Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to surgical devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved sternum clamping devices and methods to reapproximate a patient's sternum following a partial median sternotomy.
  • a partial or median sternotomy is a procedure by which a saw or other appropriate cutting instrument is used to make a midline, longitudinal incision along a portion or the entire axial length of the patient's sternum, allowing two opposing sternal halves to be separated laterally. A large opening into the thoracic cavity is thus created, through which a surgeon may directly visualize and operate upon the heart and other thoracic organs or tissues. Following such a procedure, the two severed sternal halves must be reapproximated.
  • the cut ends of the steel wires are also sharp and can pierce through the surgeon's gloves or fingers.
  • the small diameter of the steel wires can cause the wires to migrate into or through the tissue surrounding the sternum region or into the sternal bone itself over time and result in sternal disintegration into small segments. This can lead to significant patient pain and discomfort in addition to slowing the postoperative recovery and increasing the risk of sternal infection.
  • the strap mechanisms of band assemblies are often relatively structurally complex and are difficult to precisely apply about the sternum. There are also healing problems associated with the use of steel wires and band assemblies due to improper forces exerted by these devices which can cause unwanted bone movements leading to raking and rubbing of surrounding tissue or bone.
  • the instant invention spans the width of at least two interspaces, thus eliminating the need for more than one device for tight/secured closure over the same sternal area.
  • the four securing leg and foot structures of the instant invention improve pulmonary mechanics by assisting in the alignment of ribs across the sternotomy allowing for simultaneous right and left rib elevation symmetrically across the sternum and chest.
  • the projection member structures of the instant invention leverage the tight connections provided by fascia and muscle, strengthens pulmonary compliance and allows for distribution of energy and positioning strength to be spread evenly throughout the sternum.
  • the instant invention enables fragmented segments of the sternum to be held in place for healing, as opposed to single plate structures of the contemporary art which concentrate (as opposed to distribute) energy occasionally to a crushing central point thereby allowing laterally displaced fragments to further displace.
  • the present invention provides an improved device and method for re-approximating the sternal halves of a patient's sternum following a median or partial sternotomy, and facilitates ready access to the thoracic cavity during or after a medical procedure advanced the art by overcoming the sternal nonunion problems inherent in prior art devices.
  • the present invention advances the present art and provides for an improved sternum clamping device which employs first and second attachment structures; and angled foot members which facilitate tilting divided sternal plates upward in apposition to each other avoiding prevent downward deflection to enhance healing.
  • the following disclosure teaches the structure and practice of a method for a sternal closure device, which comprises impermanently joined, sliding and receiving attachment structures that are adapted for intercostal positioning between at least two correspondingly positioned rib pairs substantially surrounding a patient's sternum with each structure having a cross member, a plurality of integrated leg and foot portions, a plurality of sternum engagement surfaces, and an end portion.
  • the instant invention disclosed herein advances the art and is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 10/001,988, filed Oct. 31, 2001. Said previously filed parent application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • Another significant object of the instant invention is to facilitate sternum closure via two separate attachment structures from opposing sides which decreases the amount of metal needed for clamping/securing structures.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide for two independently adjustable locking means which distribute the strength of a sternum closure, equally and laterally, and essentially appose opposing rib segments along the same plane.
  • Another object of the instant invention is to provide a device wherein the width of two separate sequentially occurring rip intraspaces are associated with the invention's clamping structures to eliminate need for multiple devices to facilitate sternum closure over the same area.
  • a further object of the instant invention is to provide a small locking member and clamping apparatus which results in decreased apparatus profile and weight but not closure strength.
  • Yet another object of the instant invention is to provide for a single locking mechanism which improves pulmonary mechanics by assisting in the alignment of the ribs across a sternotomy, thus permitting simultaneous right and left rib elevation symmetrically across the sternum and chest.
  • a further object of the instant invention is to provide for a single locking mechanism which leverages ribs connected by fascia and muscle strengthening pulmonary compliance.
  • An additional object of the instant invention is to provide a mechanism and method by which the distribution of closure energy and strength are spread evenly throughout the sternum enabling even fragmented segments of the sternum to be held in place for healing.
  • Yet another object of the instant invention is to provide an apparatus by which the strength of the sternal closure is actually increased and distributed by means of a double clamping mechanism over a correspondingly positioned rib pair.
  • An additional further object of the instant invention is to provide an apparatus by which the alignment of apposing ribs actually increases the strength of the closure as well as pulmonary force expiratory volume.
  • Yet another object of the instant invention is to provide an apparatus in which the edges are smooth to prevent dehiscence or extrusion.
  • Another object of the instant invention is to provide for an easily accessible and expeditious means by which sliding and receiving attachment structures may be engaged to, and disengaged from on another.
  • Another object of the instant invention is its single set screw which when removed, allows rapid, complete disarticulation of the apparatus allowing almost instantaneous surgical access in the event of an emergency procedure.
