Claims (14)
- REIVINDICAÇÕES1. Método para formar uma sutura de autorretenção, caracterizado pelo fato de que compreende as etapas de:formar uma pluralidade de retentores na sutura; e executar uma etapa de elevar os retentores para longe do restante da sutura ao aplicar energia mecânica nos retentores; em que elevar os retentores compreende:inserir um fio de sutura (206) tendo retentores (208) em um aparelho (200) tendo pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222); e arrastar o fio de sutura (206) através do aparelho (200) sobre o pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222); e curvar os retentores para trás usando pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) para aplicar uma força nos retentores (208), em que os retentores são curvados para trás adjacentes ao pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222).
- 2. Método, de acordo com a reivindicação 1, caracterizado pelo fato de que a etapa de elevar compreende uma ou mais dentre as seguintes etapas:aplicar energia térmica aos retentores (208);aplicar energia química aos retentores (208);aplicar energia eletrostática aos retentores (208);aplicar energia elétrica aos retentores (208);aplicar energia elástica aos retentores (208);formar os retentores (208) em uma camada de material que é diferente de um núcleo da sutura;revestir a sutura com um material que faz com que os retentores (208) se tornem elevados;direcionar um fluido nos retentores (208); e aplicar uma tensão a um dentre a sutura (206) e o retentor (208).Petição 870190026479, de 20/03/2019, pág. 108/1142/3
- 3. Aparelho para elevar os retentores (208) em um fio de sutura a um ângulo desejado, para uso em um método conforme definido na reivindicação 1, caracterizado pelo fato de que compreende:pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222);meios para passar um fio de sutura tendo retentores (208) sobre o pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222); e pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204), configurada para entrar em contato com os retentores (208), adjacente ao pelo menos um rolo (202, 214, 222), para aplicar uma força aos retentores (208).
- 4. Aparelho, de acordo com a reivindicação 3, caracterizado pelo fato de que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) é configurada para entrar em contato com os retentores (208), adjacente à base dos retentores (208).
- 5. Aparelho, de acordo com a reivindicação 3, caracterizado pelo fato de que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) é flexível e é, desse modo, configurada para curvar quando a pelo menos uma barra de flexão entra em contato com os retentores (208).
- 6. Aparelho, de acordo com a reivindicação 3, caracterizado pelo fato de que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) inclui uma ponta afiada, a ponta afiada sendo configurada para ser o ponto de contato inicial entre a pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) tendo a ponta afiada e os retentores (208).
- 7. Aparelho, de acordo com a reivindicação 3, caracterizado pelo fato de que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) é configurada de modo que o ponto de contato inicial entre os retentores (208) e pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) ocorre entre os retentores (208) e uma superfície plana na pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204).
- 8. Aparelho, de acordo com a reivindicação 3, caracterizado pelo fato de que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) tem formato de chifre, ou em que pelo menos uma barra de flexão (204) tem peloPetição 870190026479, de 20/03/2019, pág. 109/1143/3 menos três superfícies planas.
