The devices and methods disclosed pertain to patient stabilization, and in particular head and neck stabilization using stabilization devices known as head stabilization devices, which are also referred to as head fixation devices (hereinafter referred to as “HFDs” or “HFD” in singular). HFDs are sometimes used during a variety of surgical and other medical procedures, for example during head or neck surgery or testing where it would be desirable to securely hold a patient's head in a certain position. When stabilizing a patient's head, techniques include invasive and non-invasive setups. Invasive setups can use stabilizing features in the form of pins that contact the patient's head and in particular skull. Non-invasive setups can use stabilizing features in the form of pads or other structures that are configured to contact the patient's head but without penetrating the skin. HFDs used with invasive and non-invasive setups include structures or assemblies that are configured to retain and position one or more stabilizing features. While a variety of stabilization devices have been made and used, it is believed that no one prior to the inventor(s) has made or used an invention as described herein.
While the specification concludes with claims which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description of certain examples taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals identify the same elements.
The drawings are not intended to be limiting in any way, and it is contemplated that various embodiments of the invention may be carried out in a variety of other ways, including those not necessarily depicted in the drawings. The accompanying drawings incorporated in and forming a part of the specification illustrate several aspects of the present invention, and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements shown.
The following description of certain examples of the invention should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Other examples, features, aspects, embodiments, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description, which is by way of illustration, one of the best modes contemplated for carrying out the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of other different and obvious aspects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions should be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.
I. Exemplary HFD
In the present example, upright portion (18) includes a bore (24) configured to receive an assembly (40) to hold a stabilizing feature (41). Stabilizing features retained with skull clamp (10) are in the form of skull pins in some versions, and in other versions are in the form of pads or other non-invasive structures. Upright portion (16) connects with a housing (26), and as will be described in further detail below, housing (26) is configured with a bore (28) as best seen in
Skull clamp (10) includes an attachment interface in the form of a starburst interface (30) in the illustrated version. In the present example, starburst interface (30) is configured to directly or indirectly connect skull clamp (10) with a patient support table (not shown). In some examples a swivel adapter, base unit, or combination thereof can be used to connect with starburst interface (30) to join skull clamp (10) with the patient support table. Exemplary swivel adapters and base units are also available from pro med instruments GmbH of Freiburg, Germany.
Skull clamp (10) further includes an attachment interface in the form of a rail (32) configured to receive a clamp member of other accessories for use with skull clamp (10). While in the present example, rail (32) is located on one side of skull clamp (10), in other versions rail (32) can be on the other side of skull clamp (10) or on both sides. Exemplary attachment interfaces in the form of a rail such as rail (32) are described further in U.S. Pat. No. 9,402,692, entitled “Head Fixation Device and Apparatus for Securing Components Thereto,” issued Aug. 2, 2016, and incorporated by reference herein.
II. Exemplary Rocker Arm Assembly
As seen in
On a proximal side, rocker arm assembly (100) includes an actuator in the form of a lever (114). Lever (114) connects with a shaft (116) at a proximal end of shaft (116) by way of a pin (118) as best seen in
As will be described further below, this contact when operating lever (114) enables adjustment of a rotational position of rocker arm assembly (100). Additionally, with the interface between arm holder (104) and housing (26) defined by two contacting smooth surfaces—proximal surface (110) of arm holder (104) and distal surface (27) of housing (26)—rocker arm (102) can be rotatably adjusted to any desired position. In other words, the range of rotatable adjustment of rocker arm (102) is not limited as it might be where a gear engagement like teeth of a starburst interface would dictate rotational position and permitted increments of rotation. In the present version, any rotational increment and any rotational position from 0 degrees to 360 degrees about a longitudinal axis of rotation is achievable. In some versions, the range of adjustment of rocker arm (102) is infinitely variable, meaning that there is no restriction or limit as to the rotational position rocker arm (102) may be set to within its full range of rotation about longitudinal axis (LA).
As illustrated in
As will be described in detail below with respect to
Rocker arm assembly (100) also includes a disc (132), a washer (134), and a resilient member or feature (136), as more clearly seen in
In the illustrated version seen in
As shown, in the locked state of
Referring now to
As also mentioned above, washer (134) and resilient member (136) are located about shaft (116) and between disc (132) inner wall (140) of body (122). Resilient member (136) is configured in a compressed or loaded state such that when positioned about shaft (116), resilient member (136) is biased to apply force longitudinally on adjacent components or structures. In the present example, resilient member (136) applies force or pushes on adjacent washer (134) and on inner wall (140) of body (122). Because disc (132) is pinned to shaft (116) and in a fixed longitudinal position when lever (114) is locked or in a locked state as shown in
On the proximal side of resilient member (136), resilient member (136) contacts inner wall (140) of body (122). Body (122) is not fixedly connected with shaft (116) or components positioned about shaft (116). Body (122) is also not pinned or mechanically fastened with housing (26). Thus body (122) can translate longitudinally or change its longitudinal position relative to shaft (116) and housing (26) when force acts upon body (122). In the locked state shown in
In the present example, inner sidewall (31) of housing (26) is configured with a taper as it extends proximally such that a diameter of bore (28) of housing (26) decreases as bore (28) extends further proximally. Also in the present version, but not required in all versions, outer sidewall (123) of body (122) comprises a taper as well. In some versions the tapers of inner sidewall (31) and outer sidewall (123) match or are complementary; in other versions inner sidewall (31) tapers more severely or drastically than outer sidewall (123). Still in other versions outer sidewall (123) may not have any taper, while inner sidewall (31) may have a taper. In this manner, these configurations promote or define the interference fit made when outer sidewall portion (123) of body (122) contacts and engages with inner sidewall (31) of housing (26).
