Description

Method of loading an implant into an artificial breast implant delivery device

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a method of loading an implant into an artificial breast implant delivery device.

[0002] Breast implants are a product that consistently causes side effects such as inflammation, capsular contracture, and rupture. The most common problem is implant rupture. When an implant ruptures, the gel or saline solution filled within the implant can leak out. This leakage can cause inflammation in body tissues or organs, complications, and even tissue necrosis, leading to a variety of serious side effects. These implant ruptures can be caused by a variety of factors, but they are most often caused by stress or stress concentration on the outer shell of the implant.

[0003] Breast implants are implanted into the body through incisions made in breast augmentation surgery. However, making large incisions can damage the surrounding skin and lead to scarring and complications. Therefore, breast implants are often implanted through narrow incisions. This process, passing through a narrow space, places significant stress on the implant shell, potentially leading to rupture.

[0004] Accordingly, the tapered breast implant delivery device (T) of Fig. 1, which can minimize the incision area during implant implantation, is gaining popularity. This device allows implantation of the implant (B) into the body through a narrowing structure, enabling implantation through minimal incisions, reducing the risk of infection, and offering the advantages of shorter surgery and recovery times.

[0005] However, due to the structure of the tapered artificial breast implant delivery device (T), a large injection force is required for the implant (B) to pass through the narrow opening (T1), and there is concern that if this injection force is applied to the implant, adverse effects such as rupture of the implant may occur.

[0006] To address these issues, a technology has been developed to improve slipperiness by applying a hydrophilic coating to the interior of the implant delivery device. However, the hydrophilic coating within the delivery device has limitations, such as being easily peeled off or exhibiting low slipperiness. Therefore, there is a need for technology that can minimize the stress placed on the implant during implantation.

[0007] The present specification is intended to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and one object of the present specification is to provide a method for loading an artificial breast implant delivery device, which can minimize the stress applied to the artificial breast implant during implantation of the artificial breast implant.

[0008] According to one aspect, a method for loading a prosthesis into an artificial breast prosthesis delivery device is provided, comprising: (a) preparing an artificial breast prosthesis having a lubricant applied thereto; and (b) loading the artificial breast prosthesis having the lubricant applied thereto into an artificial breast prosthesis delivery device, wherein the artificial breast prosthesis delivery device comprises a tapered body having an artificial breast prosthesis accommodated therein and a width that becomes narrower from one side to the other side; and a plurality of vertical grooves formed by being sunken into an inner surface of the body, extending from one side to the other side, and being arranged radially spaced apart from one another.

[0013] In one embodiment, the amount of lubricant applied to the artificial breast implant is 0.01 to 1 ml / cm 2 It could be.

[0014] In one embodiment, the groove spacing between the vertical grooves and adjacent vertical grooves of the artificial breast implant delivery device may become narrower from one side to the other.

[0015] In one embodiment, the vertical grooves of the artificial breast implant delivery device may be arranged at equal intervals from adjacent vertical grooves.

[0016] In one embodiment, the artificial breast implant delivery device may be formed of an elastic material.

[0017] According to another aspect, a method of loading an artificial breast implant into an artificial breast implant delivery device is provided, comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an artificial breast implant having a lubricant applied thereto; and (b) loading the artificial breast implant having the lubricant applied thereto into an artificial breast implant delivery device.

[0034] Method of loading an implant into an artificial breast implant delivery device

[0035] A method of loading an artificial breast implant delivery device according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: (a) preparing an artificial breast implant having a lubricant applied thereto; and (b) loading the artificial breast implant having the lubricant applied thereto into the artificial breast implant delivery device.

[0036] The above artificial breast implant delivery device may include a tapered body that accommodates an artificial breast implant therein and whose width becomes narrower from one side to the other; and a plurality of vertical grooves that are formed by being sunken into the inner surface of the body, extend from one side to the other, and are arranged radially spaced apart from each other.

