System and a method for surgical suture fixation

摘要

A surgical suture fixation system includes a delivery guide, an anchor, a movable anchor deployment component and a spring mechanism provided between the delivery guide and the anchor deployment component. The anchor is received in the anchor deployment component. The anchor is attached to a length of suture that passes through a channel in the delivery guide to connect with a fixation device outside the delivery guide. The anchor deployment component is configured to deliver the anchor into a tissue location. The system is adapted to fixing the suture to the tissue location with the anchor for supporting an implantable support material in a patient. A method of fixing the surgical suture to the tissue is also disclosed.

主权项

1. A surgical suture fixation system comprising:
a delivery guide comprising a conduit having a distal end and a proximal end, the conduit having an opening in the distal end and a channel formed in a sidewall of the conduit, with the channel communicating with the opening and extending at least partway between the distal end and the proximal end of the conduit, and the delivery guide including a passage formed in a proximal end of the delivery guide; an anchor deployment component including a cannula, where the passage formed in the proximal end of the delivery guide is sized to receive the cannula to allow the cannula to be insertable axially into the passage formed in the proximal end of the delivery guide; an anchor including an eyelet, a suture connected to the eyelet of the anchor, and fixation device slideably coupled to the suture, the anchor attachable to the anchor deployment component; and a spring mechanism provided between the delivery guide and a distal portion of the anchor deployment component; wherein, when he anchor is paced in the conduit of the delivery guide, the suture extends through the channel and an entirety of the fixation device is external the delivery guide.
