Gastropexy kit

摘要

A gastropexy kit includes a plurality of safety needle assemblies (10). Each safety needle assembly includes a needle (12) and a stylus (50). A fastener is positioned in a distal end of the needle. The fastener is coupled to one end of the suture and a suture retention hub (112) is coupled to an opposite end of the suture. The fastener is deployed in a patient's stomach via the needle and stylus which has a blunt distal end which extends through the needle to push the fastener out of the needle and to blunt the needle. The suture retention hub is positioned on a patient's skin and adjustably tensions the suture, which, desirably, is a resorbable suture.
