縫合線、縫合線支撐體以及縫合線的製造方法 Suture, suture support, and method of manufacturing suture

本發明是有關於一種應用於外科手術的縫合線以及一種應用所述縫合線的縫合方法,且特別是有關於一種於縫合手術中無需打結步驟的縫合線;一種所述縫合線的製造方法;以及一種應用所述縫合線的縫合方法。 The present invention relates to a suture for use in surgery and a suturing method using the suture, and more particularly to a suture that does not require a knotting step in a suturing procedure; a method of manufacturing the suture And a method of suturing applying the suture.

於進行各式的外科手術例如是受損的肌肉、血管、神經、受傷或手術切口、雙眼皮手術、皺紋整形手術等等的縫合過程中,綁上繩結用以防止縫合部被縫合後縫合線鬆脫的過程是耗時、惱人且非常重要的會影響手術結果的工作。於縫合過程中,使用繩結來防止縫合處的起始部以及收尾部、或必要時的中段部的鬆脫。 In the suturing process of various types of surgical operations such as damaged muscles, blood vessels, nerves, injured or surgical incisions, double eyelid surgery, wrinkle plastic surgery, etc., the knot is tied to prevent the suture from being sutured and sutured. The process of loosening the thread is a time consuming, annoying and very important task that can affect the outcome of the procedure. During the suturing process, a knot is used to prevent loosening of the beginning and the end of the suture, or if necessary, the midsection.

由於縮短手術時間且儘可能越快完成手術是非常重要的,縫合與打結的技術對於穩定且高效率的手術是不可或缺的。然而,在利用例如腹腔鏡(laparoscope)、內視鏡(endoscope)或關節鏡(arthroscope)的手術過程中,要利用工具在一段距離下迅速地綁上繩結以接合身體的縫合部並不容易。 Since it is very important to shorten the operation time and complete the surgery as soon as possible, the technique of suturing and knotting is indispensable for stable and efficient surgery. However, in the course of surgery using, for example, a laparoscope, an endoscope or an arthroscope, it is not easy to use a tool to quickly attach a knot at a distance to engage the suture of the body. .

傳統上,為了於縫合過程中將縫合線綁上繩結,操作者在挾持縫合線時,使用兩種工具來固定或纏繞縫合線。由於操作兩種工具需要大空間,操作者須具備豐富經驗以儘可能在有限的空間,例如腹腔內,盡可能縮減手術縫合的時間。因此,一種方法以及一種縫合工具,舉例而言,具有極佳自由度的工具,如劍橋內視鏡(Cambridge endo)、真手(Real hand)、半 徑手術系統(Radius surgical system)等等或機械手被開發出來,用以容易地、迅速地且穩固地在有限空間內將縫合線綁上繩結。 Traditionally, in order to tie the suture to the knot during the stitching process, the operator uses two tools to secure or wind the suture while holding the suture. Since the operation of the two tools requires a large space, the operator must have extensive experience to minimize the time for surgical suturing in a limited space, such as the abdominal cavity. Thus, a method and a suturing tool, for example, have excellent degrees of freedom, such as Cambridge endo, Real hand, half A Radius surgical system or the like or a robot has been developed to easily and quickly and securely tie the suture to a knot in a limited space.

日本專利特許公開案第2006-25867號揭露一種手術用縫合線,縫合線在長度方向上編織成內部中空,而縫合尖端耦接縫合線的兩端部。日本專利特許公開案第2003-19683號揭露一種用以結紮以及縫合的外科機械手,以防止活體組織的損壞。然而,機械手,如有助於於內視鏡手術中縫合以及打結的達芬奇機器人系統(Davinci robot system),其相當昂貴且需要大的安裝空間,而無法被廣泛地使用。因此,有必要發展一種可在低成本下被輕易使用的縫合方法,以及實現該方法的縫合線與針。 Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-25867 discloses a surgical suture in which a suture is woven in the longitudinal direction to be hollow inside, and a suture tip is coupled to both ends of the suture. Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-19683 discloses a surgical manipulator for ligation and suturing to prevent damage to living tissue. However, robots, such as the Davinci robot system, which facilitate suturing and knotting in endoscopic surgery, are quite expensive and require a large installation space and cannot be widely used. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a suturing method that can be easily used at low cost, as well as sutures and needles that implement the method.

