    摘要: An automated system for manufacturing self-retaining suture is disclosed. The system includes a cutting bed to which a suture is mounted. A power-operated cutting arm moves a cutting device through the suture along a preselected path and at a preselected angle to create a tissue retainer having a desired geometry. An indexing mechanism moves the suture relative to the cutting device. The operation of the cutting arm in conjunction with the geometry of the cutting device and movement of the suture thread allows for creating a plurality of tissue retainers having a desired geometry distributed along the length of the suture thread.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing self-retaining suture includes supporting the suture during cutting of retainers at multiple angles. The method utilizes an anvil having a channel configured to support a suture during cutting of a barb at a first angular position while providing for non-interference between the anvil and barbs previously cut on the suture at one or more angular positions different than the first angular position. In embodiments the channel is provided with notches which receive previously-formed barbs during creation of subsequent barbs. Thus the method provides for rotating the suture and then supporting the suture with the anvil without interference with previously formed retainers.
