by the wires.
  • the number of wires is usually in a range of from two to six.
  • the entire device is placed within a sheath. For catching the foreign object, the distal end of the shaft and basket assembly is advanced out of the distal end of the sheath, allowing the resilience of the wires to form the basket by outward bowing.
  • the shaft can be withdrawn proximally, to a greater or lesser extent, in order that the distal end of the sheath should squeeze down the diameter of the basket so that the basket wires grip the foreign object in the reduced diameter basket cavity immediately adjacent the distal end of the sleeve. Then the shaft and sleeve can together be withdrawn in the proximal direction to carry the foreign object in the basket out of the body.
  • a small diameter of the sheath is desirable.
  • the jointing of the wires at the rings defines the greatest outer diameter of the shaft element of the device, which therefore determines the inner diameter of the sheath and therefore indirectly determines the outer diameter of the sheath, setting a limit on the minimization of the outer sheath diameter.
  • the envelope of wires determines a characteristic mesh size of the basket and this mesh size has to be suitable both for fishing an object into the basket and then for retaining it within the basket until it has been removed from the body. Whereas a small mesh helps retention and removal, it does not help in the process of fishing the foreign object into the basket. A compromise mesh size has to be adopted.
  • EP-A-818 180 discloses an endoscope accessory in the form of a tube with a slitted distal end portion.
  • the slits can be deformed radially outwardly to define a plurality of openings, by pulling from the proximal end of the tube on a pull wire 13 connected at its distal end to the distal end of the slitted portion.
  • the disclosure of EP-A-737 450 is, in these respects, similar and U.S. Pat. No. 4,807,627.
  • EP-A-512 729 discloses an endoscopic surgical instrument which includes a tube having a slitted portion at its distal end. In a relaxed disposition of the wall portions between the slits, they are spaced apart from one another to form a basket.
  • the slitted tube is itself co-axially within an outer tube having a distal end, and the basket can be closed down by drawing the basket, beginning at its proximal end, proximally into the outer tube, past the distal end of the outer tube.
  • the slitted tube is made of a polyurethane material and the basket is formed by the application of steam heating to the slitted end.
  • DE-A-197 22 429 discloses a Nitinol tube, slitted at its distal end, for use as a basket to gather stones from bodily cavities. It is said to differ from previous such baskets in that the strands of the basket are unitary with the tube.
  • WO 94/18888 is another disclosure of a stone-gathering basket made from a plurality of Nitinol wires.
  • the wires are arranged around the circumference of the basket in pairs and given a helical twist, which is said to increase the number of points of contact between the basket and entrapped calculi and to require of the physician no more dexterity than the prior art baskets, having a smaller number of contact points, required.
  • WO 96/23446 discloses a stone-gathering basket in which a distal half of the basket envelope exhibits a greater number of basket strands than the proximal half of the basket envelope. Each lengthwise strand in the proximal half of the baskets splits at half distance over the basket envelope into a plurality of strands which help to define the proximal half of the basket envelope. At the distal end of the basket is a cap to which all of the filaments defining the basket envelope are welded.
  • WO 99/16365 discloses a stone-gathering basket defined by a plurality of legs and with discussion what cross-sectional shapes of the legs are useful, and what surface topography on the inward facing surface of each leg.
  • WO 99/48429 is another disclosure of a stone gathering basket made unitary from a tube with longitudinal slits at its distal end, the basket being relaxed in its expanded configuration and of a material which can be a nickel titanium shape memory alloy such as Nitinol.
  • the present invention aims to mitigate some or all of the above-mentioned difficulties and, in any event, aims to improve present technology.
  • a medical device as described above, for removing a foreign object from the body of a human or an animal patient, which is characterized in that:
  • the mesh size of the basket structure, of the distal end of the basket is provided as smaller apertures than are present at the proximal end of the basket.
  • foreign objects can be fished into the basket at its proximal end, after which they can be retained in the smaller aperture mesh at the distal end of the basket.
  • the second strands have a length in a range of from 45% to 80% of the length of the first strands.
  • the basket is instead made from the base tubing of the shaft of the tool.
  • the largest diameter of the tool is represented by the basic tubing itself, there being no larger diameter of rings at each end of the basket.
  • a basket could be constructed by slitting each of the second strands over a portion of its length which is less than the full length of the second strand, thereby to define a set of third strands over part of the length of the basket, setting a aperture size in that zone of the length of the basket smaller than would otherwise be the case in the absence of the third strands.
  • the zone of the third strands could be in a “belly portion” of the basket where its diameter is close to its maximum, thereby to achieve an aperture size in this belly portion smaller than an aperture size in a proximal half of the basket envelope, thereby better to retain an object captured in the proximal half of the basket in the smaller mesh size of the distal half of the basket.
  • the tubing is made from nickel titanium shape memory alloy and the strands are formed by a narrow diameter laser beam which cuts through the wall of the tubing.
  • the device being based on a tube

  • the entire device is telescoped within a sleeve (not shown) having an inner diameter big enough to accommodate the rings 16 and 20 .
  • the distal end of the sleeve is advanced to a desired location within the body and then the shaft 12 is advanced until the basket 18 opens just distally beyond the distal end of the sleeve.
  • the medical practitioner fishes the target object into the cavity 22 within the basket defined by the wires 18 , and the shaft 12 is withdrawn proximally by a distance sufficient for the distal end of the sheath to squeeze the wires 18 onto the foreign object, thereby retaining it within the basket cavity 20 .
  • the sheath and shaft are together withdrawn proximally, carrying the object out of the body.
  • the method of use of a tool in accordance with the present invention is similar. However, the manufacture of the tool is quite different, as can be seen from FIG. 2 .

  • the strands 50 and 52 can take up the remembered deployed disposition of FIG. 3 .
  • FIGS. 3 , 4 and 5 reveal a valuable technical effect of the present invention, namely, that the mesh size of the basket can be varied, from one end of the basket to the other, allowing foreign objects to be introduced into the basket envelope through the relatively wide aperture zone of the proximal end of the basket, but then more securely retained within the basket at the relatively smaller diameter aperture portions at the distal end of the basket.