本發明提供一種可在外科手術的有限空間內迅速且輕易縫合的方法,一種用於所述方法的工具(縫合線支撐體、針容置體、一種具有縫合線支撐體及/或針容置體的縫合線),以及一種所述工具的製造方法。 The present invention provides a method for quick and easy suturing in a limited space of surgery, a tool for the method (suture support, needle housing, a suture support and/or needle accommodation) Body stitching), and a method of making the tool.

本發明提供一種在進行縫合時無需繫上部份或全部原本應繫上的繩結的縫合線、此縫合線的製造方法、此縫合線所需的縫合線支撐體、一種針容置體、以及一種使用所述縫合線的縫合方法。 The present invention provides a suture which does not need to be tied to some or all of the original knots when suturing, a method of manufacturing the suture, a suture support required for the suture, a needle receiving body, And a method of stitching using the suture.

根據本發明的觀點,提供一支撐體,用以防止縫合線的頂端於縫合期間遭扯入皮膚或組織;以及一縫 合線,支撐體耦接縫合線的一端。縫合線的另一端藉由縫合針通過縫合部位中的皮膚或組織,以進行縫合。當藉由縫合線縫合時,支撐體作為繩結,因此支撐體耦接的一端固定於縫合起始的部位。如此,由於無需擔心縫合線鬆脫,在縫合過程中不須打結。再者,相較於縫合線只具有一繩結的情形,本縫合線的一端可更穩固地固定於皮膚或組織。 According to the present invention, a support is provided to prevent the top end of the suture from being pulled into the skin or tissue during suturing; and a slit The wire is coupled to one end of the suture. The other end of the suture is sutured by suture needles through the skin or tissue in the suture site. When suturing by a suture, the support acts as a knot, so that one end of the support coupling is fixed to the site where the suture starts. Thus, since there is no need to worry about loosening of the suture, no knotting is required during the suturing process. Furthermore, one end of the suture can be more securely attached to the skin or tissue as compared to the case where the suture has only one knot.

根據本發明的另一觀點,提供具有貫穿兩端的貫穿孔的管件外型的一針容置體,以及具有所述針容置體的一縫合線。針容置體可具有平頭圓錐或平頭三角錐的外型,其貫穿孔直徑由一端部至另一端部增加,或者具有貫穿孔直徑不變的圓柱或角柱的外形。必要時,針容置體可以是堅固材料或彈性材料所形成。縫合針插入針容置體。耦接針容置體的縫合針的部分針主體可配合針容置體的貫穿孔的外形。縫合針的部分針主體的直徑大於針容置體的底端部的直徑。可自針容置體的底端部拉扯縫合針,以將縫合針自針容置體移除。縫合針連接針容置體。 According to another aspect of the present invention, a needle housing having a tubular shape having through holes penetrating through both ends, and a suture having the needle housing are provided. The needle receiving body may have a shape of a flat-headed cone or a flat-headed triangular pyramid, the through-hole diameter of which increases from one end to the other end, or the shape of a cylinder or a corner post having a constant through-hole diameter. The needle housing may be formed of a strong material or an elastic material as necessary. The suture needle is inserted into the needle housing. A part of the needle body of the suture needle coupled to the needle receiving body can fit the outer shape of the through hole of the needle receiving body. The diameter of a portion of the needle body of the suture needle is larger than the diameter of the bottom end portion of the needle housing. The suture needle can be pulled from the bottom end of the needle receiving body to remove the suture needle from the needle receiving body. The suture needle connects the needle housing.

