Abstract

1,264,002. Suture package. ETHICON Inc. 14 Feb., 1969 [16 Feb., 1968], No. 36854/71. Divided out of 1,264,001. Heading A5R. [Also in Division B8] A surgical suture 20 comprising, e.g. polymeric monofilaments, silk, or cotton, is wound upon a blank panel 40 in a multiplicity of figure eight convolutions utilising hemispherical jig figures extending through apertures 43 in the panel 40 whereby the panel 40, or the jig, is retracted to permit panel 41 to be folded over the coiled suture 20 and locked in position by a tab 45 entering a locking slot when panel 42 is folded over the needle 23 positioned on the panel 41, over a notch 47 in a foreshortened end thereof. The panel 42 is locked over panel 41 by a tapered tab 48 which is folded into a locking slot defined by a rectangular opening 49 centered on the fold line between panels 40 and 41. To assist in positioning the needle 22 it is laid along a curved ridge provided by a slot 53 in panel 41 and the point of the needle 23 inserted through a hole at the end of the slot 53. To facilitate unlocking of the tab 48 and unfolding of panel 42, this is recessed at 52 to enable manual engagement of panel 41. The packaged suture may be closed within an outer hermetically sealed container or envelope (50), Fig. 6 (not printed), provided with a tear line (51) at one end.
