CA 2216614

An implant port for repeated access to the medullary portion of bone is provided. The implant port includes an access port (15, 13) that fits into a surgically constructed bone orifice and an insert means that seals and fills the port volume. A penetrable insert means (19) allows repeated access within bone using sharp instruments, while an adapter means (27) allows guided placement of a surgical instrument, such as a catheter, optical device, or rotating cutter. Skeletal surgery from the inside of bone is contemplated using the implant port provided.

L'invention concerne un implant permettant des accès répétés à la cavité médullaire d'un os. L'implant se compose d'une douille (15, 13) encastrée dans un trou pratiqué par chirurgie dans l'os, dans laquelle vient se placer un bouchon qui obture hermétiquement le tout. Le bouchon pénétrable (19) permet des accès répétés à l'intérieur de l'os à l'aide d'instruments chirurgicaux pointus. Grâce à un adaptateur (27), on peut aussi y faire pénétrer d'autres instruments chirurgicaux guidés, tels que cathéter, dispositif optique ou couteau rotatif. On envisage aussi d'utiliser cet implant pour la chirurgie à l'intérieur de l'os.
