ANASTOMOSIS
BIORAD MEDISYS PRIVATE LIMITED
AN INDIAN COMPANY HAVING OFFICE ADDRESS AT
Survey No. 48, 3 & 48 7, Pashan - Sus Rd, Sus, Pune,
Maharashtra 411021
THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATION PARTICULARLY DESCRIBES THE
SUBJECT MATTER AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED.
2
TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present invention relates generally to the field of medical
instruments. More particularly, the invention relates to an endoscopic
ultrasound (EUS)-guided access system having a manoeuvrable catheter
5 distal tip configured for penetrating adjacent tissue layers and enlarging the
resulting penetration for subsequent treatment thereof.
BACKGROUND
[002] A Gastrojejunostomy is a surgical procedure in which an
anastomosis is created between stomach to the middle part of the small
10 intestine, called the jejunum. The new connection reroutes the passage of
food from the stomach into the small intestine, bypassing the first section of
the small intestine, called the duodenum. This is usually done either for the
purpose of draining the contents of the stomach or to provide a bypass for
the gastric contents while bypassing diseases or malfunctioning tissues.
15 Gastrojejunostomy can be done via either an open or a laparoscopic
approach. Percutaneous gastrojejunostomy may be performed, in which a
tube is placed through the abdominal wall into the stomach and then
through the duodenum into the jejunum. Endoscopic gastrojejunostomy
procedure is performed to locate the jejunum endo-sonographically from
20 inside the stomach and placing a stent across a newly formed fistulous tract.
[003] Stents are commonly used to facilitate the opening of closed vessels
for access, drainage or other purposes. Tissue anchors are used to secure
adjacent tissues or organs. Often, the precise placement of the tissue anchor
or stent is necessary. When deploying a stent or other tissue anchor between
25 adjacent body lumens, organs, or other structures, it is typically necessary
to penetrate both a wall of the first body lumen through which access is
established and a wall of a second body lumen which is the target for the

procedure. Prior art devices for creating anastomoses often comprise a
piercing tip which can be hazardous and cause injury to adjacent organs.
When initially forming such access penetrations, there is a significant risk
of leakage from either or both access body lumen and the target body lumen
5 into the surrounding space. Loss of body fluid into surrounding tissues and
body cavities can present a substantial risk to the patient. The risk can be
exacerbated when it is necessary to not only penetrate the luminal walls to
gain initial access, usually with a needle, but to subsequently enlarge or
dilate the initial penetration, for example by passing a tapered dilator
10 and/or dilating balloon over the needle used to establish initial access.
[004] Conventional catheter distal tips used for this purpose may lack
precision and control during tissue puncturing, leading to potential
complications during the procedure. One more drawback is that several
exchanges and steps are required to form the opening. The small size of the
15 opening formed can also create high resistance to advancing or retracting
the endoscope, which is significantly larger than the opening. In the event
the endoscope is retracted through the opening, it can also be difficult to
locate the opening and re-insert the endoscope. Continued advancement
and retraction of the endoscope can also be uncomfortable for the patient.
20 Another drawback of current methods is that a non-sterile passageway is
created from the stomach into the abdominal cavity, as the devices carry
bacteria from the body lumen into the abdominal cavity.
[005] There is, therefore, a need for an improved monopolar catheter distal
tip that offers enhanced accuracy and efficiency in creating a secure
25 anastomosis. This invention is therefore directed towards providing a
catheter distal tip, which is relatively simple in design and structure, and is
highly effective for its intended purpose.
4
OBJECTIVES
[006] An object of the present invention is to provide a distal tip on the
catheter designed to enable precise and controlled puncturing through
tissue walls to create an anastomosis.
5 [007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a specialized
design of a catheter distal tip to create a secure and leak-proof anastomosis
to deploy a stent, anchor, or for other purposes, reducing the risk of postoperative complications.
[008] Another object of the invention is to reduce the number of accessories
10 required to perform the surgery thereby reducing the overall time and cost.
[009] Yet another object of the invention is to facilitate improved access to
body lumens while minimizing trauma and damage to the tissue
surrounding the initial luminal wall penetration.

15 utilized to enable precise and controlled puncturing through tissue walls to
create an anastomosis. Thus, the present disclosure is not intended to be
limited to the embodiments illustrated but is to be accorded the widest
scope consistent with the principles and features described herein.
[0033] Conventional catheter distal tips used for anastomosis lack precision
20 and control during tissue puncturing, leading to potential complications
during the procedure. Also, in conventional methodology a non-sterile
passageway is created from stomach to abdominal cavity, thus, devices can
carry bacteria from the body lumen into the abdominal cavity. The present
disclosure discloses an improved monopolar catheter distal tip that offers
25 improved precision and enhanced accuracy and efficiency in creating a
secure anastomosis.
[0034] A catheter distal tip for anastomosis comprises a ceramic part and a
conductive metal part along with a conductive element for current supply
that allows efficient cutting, heating and cauterization. The catheter distal
10

