Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to methods and articles for fusing matrix materials to form layers over tissue. More particularly, the present invention relates to fusing matrix layers containing non-collagenous proteins to tissues for wound closure, and other purposes.
- matrix materials may be applied to tissue in order to effect or enhance wound closure, to augment and repair tissue defects, and the like.
- a variety of specific compositions and methods have been devised for such purposes.
- the fusing of collagen and other proteins by the application of laser and other energy sources has been suggested for the closure of wounds. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,156,613; 5,209,776; and 5,071,417.
- the application of pre-polymer materials followed by light- induced cross-linking has also been proposed. See, for example, PCT publications WO 94/24962 and WO 94/21324.
- the present invention provides improved methods and articles for fusing a matrix material to tissue for a variety of purposes, including wound closure, tissue augmentation, or the like.
- the matrix material comprises a non-collagenous protein component which when placed over a target location on the tissue will fuse to the tissue upon the application of energy, such as radio frequency energy, laser energy, ultrasonic energy, heat, infrared, microwave or the like.
- the energy will be applied in an amount sufficient to fuse the matrix material to the underlying tissue with a peel bond strength of at least about 0.03 N/cm.
- the terms “fuse” and “fusing” will mean that the matrix material has been caused to adhere to the underlying tissue with a peel bond strength (defined below) of at least about 0.03 N/cm.
- a peel bond strength defined below
- the precise energy level will depend on the nature of the protein, the nature of the energy source and the nature of the underlying tissue, typically it will be in the range from about 1 W/cm 2 to about 100 W/cm 2 .
- non-collagenous proteins include albumins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) , ovalbumin, human serum albumin (HSA) ; hemoglobins from human, bovine, and other sources; fibrinogens from human, bovine, and other sources; fibronectins from human, bovine, and other sources; elastins; keratins; laminins; and the like.
- BSA bovine serum albumin
- HSA human serum albumin
- the matrix material may be applied (prior to exposure to energy) in a variety of forms, usually being a solid, mesh, or composite layer.
- the matrix material may comprise a dispersible, non-solid phase, such as liquids, gels, sols, suspensions, powders, and the like.
- the matrix material may comprise substantially pure protein, but in many cases it will be desirable to combine additional components, such as carrier materials, reinforcement materials, plasticizers, and the like. After the application of energy, a layer of the matrix material will usually fuse to the underlying tissue with the requisite peel bond strength.
- the layer will typically have a thickness of at least about 0.01 mm, usually being in the range from about 0.05 mm to about 0.1 mm, and the layer will usually form a substantially continuous surface on the underlying tissue.
- the area may vary widely, typically being at least about 0.05 cm 2 , usually being in the range from about 1 cm 2 to about 100 cm 2 .
- Articles according to the present invention comprise a sheet of the matrix material generally as described above.
- the sheets will usually be sterilized and present in a sterile package for distribution and storage prior to use.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sheet of matrix material according to the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a top view of a package containing the matrix material of Fig. 1, shown with a portion broken away.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of a region of tissue having a wound therein.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the method of the present invention wherein a solid sheet of matrix material is placed over the wound of Fig. 3 and radio frequency (RF) energy is used to fuse the matrix material to the tissue.
- RF radio frequency
- Fig. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the method of the present invention, wherein a liquid or gel matrix material is applied using a syringe to the wound in the tissue of Fig. 3.
- Fig. 6 illustrates the application of RF energy to the liquid matrix material of Fig. 5.
- Fig. 7 illustrates a resulting layer of matrix material which has been bonded to tissue according to the method of the present invention.
- Tissues include virtually all human and animal body tissues, including the skin (epidermis) , as well as the external and internal surfaces of virtually all body organs.
- the present invention is particularly useful for fusing matrix materials to fragile body organs, such as lungs, stomach, liver, spleen, intestines, colon, fallopian tubes, esophagus, ovary, uterus, bladder, and the like.
- the matrix material may be applied for a variety of purposes, including wound closure, tissue augmentation, and the like. Wounds to be treated may result from accidental trauma, surgical intervention, or virtually any other cause.
