Description

Plastic Surgery Room {SURGICAL THREAD “APTOS” FOR COSMETIC SURGERY}

The present invention relates to medical devices and methods for performing surgical or plastic surgery. More specifically, the present invention relates to medical materials used in plastic surgery in plastic surgery.

The operating rooms used for plastic surgery have long been known. (Ya. Zoltan, "Surgical technique and conditions for optimal wound healing", "Meditsina", Budafest, 1977).

These threads are made of various materials such as metal, polymer, and biological materials. The basic properties of the yarns used here include strength, smooth surface, density and biological inertness. The thread should be well knotted and not loosened.

Depending on the type of surgery, various surgical threads are used (International Conference "Present-day approaches to development of effective dressing and suturing materials and polymeric implants", Moscow, 1995, Institute of Surgery named after A.V. Vishnevskii). These threads are made of tantalum, gold, silver, nickel or other wires. Non-metallic yarns are usually made of dacron, nylon, capron, polypropylene, vicryl, polysorb, and the like. Also, monolithic, braided, braided yarns are used.

The basic properties of the yarns are strength, smooth surface, density, biological inertness, and the like. Threads with slanted projections (see German patent DE 1810800, June 6, 1970, A614 17/00) may be used to penetrate tissue in one direction. This thread is used for sutures and intestinal sutures to quickly complete surgery, reduce surgical injuries, and remove traces of wounds.

Correction of sewage (dentation) of facial wrinkles or soft tissues resulting from reduced or lost skin elasticity remains one of the important problems in plastic surgery. Using the operating rooms described above did not achieve the desired cosmetic effect. This seal can hold soft tissues in place, but has the disadvantage of not providing a lifting effect. Therefore, it was not efficient to use these threads in soft tissues of stretched and recessed parts.

The prior art closest to the nature of the invention is the Danish patent DE 1810800 (A61L 17/00, June 4, 1970) and International Publication No. WO98 / 52473 (A61B), used for the closure of open wounds in surgical operations. 17/04, November 26, 1998), and the operating room for plastic surgery disclosed in PCT / RU99 / 00263.

These yarns have barbs in the shape of their surfaces that allow them to achieve their intended purpose.

Since the spine-like protrusions on the surface of these threads are arranged in one direction, it cannot provide a lifting action, that is, to soften the soft tissue and securely fix it in a new position, which is stable and long in the lifting procedure. This action is necessary to achieve a lasting effect. In addition, it is also impossible to use yarns having spinous protrusions projecting in opposite directions from the center of the yarn to achieve this object. Because these threads are fixed on one or both sides of the thread and can only be pulled toward the center of the thread in the tissue.

These prior art problems are directed to a surgical operating room made of a metallic material (metal except iron), a polymeric material or a biological material, with a continuous arrangement of deflected protrusions along the longitudinal direction of the thread, according to the present invention. This can be solved by applying conical projections that are pointed and elastic. The protrusions are located on one side or several sides (eg zigzag) of the cross section of the yarn, and are formed such that the slopes of the protrusions are continuously staggered. This thread is stitched into the surgical needle and inserted into the tissue through the hole in the needle tip.

The direction and position of the protrusions, when the thread is inserted into the cell, fix the thread and the soft tissue in appropriate positions, respectively.

The height of the end of the protrusion protruding onto the thread is preferably not smaller than the diameter of the thread, and the spacing between the protrusions is preferably not more than twice the diameter of the thread.

As a variant of the invention, threads with projections inclined in opposite directions on opposite sides can also be made.

In another variant of the invention, there is also an operating room having projections on both sides whose alternating slopes alternate.

In another variant of the invention, there is a thread in which protrusions protruding along one or several sides of the thread are in opposite directions from the center of the thread.

In another variant of the invention, the protrusions are formed in the form of needles in the muff (fixed on the thread), the needles are to have an alternating inclined direction.

In the following, the present invention is described with specific embodiments for its practical application, each of which is as follows.

Figure 1 illustrates a plastic surgery yarn in which protrusions are formed alternately on four sides along the cross section of the yarn.

2 illustrates a surgical thread having slanted protrusions formed on two sides of the thread.

3 illustrates a surgical thread having protrusions inclined in opposite directions on two opposing sides of the thread.

4 illustrates a surgical thread having a needle-like protrusion and a fixing muff inclined in the opposite direction.

5 illustrates a surgical thread in which the inclined protrusions are formed in opposite directions from the center on two sides of the thread.

6 illustrates a method of inserting a thread into a subcutaneous tissue using an aspiration needle.

Figure 7 shows the position of the operating room when lifting the facial soft tissue (lifting).

Figure 8 shows a cross section of the tissue and the tissue is fixed through the operating room.

A plastic surgery operating room (1) is disclosed in which inclined protrusions (2) in the form of thorns (3) having pointed ends (4) and having flexibility and elasticity are continuously arranged along the longitudinal direction of the thread.

In Fig. 1, there are shown spine-shaped projections 3; 5, which are located zigzag on the four sides of the yarn, and the projection slopes are continuously staggered.

The height 6 of the protruding end 4 protruding onto the yarn should not be smaller than the diameter of the thread, and the spacing 7 between the projections should not be smaller than twice the diameter of the thread. When forming the protruding incisions shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 5, it is preferable that the size of the bottom 8 of the projection is about 1/3 of the diameter of the thread.

In Fig. 4, the inclined protrusion cutouts of the thread are made in the form of a needle 9 with a muff 10 for fixing them to the thread. The above-described parameters for the formation of the protrusion of the thread and its procedure are in accordance with the necessity that the protrusion ends of the thread have flexibility and elasticity in order to prevent breakage of the thread and to be well engaged with the subcutaneous tissue.

 FIG. 6 shows a state in which a thread is inserted under a soft and drooping part of an older face and pulled for the purpose of picking up wrinkles. An aspiration needle 11 is used to make a hole in the temple skin. The needle is then moved along the predetermined procedure line to the wrinkle area near the nasal lip. Through the hole in the needle, a projection thread is inserted and the skin and soft tissues are distributed where the wrinkles are lifted.

7 shows that the needle is pulled, and the protrusion in the thread prevents the thread from slipping out, so that the thread remains and the cells remain pulled out, and the end 12 of the thread extends out of the skin.

Thereafter, both ends of the thread are cut near the surface of the skin and buried into the skin. In this case, the entire wrinkled soft tissue is lifted uniformly so that the wrinkles and skin wrinkles are smoothed out.

8 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the soft tissue area where the skin 13, subcutaneous fat 14 and thread are fixed.

In order to ensure the effect of the present invention, it is possible to use a plurality of strands of the yarns to be applied to the facial part where aging has occurred. Using these threads to remove wrinkles eliminates the need for surgically serious operations such as liposuction or eye wrinkle removal.

Treatment with these threads is simple, free of bleeding and no scarring. The procedure can be performed without hospitalization under local anesthesia and has a short recovery period.

The present invention can be used in various plastic surgery as described above. The invention may also be used in other surgical operations.