根據本發明的另一觀點,提供具有針容置體以及縫合針的一縫合線,其中耦接針容置體的底端部的縫合針的部分針主體大於針容置體的底端部(端部具有相對較大的直徑)。針容置體可具有貫穿兩端的貫穿孔的管件外形,具有貫穿孔的直徑由一端部至另一端部增加的平頭圓錐或平頭三角錐的外形,或具有貫穿 孔直徑不變的圓柱或角柱的外形。縫合針連接針容置體。可自針容置體的底端部拉扯縫合針,以將縫合針自針容置體移除。 According to another aspect of the present invention, a suture having a needle accommodating body and a suture needle is provided, wherein a portion of the needle body of the suture needle coupled to the bottom end portion of the needle accommodating body is larger than a bottom end portion of the needle accommodating body ( The ends have a relatively large diameter). The needle receiving body may have a tubular shape extending through the through holes at both ends, and has a shape of a flat cone or a flat triangular pyramid whose diameter of the through hole increases from one end to the other end, or has a through shape The shape of a cylinder or a corner column with the same hole diameter. The suture needle connects the needle housing. The suture needle can be pulled from the bottom end of the needle receiving body to remove the suture needle from the needle receiving body.

根據本發明的另一觀點,提供一種製作支撐體及/或針容置體的方法。 According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of making a support and/or a needle receptacle is provided.

當具有針容置體的縫合針被使用時,在縫合的最後步驟中,自針容置體到組織內,縫合針刺入或插入圍繞縫合部的其他組織。然後,自針容置體的底端部拉扯縫合針,以將縫合針自針容置體移除。如此,縫合針移除後的針容置體仍留於組織中,而用以縫合的縫合線仍耦接針容置體。所以,即使未於縫合的最後部位打結,縫合並未被解開。 When a suture needle having a needle-receiving body is used, in the final step of suturing, the needle-accepting body is inserted into the tissue, and the suture needle penetrates or inserts other tissues surrounding the suture portion. Then, the suture needle is pulled from the bottom end portion of the needle accommodating body to remove the suture needle from the needle accommodating body. Thus, the needle receiving body after the suture needle is removed remains in the tissue, and the suture for suturing is still coupled to the needle receiving body. Therefore, even if the knot is not knotted at the last part of the stitching, the stitching is not released.

根據本發明,縫合針可促成沒有繫上繩結的牢固的縫合。當具有支撐體及/或針容置體的縫合線被使用時,無需花費時間繫上繩結即可獲得穩固的繩結效果。於是,藉由容易的縫合技術,縫合時間可顯著地減少。再者,縫合手術不採用需要經驗的縫合技術,便可以穩定地且容易地進行。 According to the present invention, the suture needle can contribute to a firm suture without a knot. When a suture having a support body and/or a needle-receiving body is used, it is not necessary to spend time to tie the knot to obtain a firm knot effect. Thus, with an easy stitching technique, the stitching time can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the suturing operation can be performed stably and easily without using a suture technique requiring experience.

此外,當根據本發明的縫合線被使用時,縫合手術可藉由單一工具完成。因此,即使利用內視鏡治療的區域是微小的,縫合可快速且精確地完成。 Furthermore, when a suture according to the present invention is used, the suturing operation can be performed by a single tool. Therefore, even if the area treated with the endoscope is minute, the suturing can be completed quickly and accurately.

此外,當本發明的縫合線、縫合針、針容置體以及支撐體是以活體可吸收的材料製造時,手術之後移除這些元件的過程可為不必要的。 Further, when the suture, the suture needle, the needle accommodating body, and the support of the present invention are made of a living body absorbable material, the process of removing these elements after the surgery may be unnecessary.