- Tissue augmentation will usually be performed to fill or cover regions of tissue where tissue has been lost or damaged, such as abrasions, burns, and the like.
- the matrix materials of the present invention will comprise a non-collagenous protein component, as described in more detail below.
- the non-collagenous protein will be selected to provide for bonding of the resulting layer of matrix material, typically providing a peel bond strength of at least about 0.03 N/cm, preferably at least about 0.07 N/cm, and usually in the range from about 0.07 N/cm to about 0.2 N/cm. Peel bond strength can be measured by conventional techniques. A particular method for measuring peel bond strength is as follows.
- Pieces of the matrix material (1.5 cm x 3 cm) are cut and glued to a plastic tab (1.5 " cm x 3 cm) which overlaps the test material by 1 cm over the width (the 1.5 cm dimension) , using a cyanoacrylate glue.
- a hole is pierced in the tab, and the test material bonded to the tissue in vivo or in vi tro .
- a digital force gauge such as an Omega DF051-2 fitted with a 2 pound force transducer, Omega Instruments, Stamford, Connecticut, is attached to the plastic tab using a hook attachment which is secured to hole in the plastic tab.
- a manual upward force is then applied on the force gauge, and the sample peeled off with an even rate of pull, typically about 3 cm per second. Peel strengths are recorded in force (Newtons) divided by the width of the sample (1.5 cm) in order to determine the peel bond strength. The peel bond strength is measured as a maximum.
- the non-collagenous protein component may comprise one, two, or more individual proteins.
- Exemplary non- collagenous proteins include albumins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) , ovalbumin, human serum albumin (HSA) ; hemoglobins from human, bovine, and other sources; fibrinogens from human, bovine, and other sources; fibronectins from human, bovine, and other sources; elastin; keratin; and laminin.
- the proteins may comprise substantially all of the matrix material, or may comprise only a portion thereof. In the latter case, additional components may be included, such as carrier substances, reinforcing materials (e.g., reinforcing meshes, fibers, filaments, braids and the like) , and plasticizers.
- Exemplary carrier substances include collagen, gelatin, fibrinogen, and elastin.
- the matrix material will usually be in the form of a solid layer, e.g. , in the form of a sheet, film, patch, strip, mesh, or the like.
- the use of a mesh allows tissue to form a coagulum within the interstices of the mesh as energy is applied, as described in copending application serial no. 08/303,336, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the solid phase forms of the matrix material may optionally be reinforced with filaments, braids, meshes, and other woven and non-woven reinforcement materials.
- the reinforcement materials will be non- bioabsorbable so that they will remain even after the fusible material has been resorbed.
- Exemplary reinforcement materials include polymeric braids or meshes, particularly composed of polypropylene (Marlex ® ) , fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers
- the reinforcement materials may be biodegradable.
- Exemplary biodegradable materials include polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, polyhydroxybutyrate, other poly ( ⁇ -hydroxy acids) polydioxanone, and the like. Filaments, braids, meshes, woven and non-woven forms may be used.
- Reinforced and non-reinforced matrix materials may be formed by conventional techniques for forming and solidifying proteins.
- the proteins will be cross ⁇ linked to enhance structural integrity.
- the proteins may be dissolved in water to form a gel .
- the gel may then be layered over a flat surface to a desired thickness, and the gel dried to form a solid sheet.
- Such sheets will typically have a thickness in the range from about 0.03 mm to about 0.15 mm, usually from about 0.05 mm to about 0.1 mm.
- the sheets will preferably have an area of at least about 0.5 cm 2 , preferably at least about 1 cm 2 , and usually in the range from about 1 cm 2 to about 100 cm 2 . It will be appreciated that sheets of various sizes can be trimmed to an appropriate size and shape for a particular application.
- the matrix materials may be applied to the target region on the tissue in a non-solid dispersible state, e.g., as a liquid, gel, paste, spray, sol or combination thereof.
- a non-solid dispersible state e.g., as a liquid, gel, paste, spray, sol or combination thereof.
