SUTURING DEVICES AND METHODS WITH ABSORBABLE OR NON-ABSORBABLE MATERIAL INSERTS

摘要

A method of promoting tissue adhesion to reinforce tissue apposition that may include collecting a first tissue portion, placing a first tissue apposition means through the first tissue portion, collecting a second tissue portion, placing a second tissue apposition means through the second tissue portion, tightening the first and second tissue apposition means to approximate the first and second tissue portions, and placing a fixation agent between the first and second tissue portions. In this illustrative embodiment, the method promotes tissue adhesion between one or more portions of tissue, wherein the tissue adhesion may reinforce a tissue apposition.