本發明將參照所伴隨的圖式更詳細地描述已表明之示範性實施例。然而,本發明可以不同形式體現,且不應受限於此闡述的實施例來詮釋,當然所提供的實施例使得揭露將徹底且完全,而更完整地將本發明的概念傳達給本技術領域中具有通常知識者。於圖式中,針部被誇大以易於理解本發明。應理解的是,連接於針或針容置體的線於實際運用上,其長度是相當長的。 The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The invention is not limited. The support 40 can have any shape and size that supports the suture 10 to prevent the ends of the suture 10 from being pulled into the suture. The support 40 may be a uniform solid or may have at least one hole at both ends of the support 40. For example, the support body 40 is a truncated cone and has a through hole penetrating both ends of the support body 40. The diameter of the hole or hole is larger than the suture in use. The support 40 may be, for example, nylon, polypropylene, for example, mesh fabric (MESH), polyvinyldene fluoride, unsaturated polyester, stainless steel, titanium, etc. It is formed of a material that is not absorbed by the living body, but the invention is not limited. Further, depending on the purpose, the support 40 may be formed of an absorbable material. For example, polylactic acid, polydiaxonone, A copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid or the like can be used, but the invention is not limited. When a material that can be absorbed by a living body is used, the support 40 does not need to be removed after suturing the human body.

一種耦接縫合線10與支撐體40的方法,其包括一種融解與結合縫合線之端部及/或縫合線耦接的部分支撐體的方法;一種形成至少一孔洞(例如圖8C中支撐體的孔洞41)的方法,將縫合線穿過孔洞,且將縫合線綁在一起或將縫合線繫上繩結42,使其具有大於支撐體中孔洞的直徑;以及一種將穿過一孔洞的縫合線朝一相反方向穿過另一孔洞的方法。然而,本發明不加以限制,且多種方法可被使用(圖1A至圖1F) A method of coupling a suture 10 and a support 40, comprising a method of fusing a portion of a support coupled to an end of the suture and/or a suture; forming at least one hole (eg, the support of Figure 8C) The method of the hole 41), the suture is passed through the hole, and the suture is tied together or the suture is tied to the knot 42 to have a diameter larger than the hole in the support; and a hole that will pass through the hole A method in which a suture passes through another hole in an opposite direction. However, the invention is not limited, and various methods can be used (Fig. 1A to Fig. 1F).

本發明的具有支撐體40的縫合線10使用時被插入縫合針或耦接針容置體。被使用的縫合針可由不被吸收的材料例如是金屬,或易於被吸收的材料例如聚對二氧環己酮所形成。縫合針整體為直線或曲線的外形。針尖可具有常見且廣泛使用的外形,例如球形或削尖的外形。 The suture 10 having the support 40 of the present invention is inserted into the suture needle or coupled to the needle receiving body when in use. The suture needle to be used may be formed of a material that is not absorbed, such as a metal, or a material that is easily absorbed, such as polydioxanone.

This not only helps the suture outside the body, but also helps the internal suture, such as endoscopic surgery.

圖2根據本發明之一實施例繪示具有支撐體40以及縫合針30的縫合線10。請參考圖2,平頭圓錐形式的支撐體被使用,此支撐體具有貫穿其兩端部的貫穿孔。當底面具有較大直徑的支撐體,如支撐體40,被設置為面向縫合針30時,可得到穩固的繩結效用。 2 illustrates a suture 10 having a support 40 and a suture needle 30, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 2, a support body in the form of a truncated cone having a through hole penetrating through both end portions thereof is used. When the support having a larger diameter on the bottom surface, such as the support 40, is disposed to face the suture needle 30, a stable knot effect can be obtained.