- Such dispersible matrix materials may be applied using syringes, brushes, sprayers, spatulas, or other methods suitable for spreading or dispersing a layer of the material over the wound region.
- the layer will have a thickness in the range from about 0.01 mm to about 5 mm, preferably from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm.
- the method of the present invention will utilize energy of a type and in an amount sufficient to fuse the matrix material including the non-collagenous protein to underlying tissue.
- Suitable energy sources include electrical energy, particularly radio frequency (RF) energy, heat energy, laser energy, ultrasonic energy, infrared, microwave, and the like.
- RF energy sources such as those available as electrosurgical power supplies from companies such as Valleylab, Boulder, Colorado, and Con-Med, Utica, New York, employing conventional RF-applying probes.
- RF energy sources such as those available as electrosurgical power supplies from companies such as Valleylab, Boulder, Colorado, and Con-Med, Utica, New York, employing conventional RF-applying probes.
- modified RF energy sources which provide for a dispersed or distributed current flow from a hand-held probe to the tissue.
- a radio frequency inert gas device or inert gas beam coagulator which relies on flow of an inert ionizable gas, such as argon, for conducting current from the probe to the tissue.
- inert gas beam coagulators are available commercially from suppliers such as Con-Med and Valleylab.
- Energy from the energy source is typically directed to the tissue using a probe connected to an external power supply.
- the treating physician usually directs the probe manually to apply energy over the surface of the matrix material and visually confirms that fusion has been achieved.
- an energy output from about 2W to about 100W, preferably from about 20W to about 40W, will be used.
- the fusible material will typically be exposed to the energy for a total time from about 5 seconds to about 120 seconds, usually from about 10 seconds to about 40 seconds, for material having an area from about 1 cm 2 to about 10 cm 2 . The precise timing will depend on the physician's visual assessment that the matrix material has fused to the underlying tissue. Referring now to Fig.
- an article 10 comprising a solid sheet 12 of matrix material comprising a non-collagenous protein component according to the present invention is illustrated.
- the sheet is square, but sheets having a variety of other regular and irregular geometries, such as rectangles, circles, ovals, and the like, could also be fabricated.
- the surface area, thickness, and other characteristics of the sheet 12 are preferably (but not necessarily) as described above.
- the solid sheet 12 is usually packaged in a manner suitable to facilitate use by the treating phys ' ician.
- the sheet material is sterilized and packaged in a suitable container, such as a pouch, box, canister, bottle, or other conventional receptacle for medical products.
- a suitable container such as a pouch, box, canister, bottle, or other conventional receptacle for medical products.
- the sheet 12 is illustrated as packaged in a pouch comprising a front sheet 14 and back sheet 16, where the sheets are laminated together around the edge to seal the interior of the package.
- the sheet material is rolled and packaged in order to provide larger areas of material. Sterilization of the sheet material 12 is accomplished, prior to, during, or after packaging. Suitable sterilization techniques include the use of sterilizing gases, sterilizing radiation, heat, or the like.
- the solid sheet 12 or other form of the material of the present invention will be packaged together with written instructions setting forth the methods described herein, i.e. that the materials are to be placed over a target site in tissue and energy applied to effect bonding.
- the instructions may be printed on the packaging material (e.g. on a box or on a pouch holding the material) or may be provided on a separate package insert which is placed in or on the product package.
- a strip 20 of the matrix material of the present invention for covering and sealing a wound W in a region of tissue T is illustrated.
- the strip 20, which has been be trimmed to size prior to use, is placed over the wound W as shown in Fig. 4.
- energy such as radio frequency energy is applied over the strip using a hand-held probe 22, as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- the energy is applied by passing the probe 22 over the upper, exposed surface of the strip to fuse the protein-containing strip to the underlying tissue. Exemplary power levels, exposure times, and the like, are described above.
- Figs. 5 and 6 an alternative method for applying matrix material to the wound W on the region of tissue T is illustrated.
- Liquid or gel matrix material 30 is applied using a syringe 32, typically in a series of parallel strips 34.
