Fig. 3 A are returned to, as will be described in more detail below, usually, spring (90) is fixedly secured to axle (30), makes Spring (90) contact mark thing (60) first is obtained, is then compressed when axle (30) advances, finally axle (30) can be contacted Label (60).In this example, spring (90) is shown as being fixedly secured to axle at the point of the distal end close to axle (30) (30) so that only some first pitch region (92) is distally extending from the distal end of axle (30).Certainly, in other examples In, any suitable part of spring (90) can extend from the distal end of axle (30).For example, the spring (90) of this example can lead to Cross laser welding and be fixedly secured to axle (30).In other examples, axle (30) can simply include annular protrusion or many Individual projection, projection can prevent spring (90) from being slided along axle (30) to nearside.In other other examples, axle (30) can be wrapped Annular protrusion or multiple projections are included, projection can be configured to by press-fit or interference fit fastening spring (90).Another In some other examples, in view of the teachings contained herein, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill of the art that can use bullet Spring (90) is fastened to the other suitable features or method of axle (30), for example, screw, pin or adhesive.
As shown in Figure 17 B, device can include the annular retainer with axle (173) integrally molded formation (175a), and the near-end of spring is fastened to the axle (173), so that the spring is not slided relative to the axle.
As shown in figure 3 a, the label (60) of this example includes biodegradable or can otherwise inhaled The body (62) of receipts.Absorbable body (62) can have a shape of substantial cylindrical, and can by collagen, hydrogel and/ Or other any suitable material compositions.Absorbable body (62) can include (for example, the titanium), generally radiopaque of metal Labelled element (64) (being shown in phantom), the labelled element (64) is arranged in absorbable body (62), or otherwise Carried by absorbable body (62).The labelled element (64) of this example is configured to helical spring, it should be understood that, mark Element (64) can have any other shape for being suitable to strengthen radiography observability.It is to be further understood that metal is only One kind can be used for the illustrated examples to form the material of labelled element (64).In view of the teachings contained herein, for this area It is evident that various other suitable materials can be used for those of ordinary skill.
In some instances, it may be necessary to be equipped with some labels (60) for marker delivery device (10) and keep feature, So as to which optionally label (60) is fastened in sleeve pipe (40).For example, the sleeve pipe (40) of this example is recessed including two holdings Fall into (50), depression (50) is arranged in casing cavity (48) close to sidewise hole (42).As can be most found out in Fig. 4, it is recessed (50) Sidewise hole (42) is may be located remotely to be arranged near the bottom of sleeve pipe (40).For example, depression (50) can be hemispherical shape, and It is inwardly projecting in casing cavity (48).Therefore, depression (50) can be configured to engage at least a portion of label (60), so as to Label (60) is maintained in casing cavity (48).However, because absorbable body (62) is by collagen, hydrogel and/or other Deformable material is constituted, and label (60) can have the attribute of relative resilient so that label (60) can pass through axle (30) Optionally it is forced through depression (50).Alternatively, label (60) can have small by one relative to the internal diameter of sleeve pipe (40) A little size so that when axle (30) promotes label (60), label (60), which can be pushed upwardly, crosses depression (50).To the greatest extent Pipe-in-pipe (40) is shown as including two depressions (50), it should be appreciated that in other examples, sleeve pipe (40) can include Any other appropriate number of depression (50).
As shown in Figure 17 D, circumferentially spaced two depressions (174d) can be formed in sleeve pipe (174). If 0 ° of position will be defined as at the top of sleeve pipe (174) as shown in figure 17d, the first depression can be positioned at close to 135 ° of positions Place and second depression can be positioned at close at 225 ° of positions.According to some aspects, annular fold (174a) can be by substantial amounts of The depression of tight spacing is formed.However, the preferred amount of circumferentially equally spaced depression may be as few as two, as retouch Paint, up to eight or more.According to some aspects, if for example, selected eight depressions, can have one at 0 ° of position Depression, hereafter every 45 ° of the circumference around sleeve pipe (174) can have a depression.