圖3A至圖3D繪示根據本發明之一實施例的針容置體20以及具有所述針容置體20的縫合線10。請參考圖3A至圖3D,本發明之針容置體20耦接縫合線10。針容置體20具有貫穿其兩端之貫穿孔的管件的外形,且具有平頭圓椎或平頭三角錐的外形,其貫穿孔的直徑由一端至另一端增加。考慮到被使用的縫合針的直徑,針容置體20中貫穿孔的直徑被調整為可供針通過並插入貫穿孔中。 3A-3D illustrate a needle housing 20 and a suture 10 having the needle housing 20, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 3A-3D, the needle receiving body 20 of the present invention is coupled to the suture 10. The needle housing 20 has an outer shape of a tubular member penetrating through the through holes at both ends thereof, and has an outer shape of a flat circular or flat triangular pyramid whose diameter increases from one end to the other end. In view of the diameter of the suture needle to be used, the diameter of the through hole in the needle housing 20 is adjusted to allow the needle to pass through and be inserted into the through hole.

一種耦接縫合線10至針容置體20的方法,其包括一種融解縫合線之一末端及/或耦接縫合線以黏附縫合線與針容置體的部分針容置體的方法;以及一種於針容置體形成至少一孔洞的方法,其中插入縫合線於孔洞中,並將縫合線繫上繩結或將縫合線綁在一起。然而,本發明不加以限制,且其他各種方法可被使用於此。 A method of coupling a suture 10 to a needle receiving body 20, comprising a method of melting one end of a suture and/or coupling a suture to adhere a portion of the needle receiving body of the suture to the needle receiving body; A method of forming at least one hole in a needle receiving body, wherein a suture is inserted into the hole, and the suture is tied or tied together. However, the invention is not limited, and various other methods can be used herein.

縫合針30耦接針容置體20。本發明使用之縫合針30,其包括一針主體31以及一針尖32,針尖32形成於針主體31的一端。針主體31的直徑由針尖32至針主體31的另一端逐漸增加。縫合針30插入縫合線10耦接的針容置體20,而進行縫合。在縫合的最後步驟中,縫合針30圍繞縫合部穿入其他組織,或圍繞縫合部穿入或刺入其他組織,用以將針容置體 20推入組織。然後,藉由朝針容置體20的一底端部21拉扯縫合針30,以移除縫合針30。如此,不具有縫合針30的針容置體20留於組織中,而用以縫合的縫合線10仍耦接針容置體20,因此在縫合的最後步驟中沒有繫上繩結,縫合可不致鬆脫。 The suture needle 30 is coupled to the needle housing 20 . The suture needle 30 used in the present invention includes a needle body 31 and a needle tip 32 formed at one end of the needle body 31. The diameter of the needle body 31 is gradually increased from the needle tip 32 to the other end of the needle body 31. The suture needle 30 is inserted into the needle accommodating body 20 to which the suture 10 is coupled, and is sutured. In the final step of suturing, the suture needle 30 penetrates other tissue around the suture, or penetrates or penetrates other tissue around the suture for receiving the needle 20 pushed into the organization. Then, the suture needle 30 is removed by pulling the suture needle 30 toward a bottom end portion 21 of the needle accommodating body 20. Thus, the needle receiving body 20 without the suture needle 30 remains in the tissue, and the suture 10 for suturing is still coupled to the needle receiving body 20, so that no knot is attached in the final step of the suturing, and the suture can be performed. Not loose.

由於針容置體20具有圓錐或三角錐的外形,其貫穿孔的直徑由針容置體20的一端部至另一端部增加,插入針容置體20的部分針主體31也具有朝其另一端逐漸增加的直徑。因此,於縫合過程中,當縫合線10在縫合針30被插入縫合部位之後被拉扯時,縫合針30不會自針容置體20被卸除。為此,針容置體20中的貫穿孔具有足以容置縫合針30的尺寸。再者,針容置體20前端部22的貫穿孔的尺寸小於具有最大直徑的部分針主體31的尺寸。 Since the needle housing 20 has a conical or triangular pyramid shape, the diameter of the through hole is increased from one end portion to the other end of the needle housing 20, and a part of the needle main body 31 inserted into the needle housing 20 also has another The diameter gradually increases at one end. Therefore, during the suturing process, when the suture 10 is pulled after the suture needle 30 is inserted into the suture portion, the suture needle 30 is not removed from the needle housing 20. To this end, the through hole in the needle housing 20 has a size sufficient to accommodate the suture needle 30. Further, the size of the through hole of the front end portion 22 of the needle accommodating body 20 is smaller than the size of the partial needle main body 31 having the largest diameter.

