Description
In Adern einsetzbarer BlutfilterBlood filter that can be used in veins
Die Erfindung betrifft einen in Adern einsetzbaren Blutfilter, der zur Behandlung emboliegefährdeter Personen verwendbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Injektionssystem, mit dem derartige Blutfilter in Adern einsetzbar sind.The invention relates to a blood filter that can be used in veins can be used for the treatment of people at risk of embolism. The invention relates to also an injection system with which such blood filters can be used in veins.
Als vorsorgliche Maßnahme zur Verhütung einer Embolie ist neben chemotherapeutischen und anderen Maßnahmen auch bekannt, Blutfilter in die Adern einzusetzen. Diese Blutfilter sollen verhindern, daß verschleppte Blutgerinsel in den Adern, die z. B. nach einer Operation auftreten können, im siutsefäßsystem weiterwandern und an einer engen Stelle des Blutgefäßsystems den Blutstrom unterbrechen und dadurch eine Embolie auslösen.As a precautionary measure to prevent an embolism is next to chemotherapeutic and other measures also known to insert blood filters into the veins. These blood filters to prevent entrained blood clots in the veins that z. B. after a Surgery can occur, migrate further in the vascular system and at a narrow one Cut off the blood flow in the blood vessel system, causing an embolism trigger.
Die bekannten Blutfilter sind einfache Sperrfilter, die das Blutgerinsel am Weiterströmen hindern, mit denen aber das Blutgerinsel nicht entnommen werden kann. Diese Blutfilter sind auch nur unter vergleichsweise großem Aufwand in die Adern einzusetzen.The well-known blood filters are simple blocking filters that remove blood clots prevent it from flowing further, but with which the blood clot is not removed can. These blood filters are also only available with a comparatively large amount of effort Insert wires.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Blutfilter anzugeben, der auf einfache Weise in Adern einsetzbar und zusammen mit dem Blutgerinsel wieder entnehmbar sein soll. Weiterhin soll der Blutfilter am Ort seines Einsatzes in der Ader sicher gehalten werden.The invention is based on the object of specifying a blood filter, which can easily be used in cores and together with that Blood clots should be removable again. Furthermore, the blood filter should be at its place Use to be held securely in the vein.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Filter faltbar ist und im aufgefalteten Zustand ein Teil des Filters anströmseitig eine Anlagefläche für die Adernwand bildet.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the filter is foldable and in the unfolded state a part of the filter on the inflow side Forms contact surface for the vein wall.
Aufgrund seiner Faltbarkeit läßt sich ein derartiger Blutfilter so eng zusammenpressen, daß er mittels eine Katheters oder einer Injektionsnadel in die Adern einsetzbar ist. Nach Freigabe durch den Katheter spreitzt der Filter sich so weit auf, daß er mit seiner Anlageflache an der Innenwand der Ader klemmend anliegt.Because of its foldability, such a blood filter can be designed like this press tightly together so that it can be inserted into the cores can be used. When released by the catheter, the filter spreads so far that it rests with its contact surface on the inner wall of the wire in a clamping manner.
Damit der Filter spreizbar wird, kann der Filter eine Eigenspannung aufweisen, die den Filter aus dem zusammengelegten in den aufgefalteten Zustand selbsttätig überführt. Die Eigenspannung kann dabei aufgrund von Materialeigenschaften des Filters oder durch spezielle Spreizelemente hervorgerufen werden.In order for the filter to be expandable, the filter can have its own stress have the filter from the folded to the unfolded state transferred automatically. The internal stress can be due to material properties of the filter or by special spreading elements.
Weiterhin kann bei dem Filter im Inneren ein Faltgestänge vorgesehen sein, über das die Aufspreizung des Filters bewirkt wird. Vorteilhaft weist dieses Faltgestänge eine Zug- oder Schubstange auf, die zumindest mit einem Ende außerhalb des Filters reicht und somit durch das Katheter oder die Injektionsnadel betätigt werden kann.Furthermore, a folding linkage can be provided in the interior of the filter through which the spreading of the filter is effected. This advantageously shows Folding linkage a pull or push rod with at least one The end outside the filter extends through the catheter or the injection needle can be operated.
Zur. Erreichung eines Festsitzes des Filters in. der Ader, der teilweise schon durch die Spreizwirkung erreicht wird, kann zusätzlich noch die Anlagefläche eine die Haftung an der Adernwand erhöhende Struktur aufweisen.To the. Achieving a tight fit of the filter in. The vein, which is partially is already achieved by the spreading effect, the contact surface can also be used have a structure that increases adhesion to the vein wall.
