A suture system (t0) for closing a wound defined by tissue portions includes an elongate suture (12) having a pair of ends (14, 16) adapted for threading relative to the tissue portions leaving the suture ends free. A securing mechanism (10) has a first position for capturing the suture ends and a second position for permanently holding the suture ends in a fixed relationship, with the suture tensioned to maintain the tissue portions in close proximity. In a thirst position, the securing mechanism frictionally engages the suture ends in a sliding relationship. In an associated method, continuous tension is placed on the suture ends during operation of the securing mechanism.

Ce système de suture (10) permettant de refermer une plaie délimitée par des éléments de tissu comporte un fil de suture (12) à deux extrémités (14, 16) conçu pour permettre un enfilage des éléments tissulaires laissant ses extrémités libres. Un mécanisme de fixation (10) se place dans un première position pour saisir les extrémités du fil de suture et dans une deuxième position pour maintenir ces extrémités de fil de suture assujettis, le fil de suture étant tendu afin de maintenir les tissus rapprochés. Dans une troisième position, ce mécanisme met, par frottement, les extrémités du fil de suture en situation de glissement. Selon une méthode associée, il est exercé une tension ininterrompue sur les extrémités du fil de suture lors de l'utilisation du mécanisme de fixation.
