Abstract

PURPOSE:To insert a suture between or into the tissues of a living body with a one-step action for ligation or suture. CONSTITUTION:A needle-shaped body serving as a passing means holding a suture 7 is fitted to the fitting section of a fitting member 2 serving as the first driving means. A receiving means receiving a suture 7 directly or via a needle-shaped body is fitted to the hole 4a of a holding member 4 serving as the second driving means. The fitting member 2 and the holding member 4 are rotatably fitted to a shaft 5 to constitute a suture inserting tool A. The fitting member 2 and the holding member 4 are operated to drive the needle-shaped body, and the needle-shaped body is inserted between or into tissues and coupled with the receiving means of the holding member 4. The receiving means applies pressing force to the coupled needle-shaped body or the suture 7 to hold it. When the fitting member 2 is separated from the holding member 4, the suture 7 or the needle-shaped body is held by the receiving means and removed from the fitting member 2, and it is inserted between or into tissues. The suture 7 is extended in the axial direction from the root end face of a needle holding a suture, and the needle is formed into a straight shape having a prescribed length.
