DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR WOUND CLOSURE

摘要

A wound closure device includes outer and inner members. The inner member is configured for receipt of a suture passer and is pivotably coupled to the outer member. The inner member is pivotable relative to the outer member between a first position, wherein the inner member is coaxially disposed relative to the outer member, a second position, wherein the distal end of the inner member extends outwardly from the outer member in a first direction and the proximal end of the inner member extends outwardly from the outer member in a second, opposite direction, and a third position, wherein the distal end of the inner member extends outwardly from the outer member in the second direction and the proximal end of the inner member extends outwardly from the outer member in the first direction.

1. A wound closure device, comprising:
an outer member defining a proximal end and a distal end; an inner member at least partially disposed within the outer member and defining a proximal end and a distal end, the inner member configured for receipt of a suture passer therethrough, the inner member pivotably coupled to the outer member at an intermediate position between the proximal and distal ends of both the outer member and the inner member, the inner member pivotable relative to the outer member between a first position, wherein the inner member is coaxially disposed relative to the outer member, a second position, wherein the inner member is pivoted relative to the outer member such that the distal end of the inner member extends radially outwardly from the outer member in a first direction and such that the proximal end of the inner member extends radially outwardly from the outer member in a second, opposite direction, and a third position, wherein the inner member is pivoted relative to the outer member such that the distal end of the inner member extends radially outwardly from the outer member in the second direction and such that the proximal end of the inner member extends radially outwardly from the outer member in the first direction.