[0037] The above method can reduce the injection force required for injection of the implant by using an artificial breast implant with a lubricant applied thereto, minimize the stress applied to the implant when implanting the artificial breast implant, and thereby prevent side effects caused by rupture of the artificial breast implant.

[0038] The above lubricant may be one selected from the group consisting of oil, saline solution, hydrophilic lubricant, and combinations of two or more thereof.

[0039] The above lubricant can be applied to the surface of the artificial breast implant by a method such as coating or applying.

[0040] The above step (a) may be a step of preparing an artificial breast implant to which oil has been applied.

[0041] In one embodiment, step (a) may be a step of applying oil to an artificial breast implant. That is, it may be a step of applying oil to the surface of an artificial breast implant prior to loading the artificial breast implant into an artificial breast implant delivery device.

[0042] The above application may be performed by rotating the artificial breast implant so that the oil can be evenly distributed on the surface of the artificial breast implant, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] In another embodiment, step (a) may be a step of preparing an artificial breast implant product to which oil has been applied. The artificial breast implant may be packaged and sold with the oil applied, and in this case, the packaged product may be opened and used as is without additional oil application.

[0044] The above oil may be, but is not limited to, natural oil or silicone oil, and any type of oil that can be applied to the prosthesis may be used.

[0045] The above natural oil may be an oil extracted from a natural substance such as a plant, and may be extracted by a conventional extraction method, but is not limited thereto.

[0046] The above natural oil may be, but is not limited to, an oleic acid-based natural oil or a terpene-based essential oil.

[0047] The above natural oil may be one selected from the group consisting of, but not limited to, aromatic oil, olive oil, soybean oil, camellia oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, macadamia nut oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, mandarin oil, tea tree oil, palmarosa oil, evening primrose oil, lavender oil, and combinations of two or more thereof.

[0048] The above silicone oil may be a silicone oil containing a siloxane series, and for example, a silicone series similar to the main material of artificial breast implants may be used, but is not limited thereto.

[0049] The hydrophilic lubricant may be a substance having a hydrophilic functional group such as hyaluronic acid (HA), cellulose, glycerol, ethylene glycol, sulfonic acid, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0050] The hydrophilic lubricant may be one selected from the group consisting of cellulose, hyaluronic acid, propylene glycol, glycerol, 4,4'-diaminostibene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DASDA), 2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate (DAP), 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate (DCP), N-Tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-amino propanesulfonic acid (TAPS), and a combination of two or more thereof, but is not limited thereto.

[0051] The amount of the lubricant applied to the artificial breast implant is 0.01 to 1 ml / cm 2 It can be. For example, 0.01 ml / cm 2 , 0.02 ml / cm 2 , 0.03 ml / cm 2 , 0.04 ml / cm 2 , 0.05 ml / cm 2 , 0.06 ml / cm 2 , 0.07 ml / cm 2 , 0.08 ml / cm 2 , 0.09 ml / cm 2 , 0.1 ml / cm 2 , 0.11 ml / cm 2, 0.12 ml / cm 2 , 0.13 ml / cm 2 , 0.14 ml / cm 2 , 0.15 ml / cm 2 , 0.16 ml / cm 2 , 0.17 ml / cm 2 , 0.18 ml / cm 2 , 0.19 ml / cm 2 , 0.2 ml / cm 2 , 0.25 ml / cm 2 , 0.3 ml / cm 2 , 0.35 ml / cm 2 , 0.4 ml / cm 2 , 0.45 ml / cm 2 , 0.5 ml / cm 2 , 0.55 ml / cm 2 , 0.6 ml / cm 2 , 0.65 ml / cm 2 , 0.7 ml / cm 2 , 0.75 ml / cm 2 , 0.8 ml / cm 2 , 0.85 ml / cm 2 , 0.9 ml / cm 2 , 0.95 ml / cm 2 , 1 ml / cm 2 Alternatively, it may be within a range between two of these values. If the amount of lubricant applied to the artificial breast implant is below the above range, the injection force reduction effect may be reduced, increasing the stress on the implant, and thus increasing the risk of rupture of the artificial breast implant. If the amount of lubricant applied to the artificial breast implant exceeds the above range, the lubricant may have the adverse effect of interfering with the injection of the implant.

