Definitions
- the present invention relates to fields of use where cuttings are collected from the action of a cutting tool. Instrumentation and methods are provided for industrial and medical applications.
- the present invention relates to surgical instrumentation and a method of use that allows skeletal tissue collection.
- collected skeletal tissue may be processed and transplanted, preferably within the donor subject to provide an autologous transplant.
- the surgical harvest of bone, with or without marrow components, is a further example of the need for instrumentation for collection of cuttings.
- Harvested bone material is used in treatment of bone defects and diseases.
- the goal of therapeutic transplantation of bone and bone marrow products is the induction or augmentation of bone growth and repair at a defect site or around an implant site.
- Autogenous bone grafts are the gold standard against which all graft materials are measured. Acquisition of fresh autogenous bone transplant material provides all naturally available mitogens and growth factors in physiologic concentrations, viable mesenchymal and progenitor cell populations, and natural bone matrix. Autograft bone has greater osteogenic capacity than either allograft (tissue from donors of the same species) or xenograft (tissue from donors of different species). In comparison to frozen allogenic and decalcified allogenic bone, fresh autogenic cancellous bone grafts lead to healing in most instances. Autogenous bone grafts avoid the potential immunologic and infectious complications associated with allograft materials.

- a surgical instrument of the present invention allows aseptic collection of bone and cartilage cuttings and comprises a tip (10, 100) that contacts bone and guides a cutting tool, a collection chamber (20, 110) that collects and holds bone cuttings, and a cap (30, 140) having a bore that acts as the upper cutting ton) (150) guide and bearing.
- the tip (10, 100) and bearing cap (30, 140) center and allow a cutting tool (150) to be rotated and translated by hand, by using a handchuck, or by use of an external motor.
- a cutting tool such as a drill bit (150)
- the drill bit (150) inserts longitudinally through the body of the invention and serves to cut and grind bone cuttings (195) at its tip and translate the bone cuttings (195) up the tip into the tissue collection chamber (1 10).
- sealing and “bearing” are used interchangeably herein to illustrate that the surface on which a cutting tool runs can be a simple bushing, or a roller bearing that turns with the cutting tool and has no sliding contact between the surface of the tool and the bearing.
- the present invention efficiently combines three processes simultaneously to channel, pull, and fling cuttings resulting from the use of cutting tools into a collection chamber.
- the instrument acts independently from the cutting tool by allowing cutting tool rotation along its longitudinal axis and translation of the cutting tool in and out of the entire instrument without being required to change the speed or translational characteristics of the drill and its motor.
- cuttings are channeled through the action of flutes, pulled through translation of the bit, flung through centripetal forces caused by rotation of the bit, and may be withdrawn using a fourth process through evacuation of the collection chamber using suction.
- a cutting tool may be a tool having a flute, such as for example, a drill bit, bur, grinder, rasp, reamer, milling cutter, or the like.
- a wiper 130, 600, 620, 640 is provided for wiping cuttings (195) from a tool (170) causing the cuttings to be deposited into the collection chamber (110) when the cutting tool is removed from the instrument.

- the teeth and cutter geometry can be chosen to adjust the particle size of bone cuttings.
- the drill may have a large flute volume and low flute angle to facilitate bone cutting movement into the tissue collection chamber.
- Drill bits of most any design may be used, and the quality of the bone cuttings (195) can be optimized through the use of a specialty bit in one embodiment.
- the cutting edge of a specialty drill bit tip has a straight cutting edge (200) on one side, and has a row of grinding teeth (210) on the other side.
- the grinding teeth (210) protrude from the tip of the drill beyond the cutting edge (200) and serve to grind and loosen material for the cutting edge (200) to sever and scrape into the entry to the flute (230).
- Further aspects of a drill bit that are contemplated as part of the present invention include the following.
- a land (220) can be optimized for different applications using different flute volumes and angles to translate bone cuttings (195) or ma ⁇ ow tissue.
- a drill shank (240) without fluted section attaches to a drill motor and serves to stop translation of the drill through the drill wiper (130) through interference between the flute wiper (160) and unfluted section of the drill shank (240).
- the drill shank (240) can be fitted with a calibrated adjustable stop to allow precise control of drill penetration depth.
- the surgical instrument may be a single use device, i.e., a disposable unit that is provided in a sterile package to a user.

- the tissue transplant system may comprise a pump, filter, centrifuge, mixing chamber, settling chamber, conduit, and the like.
- the system may have an applicator for the implantation of collected skeletal tissue.
