摘要

A medical device (10) comprising suture wings (41) that can be detached or attached at various receiving positions about the housing (11) and entry site (12) of the medical device, allows subcutaneous suturing of the device in a manner and at locations as determined by the physician. The suture wings (41) can each comprise one or more suture locations (14), and can also include a filling material (110) to inhibit tissue ingrowth. If desired, all suture wings can be removed from the medical device. The versatility of the device allows one type of device to be used to accommodate the needs of the different techniques and different methods used by many different physicians.
