Description

DESCRIPTION

DOUBLE - HEADED BLADE NEEDLE THE RELATED ART

The invention relates to a double-headed needle which performs suturing operation in tissue lifting/suspending used in surgical field.

The invention particularly relates to a double-headed blade needle, which prevents deterioration of aesthetic appearance on the skin and formation of symptoms such as haemorrhage or bruising, and opens space on the skin and/or tissue by means of a blade positioned on at least one side thereof.

THE PRIOR ART

The double-headed needle allows the suture to be performed only under the tissue without getting above the tissue during tissue lifting.

However, its present counterparts have technical deficiencies. The double-headed needle causes tissue recession at the area of suturing. This means that a cavitation is formed in that region. For this reason, the use of double-headed needle causes aesthetic defects in the appearance of the skin following suturing operation.

The technique developed to solve the above problem leads to another problem. In order to prevent cavitation caused by the use of the double-headed needle, incision is made on the area where suturing is to be made via the double-headed needle. This incision causes negative side effects such as hemorrhage and bruising in that area.

Due to these problems, the key point in tissue lifting/suspending operation is the deterioration of the skin aesthetics during the suturing process and / or physically damaging effects formed on the tissue surface.

In the literature research, the application No. TR2006/02413, entitled "Circular needle pusher", class A61 B 17/06 IPC is used in atraumatic suturing operations at places with depth of up to 30 cm. The body of the circular needle pusher; is brought the suturing area in the operation region, as the needle with a suture attached to the rear part thereof is mounted at the needle seat; and the needle seat is in closed position. The needle pushing trigger is pulled backwards and the needle is allowed to pass through the tissue so that the needle tip enters between the jaws. The needle catching trigger is retracted to ensure that the needle is tightened between the jaws. And the locking mechanism is locked. The needle pushing trigger is pushed forward, and since the needle is tightened between the jaws, the needle seat is released from the needle and returns back in empty state. The body is pulled outward as the suture is passed through the tissue and connected to the needle.

Another invention encountered in the literature is entitled "A hanging needle", with the IPC classification A61 B 17/00 and application No. TR 2013/12861 . The invention relates to a hanging needle, which, in its most basic form, is sent in the form of a ring into the abdomen during surgery and can be easily opened by rotating with two holding tools, can be easily closed in the form of a ring by rotating, and thus the sharp ends can cover and conceal each other. With the concealment of the sharp ends, the unwanted stinging to organs and formations in the blood is prevented. Another invention encountered in the literature is entitled "A surgical needle used in laparoscopic surgery", with the IPC classification A61 B 1/313 and application No. TR 2009/01912. The invention relates to a surgical needle used form suturing the fascial holes formed in laparoscopic surgery and comprising a front piece, one end of which has a sharp and closed form while the other end of which has curly shape and thickness such that the suture can barely pass, a rear piece which is attached to the open end of the front piece and can be removed and reattached at any time during surgery, and a surgical thread (suture) that is embedded in the front piece and that extends out through the rear piece attached to the open end of the front piece. When the above given inventions are examined, no distinguishing improvement is found that would separate the double-headed needles from the other products more prominently. In addition, there is no improvement to prevent problems that may occur during suturing.

As a result, improvement is to be made in double-headed needles that would eliminate the above said drawbacks and bring solutions to the problems of the prior art systems are needed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a double-headed blade needle product described above.

The main purpose of the invention is to prevent aesthetic deteriorations that occur during suturing. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the occurrence of symptoms such as hemorrhage and bruising due to incisions formed during use of double-headed needles.

Another purpose of the invention is to prevent tissue recession and formation of cavity in the tissue during the use of the double-headed needle in suturing in the tissue suspending operation.

Another purpose of the invention is to form an incision on the skin and/or tissue while penetrating the skin and/or the tissue, by means of the blades positioned on the sides thereon, and similarly, getting out by forming an incision while getting out of the skin and/or tissue after moving below the skin and/or tissue. In this way, situations that would cause aesthetical problems such as a cavitation, bruising, or tissue recession on the skin as described above would be eliminated. In order to achieve the above said purposes which would be understood better with the below given detailed description, The invention is a double-headed needle used in surgical field for suturing operation in tissue lifting/suspending, and comprising a hole for allowing the suture to move within tissue, and it is characterized in that; it comprises a blade positioned on at least one side of said double-headed needle in order to form an incision on the skin and/or tissue so as to allow entrance and exit of the double-headed needle and thus preventing formation of bruising and cavitations on the skin.

For better understanding of the embodiment of the present invention and its advantages with its additional components, it should be evaluated together with below described figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a double-headed needle (1 ), which meets the above said requirements, eliminates all of the drawbacks, and brings some additional advantages. In this detailed description, the novelty according to the invention is only disclosed for better understanding of the subject without forming any limiting effect. Accordingly, in the following detailed description and figures, a double-headed needle (1 ) used in surgical field for suturing operation in tissue lifting/suspending, comprising a hole (1 .1 ) for allowing the suture to move within tissue during suturing, and a blade (1 .2) for preventing formation of bruising and cavitations on the skin by opening spaces on the skin and/or tissue by forming incisions, and structural components forming this mechanism are disclosed.

Figure 1 shows a general front view of the double-headed needle (1 ) in mounted state. As can be seen here, the double-headed needle (1 ) consists of a hole (1 .1 ) and a blade (1 .2) as the main components.

As shown in Figure 1 , the hole (1 .1 ) provides a space for the suture to move within the double-headed needle (1 ) during suturing.

As seen in Figure 1 , the preferred blade (1 .2) component to be used in this invention allows opening space on the skin by forming an incision on the skin.

While the knife (1 .2) can be positioned on at least one side of the product, it may as well be positioned on both sides. Said blade (1 .2) allows the double-headed needle (1 ) to move under the skin by rotational motion. The blade (1 .2) makes an incision on the skin and/or tissue so as to ensure entrance and exit of the double-headed needle (1 ).

After the double-headed needle (1 ) enters/penetrates into the skin, the blade (1 .2) found at both sides of the product, cuts the skin and allows the double-headed needle (1 ) to exit from below the skin.

The blade (1 .2) forms an incision while double-headed needle (1 ) gets out from below the skin, which prevents a complication that may occur in that region.

The double-headed needle (1 ) according to the invention has the following configuration: The product is formed with a boomerang view. It has a hole (1 .1 ) through which the suture can pass. The blade (1 .2) is positioned on at least one side thereof. The blades (1 .2) are preferably two pieces. One of the blades (1 .2) cuts the skin and leaves room for the double- headed needle (1 ). The double-headed needle (1 ) performs the suturing operation while being suspended on the skin. While getting out of the skin, one of the blades (1 .2) forms a new incision on the skin and the double-headed needle (1 ) gets out from this incision. In this way, the suturing operation is completed without harming the skin. The double-headed needle (1 ) is then made ready for use in suturing in surgical operations.