- Skeletal tissue may be harvested from a variety of sites, such as rib, fibula, iliac bone, cranium, sternum, tibia, or the like.
- a centrifuge may be used to fractionate the harvested tissue and remove red and/or white blood cells; or harvested tissue may be chemically washed so as to increase the bone inductive potential of various proteins and cells while maintaining their viability.
- Processing may include steps to enhance the bone forming potential of said bone cuttings not limited to filtering, rinsing with water, grinding of said bone cuttings, washing with acid solutions, and washing with basic solutions.
- Processed tissue components can be combined or sent separately to the site of implantation through a valve (408) to an encapsulation nozzle (410) where an encapsulant such as algin, poly-L-lysine, collagen, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, methylcellulose, glycerol, saline, calcium phosphate, or calcium carbonate from an encapsulant reservoir (409) can be combined with the tissue.
- an encapsulant such as algin, poly-L-lysine, collagen, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, methylcellulose, glycerol, saline, calcium phosphate, or calcium carbonate from an encapsulant reservoir (409) can be combined with the tissue.
- Encapsulant with tissue (412) or tissue alone can then be applied at a bone (413) defect site with an applicator (411).
- a positive displacement pump (406) provides the positive pressure to move the material through the processing stage and to the implant site.
- Cancellous bone is cell rich and integrates rapidly with recipient bone and is resistant to infection.
- particulate or paste-like bony materials offer considerable advantages.
- Further advantages of fresh autograft bone chips or particles include; high graft surface area facilitating vascularization and remodeling, healing would occur as a "field phenomenon" occurring simultaneously throughout the entire defect, i ⁇ egularly shaped defects can be filled more completely with contact between host site and graft tissues closer and more extensive, and only a small surgical access is necessary to fill a large bone cavity defect.
- An aspect of the invention is the use of the herein described tissue transplant system combined with the addition of growth factors and matrix material to enhance bone wound healing. Addition of such factors and material is expected to optimize the state of the harvested skeletal tissue.
- factors and material include, for example, transforming growth factor beta and alpha, bone mo ⁇ hogenetic protein, platelet derived growth factor, epithelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, vascular permeability factor, mitogens, mesenchymal cells, progenitor cells, and natural bone matrix.
- Procurement of tissue may be separated in time by implantation into the donor or into a different recipient.
- One of skill in the art would realize, in light of this disclosure, how to use the instrumentation of the present invention when tissue is harvested from one patient and implanted into a different patient.
- drilling of skeletal tissue for reconstructive surgery, or for placement of orthopaedic, dental, oral, or maxillofacial implants such as plates, screws, or rods is performed using aseptic technique.
- the drill cuttings are commonly discarded; with use of the present invention, the drill cuttings are collected and can be placed around the implant to further anchor the implant and facilitate healing.
- the invention is used in conjunction with common drill bits and drill motors.
- the method involves aseptic collection and transfer of bone cuttings and/or ma ⁇ ow constituents for immediate transplantation.
- Tissue collected from use of the surgical instrument provided by the present invention is cortical and cancellous bone combined with ma ⁇ ow tissues and blood that form a paste-like graft material.
- This material has paste-like handling properties, high surface area, and a generally open stmcture.
- a drill bit (150) is inserted through the cap (140), wiper bushing (120), drill wiper (130), collection chamber (110) and tip (100). Rotation of the drill bit (150) cuts bone. Bone cuttings (195) are confined within the drill flute (170) by the tip (100). Continued rotation of the drill bit (150) causes translation of the bone cuttings (195) up the inner bore of the tip (100). Bone cuttings (195) that have moved up the tip (100) and into the collection chamber (110) fall from the drill flutes (170) and collect in the collection chamber (1 10).
- Bone cuttings remaining in the drill tip (10, 100) can be pulled into the collection chamber (20, 110) through drill bit translation and cuttings remaining in the drill flutes (170) are removed from the drill flutes (170) by centripetal force, suction, or the drill wiper (130).
- the drill wiper (130) is free to rotate in the wiper bushing (120) along its common axis with the drill bit (150).
- the flute wiper (160) of the drill wiper (130) extends into the drill flute (170) to wipe any residual bone cuttings that have not collected in the collection chamber (110).
- the drill wiper (130) turns with the drill bit when it is rotated along its long axis or when the drill bit is translated through the tip (100), collection chamber (110) and drill wiper (130).
- the tip (100) is connected to the tissue collection chamber body (110).
- the collection chamber (1 10) connects to the wiper bushing (120) which serves as a bearing surface and guide for the drill wiper (130).