[0052] The above step (b) is a step of loading an artificial breast implant with a lubricant applied into the interior of an artificial breast implant delivery device.

[0053] The above-mentioned artificial breast implant delivery device is configured to deliver an artificial breast implant to a surgical pocket. Here, the surgical pocket refers to an incision site such as the patient's armpit or under the breast.

[0054] The artificial breast implant to which the above lubricant has been applied can be slid along the inner surface of the artificial breast implant delivery device and moved into the surgical pocket.

[0055] The above artificial breast implant delivery device may include a tapered body that accommodates an artificial breast implant therein and whose width becomes narrower from one side to the other.

[0056] In one embodiment, the artificial breast implant delivery device may be the tapered artificial breast implant delivery device of FIG. 1.

[0057] In another embodiment, the artificial breast implant delivery device may be a tapered artificial breast implant delivery device including a longitudinal groove. When a tapered artificial breast implant delivery device including a longitudinal groove is used, the stress applied to the artificial breast implant during implantation can be further reduced, thereby preventing adverse effects due to rupture of the artificial breast implant.

[0058] FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of a tapered artificial breast implant delivery device including a vertical groove according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 2, the tapered artificial breast implant delivery device (1) including the vertical groove includes a body (10) and a vertical groove (20).

[0060] The tapered artificial breast implant delivery device (1) including the above vertical grooves may include a tapered body (10) in which an artificial breast implant is accommodated and whose width becomes narrower from one side to the other; and a plurality of vertical grooves (20) formed by being sunken into the inner surface of the body, extending from one side to the other, and arranged radially spaced apart from each other.

[0061] In detail, the body (10) is formed so that the width of the body (10) becomes narrower as it goes toward the other end (12), and a first opening (11) is formed at one end into which a prosthesis is inserted. The pointed other end (12) of the body (10) may be cut off during a prosthesis implantation surgery. In this case, a second opening (13) through which the prosthesis can be discharged may be formed at the other end of the body (10), and the second opening (13) is formed to be smaller than the first opening (11).

[0062] For example, the body (10) may be tapered, conical, or funnel-shaped. Alternatively, the body (10) may be pyramid-shaped. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the body (10) may be provided as a hollow structure in which one opening (11) is larger than the other opening (13). In this way, the body (10) may be applied with various shapes in which the width becomes narrower from one side to the other.

[0063] Due to the tapered structure of the body (10), when the surgeon applies a load to the body (10), the prosthesis can slide along the narrowing inner surface of the body (10) and be moved into the surgical pocket.

[0064] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a tapered artificial breast implant delivery device including a vertical groove with the other end removed.

[0065] Referring to Fig. 3, a vertical groove (20) is formed by being sunk to a certain depth in the inner surface of the body (10), and is formed by extending from one side of the body (10) to the other side, that is, in the direction in which the prosthesis is injected or in the direction in which a load is applied.

[0066] Here, if the groove is formed in a transverse direction perpendicular to the injection direction of the prosthesis, the load is distributed along the groove, so the effect of the load being transferred from the first opening (11) to the second opening (13), i.e., the stress concentration, is reduced, and rather, only the frictional force is increased by the groove, so that the load required for implantation of the prosthesis may increase.

[0067] A plurality of vertical grooves (20) may be formed along the circumference of the body (10), and may be arranged horizontally spaced apart from each other. Specifically, a plurality of vertical grooves (20) may be formed radially spaced at equal intervals based on the center of the body (10). That is, the vertical grooves (20) may be formed at regular intervals along the circumference of the body (10).

[0068] The groove spacing, which is the horizontal distance between a vertical groove (20) and an adjacent vertical groove (20), can be formed to become narrower from one side to the other.

[0069] FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of a portion of a cross-sectional view of a tapered artificial breast implant delivery device including the vertical groove of FIG. 2.