Additionally or alternatively, in addition to hemispherical shape, depression (50) can also include other shapes.For example, in view of Teaching herein, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill of the art that depression (50) can be pyramid, cube, water chestnut Shape, or other any suitable shapes.As another is merely illustrative example, annular protrusion or fold can stretch into chamber (48) in, it is used as the substitute of depression (50).Be merely illustrative at another in example, with sleeve pipe (40) monoblock type structure The tongue piece for the relative flexibility made or contact pin can be stretched into chamber (48), be used as another substitute of depression (50).
According to some aspects, as shown in Figure 18 A to Figure 18 C, sleeve pipe (174) can include tongue piece (177), the tongue Piece is hidden in outside the visual field in Figure 18 A side view, and in Figure 18 B longitudinal side cutaway view and Figure 18 C Longitudinal top plan view in be visible.According to some aspects, tongue piece (177) and sleeve pipe (174) can be integrally with each other Formed, and the tongue piece can provide for example resist by shaft-driven label (176) proximally to distal side displacement stopping Dynamic device, i.e. tongue piece (177) can perform the function similar with annular fold described herein or depression.According to some aspects, For example, when label (176) is formed by non-flexible and non-elastic material, this tongue piece (177) can be used.
As shown in figure 19, according to some aspects, protuberance can be formed in casing cavity (174) or is heaved (26), the drum Rise and perform the function similar with tongue piece (177).For example, bulging (178) and tongue piece (177) can be configured to work as rigid markers' thing (176) flattened when being pushed over these features.
Fig. 3 B to Fig. 3 D show exemplary the using of marker delivery device (10).As can be seen that mark such as from Fig. 3 B Note thing (60) is originally arranged in casing cavity (42) close to depression (50).Then user can be by sleeve pipe (40) insertion biopsy dress Put or targeting group, so that when in the tissue that biopsy device or targeting group have been positioned at biopsy site, in biopsy Position conveying label (60).Sleeve pipe (40) may be positioned such that sidewise hole (42) in an angularly can be filled longitudinally with biopsy Put or targeting group pin or sleeve pipe complementary sidewise hole alignment.Once sleeve pipe (40) is already inserted into biopsy device or targeting Group and it is properly positioned wherein, for example, user can be by using one hand, or alternatively uses multiple hands, catch hand Handle (24) and plunger depressed (28) start deployment.
When plunger (28) is distad pressed, axle (30) can relative to sleeve pipe (40) and body (20) distad before Enter, as shown in the change between Fig. 3 B and Fig. 3 C.When the distal end of axle (30) is close to label (60), spring (90) can be with Contact mark thing (60) first.As shown in Fig. 3 B and Fig. 3 C, when axle (30) is advanced further, this contact can be with compression spring (90), so as to store potential energy in spring (90).
The additional advance of axle (30) can ultimately result in the direct contact between the distal end of label (60) and axle (30).Such as In fig. 3 c it can be seen that, in this stage, the distal end that the distal end of axle (30) can be substantially with spring (90) is aligned, once This directly to contact, axle (30) will start distad to promote label (60) in the sleeve pipe (40) so that label (60) to Be distally advanced, by and/or cross depression (50) and gone out from sidewise hole (42).Once label (60) is away from depression (50), Spring (90) can begin through the potential energy produced during the compression of spring (90) and uphold.As can see from Fig. 3 D, This extension of spring (90) may finally make label (60) laterally proceed to the ramp portions (46) of distal tip (44) On, gone out by sidewise hole (42) and enter biopsy site.It is understood that the first pitch region (92) can be in depression (50) top is bent, and extends past depression (50).Thus, for example, the construction of spring (90) can allow spring (90) in chamber (48) laterally deflection in so that do not need axle (30) in any deflection of intracavitary, spring (90) can be to be advanced past depression (50).Forming the coil in the first pitch region (92) can simply slide to cross depression (50) relative to each other.Recessed It is trapped in the modification arranged in chamber (48) along bigger angular range (such as in the sleeve pipe (640) being described below), spring (90) it still can deform distad to surmount depression (50).For example, the coil for forming the first pitch region (92) can be relative In sliding over each other and obliquely being tilted relative to the longitudinal axis of chamber (48), to reduce effective external diameter of spring (90), so that The space for allowing spring (90) to be limited by being recessed between (50).
