INTERNAL SUTURING DEVICE LEG SUSPENSION

摘要

A suture delivery device (100) for insertion into an internal tissue wall opening and delivery of a suturing apparatus to the internal tissue wall is provided. In one embodiment, the suture delivery device comprises at least one carrier tube (120), at least one leg (110), and a tensioning device (115, 415, 416). The at least one carrier tube is configured to house a pusher (130) and a suturing apparatus (140, 150), the carrier tube having an expulsion end. When the at least one leg is in an open position, the tensioning device exerts tension on the leg such that the leg is movably suspended and can pivot about the tensioning device in response to contacting a tissue wall, and the pusher and suturing apparatus are in an delivery configuration for delivery of the suturing apparatus to the internal tissue wall.
