Abstract

EL SISTEMA DE IMPLANTACION DE ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA CONSTA DE UN DISPOSITIVO DE ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA (100) ENGANCHADO A UNA HERRAMIENTA DE INSERCION DE LOS ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA (200). EL DISPOSITIVO DE ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA TIENE UN ELEMENTO DE SUTURA DE DOS PIEZAS QUE SE INSERTA EN UN AGUJERO DE UN HUESO PREVIAMENTE PERFORADO Y AL MENOS UNA SUTURA (101) QUE TIENE AL MENOS UNA AGUJA QUIRURGICA (400) FIJADA AL MISMO. EL ELEMENTO DE SUTURA DE DOS PIEZAS CONSTA DE UN CLAVO DE FIJACION (110) QUE QUEDA ACOPLADO DE MANERA DESLIZANTE DENTRO DE UN MIEMBRO DE ACOPLAMIENTO (120) QUE TIENE UNAS PATILLAS DE PUAS QUE SE PUEDEN EXPANDIR EN RESPUESTA A UN MOVIMIENTO PROXIMO DEL CLAVO DE FIJACION. LA HERRAMIENTA DE INSERCION DE LOS ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA (200) INCLUYE UNA PORCION DE CUERPO (210) Y UNA PORCION DE EJE QUE SE EXTIENDE DISTALMENTE (240). UNA REGION ANULAR (244) DEL EXTREMO DISTAL DE LA PORCION DE EJE SE ACOPLA A LAS PATILLAS DEL MIEMBRO DE ACOPLAMIENTO DE LOS ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA. HAY UN CANAL (242) FORMADO EN LA PORCION DE EJE ALINEADO RESPECTO A UN CANAL (212) FORMADO EN LA PORCION DE CUERPO PARA ACOMODAR A LA SUTURA. UNOS ELEMENTOS DE RETENCION DE LA AGUJA (220), COLOCADOS EN LA PORCION DE CUERPO DE LA HERRAMIENTA DE INSERCION DE LOS ELEMENTOS DE SUTURA, ACOPLAN LA AGUJA O AGUJAS QUIRURGICAS ACOPLADAS A LA SUTURA.
