Surgical fastener and delivery system |
摘要 |
A surgical fastener preferably made from a shape memory alloy is provided which can access internal tissue or other synthetic material through a small surgical access port or incision. After the fastener is deployed through layers of tissue, it assumes a shape that automatically applies to the layers of tissue an appropriate hemostatic compression which is relatively independent of tissue thickness. The fastener is a suitable replacement for conventional non bio-absorbable sutures and staples in certain clinical applications. Its shape, method of deployment and low force requirements make it suitable for standard surgical procedures and especially suitable for laparoscopic and other less invasive surgery where access to the wound site is limited, including endovascular surgery. A delivery instrument for deploying the fastener is also provided.