圖4A至圖4B繪示根據本發明另一實施例的針容置體以及縫合針的外形。當針容置體以及縫合針的部分或全部的針主體大於針容置體的底端部時,可形成斷差,且因此當縫合期間縫合針朝縫合方向被拉扯時,可防止縫合針自針容置被卸除。針容置體具有管件的外形,管件具有貫穿其兩末端的貫穿孔,且具有平頭圓錐或平頭三角錐的外形,其貫穿孔的直徑由一端至另一端增加(圖4A),或具有圓柱或角柱的外形,其貫穿孔的直徑固定(圖4B)。於上述方法中,縫合線耦接針容置體。 4A-4B illustrate the appearance of a needle receiving body and a suture needle according to another embodiment of the present invention. When the needle accommodating body and part or all of the needle main body of the suture needle are larger than the bottom end portion of the needle accommodating body, a gap can be formed, and thus the suture needle can be prevented from being self-sustained when the suture needle is pulled in the suturing direction during suturing The needle housing is removed. The needle accommodating body has a shape of a pipe member having a through hole penetrating through both ends thereof, and has a flat cone or a flat triangular pyramid shape, the diameter of the through hole is increased from one end to the other end (FIG. 4A), or has a cylinder or The shape of the corner post is fixed by the diameter of the through hole (Fig. 4B). In the above method, the suture is coupled to the needle receiving body.

本發明中使用的縫合針可通常具有筆直或彎曲的外形。針尖可具有常見且廣泛使用的外形,例如球形或削尖的形狀。針尖的長度以及厚度可適於其目的而調整。 The suture needle used in the present invention may generally have a straight or curved shape. The tip can have a common and widely used shape, such as a spherical or sharpened shape. The length and thickness of the tip can be adjusted for its purpose.