In the present example, when in the locked state and with body (122) moved proximally, body (122) contacts and engages inner sidewall (31) of housing (26) making an interference fit such that body (122) is restricted from rotational movement as mentioned above. Body (122) also connects with arm holder (104) via pin (128) as mentioned above. In this manner, when body (122) is restricted from rotational movement, arm holder (104) and connected rocker arm (102) are similarly restricted from rotational movement. In view of the teachings herein, other way to achieve an interference fit between body (122) and housing (26), where frictional forces fix the position of these components with respect to one another such that body (122) does not rotate relative to housing (26), will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Rocker arm assembly (100) also includes insert (130) as mentioned above. Insert (130) is also connected with body (122) via pin (128). In this manner, when body (122) is restricted from rotational movement, insert (130) is similarly restricted from rotational movement. As shown in
From the above description, rocker arm assembly (100) is understood to include a locking assembly (150) that includes lever (114), pin (118), shaft (116), disc (132), pin (133), washer (134), and resilient member (136). Locking assembly (150) works in conjunction with body (122), insert (130), arm holder (104), and connecting pin (128) to selectively lock and unlock the rotation ability of arm (102) relative to housing (26). While body (122), insert (130), and arm holder (104) are connectable and are translatable relative to housing (26), housing (26) itself is formed with or fixedly connected with upright portion (16) of arm (12).
Referring now to
As mentioned above, when starting from the locked position or state as shown in
With the distal movement of insert (130), body (122) translates in unison with insert (130) based upon the pinned connection between insert (130) and body (122) via pin (128). It should be noted here that although resilient member (136) has a bias that drives body (122) proximally as describe above, the interaction between eccentric features (120) and lateral portions (36) of extensions (25) is sufficient to overcome the bias of resilient member (136). When body (122) translates distally, the interference fit between outer sidewall (123) of body (122) and inner sidewall (31) of housing (26) is lessened or reduced. In this manner, body (122) does not bind with housing (26), and body (122) is rotatable relative to housing (26).
Referring to
Even with the stable longitudinal position of arm holder (104) relative to housing (26), the ability for arm holder (104) to rotate is associated with the ability of body (122) to rotate based on the pinned connection between arm holder (104) and body (122) by pin (128). Therefore, when body (122) is in the proximal position as shown in
Once arm (102) has been rotated and adjusted to a desirable position, rocker arm assembly (100) can be moved back to the locked state or position as shown in
Referring back to
With the configuration of rocker arm assembly (100) described, another feature of rocker arm assembly (100) is that removal of rocker arm assembly (100) from housing (26) does not require all components of rocker arm assembly (100) to be rotated 90 or 270 degrees like lever (114) to achieve removal. For instance, locking assembly (150) is rotatable independent from body (122), arm holder (104), and insert (130). Accordingly, when removing rocker arm assembly (100) from housing (26), locking assembly (150) is rotated based on rotation of lever (114), but the other components of rocker arm assembly (100) are not required to rotate and thus can remain stationary in terms of their relative rotational position with respect to housing (26).
To reinstall rocker arm assembly (100) within housing (26), the same process is performed in reverse. Once rocker arm assembly (100) has been reinstalled or repositioned within housing (26) with lever (114) extending proximally from wall portions (33, 35) of housing (26), lever (114) is rotated 90 or 270 degrees to the orientation as shown in
The ability to separate rocker arm assembly (100) from HFD (10) in the manner as described above provides for the ability to clean and/or sterilize components of both rocker arm assembly (100) and HFD (10) such that these devices can be used multiple times. In view of the teachings herein, other ways to configure housing (26) and rocker arm assembly (100) to facilitate selective removal of rocker arm assembly (100) from HFD (10) will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
In an exemplary use of HFD (10) equipped with rocker arm assembly (100) where a user adjusts a rotational position of arm (102), a user first rotates lever (114) to a position parallel or substantially parallel with longitudinal axis (LA). Next the user rotates arm (102) to a desired orientation or position relative to housing (26). Once in the desired position, the user then rotates lever (114) to a position orthogonal to longitudinal axis (LA). When the user desires to remove rocker arm assembly (100) from housing (26) for cleaning or other reasons, the user rotates lever (114) to a position parallel or substantially parallel with longitudinal axis (LA). Next the user rotates lever (114) about longitudinal axis (LA) 90 or 270 degrees such that base portions (115) of lever (114) are clear from wall portions (33, 35) of housing (26). The user then advances rocker arm assembly (100) distally such that lever (114) passes through bore (28) of housing (26) and out from the distal side of housing (26). To reinstall rocker arm assembly (100), the reverse process is followed by the user. In view of the teaching herein, other ways to use and adjust rocker arm assembly (100) will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
