Reference: Further clarification Reference information: One prior art construction is known in which the suture has two separate suture strands swaged at one end directly to an eyeless needle. The other free ends of these two suture strands are connected and sealed together by a small lead weight or shot. Such a suture construction has some disadvantages. It does not enable the double suture strands to be pulled completely through a tissue puncture if the puncture is made at the wrong location. The needle must be backed out which is difficult, or else the lead seal must be cut off requiring a new suture to be used. This suture does not enable double-armed sutures to be used, that is, one in which needles are attached at both ends of the suture strand. http://www.google.com/patents/US3762418 |