圖8A至圖8C繪示根據本發明之一實施例的帶倒刺的縫合線。請參考圖8A,二或多條縫合線10組合在一起,其中每一縫合線10的前半部以及後半部具有多個朝同一方向傾斜的倒刺50,倒刺50相對於縫合線10之長軸的傾斜角度小於九十度或大於九十度並小於一百八十度。然後,每一縫合線10的一末端耦接縫合針30,且每一縫合線10的另一端耦接支撐體40。在其他實施例中,如圖8B所示,一或多條縫合線10具有形成於縫合線10上的倒刺50,且倒刺50在前半部以及後半部朝相反方向傾斜。舉例而言,前半部的所有倒刺50相對於朝向縫合線10前端的縫合線10長軸的傾斜角度小於九十度,而後半部的所有倒刺50相對於朝向縫合線10後端的縫合線10長軸的傾斜角度小於九十度。縫合線10通過縫合針30的眼34後被對摺。然後,任一縫合線10的兩末端耦接支撐體40,或者任一對摺的縫合線10的一末端插入縫合針30並壓附於其上,而其另一末端耦接支撐體40。請參考圖8C,縫合線10之倒刺50的傾斜方向不同於圖8B中縫合線10之倒刺50的傾斜方向。於此情形下,縫合線10在通過支撐體40之孔洞41後被對摺且縫合線10兩末端耦接縫合針30。舉例而言,二、三或四條具有倒刺50的縫合線10得為使用,並可根據縫合線10的厚度或使用目的來調整縫合線10的 數量。縫合線10中倒刺50的方向示意地繪示於圖8A、圖8B以及圖8C中任一圖的右半邊。舉例而言,在本發明如上述所製造的縫合線10的範例中,如圖8所繪示,倒刺50朝支撐體40傾斜,因此形成相對於縫合線10長度方向的銳角。當倒刺50具有上述外形時,於縫合期間,縫合線10可滑順地向前行進,且倒刺50防止縫合線10朝縫合方向的相反方向行進。當縫合針30於縫合完成後切斷時,由於倒刺50,縫合線10不致鬆脫且因此無需繫上繩結。如此,當使用耦接支撐體40及/或針容置體20的二或多條具有倒刺50的縫合線10時,無需繫上繩結,且可得到更穩固的繩結效用。此外,相較於傳統使用的具有倒刺的縫合線的使用情形,因為縫合線的長度減少約一半或更多,單線可能於縫合期間拉斷。然而,當二或多條縫合線被使用時,縫合線的強度可增加至兩倍或更多,且因此縫合線可減少斷裂。此外,由於倒刺的數量或任一倒刺的接觸面增加至兩倍或更多,可得到更穩固的縫合且可防止縫合線反向行進。 8A-8C illustrate a barbed suture in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8A, two or more sutures 10 are combined, wherein the front half and the back half of each suture 10 have a plurality of barbs 50 inclined in the same direction, and the barbs 50 are long relative to the suture 10 The angle of inclination of the shaft is less than ninety degrees or greater than ninety degrees and less than one hundred and eighty degrees. Then, one end of each suture 10 is coupled to the suture needle 30, and the other end of each suture 10 is coupled to the support body 40. In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 8B, the one or more sutures 10 have barbs 50 formed on the suture 10, and the barbs 50 are inclined in opposite directions in the front and rear halves. For example, the angle of inclination of all of the barbs 50 of the front half relative to the major axis of the suture 10 toward the front end of the suture 10 is less than ninety degrees, while all of the barbs 50 of the second half are relative to the suture of the rear end of the suture 10 The inclination angle of the 10 long axis is less than ninety degrees. The suture 10 is folded over by the eye 34 of the needle 30. Then, the ends of either of the sutures 10 are coupled to the support 40, or one end of any of the folded stitches 10 is inserted into the suture needle 30 and pressed thereto, and the other end thereof is coupled to the support 40. Referring to FIG. 8C, the oblique direction of the barb 50 of the suture 10 is different from the oblique direction of the barb 50 of the suture 10 in FIG. 8B. In this case, the suture 10 is folded over after passing through the hole 41 of the support 40 and the ends of the suture 10 are coupled to the suture needle 30. For example, two, three or four sutures 10 having barbs 50 are used, and the suture 10 can be adjusted depending on the thickness of the suture 10 or the purpose of use. Quantity. The direction of the barbs 50 in the suture 10 is schematically illustrated in the right half of any of Figures 8A, 8B, and 8C. For example, in the example of the suture 10 of the present invention as described above, as shown in FIG. 8, the barbs 50 are inclined toward the support 40, thus forming an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the suture 10. When the barbs 50 have the above-described outer shape, the suture 10 can smoothly travel forward during suturing, and the barbs 50 prevent the suture 10 from traveling in the opposite direction of the suture direction. When the suture needle 30 is severed after the suturing is completed, the suture 10 is not loosened due to the barb 50 and thus there is no need to tie the knot. As such, when two or more sutures 10 having barbs 50 coupled to the support 40 and/or the needle receiving body 20 are used, there is no need to tie the knot and a more secure knot effect can be obtained. Moreover, as compared to the use of barbed sutures conventionally used, as the length of the suture is reduced by about half or more, the single thread may be broken during suturing. However, when two or more sutures are used, the strength of the suture can be increased by a factor of two or more, and thus the suture can reduce breakage. In addition, since the number of barbs or the contact surface of any barb is increased by a factor of two or more, a more stable stitching can be obtained and the suture can be prevented from traveling backward.