Weiterhin wird ein Festsitz des Filters über den gesamten Innenumfang der Ader dadurch erreicht, daß die Anlagefläche des Filters ringförmig ausgebildet ist und aus einzelnen, auffaltbaren Kreisringsegmenten besteht. Im Blut mitgeführtes Blutgerinsel kann folglich nicht an dem Filter vorbeiströmen, sondern wird zwangsweise durch den Filter geführt, wo das Gerinsel festgehalten wird.Furthermore, a tight fit of the filter over the entire inner circumference the wire is achieved in that the contact surface of the filter is annular and consists of individual, foldable annulus segments. Carried in the blood As a result, blood clots cannot flow past the filter, but become compulsory passed through the filter where the clot is captured.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden im folgenden näher beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing and are described in more detail below.
Es zeigen: Figur 1 einen Schnitt eines konischen und selbstspreizenden Blutfilters gemäß der Erfindung, Figur 2 einen Schnitt des Blutfilters in einer weiteren Ausführungsform, Figur 3 ein Injektionssystem mit eingesetztem Blutfilter.They show: FIG. 1 a section of a conical and self-expanding one Blood filter according to the invention, Figure 2 shows a section of the blood filter in one further embodiment, Figure 3 shows an injection system with an inserted Blood filter.
Figur 4 eine dritte Ausführungsform des Blutfilters in der Seitenansicht und im Schnitt quer zu seiner Längsachse.FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the blood filter in a side view and in section transversely to its longitudinal axis.
In den Figuren sind die erfindungsgemäßen Blutfilter, die emboliegefährdeten Personen in die Adern eingesetzt werden können, in vergrößerter Darstellung gezeigt. Die Blutfilter 1 sind konisch ausgebildet und lassen sich nach Art eines Faltenfilters zusammenlegen bzw. aufspreizen. Die Konusöffnung des Filters ist auf der Anströmseite angeordnet. Blut, das Blutgerinsel mit sich führt, trittt durch die Konusöffnung in den Filter ein.In the figures, the blood filters according to the invention are those at risk of embolism Persons into the veins can be inserted, shown in an enlarged view. The blood filters 1 are conical and can be designed in the manner of a pleated filter fold or spread apart. The cone opening of the filter is on the upstream side arranged. Blood, carrying clots, passes through the opening of the cone into the filter.
Auf Grund der Maschenweite oder Porengröße des Filters wird das Blutgerinsel im Filter zurückgehalten und das Blut kann ohne nennenswerten Widerstand das Filter passieren. In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist die Strömungsrichtung des Blutes durch Pfeile angedeutet. Selbstverständlich ist der Filter aus gewebeverträglichem Kunststoff oder anderen verträglichen Materialien hergestellt. Derartige Materialien sind dem Fachmann bekannt und brauchen daher nicht besonders erwähnt zu werden.Due to the mesh size or pore size of the filter, the blood clot becomes retained in the filter and the blood can pass through the filter without significant resistance happen. In Figures 1 and 2, the direction of blood flow is indicated by arrows indicated. It goes without saying that the filter is made of fabric-compatible plastic or other compatible materials. Such materials are the Known to those skilled in the art and therefore do not need to be specifically mentioned.
Figur 1 zeigt einen Blutfilter, der aufgrund seiner Materialeigenschaften und seiner Herstellung eine derartige Eigenspannung aufweist, daß er nach der Freigabe durch das Injektionssystem sich selbsttätig aufspreizt und mit seiner Anlagefläche 2 an die Innenseite der Adernwand anlegt. Die Anlagefläche 2, die zylindrisch ausgebildet ist, bildet den Abschluß des Filters auf der Anstömseite. Auf ihrer Außenfläche weist die Anlagefläche 2 eine feine Struktur 3 auf, die den Halt des Filters an der Innenwand der Ader verbessert. Die Struktur 3 kann z. B. aus kleinen Widerhaken bestehen.Figure 1 shows a blood filter, due to its Material properties and its production has such an internal stress that it after release by the injection system spreads itself automatically and with its contact surface 2 on the inside of the vein wall. The contact surface 2, which is cylindrical is, forms the end of the filter on the upstream side. On their outer surface the contact surface 2 has a fine structure 3 that holds the filter the inner wall of the vein improved. The structure 3 can e.g. B. from small barbs exist.
