Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to surgical devices and procedures, and more particularly to surgical suturing.
  • Sutures are often used in a wide variety of surgical procedures. Manual suturing is typically accomplished by the surgeon using a fine pair of graspers to grab and hold a suture needle, pierce the tissue with the needle, let go of the needle, and regrasp the needle to pull the needle and accompanying suture thread through the tissues to be sutured. Such needles are typically curved with the suture attached to the trailing end of the needle. A variety of automated suturing devices have been attempted to speed the process of suturing and to facilitate fine suturing or suturing during endoscopic, laparoscopic, or arthroscopic surgeries.

  • the flats (106) may be referenced prior to bending to facilitate the desired orientation of the features ( 08). It should be appreciated, however, that the orientation of the features (108) may be changed (e.g., on the upper, lower, or lateral faces) depending upon where the needle driver (86) is intended to engage the needle (70).
  • the body (100) may be cleaned, heat treated, electro-polished, and/or coated with a lubncious silicone.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une aiguille chirurgicale conçue pour être utilisée avec un applicateur d'aiguille circulaire disposant d'un système d'entraînement d'aiguille. L'aiguille chirurgicale comprend un corps allongé incurvé le long d'un arc circulaire dans un plan. Le corps allongé comporte une extrémité avant, une extrémité arrière, un axe longitudinal situé entre les extrémités avant et arrière, une circonférence de section transversale, une face supérieure, une face inférieure, une face médiale et une face latérale. Deux éléments évidés situés sur le corps servent à accueillir un système d'entraînement d'aiguille. Deux protubérances sont adjacentes à chacun des éléments évidés. Chaque protubérance coïncide longitudinalement avec l'élément évidé correspondant et est décalée circonférentiellement de l'autre élément évidé correspondant. Les protubérances partent du corps et font saillie vers l'extérieur.
