Suturing instruments in accordance with the invention are dimensioned and configured to apply sutures to approximate, ligate, or fixate tissue in, for example, open, mini-incision, trans-vaginal, laparoscopic, or endoscopic surgical procedures. In some embodiments, the suturing instruments include a distal portion that is deflectably and/or pivotally coupled to the remainder of the instrument for improved maneuverability and functionality during surgery. In other embodiments, the suturing instruments are capable of housing multiple needle and suture assemblies and/or reloading the needle and suture assembly without removing the instrument from the surgical site.
La présente invention concerne des instruments de sutures dotés de certaines dimensions et conçus pour appliquer des sutures pour lisser, ligaturer ou fixer des tissus, par exemple, lors d'interventions chirurgicales ouvertes, à mini-incision, transvaginales, laparoscopiques ou endoscopiques. Dans certains modes de réalisation, ces instruments de sutures comportent une partie distale couplée de manière déviable et pivotante au reste de l'instrument, afin d'obtenir une maniabilité et une fonctionnalité meilleures au cours de l'intervention. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, ces instruments de sutures peuvent loger plusieurs ensembles de sutures et d'aiguilles et/ou permettre de recharger l'ensemble d'aiguille et de suture sans retirer l'instrument du champ opératoire.
