Definitions

  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a suturing device.
  • FIG. 12 is a schematic cross - sectional view of the lower portion of a variation of the needle holder of the suturing device of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 13 is a cross - sectional view of the lower portion of another variation of the needle holder of the suturing device of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 15 is a side view showing a variation of the elongate body and a variation of the needle holder of the suturing device.
  • FIG. 17 is an alternative embodiment of a suturing device, and FIG. 17A is an enlarged view of the circled portion in FIG. 17.
  • a distal end 70 of the actuator 12 which in the illustrated embodiment is located at a distal end of the wire 54, contacts the second end 32 of the needle 20 as the actuator 12 is moved from the first operating position (shown in FIGS. 1 and 3) toward the second operating position (shown in FIGS. 2 and 4) to move the needle 20 in the advance direction 36.
  • the actuator 12 could include a distal tube 72, which could be made from plastic, at a distal portion. As illustrated, the distal tube 72 connects with the wire 54.
  • the needle holder 16 includes a distal end section 140 having a distal-most tip 142.
  • the needle holder 16 defines a needle passage 144 that is in communication with the track 120 and a distal opening 146.
  • the distal opening 146 is offset from the longitudinal axis 56 in a forward direction.
  • the distal-most tip 142 is offset from the longitudinal axis 56 in a direction perpendicular from the longitudinal axis a distance L2 of less than 7 mm.
  • common tubular retractors used during minimally invasive spinal surgery procedures have diameters measuring between 14 mm to 22 mm.
  • the distal end section 140 of the needle holder 16 is configured to allow the second end 32 of the needle 20 to release from the needle holder 16 at a location offset from the distal-most tip 142 in a direction opposite to the advance direction 36.
  • the distal end section 140 of the needle holder 16 includes an offset edge 150 forming a part of a boundary of the distal opening 146 adjacent the location where the second end 32 of the needle 20 is released from the needle holder 16.
  • the first end 30 of the needle 20 can pass through the target tissue 24 from an internal side 26 of the target tissue 24 toward an outer side 28 of the target tissue 24.
  • the inner surface 162 of the needle holder 16 may be electro-polished to facilitate advancement of the needle 20 from the retracted position toward the released condition.
  • a gel or other lubricant can be provided in the needle passage 144. The gel or lubricant can help retain the needle 20 in the needle passage 144 of the needle holder 16 and also decrease friction between the needle 20 and the inner surface 162 during deployment of the needle 20 from the suturing device 10.
  • a needle retainer 172 can be provided to retain the needle 20 in the needle passage 144 after manufacturing and before use, e.g., during shipment.
  • the needle retainer 172 can be made from foam or a similar resilient material and covers the distal opening 146.