Fig. 5 shows exemplary surrogate markers thing (160), and the label (160) can be attached to or instead of above-mentioned mark Remember thing (60) and used.The label (160) of this example is substantially similar to label (60).For example, as label (60) Equally, label (160) can include biodegradable or otherwise absorbable body (162).It can absorb this Body (162) has the shape of substantial cylindrical, and can be by collagen, hydrogel, and/or other any suitable material compositions. Body (62) is can absorb as described above, and metal, usual radiopaque labelled element can be included by caning absorb body (162) (164), the labelled element (164) is arranged in absorbable body (162), or otherwise by caning absorb body (162) Carrying.However, unlike labelled element (64), the labelled element (164) of this example can include discoid central component (166) (being shown in phantom), the central component (166) has to be protruded and from absorbable body radially outward from central component (166) (162) three elongated raiseds (168) gone out.It can be used for forming labelled element it is to be further understood that metal is only one kind (164) an illustrative example of material.In view of the teachings contained herein, to those skilled in the art significantly It is that can use various other suitable materials.
In some instances, elongated raised (168) can radially outward be protruded from central component (166) so as to provide with The internal friction of sleeve pipe (40).Thus, for example, elongated raised (168) can be configured to contact the inside of sleeve pipe (40).This structure Making can be used together with or instead of depression (50), such as so that label (160) is maintained in sleeve pipe (40), so that anti- Only label (160) is dropped out unintentionally from sleeve pipe (40).In addition, elongated raised (168) can engage the tissue at biopsy site So that label (160) is fastened at biopsy site, so as to prevent label (160) mobile.
Fig. 6 shows another exemplary surrogate markers thing (260), and the label (260) can be attached to or instead of upper State label (60) and used.The label (260) of this example may be largely analogous to label (60).For example, as mark Remember thing (60) equally, label (160) can include biodegradable or otherwise absorbable body (262). However, unlike caning absorb body (62), absorbable body (262) can include the mixture of at least two materials.For example, originally showing The absorbable body (262) of example can include substantially of a cylindrical shape collagen center section (261), two hydrogel stage casings Partly (263) and two collagen end sections (265).Body (62) is can absorb as described above, and absorbable body (262) can be wrapped Metal, usual radiopaque labelled element (264) (being shown in phantom) are included, the labelled element (264) is arranged on absorbable In body (262), or otherwise by absorbable body (262) carrying.However, unlike labelled element (64), this example Labelled element (264) generally can be with center distort (264) rectangle, so as to be configured to strengthen labelled element (264) Radiography observability.It can be used for the material to form labelled element (264) it is to be further understood that metal is only one kind An illustrated examples.In view of the teachings contained herein, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill of the art that can use each Plant other suitable materials.
Fig. 7 shows another exemplary surrogate markers thing (360), and the label (360) can be attached to or replace Above-mentioned label (60) and used.The label (360) of this example may be largely analogous to label (60).Such as mark Remember that thing (60) equally label (360) can include biodegradable or otherwise absorbable body (362).So And, unlike caning absorb body (62), absorbable body (362) can include the mixing of at least two materials.For example, this example Absorbable body (362) can include the substantially of a cylindrical shape collagen shell (361) with hydrogel core (363). Body (62) is can absorb as described above, and metal, usual radiopaque labelled element can be included by caning absorb body (362) (364) (it is shown in phantom), the labelled element (364) is arranged in absorbable body (362), or otherwise by that can inhale Receive body (362) carrying.However, unlike labelled element (64), the labelled element (364) of this example generally can be with center Distort (364) rectangle, so as to be configured to strengthen labelled element (364) radiography observability.It is to be further understood that Metal is only the illustrated examples that one kind can be used for forming the material of labelled element (364).In view of the teachings contained herein, it is right It is evident that various other suitable materials can be used for those of ordinary skill in the art.
Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 show exemplary replacement sleeve pipe (440), and the sleeve pipe (440) can be merged into above-mentioned biopsy marker Device (10).The sleeve pipe (440) of this example may be largely analogous to above-mentioned sleeve pipe (40), except it indicated in addition herein Outside.For example, sleeve pipe (440) can include elongated tubular product axle (441), the tubulose axle (441) is included close to distal tip (444) side To hole (442), and extend through the casing cavity (448) of sleeve pipe (440).However, unlike sleeve pipe (40), sleeve pipe (440) can be with Including protective metal shell (452), the sheath (452) is set at least a portion of the distal tip of sleeve pipe (440).It should also manage Solution, metal is only the illustrated examples that one kind can be used for forming the material of sheath (452).In view of this paper religion Lead, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill of the art that various other suitable materials can be used.Protective metal shell (452) distal end that may be constructed to sleeve pipe (440) provides structural strengthening.For example, during sleeve pipe (40) is used, protective metal shell (452) the distal end flexing of sleeve pipe (440) can be prevented, or is otherwise deformed.Additionally or alternatively, sleeve pipe is worked as (440) when being formed by the material with the hardness low compared with protective metal shell (452), protective metal shell (452) can prevent sleeve pipe (440) The edge of the relatively soft material sidewise hole that is defined biopsy needle wipe off or shave off, sleeve pipe (440) inserts the biopsy needle In.
The sidewise hole (442) of this example is desirably integrated on both sleeve pipe (440) and protective metal shell (452).Such as Fig. 8 institutes Show, cut out sidewise hole (442) on sleeve pipe (440) and protective metal shell (452) at a certain angle so that sleeve pipe (440) and metal Sheath (452) is collectively forming the chamfered edge (445,454,456) of alignment.For example, protective metal shell (452) can be oblique including distal side Trimming edge (454) and nearside chamfered edge (456).The distal side chamfered edge (454) of protective metal shell (452) can be with distal side point Ramp portion (446) alignment of (444) is held, wherein distal side chamfered edge (454) and ramp portion (446) is with essentially similar Angle orientation.Similarly, the nearside chamfered edge that the nearside chamfered edge (456) of protective metal shell (452) can be with sleeve pipe (445) it is aligned, wherein proximal edges (445,456) are oriented with essentially similar angle.
Chamfered edge (445,454,456) and ramp portion (446) can be inclined at an angle, and the angle is suitable to reduce Wound to tissue remains in that sidewise hole (442) has for sufficiently large size of the label (60) by it simultaneously. In this example, inclination angle the inclining than nearside chamfered edge (456,445) of distal side chamfered edge (454) and ramp portion (446) Oblique angle is steeper.Although show distal side chamfered edge (454) and ramp portion (446) and distal side chamfered edge (445,456) it Between particular kind of relationship, it should be appreciated that be not intended to and any limitation carried out to the example that shows, and in view of the teachings contained herein, To those skilled in the art it is understood that in other examples, each inclination angle can change.
As shown in figure 9, the distal tip (444) and axle (441) of this example are integrated.Distal tip (444) and axle (441) can To be configured to receive protective metal shell (452) so that protective metal shell (452) provides the support to distal tip (444).In some changes In type, protective metal shell (452) can be attached to distal tip (444) and axle (441) for example, by post forming so that distal side Sophisticated (444) and axle (441) injection molding are into protective metal shell (452).In other examples, protective metal shell (452) can lead to Cross adhesive bonding, mechanical fasteners or any other suitable fastening means and be simply attached to distal tip (444) and axle (441)。
The protective metal shell (452) of this example includes the biocompatible material of metal, such as stainless steel, titanium, and/or it is any its Its suitable metal.It is not intended to and any limitation is carried out to these examples.For example, in other examples, protective metal shell (452) can be with Including relative to axle (441) and the relatively closely knit plastics of distal tip (444).In still other example, protective metal shell (452) can With including ceramic material.In other example, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill of the art that protective metal shell (452) it can be made up of any other suitable material.