[0070] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the groove spacing (d1) on the side of the first opening (11), that is, the groove spacing (d1) at one end (21) of the vertical groove (20), may be formed to be 0.15 mm or more and 100 mm or less, and the groove spacing (d2) on the side of the second opening (13), that is, the groove spacing (d2) at the other end (22) of the vertical groove (20), may be formed to be 0.025 mm or more and 50 mm or less. Here, the groove spacing (d1) on the side of the first opening (11) may be formed to be greater than the groove spacing (d2) on the side of the second opening (13).

[0071] If the groove spacing (d1) of one end (21) of the vertical groove (20) is less than 0.15 mm or the groove spacing (d2) at the other end (22) of the vertical groove (20) is less than 0.025 mm, the strength of the body (10) may be weakened and it may tear. In addition, if the groove spacing (d1) of one end (21) of the vertical groove (20) exceeds 100 mm or the groove spacing (d2) at the other end (22) of the vertical groove (20) exceeds 50 mm, the reduction in surface area is slight, the stress concentration is reduced, and the injection force reduction effect does not appear.

[0072] In one embodiment, the depth (d3) of the vertical groove (20) can be formed to be 0.01 mm or more and 0.15 mm or less.

[0073] If the depth (d3) of the vertical groove (20) is less than 0.01 mm, the vertical groove (20) may spread out and disappear when a load is applied, thereby eliminating the stress concentration effect. If the depth (d3) of the vertical groove (20) exceeds 0.15 mm, the prosthesis may be introduced between the vertical grooves (20), thereby increasing the contact area between the body (10) and the prosthesis, thereby increasing the frictional force, thereby hindering stress concentration.

[0074] In one embodiment, the length (d4) of the vertical groove (20) can be formed to be 100 mm or more and 400 mm or less.

[0075] The above-described artificial breast implant delivery device may be formed of an elastic material. The elastic material may be, but is not limited to, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, polyester, or polyurethane, and any flexible and transparent material may be used without limitation. Alternatively, the above-described artificial breast implant delivery device may be formed of a soft material that can be easily crumpled, such as vinyl or thin fabric.

[0076] The above-described artificial breast implant delivery device may have a lubricant applied to its inner surface. The lubricant may be, but is not limited to, oil, saline solution, a hydrophilic lubricant, or a combination thereof. Using a lubricated artificial breast implant delivery device can further reduce the stress applied to the implant during implantation, thereby preventing adverse effects due to rupture of the artificial breast implant.

[0077] In one embodiment, the artificial breast implant delivery device can be used by applying a lubricant to the inner surface before use.

[0078] In another embodiment, the artificial breast implant delivery device may use a product that is packaged and sold with a lubricant applied thereto, in which case the packaged product may be opened and used as is without additionally applying a lubricant.

[0079] Hereinafter, the embodiments of this specification will be described in more detail. However, the experimental results below represent only representative experimental results among the above embodiments, and the scope and content of this specification cannot be interpreted as being reduced or limited by the embodiments, etc. The effects of each of the various implementation examples of this specification that are not explicitly presented below will be specifically described in the relevant sections.

[0088] Experimental Example 1

[0089] In order to determine the effect of reducing injection force according to the type of lubricant applied to an artificial breast implant, the injection force, which is the maximum force required to inject an artificial breast implant in the artificial breast implant delivery devices of Examples 1 to 4, was measured. The results are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 5 below.

[0090] Specifically, using a universal material testing machine from INSTRON, the artificial breast implant was injected at a constant speed (100 mm / min) from the first opening to the second opening within the artificial breast implant delivery device, and the maximum load applied to the universal material testing machine was measured as the injection force.

[0102] Referring to Table 2 and Figure 6 above, it was confirmed that as the amount of oil applied to the artificial breast implant increased, the injection force required for injection of the implant decreased. However, when the oil was applied to the artificial breast implant at 0.01 ml / cm 2 When applied in smaller amounts, the effect of reducing injection force due to oil application was minimal, and 1 ml / cm 2 When applied in larger quantities, the oil had the adverse effect of interfering with the injection of the implant.
