The present invention relates to a suture tightening wound closure device for use on mammals including humans. This device is comprising a smooth suture (to be sewn across an open wound through the skin and underlying tissue) and a suture loop tension means (for closing the wound). This tension means is by grasping one end of the suture, and pulling back its second end, forming a tensioned suture loop, enclosing the wound. Specifically, the device of the present invention is characterized by the tension means having a manual control mechanism (for pulling or releasing said second end). The smooth suture according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a suture band, which is flexible for bending along its length and is resistant to bending along its width. The device of the present invention also relates to embodiments having in addition a pair of suture supporting skin reinforcing means.
L'invention concerne un dispositif pour serrer des sutures afin de fermer des plaies chez des mammifères, y compris des êtres humains. Le dispositif comprend une suture lisse (pour suturer une plaie ouverte à travers la peau et les tissus sous-jacents) et un tendeur des boucles de suture (pour fermer la plaie). Le tendeur tient une extrémité de la suture et tire sa deuxième extrémité, de façon à former une boucle de suture sous tension qui ferme la plaie. Plus spécifiquement, ce dispositif se caractérise par un tendeur à mécanisme de commande manuelle (pour tirer ou lâcher la deuxième extrémité de la suture). Dans le mode préférentiel de réalisation de l'invention, la suture lisse est une suture plate souple pliable dans le sens de la longueur et rigide dans le sens de la largeur. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif comprend en outre une paire d'éléments de renforcement de la peau et de soutien de la suture.
