Definitions
- the invention relates to suturing devices.
- suturing of living tissue was carried out entirely by hand, using needles and thread. It is now common practice to utilise specialised sutures which are manufactured already attached to the butt end of a needle. Once the suture has been passed through the tissue using the needle, the needle is removed by cutting the suture and the free ends of the suture can then be tied in any desired manner.
- Suturing devices are known to assist in passing a needle through tissue to be sutured, particularly when the wound to be sutured lies within a body cavity, for example during arthroscopic surgery, but known suturing devices still require the use of two hands. It may for example still be necessary to hold a device in one hand and forceps in the other.
- the invention solves one of the problems associated with known suturing devices by providing a suturing device which can be operated single-handedly.
- the invention provides a suturing device comprising a body shaped to be held in one hand, first holding means arrangeable to hold the butt end of a needle, to which a suture is attached, such that the body can be manoeuvred to pass the pointed end of the needle into and then out of tissue to be sutured, the device also having second holding means operable to hold the pointed end of the needle after the pointed end of the needle has emerged from the tissue, the device being such that the needle can then be drawn away from the first holding means and the tissue, to pull one end of the suture out of the tissue so that after the needle has been removed from the suture the two ends of the suture can be tied as desired.
- the first and second holding means are mounted at the leading end of an elongated nose which extends from the body.
- the first holding means may comprise a socket in which the butt end of the needle can be located.
- the device may be such that the butt end of the needle can be retained in the socket by applying tension to the suture.
- the body may have means to maintain tension on the suture.
- the means to maintain tension may comprise a tension spring to which the suture is attachable.
- the first holding means may be movable with respect to the body to facilitate movement of the needle through the tissue.
- the first holding means may be rotatable with respect to the body.
- the first holding means may be rotatable by operation of a first trigger on the body.
- Movement of the first trigger may cause rotation of a first rotatable drive member, the first rotatable drive member being drivingly connected to a second rotatable drive member on the first holding means.
- the first and second rotatable drive members may be connected together by a continuous drive member, for example a drive cord, drive belt or drive chain.
- the first trigger may be arranged to be operated by one finger of the operator.
- the second holding means may comprise a locking member movable to press the pointed end of the needle against a fixed part of the device.
- the locking member may have an aperture therethrough to receive the pointed end of the needle.
- the second holding means may be operable by a second trigger mounted on the body.
- the second trigger may be pivotally mounted on the body, the locking member being pivotally connected to the second trigger between its pivot point and its free end, so that pivotal movement of the second trigger brings about longitudinal movement of the locking member within the device.
- the device may be generally pistol shaped, with a hand grip portion, the first trigger being arranged to be operated by a trigger finger of the user, and the second trigger lying adjacent to the hand grip for operation by one or more other fingers of the user.
- the invention includes a method of suturing tissue using a suture attached to the butt end of a needle, the method comprising holding the butt end in a first holding means of a suturing device, passing the needle into and out of tissue, holding the pointed end of the needle with a second holding means of the suturing device, drawing the needle and suture through the tissue, and away from the first holding means, removing the needle, and tying the free ends of the suture.
- Figures 1 to 6 are side views of the embodiment of suturing device, showing various stages in the suturing method
- Figures 1 A to 5A are views of the leading end of the suturing device, showing the same stages as Figures 1 to 5, but to a larger scale;
- Figure 6A is a plan view of the suturing device as shown in Figure 6.
- the suturing device shown in the figures comprises a distal like device which can be operated single-handedly. Existing suturing devices require the use of two hands.
- the device comprises a body 10 from which projects an elongate nose 11.
- the body 10 has a handle 12 and fitted to the body is a finger trigger 13 and a lever trigger 14.
- Pivoting the lever trigger 14 causes a locking bar 19 to move backwards or forwards within the elongate nose 11.
- the leading end of a locking bar 19 has a vertical aperture 20 therethrough, best seen in Figure 2A.
- This aperture 20 lies in the vicinity of a bulkhead 21 , also best seen in Figure 2A.
- the needle holder 15 has a curved socket 22 therein, best seen in Figure 5A.
- a needle 23 can be held in place in the needle holder by inserting the butt end of the needle 23 into the socket 22 and applying tension to a suture 24 to hold the needle against the closed end of the socket.
- the suturing device has the configuration shown in Figures 1 and 1A.
- the needle 23 is held securely in the needle holder 15, which is pivoted into the position best shown in Figure 1A, in which the pointed end of the needle passes through the aperture 20 in the locking bar 19.
- the needle is locked in this safe position by moving the lever trigger 14 such that the locking bar 3 holds the tip of the needle against the bulkhead 2.
- Tension is maintained on the suture 24 and if desired this can be achieved without permanent use of one or more fingers of the operator by snagging the suture 24 in a tapered slot within a clip 25 attached to a tension spring 26 mounted in the top of the body 10 of the device.
- the leading edge of the device can be offered up to tissue to be sutured, for example as shown at 27 in Figure 2A where a wound 28 in the tissue has to be closed by suturing.
- the finger trigger 13 is moved in the opposite direction to start rotating the needle holder 15 back in an anticlockwise direction as viewed in the figures, driving the needle 23 through the tissue.
- the final position is shown in Figures 6 and 6A.
- the needle end and free end of the suture 24 can now be cut to release the device and the cut ends of the suture can be knotted in any desired manner.
- the steps can be repeated, to pass the needle 23 back through the tissue 27, at a location adjacent to the first stitch, thus forming any desired number of continuous rolling stitches along the length of the wound, the suture thus taking up a generally helical configuration.
- a stitch sometimes referred to as a mattress stitch, in which a suture passes across a wound, the ends of the suture passing down into the tissue at each side of the wound, through some of the tissue, back up through the tissue at a different location, the ends of the sutures then being tied across the wound so that the wound is held closed by two portions of the same suture, the tied portion of the suture being spaced slightly along the wound from the central part of the suture.
- the device shown in the figures can be adapted to carry out such a stitch.
- the stitch is formed using a suture which has a needle at each end.
- the device is adapted to have two needle carriers so that the two needles can be passed through the tissue simultaneously. After the needles have been passed through the tissue they are cut away from the suture and the cut ends of the suture are then tied.