Figure 10 to Figure 11 C show exemplary surrogate markers thing conveying device (510), the marker delivery device (510) It is similar to above-mentioned marker delivery device (10).For example, marker delivery device (510) can include body (520) and set Manage (540).Body (520) can include thin-long casing (522), handle (524) and plunger (528).Housing (522) can be with base Above-mentioned housing (22) is similar in sheet.However, unlike housing (22), as will be described in detail below, the housing (522) of this example can With the additional component including being configured to provide the multiple activation points for being used for plunger (528).
Similar to above-mentioned plunger (28), the plunger (528) of this example can be positioned at the proximal end of axle (530), axle (530) Extend longitudinally through body (520) and sleeve pipe (540).Above-mentioned plunger (28) is also similarly to, for example, the plunger of this example (528) it can be used together with handle (524), the handle is used for singlehanded driving marker delivery device (510).However, not Plunger (28) is same as, as will be described in detail below, the plunger (528) of this example can be configured to multiple activation points.
Sleeve pipe (540) may be largely analogous to above-mentioned sleeve pipe (40), and can include distally extending from housing (522) Elongated tubular product axle.Usually, the length that sleeve pipe (540) can be suitably inserted into biopsy device or targeting group with distally extending one section Degree so that sleeve pipe (540) extends to biopsy site, to be conveyed by the sidewise hole (542) close to the distal end of sleeve pipe (540) Any one in label (60,160,260,360) described herein.
Figure 11 A to Figure 11 C show the exemplary mode of operation of marker delivery device (510).Can be with such as from Figure 11 A See, the plunger (528) of body (520) originates in initial proximal position., can be with when plunger (528) is located at initial position Marker delivery device (510) is inserted in biopsy device or targeting group, the sidewise hole (542) of sleeve pipe (540) is positioned At biopsy site, for example, sidewise hole (542) can longitudinally and angularly with biopsy device or the similar side of targeting group It is aligned to hole.
Once marker delivery device (510) is positioned in biopsy device or targeting group, user may expect by Label (60,160,260,360) is placed at biopsy site.In order to so place label (60,160,260,360), make User can make plunger (528) proceed to part activation point as shown in Figure 11 B.In this example, housing (522) includes each Kind part, the various parts are constructed such that axle (530) advances, when plunger (528) proceeds to part activation point, to incite somebody to action Label (60,160,260,360) is ejected from sidewise hole (542).
In some instances, after deployment label (60,160,260,360), it may be desirable to by sleeve pipe (540) in biopsy Rotated in device or targeting group.For example, after deployment label (60,160,260,360), label (60,160, 260th, the sidewise hole (542) of sleeve pipe (540) can 360) be remained relatively close to so that label (60,160,260,360) At least a portion can be entered back into sidewise hole (542).In this case, removing marker delivery device (510) may Label (60,160,260,360) is caused to damage, because label (60,160,260,360) may be trapped in sidewise hole (542) between biopsy device or the corresponding sidewise hole of targeting group.Therefore, marker delivery device (510) typically can be with Be configured to optionally revoling tube (540), for example, be easy to remove sleeve pipe (540), without make label (60,160,260, 360) it is stuck between sidewise hole (542) and biopsy device or the corresponding sidewise hole of targeting group.
As shown in Figure 11 C, plunger (528) proceeds to complete activation point to start relative to body (520) revoling tube (540).It should be appreciated that can include in order to realize this function, in housing (522) spring, lever, gear, cam or It can assemble to cause the other machinery equipment that sleeve pipe (540) rotates.In view of the teachings contained herein, for ordinary skill people Member for it is evident that can use various parts and feature with response to plunger (528) relative to body (520) it is complete before And then this rotation of the sleeve pipe (540) relative to body (520) is provided.It should be appreciated that in this example, housing (522) Preceding sections can be configured to by sleeve pipe (540) relative to body (520) rotate such as 180 °.In other examples, housing (522) it can be configured to sleeve pipe (540) rotating any suitable angle relative to body.Only by way of example, housing (522) can be configured to sleeve pipe (540) being rotated by 90 °, 270 ° or any other suitable radial distance.
