Abstract

This invention is an expandable suture (10) that has a suture body (11) that is formed in the manufacturing process over at least one pledget device (13) that has an elongate shape with essentially a constant cross section along its midsection, and is of a diameter to fit snugly into a hole formed in a bone, ligament, tendon, or the like. The pledget device (13) can be formed from a cloth, fabric or resinous material, is preferably resilient, is positioned in the suture body (11) during manufacture or can be arranged on a cord or string (14) where the suture body (11) is formed during its manufacture as by weaving suture threads or strands thereover. For forming a hole in bone, ligament or tendon to receive the pledget device pulled therein, a needle or needles (12) are secured to the suture body end or ends (11a, 11b) for forming the hole and pulling the suture body (11) therethrough.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 6 May 1 97 (06 05 97), original claims I and 6 amended, new claims 9-12 added, remaining claims unchanged 0 pages)]
1. An expandable body suture comprising, a suture body formed from conventional suture materials as an envelope to fully contain at least one pledget device that has an elongate body having a greater diameter than the diameter of the suture body adjacent to said pledget and is formed of a biocompatible material; a guide means having a cross sectional diameter that is equal to or slightly less than the diameter of said suture body portion and covered pledget device and is secured to an end of said suture body.
2. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 1, wherein the suture body, in its manufacture, is formed by braiding, or otherwise forming, suture threads over the pledget device that has a substantially round, elliptical, square, rectangular or triangular cross section.
3. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 1, wherein the pledget device is arranged on a cord or string and the suture body is formed over the cord or string and pledget device.
4. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 3, wherein the pledget device is formed from a plastic or resinous material secured onto the cord or string.
5. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 1, wherein the pledget device is formed from a braided cloth or fabric material.
6. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 1, wherein the guide means is at least one needle that is secured at a needle base end onto a suture body end; and the suture body portion covering the pledget device is formed to have a diameter that is slightly greater than said needle to fit snugly into a hole formed by said needle in a bone, ligament, tendon, section of tissue, or the like.
7. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim l, wherein a plurality of pledget devices are maintained at spaced intervals within the suture body.
8. An expandable body suture as recited in Claim 1, formed as a monofilament.
9. A method for attaching a suture to a bone utilizing a suture having a body portion that is an envelope fitted over to contain an elongate pledget device with a suture end secured to a guide having a cross sectional diameter that is the same or slightly greater than the suture envelope and pledget device diameter consisting of, forming a hole through a bone or section of tissue to have a diameter that is approximately the diameter of the guide or less; fitting the guide into said bone or tissue hole and pulling said suture through said bone or tissue hole to where the pledget device contained in said suture travels in said bone or tissue hole; and maintaining said pledget device in said bone or tissue hole.
10. A method as recited in Claim 9, wherein the guide is a needle and the end of the suture is secured to a blunt end of said
1 4
AMENDED SHECT (ARTICLE 19) needle, with a sharp end of said needle for use in forming the bone or tissue hole.
11. A method as recited in Claim 9, wherein a plurality of pledget devices are fitted end to end in the suture body portion.
12. A method as recited in Claim 9, wherein the bone or tissue hole is formed to have a slightly smaller diameter than the diameter of the suture body portion containing the pledget device.
