In the drawing, the second coupling A case in which the first through hole 132 is formed in the portion 137 is shown.

The body part 110 may be directly fixed to the body by forming an adhesive layer on the lower side of the bottom surface 125 of the body part 110, but in this embodiment, the adhesive sheet member 150 is separately formed to Fix (110) on the skin.

The adhesive sheet member 150 is a plate-shaped member having a predetermined area in a shape such as a circle or a rectangle, and an adhesive layer (not shown) is formed by attaching an adhesive tape or applying an adhesive material to the lower surface so that it can be attached to the skin of the wound area. Is formed. At this time, the release film 160 covering the adhesive layer is formed to protect the adhesive layer, remove the release film 160, and press the adhesive sheet member 150 so that the adhesive layer contacts the skin. The suture retainer 100 can be attached to the skin.

At this time, since the adhesive sheet member 150 must be firmly attached without lifting along the curved surface of the human body when attached to the skin, it is preferable to be formed of a soft material. For example, it may be formed of a thin fabric made of a nonwoven fabric, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, a plurality of perforations 158 may be formed in the adhesive sheet member 150 as shown in FIG. 1. The perforation 158 serves to increase the adhesion of the adhesive sheet member 150 formed of a soft material, and further, maintain the skin to which the adhesive sheet member 150 is attached to maintain contact with air.

The body portion 110 is fixed to the adhesive sheet member 150, and may be formed by being separated into a lower adhesive sheet member 155 and an upper adhesive sheet member 152 to firmly fix the body portion 110. The lower adhesive sheet member 155 on which the adhesive layer is formed and the upper adhesive sheet member 152 are bonded to each other to form the adhesive sheet member 150, which extends horizontally in the form of a flange at the lower end of the first body portion 120. The flange portion 124 is formed, and the flange portion 124 of the first body portion 120 is interposed between the lower adhesive sheet member 155 and the upper adhesive sheet member 152 so that the lower adhesive sheet member 155 The body portion 110 can be firmly fixed to the adhesive sheet member 150 by the strong adhesive force between the and the upper adhesive sheet member 152. At this time, a hole 152 may be formed in the upper adhesive sheet member 152 so that the body portion 110 other than the flange portion 124 to be described later passes.

The suture rotation tightening part 140 is inserted into a cylindrical groove or hole formed inward from the upper surface 135 of the body part 110 in a cylindrical shape and rotates, and at one end of the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder inserted into the body part 110 A second gear 146 geared to the first gear 136 may be formed along the circumference of the outer circumferential surface. Accordingly, the suture rotation tightening portion 140 inserted into the body portion 110 may be rotated within the body portion 110 by the gear coupling. At this time, it is preferable to configure the suture rotation tightening unit 140 to rotate only in one direction according to the shape of the gear.

Further, a second through hole 142 through which the suture 200 passes may be formed at the lower end of the suture rotation tightening portion 140. Accordingly, the suture 200 injected through the first through hole 132 formed on one side of the body 110 passes through the second through hole 142 of the suture rotation tightening unit 140 and passes through the body part. The suture 200 may be coupled to pass through the first through hole 132 formed on the other side of the opposite side of 110.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the suture rotation tightening part 140 is rotated in one direction, the suture 200 is wound along the outer circumferential surface of the suture rotation tightening part 140 or the movement path of the suture 200 is long.