- Other patterns of application could also be employed, such as circular, spiral, criss-crossed, and the like. It is generally desirable, however, that material be applied at a relatively uniform density over the tissue, so that, after application of energy, a generally continuous layer of matrix material 36 results, as shown in Fig. 6. Again, the energy is typically applied using the hand-held probe 22.
- the matrix material is in the form of a generally continuous layer 40 of material which adheres to the upper surface S of the tissue T.
- the layer 40 of material will adhere to the tissue T with a minimum peel bond strength as set forth above.
- the layer 40 will have a relatively high tensile strength so that it can maintain the integrity of the tissue T over the wound W.
- Patches were fabricated from bovine serum albumin, bovine fibrinogen, and bovine hemoglobin. Bonds were achieved with each of these patches, using an argon beam coagulator to deliver thermal energy.
- the tissue model was porcine or bovine lung in vi tro .
- Bovine hemoglobin (BHG, Sigma Chemical Co.) was dissolved in a buffer of 0.03M NaCl and 0.02M sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, to achieve a solution at 40 mg protein/ml.
- the protein was cross-linked by adding di-glycidyl PEG 600MW (DPEG, Polysciences, Inc.) and heating.
- One formulation was prepared by mixing 1.53 ml of BHG solution and 15.3 ul of a 10% (w/v) aqueous solution of DPEG in a polystyrene weighing boat (4.6 cm square) , covered with aluminum foil, and heated at 50°C overnight.
- a second formulation was prepared in an aluminum sample pan and heated at 80°C in a water bath for 15 min.
- Bovine serum albumin (0.5g, Sigma Chemical Co.) was mixed in a polystyrene weighing boat 4.6 cm square with 1.5 ml 0.9% saline and held at 5°C overnight. At this point, the albumin had dissolved to yield a viscous solution. Glutaraldehyde (37% aqueous, w/v; 14 ul) was added and stirred rapidly into the albumin solution. Within minutes the albumin formed a continuous gel. It was dried under ambient conditions to a moist film. At this point, the partially dried film was dislodged from the polystyrene boat and wrapped in plastic sheeting to prevent further drying.
- the moist film and a fully hydrated film were tested. Conditions for welding were as described above, except that the time for treatment of patches with the argon beam was approximately 5 sec per cm 2 of patch.
- the moist film yielded a bond strength (peel strength) of approximately 0.03 Newtons/cm; the fully hydrated film, approximately 0.01 Newtons/cm. Patches were removable as intact films (did not tear) .
- Albumin-polyacrylamide composite patches were prepared by mixing 167 mg bovine serum albumin, 1.67 ml saline, 0.62 ml stock acrylamide (30% aqueous acrylamide, 0.8% bis-acrylamide, w/v) , 40 ul 10% (w/v) ammonium persulfate, and 8 ul TEMED (tetramethyl-ethylenediamine) .
- the mixture was poured into several polystyrene weigh boats (4.6 cm square) and allowed to polymerize at room temperature. " Gels were allowed to dry at ambient to form moist mats and wrapped with plastic sheeting to prevent further drying.
- Moist mats were bonded by argon beam to porcine lung in vi tro and yielded a peel strength of approximately 0.03 Newtons/cm; mats hydrated 5 min in saline did not bond after argon beam treatment. Mats were removable from the bond site in an intact state. Conditions for bonding with the argon beam were as for albumin patches as described above.
- Bovine fibrinogen (Sigma Chemical co., 400 mg) was mixed with 9.6 ml of 0.3M NaCl, 0.02M sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, and held at 5°C for 16 hours to several days to permit dissolution of the fibrinogen (Dissolution was facilitated at the end by incubation at 37°C for 10 min) .
- the solution was allowed to dry to a film with thickness of 0.04 to 0.05 mm.
- the dry film yielded a bond peel strength of approximately 0.03 Newtons/cm and remained intact upon peeling. The hydrated film disintegrated and could not be welded. Conditions for bonding with the argon beam were the same as those used for albumin patches.
