Abstract

A securing device for medical and surgical applications has two parts which may be separate or integrally connected, one part comprising an eye (3) with a latching pawl (4) and the other part comprising a flexible strip (1) with ratchet teeth (2) so that the strip can be advanced through the eye to adjust the effective length of the flexible strip, but is locked against reverse movement. In one embodiment the parts are integral and a needle (7) is attached to the free end of the flexible strip, the device being a surgical suture. In another embodiment the parts are separate and are adapted to engage respective body parts of a patient which are to be held together by the device. A specific embodiment for a female incontinence sling procedure is described.
