Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved surgical needles.
  • Figure 1 represents a straight surgical needle of round cross-section having triangular hooks.
  • Figure 2 shows a straight surgical needle of round cross-section having hooks with the shape of fish scales.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a curved surgical needle of round cross-section having triangular hooks.
  • Figure 4 shows a curved surgical needle of round cross-section having hooks shaped like fish scales.
  • Figure 5 represents a straight surgical needle of triangular cross-section having triangular hooks on its edges.
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of figure 5 along line 6 - 6.
  • Figure 7 shows a curved surgical needle of triangular cross-section having triangular hooks.
  • Figure 8 shows a straight surgical needle of round cross-section.
  • Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the needle shown in figure 8 along line 9 - 9.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a straight surgical needle of round cross-section having hooks with the shape of fish scales.
  • Figure 11 is a cross-section of the needle represented in figure 10 along line 11 - 11.
  • the improved surgical needles are generally referred to with numerals 10; 20; 30; 40; 50; 60; 70; and 80 corresponding to needles used for different purposes.
  • Needle 10 is a straight atraumatic or non-cutting needle. Needle 10 has two rows of scale hooks 25 projecting outwardly and rearwardly on the outer surface and disposed 180 degrees apart. In the preferred embodiment these scale hooks 25 have a substantially fish scale shape but a multitude of other shapes would also be suitable provided that the hook effect is achieved in a manner similar to the way that a fish is hooked. Scale hooks 25 in Fig. 2 on staight atraumatic needle 20 has an atraumatic (or non-cutting) shape so that the minimized and they are disposed along four rows on the surface, 90 degrees apart.
  • the surgeon usually, uses one hand to hold the tissues being sutured together and with the other hand he inserts the needle through the tissues.
  • the surgeon needs a third hand to pull the needle out through since it would slip back through its penetrating path if the force being applied by the surgeon is released, even momentarily, to reach and grab the pointed end of the needle on the other side of the tissues being sutured.
  • the present invention provides a momentary detent for the tissues.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 the concepts illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and described above, for the straight atraumatic needles is utilized with curved atraumatic needles 30 and 40.
  • Figures 5 and 7 show cutting needles, straight and curved, with triangular hooks 55 and 65. It is possible to have scale hooks similar to the ones shown in Figs. 1 and 3, however, since they are cutting needles (triangular cross-sections with cutting edges as shown in Fig. 6) they do not need atraumatic or non-cutting hooks because they would not be used in those delicate tissues.

Abstract

Aiguille chirurgicale (10) améliorée, pourvue de crochets (25) répartis le long de la périphérie de son corps et dirigés vers l'arrière. Les crochets sont conçus de façon à fournir un arrêt momentané lorsque l'aiguille (10) est insérée dans les tissus que l'on recoud, de sorte que le chirugien puisse lâcher la partie arrière de l'aiguille, partie où la force est appliquée, pour atteindre la partie pointue de l'aiguille (10) et tirer celle-ci pour la faire sortir.
