摘要:
Continuous wound-closure techniques use one-way suture. The one-way suture has tissue-grasping surface features which allow passage of the suture in one direction through tissue, but not in the opposite direction. In closing a wound, the one-way suture is passed alternately through tissue on opposed sides of the wound. The wound-closure techniques allow approximation of the sides of the wound without knots, avoid loop stitching and reduce scarring.

Subcutaneous sinusoidal wound-closure techniques use one-way sutures. The one-way sutures have tissue-grasping surface features which allow passage of the suture in one direction through tissue, but not in the opposite direction. In closing a wound, the one-way suture is deployed along a curvilinear path which passes alternately through subcutaneous tissue on opposed sides of the wound. The wound-closure techniques allow approximation of the sides of the wound without knots, avoid loop stitching and reduce scarring.

Endoscopic methods utilize self-retaining sutures to approximate tissue in a cavity of a subject. An endoscopic instrument is provided containing the self-retaining suture. The endoscopic instrument may be provided in combination with an endoscope and/or an endoscopic manipulator. The endoscopic instrument is passed through a cavity wall into a cavity of a patient. The self-retaining suture is deployed, using the endoscopic instrument, into a first tissue portion and a second tissue portion within the cavity. The self-retaining suture may be deployed endoscopically in patterns which include, purse string stitch, alpha stitch, linear stitching, curvilinear stitching, continuous helical stitch, and continuous sinusoidal stitch.

An anastomosis procedure utilizes a self-retaining suture to secure one vessel to another vessel. One or more self-retaining sutures are deployed around the interface between the vessels. The self-retaining sutures have tissue-grasping surface features which allow passage of the sutures in one direction through tissue, but not in the opposite direction. The self-retaining sutures may be deployed using a needle attached to the end of the sutures. The anastomosis technique may be performed without using knots.

An anastomosis procedure utilizes a self-retaining suture to secure one vessel to another vessel. A single self-retaining suture is deployed in a continuous pattern around the interface between the vessels. The self-retaining suture has tissue-grasping surface features which allow passage of the suture in one direction through tissue, but not in the opposite direction. The self-retaining suture may be deployed using a needle attached to the end of the suture. The continuous anastomosis technique may be performed without using knots.

摘要:
A method is provided for joining and holding closed a wound in bodily tissue using a barbed suture including sharp pointed ends. The pointed end of the suture is inserted on a first side of the wound and pushed through the faces of the wound to an exit point on the second side of the wound that is longitudinally spaced in a first direction from the insertion point in the first side of the wound. The first end of the suture is pulled out of the tissue for drawing the first portion of the suture through the tissue while bringing the two sides of the wound together to a closed position along the first portion of the suture in the tissue. The second pointed end of the suture is inserted into the tissue at one side of the wound and pushed through the faces of the wound to an exit point on the other side of the wound longitudinally spaced in a second direction from the point of insertion of the second end of the suture at the one side of the wound. The second end is pulled out of the tissue for drawing the second portion of the suture through the tissue while bringing the sides of the wound together to the closed position along the second portion of the suture in the tissue.
