Description

Medical Device and Method
The present invention relates to medical devices, in particular devices for collecting bodily matter created during a surgical operation. Devices in accordance with the present invention may collect debris generated during cutting of a bone.
During orthopaedic surgery, debris from bone and cartilage is created by the instruments used to prepare the bone, for example cutting tools such as reamers. For example, during a hip resurfacing operation, bone debris is created from the instruments used to prepare the femoral head to the required dimensions. Hip resurfacing procedures involve reaming the femoral head and drilling a centralised stem hole. These procedures produce a significant amount of bone debris which is dispersed widely in the surrounding tissues. The greatest amount of debris is created when using a chamfer cutter.
Bone debris is problematic in a surgical site for a number of reasons. The debris can obstruct the surgeon's view of the surgical site, which may compromise the operation. The debris can also compromise the operation of surgical instruments, for example by getting caught in any moving parts. It is also essential during surgery to keep the wound clean. Bone debris may lead to heterotopic ossification. Moderate to severe heterotopic ossification can negate the benefits of replacement surgery and reducing bone debris has been shown to reduce the incidence of heterotopic ossification.
It is known to cover the surgical site with swabs in order to minimise the amount of bone debris entering the surgical site. For example, during hip resurfacing the area below the femoral neck is commonly covered using swabs in order to minimise the amount of bone debris entering the acetabulum. However, swabs can also obstruct the surgeon's view of the surgical site. Swabs can also compromise the operation of surgical instruments because the fibres of the swab can get caught in moving parts, for example a femoral reamer.
In addition to the use of swabs, the wound needs to be fully cleaned on completion of the operation in order to remove any bone debris or swab fibres. It is an aim of the present invention to provide a device for collecting bodily matter such as bone debris from a surgical site that overcomes the problems associated with known surgical techniques.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for collecting bone debris, comprising: a receptacle having an opening, the receptacle opening being disposed with respect to a cutting tool such that, in use, bone debris produced by the cutting tool is received by the receptacle.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for collecting bone debris, comprising: a receptacle having an opening, the receptacle opening being disposed with respect to the cutting tool such that, in use, bone debris produced by the cutting tool is received by the receptacle, wherein the opening of the receptacle has dimensions corresponding to those of the cutting tool.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the receptacle may have an outer periphery that matches the outer periphery of the cutting tool.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cutting tool has a substantially circular outer periphery and the receptacle has a substantially circular outer periphery, wherein the diameter of the outer periphery of the cutting tool is substantially the same as the diameter of the outer periphery of the receptacle.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for collecting bone debris, comprising: a receptacle having an opening, the receptacle opening being disposed with respect to the cutting tool such that, in use, bone debris produced by the cutting tool is received by the receptacle, wherein the cutting tool has an outer periphery and the receptacle is shaped so that it does not extend beyond the outer periphery of the cutting tool.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the receptacle does not extend beyond the diameter of the cutting tool. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the receptacle is substantially the same or less than the diameter of the cutting tool.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a kit of parts, comprising: a receptacle according to the first, second or third aspects of the present invention; and a plurality of cutting tools according to the first, second or third aspects of the present invention, the cutting tools differing in size.
The kit of parts provides a modular system in which a particular receptacle fits (is compatible with) multiple cutting tools of different sizes. Modular systems may also be provided comprising a plurality of receptacle sizes, each receptacle being compatible with a plurality of cutting tools. For example, the or each receptacle may be compatible with three different size cutting tools.
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for cutting bone, comprising: a cutting portion having a distal surface and a proximal surface, wherein the distal surface has at least one cutting means; and a receptacle disposed with respect to the proximal surface of the cutting portion such that, in use, bone debris produced by the cutting portion is received by the receptacle.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cutting portion comprises at least one conduit disposed such that bone can move through the cutting portion from the distal surface to the receptacle via the or each conduit.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one conduit forms a cutting means on the distal surface of the cutting portion.
Devices according to the present invention have a number of advantages. They collect bone debris as it is produced by the cutting tool. Accordingly, bone debris is not dispersed into the surgical site and surrounding tissues. The surgeon therefore does not have to rely on swabs and thorough cleaning. The surgeon can also perform the operation without obstruction of his view of the surgical site. The risk of bone debris becoming caught in moving parts is also minimised, if not eliminated. Furthermore, the risk of heterotopic ossification is also minimised, if not eliminated.