- the drill wiper (130) rotates freely in the wiper bushing
- the tip (100), collection chamber (110) and wiper bushing (120) can be combined into one part and fabricated as a disposable instrument.
- the surgical instrument is used with conventional surgical drill bits.
- a drill bit of the appropriate diameter, flute length and overall length is inserted into the appropriate model of the surgical instrument from the cap end.
- the instrument is held in one hand and the tip positioned on bone at the point of drilling.
- bone and /or ma ⁇ ow tissue fragments are ca ⁇ ied up the flutes of the drill bit, through the tip and passively fall from the flutes into the collection chamber.
- the drill bit can extend beyond the tip of the instrument up to about 3-5 inches, and the instrument may be moved in an arc motion so as to harvest tissue from a cone-shaped area of the bone.
- rotating action further acts to displace material from flutes into the collection chamber, and in an embodiment having a wiper, movement of the drill bit through the wiper serves to displace material into the collection chamber.
- a surgical instrument according to the present invention was built and tested in a cadaver and in living animals.
- the device was used with a conventional drill bit in fresh cadaver femoral bones. Bone cuttings were collected following a few revolutions of the drill bit. Cuttings moved up the flute within the confines of the tip. Cuttings exited the flute once they passed the tip and entered the collection chamber. The white color of cortical bone was seen through the collection chamber window and cancellous chips were coated with a small quantity of blood. Six 0.272 inch holes of approximately 2 cm depth were made. With each new hole the collection chamber continued to fill. The large quantity of osseous tissue collected in the chamber quickly obscured the view of the drill.
- the flutes were noted to retain some of the cuttings.
- the drill bit was withdrawn. When removed from the device, the flutes were noted to be clear of cuttings and the cuttings were seen to fall into the collection chamber. The action of the rotating wiper was smooth and did not cause the bit to bind during drilling or withdrawal. At the desired drill depth, the bit could be quickly pushed in and pulled out to collect additional osseous tissue from the margins of the drill hole, or to pump blood into the collection chamber that was hemo ⁇ haging into the site. Use of a vacuum in conjunction with the device could facilitate collection of more blood if clinically advantageous. Once drilling was completed, the drill bit was withdrawn for the final time.
- the cap and wiper bearing are fabricated as one unit, and this unit may be removed together with the rotating flute wiper.
- the collection chamber and tip also may be fabricated as one piece.
- a plunger assembly will connect to the collection chamber and facilitate clearing of the harvested osseous tissue from the device. This plunger assembly would allow harvested osseous tissue to be forced from the collection chamber through the tip to facilitate application to a site of injury, fusion, or implantation. With plunger assembly attached, the device allows placement of collected osseous tissue and blood.
- the collection chamber was emptied of osseous tissue.
- the osseous tissue was noted to consist of coarse cuttings with varied dimensions of approximately 0.5 mm X 4 mm X 8 mm. Blood coated the cuttings, however, no free liquid was present in the collection chamber.
- Tissue was evaluated for volume and the values were compared to theoretical values based on the dimensions of the drill hole; tissue was also evaluated for weight and those values were compared to theoretical weight which was calculated using the density of the bone segment multiplied by the volume of the drill hole.
- the tissue collection data are provided for volume comparisons in Table 1, and for weight comparisons in Table 2.
- the surgical instrument was used in a living animal in both iliac crest and proximal tibial metaphysis sites. Two holes were drilled in each location. The observations made during the drilling of fresh cadaver bone and the sites in the live animal were consistent. Osseous tissue collection was achieved with the bone cuttings having a light coating of blood. Blood in the collection chamber was not of sufficient quantity to form free liquid.
- the two drill holes in the tibia produced 0.45 cc or 0.48 grams of bone.
- the two drill holes in the iliac crest produced 0.91 cc or 1.09 grams of bone.
- a hole drilled in bone to fasten an implant or place a screw can be a source of highly inductive tissue capable of enhancing the healing response of bone, filling large bone defects, or facilitating fusion of unstable or diseased joints.
- compositions and methods disclosed and claimed herein can be made and executed without undue experimentation in light of the present disclosure. While the compositions and methods of this invention have been described in terms of prefe ⁇ ed embodiments, it will be apparent to those of skill in the art that variations may be applied to the composition, methods and in the steps or in the sequence of steps of the method described herein without departing from the concept, spirit and scope of the invention. More specifically, it will be apparent that certain agents which are both chemically and physiologically related may be substituted for the agents described herein while the same or similar results would be achieved. All such similar substitutes and modifications apparent to those skilled in the art are deemed to be within the spirit, scope and concept of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
