Definitions
- Deep Suture is a needle holder made by
- rotatable rod having a control handle at the proximal end and a drive gear at the distal end.
- pair of driven gears are positioned at the periphery of the drive gear at opposite sides thereof,
- each driven gear coupled to an arm or wing that pivots radially outward from the shaft when the
- Each wing includes a recess or blind hole for receiving the proximal
- each needle can move.
- the device with wings retracted, is inserted down into the opening in the abdominal wall produced by a trocar. During insertion the
- the needles may become dislodged and separate
- the new invention provides in combination an improved needle and improved
- Each needle has a groove in
- grooves in the needles are preferably inclined downward.
- the needles are situated with their proximal ends in the blind holes in the wings and the suture line extending from each needle is drawn downward to lie in the groove.
- the needles are urged downward because the groove through which the suture is pulled
- Fig. 1 is an exploded elevation of the new device and the new needles.
- Fig. 2A is an elevation of the new device
- Figs. 2B, 2C, and 2D are fragmentary
- Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevation partially cut away showing the drive mechanism.
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 in Fig. 3, with the wings closed.
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 4 with the wings open.
- Fig. 6 is fragmentary section view of the new needle
- Figs. 7 and 8 are fragmentary front and side views of the needle of Fig. 6.
- Fig. 9 is a fragmentary' front view shown schematically of a needle with a groove
- Fig. 10 is a schematic view of the new device when inserted and the wings are open.
- Fig. 1 1 is a schematic view similar to Fig. 10.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment 10 of the new suturing device including the central shaft
- wing 17 At the distal end are wings 17, grooves or channels 18 corresponding in length to the needles to receive the needles and guide notch 19.
- a cleaning port 20 In handle 15 is a cleaning port 20.
- a depth gage 21 Along the length of shaft 12 is a depth gage 21. Also shown are needles 21 and suture 22 positioned for insertion
- Fig. 2A shows device 10 oriented upside down relative to Fig. 1, with the wings 17 in
- FIG. 2B shows the distal end 19 of the device with the wings partially
- Fig. 2C shows the distal end with the wings fully open; and Fig. 2D shows the distal end
- Figs. 3 and 4 show a typical drive mechanism 30 for the new device, the components
- Needles 42 are removably situated in blind holes 38 in the wings.
- wings in closed position are designated by 37' in Fig. 3 along with needles 42' in closed position.
- control knob rotates rod 32 and drive gear 41. This causes
- Figs. 6-16 show a new needle 45 with its groove 46 and end 47 of suture 48 swedged
- the groove 46 may extend to various depths or as a blind hole for receiving the end of
- the groove and/or hole may be formed by cutting, lancing, forging or other
- Securing the suture end to the needle is thereafter done by swedging, peening or otherwise deforming the metal of the needle adjacent the suture to achieve a clamping action on the suture.
- Other adhering techniques may be used, but ideally the suture extends from the
- the groove is oriented to lead the suture out of the side surface of the needle at an angle
- the surface of the needle is near the proximal end or closer to that end than the point.
- the new device and new needles herein described may be used for closing trochar holes
- a further feature of this invention is a cleaning port and Luer fitting situated in the handle. When opened the port allows high pressure cleaning solution from a syringe or other
- Fig. 10 shows schematically the suturing device 50 inserted through he abdominal wall
- Suture ends 55 and 56 extend from needles 53 and 54 respectively in a downward direction of arrows 57
- the insertion device is made of stainless steel or equivalent, with a plastic handle or as
- suture material about 3-10 cm.
- a great variety of commercially available suture material may be selected as