在本發明另一實施例中,支撐體40耦接縫合線10一端且縫合針30耦接其另一端,而額外的支撐體或圓錐51具有平頭圓錐或平頭三角錐的外形,且具有貫穿支撐體40兩端的貫穿孔。支撐體40插入於縫合線10其接近縫合針30的位置,如圖9A及圖9B所繪示。平頭圓錐產生較少的摩擦,更適於作為圓錐51。圓錐51被設置為使其具有較小直徑的一部分(前端)可面向縫合針30以及兩繩結A 以及B,每一繩結具有大於前端的直徑,且分別被形成於前端之前及之後(圖9A以及圖9B)。兩繩結A以及B彼此靠近。繩結A防止圓錐51於縫合後且縫合針30移除之後脫離。繩結B防止圓錐51於縫合期間被反向牽引。即使當縫合完成且縫合針30移除時,圓錐51仍置留於縫合線10的末端。因此,不需在縫合之後繫上繩結,也無需擔心縫合線10沒有繫上繩結。另一額外的支撐體,如平頭圓錐或三角錐51更可被提供於繩結A之前,且具有面向縫合針30的較小直徑的表面(前端)。如此,繩結A可於縫合期間輕易地通過組織,且縫合可被輕易地完成(圖9B)。當縫合針於縫合之後移除時,前面的圓錐51隨之移除,且因此繩結A以及後面的圓錐51可防止縫合線10鬆脫,如圖9A。圓錐51可以由可吸收的材料,例如聚左旋丙交酯(L-Lactide)以及乙交酯(Glycolide)的共聚物,或不可吸收的材料,例如聚丙烯,所形成。圓錐51的長度例如約為一毫米至十豪米。然而,本發明不加以限制,且長度可根據使用的位置以及目的調整。圓錐51中貫穿支撐體40兩端的貫穿孔的直徑可為:例如,在前端具有相對較小的直徑,約零點一至二毫米,而在後端具有相對較大的直徑,約零點五至五毫米。然而,本發明不加以限制,且直徑可根據縫合線的厚度及目的來調整。 In another embodiment of the present invention, the support body 40 is coupled to one end of the suture 10 and the suture needle 30 is coupled to the other end thereof, and the additional support body or cone 51 has the shape of a flat cone or a flat triangular pyramid and has a through support. Through holes at both ends of the body 40. The support 40 is inserted into the suture 10 at a position close to the suture needle 30, as depicted in Figures 9A and 9B. The flat cone produces less friction and is more suitable as a cone 51. The cone 51 is disposed such that a portion (front end) having a smaller diameter can face the suture needle 30 and the two knots A And B, each of the knots has a diameter larger than the front end, and is formed before and after the front end, respectively (Figs. 9A and 9B). The two knots A and B are close to each other. The knot A prevents the cone 51 from detaching after suturing and after the suture needle 30 is removed. The knot B prevents the cone 51 from being pulled back during the suture. The conical 51 remains at the end of the suture 10 even when the suturing is completed and the suture needle 30 is removed. Therefore, it is not necessary to tie the knot after suturing, and there is no need to worry that the suture 10 is not tied. Another additional support, such as a truncated cone or triangular cone 51, can be provided in front of the knot A and has a smaller diameter surface (front end) facing the suture needle 30. As such, the knot A can easily pass through the tissue during suturing, and the stitching can be easily accomplished (Fig. 9B). When the suture needle is removed after suturing, the front cone 51 is removed, and thus the knot A and the rear cone 51 prevent the suture 10 from coming loose, as in Figure 9A. The cone 51 may be formed of an absorbable material such as a copolymer of L-Lactide and Glycolide, or a non-absorbable material such as polypropylene. The length of the cone 51 is, for example, about one millimeter to ten kilometers. However, the invention is not limited, and the length can be adjusted depending on the position and purpose of use. The diameter of the through hole penetrating the both ends of the support body 40 in the cone 51 may be, for example, a relatively small diameter at the front end, about one to two millimeters at zero, and a relatively large diameter at the rear end, about zero five. Up to five millimeters. However, the invention is not limited, and the diameter can be adjusted according to the thickness and purpose of the suture.