heat and/or cauterize tissue of a patient. A direct or alternating current is
10 passed through a resistant metal wire electrode, generating heat. The wire
disposed within the catheter body extending along the length of the catheter
body terminating within the handle. The heated electrode is then applied to
living tissue to achieve hemostasis or varying degrees of tissue destruction.
The current does not pass through the patient; thus, the procedure can be
15 safely used in patients with implanted electrical devices such as cardiac
pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and deep-brain
stimulators.
[0035] Electrical energy, such as radio frequency (RF) energy and high
frequency (HF) energy, can be supplied to the metal part of the tip from a
20 generator unit electrically coupled to the handle at the electrical plug. The
handle has electrical controls for controlling the electrical energy supplied
to the tip.
[0036] In an embodiment, a catheter distal tip comprises a first part and a
second part. The first part is a hollow metal cylinder. The first part
25 comprises a plurality of rectangular ribs formed equidistantly in a radial
manner around an outer surface at a first end. The second part is a ceramic
frustrum. The second part comprises a plurality of rectangular slots formed
equidistantly in a radial manner around an outer surface at a first end. A
one end of each of the rectangular slots coincides with a one end of each of

the projections, thereby creating a passage. During assembly, the second
part is configured to receive the first part. The plurality of ribs slide into the
plurality of slots, thereby fixing each of the rectangular ribs with respective
rectangular slots using one or more locking mechanisms. The metal part is
5 conductive and configured to cut, heat and/or cauterize tissue of a patient.
[0037] In another embodiment, a catheter distal tip comprises a first part
and a second part. The first part is a metal hollow cylinder. The first part
comprises a plurality of helical ribs formed equidistantly around an outer
surface at a first end. The second part is made up of a ceramic material. The
10 second part comprises a plurality of helical grooves formed equidistantly
around an outer surface at a first end. During an assembly, the second part
is configured to receive the first part such that each of the helical ribs get
fixed with respective helical grooves with the help of helical movement of
the first part. The metal part is conductive and configured to cut, heat
15 and/or cauterize tissue of a patient.
[0038] In another embodiment, a catheter distal tip comprises a first part
and a second part. The first part is a hollow metal cylinder. The first part
comprises a pair of V-shaped ribs with 30-degree angle at one end and the
pair of V-shaped ribs formed with 30-degree angle on an opposite end. The
20 second part is a ceramic frustrum. The second part comprises a pair of Vshaped grooves with 30-degree angle at one end and a pair of grooves
formed with 30-degree angle on an opposite end. During assembly, the
second part is configured to receive the first part such that each of the pair
of V-shaped ribs get fixed with respective pair of V-shaped grooves by
25 splitting the second part. The metal part is conductive and configured to
cut, heat and/or cauterize tissue of a patient.
[0039] In yet another embodiment, a catheter distal tip comprises a first part
and a second part. The first part is a metal hollow cylinder. The first part
comprises a plurality of trapezoidal ribs formed equidistantly in a radial
12
manner around an outer surface at a first end. The second part is a pair of
ceramic frustrum having common base. The second part comprises a
plurality of trapezoidal slots formed equidistantly in a radial manner
around an outer surface at a first end. The one end of the trapezoidal slots
5 coincides with the one end of a projection thereby creating a passage.
During assembly, the second part is configured to receive the first part. The
plurality of trapezoidal ribs slide into the plurality of trapezoidal slots
thereby fixing each of the trapezoidal ribs with respective trapezoidal slots
using one or more locking mechanisms. The metal part is conductive and
10 configured to cut, heat and/or cauterize tissue of a patient.
[0040] The distal tip designs disclosed herein allow for an increased
electrical current density that can facilitate quicker cutting through tissue
and reduced trauma to the surrounding tissue areas. The smaller cutting
surface area will have a higher current density than a larger surface area for
15 a given power. The higher current density on the cutting surface area can
facilitate quicker cutting of the tissue. The faster cutting can minimize the
thermal injury to the tissue that is cut along with adjacent tissue. Examples
of thermal damage to tissue include coagulation, loss of elasticity of the
tissue, denaturing of proteins, and necrosis. The distal tips disclosed herein
20 can minimize tissue damage thereby maintaining tissue elasticity after
cutting the tissue. The distal tips disclosed herein can operate at a wide
range of powers, for example from about 30 Watts to about 200 Watts or
greater. The tip designs reduce the likelihood of leakage and complications
for the surgical procedures.
25 [0041] It should be noted that the above advantages and other advantages
will be better evident in the subsequent description. Further, in the
subsequent section the present subject is better explained with reference to
the figures.

[0042] Referring now to the drawings, Figures 1-4 illustrate a Monopolar tip
with a variety of configurations. It should be noted that Figure 1-4 are
merely examples. A person skilled in the art will recognize many variations,
alternatives, and modifications of the embodiments of the present
5 disclosure.

passage. The one edge of the rectangular slot 106 is coinciding with a
circular face of the second part and a second edge of the rectangular slot 106
coinciding with one edge of a projection 118. During assembly, the second
part 102 is configured to receive the first part 104. The plurality of ribs 108
20 slide into the plurality of slots 102, thereby fixing each of the rectangular
ribs 108 with respective rectangular slots 106 using one or more locking
mechanisms.
[0044] The metal part 104 of the tip 100 is conductive and configured to cut,
heat, and/or cauterize tissue of a patient that receives current from the wire
25 110 disposed within the catheter body extending along the length of the
catheter body terminating within the handle. The wire 110 that acts as a
conduit for supplying current to the metal part 104 of the distal tip 100 is
well-insulated within the catheter body, ensuring safe delivery of current to
the target tissues while minimizing the risk of unintended damage to
14
surrounding structures. Electrical energy, such as radio frequency (RF)
energy and high frequency (HF) energy, can be supplied to the metal part
104 of the tip 100 from a generator unit (not shown) electrically coupled to
the handle at the electrical plug. The handle has electrical controls for
5 controlling the electrical energy supplied to the tip 100.