Once plunger (528) has progressed to complete activation point with revoling tube (540), for example, can be by label Conveying device (510) is removed from biopsy device or targeting group.Alternatively, in some instances, marker delivery device (510) It can be equipped to dispose multiple labels (60,160,260,360).In such examples, alternatively, housing (522) can be with structure Cause, when plunger (528) is retracted, sleeve pipe (540) to be returned into its home position, for dispose another label (60, 160、260、360).Said sequence can restart again.Although it should be appreciated that said sequence is described as including by making Two discontinuous advances of the plunger (528) of user's driving, in other examples, alternatively, plunger (528) can be with single file Journey mode is advanced.In this illustration, in addition to other aspects, label (60,160,260,360) can be disposed, and Then can revoling tube (540) immediately.
Figure 12-Figure 14 shows another exemplary surrogate markers thing conveying device (610), the marker delivery device (610) it is similar to above-mentioned marker delivery device (10).For example, marker delivery device (610) can include body (620) with And sleeve pipe (640).Body (620) can include thin-long casing (622), handle (624) and plunger (628).Housing (622), Handle (624) and plunger (628) may be largely analogous to above-mentioned housing (22), handle (24) and plunger (28), therefore Each details of these parts, which will not be in, is described herein as middle repetition.
Sleeve pipe (640) can be that sleeve pipe (640) can be included from housing with above-mentioned sleeve pipe (40) substantially similar part (522) distally extending elongated tubular product axle.Usually, as shown in Figure 12 to Figure 14, sleeve pipe (640) can be with distally extending one Section is suitably inserted into the length of biopsy device or targeting group so that sleeve pipe (640) extends to biopsy site to convey herein Any one in the label (60,160,260,360) of description.However, the sleeve pipe (640) of this example different from sleeve pipe (40) Can be without sidewise hole.On the contrary, sleeve pipe (640) can include for example unlimited distal tip (644), the distal tip (644) Connected with the casing cavity (648) for extending through sleeve pipe (640).Thus, sleeve pipe (640) can be configured to by unlimited distal side point (644) are held longitudinally to dispose label (60).
Such as it can most find out from Figure 13 and Figure 14, sleeve pipe (640) can also include the depression (50) similar to sleeve pipe (40) Multiple depressions (650).For example, depression (650) is generally configured to and label (60) optionally is maintained at into sleeve pipe (240) It is interior.Depression (650) can include the hemispherical shape for being substantially similar to above-mentioned depression (50).However, with set illustrated above (40) difference is managed, the sleeve pipe (640) of this example can include three depressions (650).As it will be seen from figure 14 that depression (650) it can be oriented around the internal diameter of sleeve pipe (640) with equidistance.It should be appreciated that such as above-mentioned depression (50), in view of this Text teaching, to those skilled in the art it is understood that the depression (650) of this example can include it is any Other suitable shapes and/or construction.
Figure 15 and Figure 16 show exemplary replacement sleeve pipe (740), and the sleeve pipe (740) can be merged into above-mentioned biopsy mark Thing device (10).The sleeve pipe (740) of this example may be largely analogous to above-mentioned sleeve pipe (40), except it indicated in addition herein Outside.For example, the sleeve pipe (740) of this example can include elongated tubular product axle (741), the tubulose axle (741) is included close to distal side point Hold the sidewise hole (742) of (744).Axle (741) can further limit casing cavity (748), and the casing cavity (748) extends through set Manage (740) and connected with sidewise hole (742).It is different from sleeve pipe (40), the sidewise hole (742) of sleeve pipe (740) can have with The tear-drop shape that sidewise hole (742) extends and broadened to nearside.Thus, for example, the distal part of sidewise hole (742) can compare side Portions of proximal to hole (742) is narrow.It should be appreciated that in some instances, at least a portion of sidewise hole (742) is (for example The distal part of sidewise hole (742)) there can also be slightly smaller dimension relative to above-mentioned sidewise hole (42).This size can permit Perhaps sidewise hole (742) accommodates for example less label.
