ABSTRACT:
A device for the selective fracture of the inner lining or tunica intima of a blood vessel without severing of the surrounding outer layer or tunica adventitia of the vessel is disclosed. The device comprises a combination of an anvil member having a dull blade affixed thereto which acts as one blade of a guillotine which descends upon the vessel caught between it and a hammer member of the guillotine. The hammer member is spring loaded through connection with a slider arm which extends upward toward the spring and a grip for the fingers of the user. There is provided a guide for the anvil and its blade which guide is aligned and connected with the central rod which extends between the slider arm and the spring which causes impact on the hammer member of the guillotine. The central rod acts as a core for two springs which surrounds the same. The first spring is referred to as a proximal compression spring and the second spring is referred to as distal actuator spring which is located peripherally to the proximal compression spring. The action of the first compression and the release of these two springs causes a shock to extend down the central rod or core into the slider arm and hence into the hammer portion of the guillotine. This shock action follows a first closing of the opening between the anvil and the hammer of the guillotine and is of such controlled momentum that it causes the dull blade of the anvil to fracture the inner layer of the blood vessel without severing the outer muscular layers of the blood vessel.
