CA 2696575

A suture lock, as well as related methods, are provided for fixing strands of one or more sutures relative to tissue. The suture lock and method are simple and reliable in use, facilitate complete perforation closure and adjustment of the suture strands, and are adaptable to a variety of suture fixation and perforation closure situations. The suture lock includes a locking cylinder and a retaining sleeve. The locking cylinder has a tubular body defining an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface defines a first interior passageway. The tubular body defines a first aperture and a second aperture that are spaced apart and in communication with the first interior passageway. The retaining sleeve defines a second interior passageway sized to receive the tubular body of the locking cylinder. The suture strands are compressed between the tubular body and the retaining sleeve.

L'invention porte sur un dispositif de blocage de suture et sur des procédés associés, pour fixer des brins d'une ou plusieurs sutures par rapport à un tissu. Le dispositif de blocage de suture et le procédé sont d'utilisation simple et fiable, facilitent une fermeture complète d'une perforation et un ajustement des brins de suture, et sont adaptables à une diversité de situations de fixation de suture et de fermeture de perforation. Le dispositif de blocage de suture comprend un cylindre de blocage et un manchon de maintien. Le cylindre de blocage comporte un corps tubulaire définissant des surfaces intérieure et extérieure. La surface intérieure définit un premier passage intérieur. Le corps tubulaire définit des première et deuxième ouvertures qui sont mutuellement espacées et en communication avec le premier passage intérieur. Le manchon de maintien définit un deuxième passage intérieur dimensionné de façon à recevoir le corps tubulaire du cylindre de blocage. Les brins de suture sont comprimés entre le corps tubulaire et le manchon de maintien.