Der Blutfilter der Figur 2 ist ähnlich gestaltet wie der im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Im Inneren weist dieser Filter ein Faltgestänge 4 auf, das mit seinen Faltarmen 5 an der Innenseite des Filters angreift. Durch Zug an der zentralen Zugstange 6 des Faltgestänges kann der Filter, z. B. bei der Entnahme aus der Ader, schirmförmig zusammengelegt werden. Der Katheter oder die Injektionsnadel ergreift dabei das Zugende der Stange 6, das außerhalb des Filters reicht. Möglich ist ferner, daß bei der Entnahme der Katheter außen über über den Filter greift und den Filter mit seinem Inhalt umschließt.The blood filter of Figure 2 is designed similar to that in the first Embodiment. Inside, this filter has a folding rod 4 that engages with its folding arms 5 on the inside of the filter. By train on the central pull rod 6 of the folding rod, the filter, for. B. when removing from the vein, can be put together in an umbrella shape. The catheter or injection needle takes hold of the pulling end of the rod 6, which extends outside the filter. Possible is also that when removing the catheter reaches outside over the filter and encloses the filter with its content.
Der Filter der Figur 2 kann sich beim Einsetzen entweder durch Eigenspreizung entfalten oder aber auch durch Zug an der Zugstange 6 des Faltgestänges in entgegengesetzter Richtung aufgefaltet werden. In weiterer Ausbildung des Filters können beim Aufspreizen einige der Faltarme 5 des Faltgestänges durch Öffnungen (nicht gezeigt) der Filterwandung greifen und sich an der Aderwandung anlegen. Zur Verbesserung des Haltes können diese Faltarme an ihren ausgefahrenen Enden kleine Widerhaken aufweisen. Beim Zusammenlegen des Filters werden die Faltarme durch die Öffnungen wieder in den Filter zurückgezogen.The filter of FIG. 2 can either be self-expanding when inserted unfold or by train on the pull rod 6 of the folding rod unfolded in the opposite direction. In further training of the filter can when spreading some of the folding arms 5 of the folding rod through openings (not shown) grab the filter wall and lay against the core wall. To the These folding arms can improve the hold at their extended ends Have barbs. When folding the filter, the folding arms are through the Openings pulled back into the filter.
Bei den beiden Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Anlagefläche des Filters relativ breit gehalten. Für die Anlage an der Aderninnenwand kann es vollkommen ausreichend sein, wenn die Anlagefläche als ringförmige Wulst gestaltet ist, wobei zur Erzielung der Faltbarkeit die Wulst aus einzelnen, auffaltbaren Kreisringsegmenten besteht. Die einzelnen Kreisringsegmente können über Scharniere miteinander verbunden sein. Die Segmente können aber auch so zueinander angeordnet sein, daß sie sich beim Falten übereinanderlegen oder bei axial versetzten Segmenten hintereinander liegen.In the two exemplary embodiments, the contact surface is the filter kept relatively wide. For the plant on the inner wall of the veins, it can be perfect be sufficient if the contact surface is designed as an annular bead, with To achieve the foldability, the bead made of individual, foldable circular ring segments consists. The individual circular ring segments can be connected to one another via hinges be. The segments can, however, also be arranged to one another so that they are superimpose when folding or one behind the other with axially offset segments lie.
Figur 3 zeigt einen für den Einsatz vorbereiteten Blutfilter in der Spitze einer Injektionsnadel. Durch Schub des Kolbens wird der Filter aus der Nadel mit dem Konusende voraus in die Ader gedrückt. Es ist vorgesehen, daß dem behandelnden Arzt ein komplettes Injektionssystem zur Verfügung gestellt wird, in dem ein oder mehrere Katheter zusammen mit Blutfiltern verschiedener Größen steril verpackt vorliegen. Aus dem Filtersortiment kann der Arzt dann das passende Blutfilter auswählen.FIG. 3 shows a blood filter prepared for use in the The tip of a hypodermic needle. The filter is removed from the needle by pushing the piston pressed into the vein with the cone end first. It is provided that to the a complete injection system is made available to the attending physician the one or more catheters along with blood filters of various sizes sterile present packed. The doctor can then select the right blood filter from the range of filters choose.
Figur 4 zeigt den Blutfilter in einer dritten Ausführungsform, bei der der Blutfilter im aufgespreizten Zustand im wesentlichen eine zylindrische Form annimmt.FIG. 4 shows the blood filter in a third embodiment that of the blood filter in the expanded state is essentially cylindrical in shape accepts.
Der Blutfilter gemäß Figur 4 besitzt in seiner Filterfläche in Richtung der Filterlängsachse verlaufende Anlagestege 12. Die Stege 12, von denen im Ausführungsbeispiel acht vorhanden sind, sind vorzugsweise radialsymmetrisch um die Filterlängsachse angeordnet, wie dies insbesondere aus der Schnittdarstellung ersichtlich ist.The blood filter according to FIG. 4 has its filter surface in the direction the longitudinal axis of the filter contact webs 12. The webs 12, of which in the embodiment eight are present, are preferably radially symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the filter arranged, as can be seen in particular from the sectional view.
