AID FOR ARTIFICIAL TENDON RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

An aid (1) for artificial tendon reconstruction comprises a body portion (2), a papillary muscle contact portion (3), and a hook portion (4).  The papillary muscle contact portion (3) is formed to touch the tip of a papillary muscle (54).  The hook portion (4) is formed such that the side of an artificial tendon (60) being sewn to a cusp (51) is hooked.  Under a state where the side of an artificial tendon (60) being sewn to a cusp (51) is hooked to the hook portion (4), a knot (60b) is formed in the artificial tendon (60).
