Surgical Method For Affixing A Valve To A Heart Using A Looped Suture Combination

View page
US Patent:
6506197, Jan 14, 2003
Filed:
Nov 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/714352
Inventors:
Joseph W. Rollero - Whitehouse Station NJ
William McJames - Belle Mead NJ
Eric Hinrichs - Pipersville PA
Jerry Stametz - Freemansburg PA
Assignee:
Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ
International Classification:
A61B 1704
US Classification:
606148, 606228, 623 21
Abstract:
A surgical suture loop combination and a method of using the combination. The combination has a suture and a surgical needle. The ends of the suture are mounted to the surgical needle to form a suture loop. A pledget member is mounted to the suture loop. A replacement heart valve is mounted to a cardiac valve annulus using the suture loop combinations and surgical procedures of the present invention.

Apparatus And Method For Swaging Needles

US Patent:
7814630, Oct 19, 2010
Filed:
Nov 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/601077
Inventors:
John J. Price - Seneca SC, US
Jerry W. Stametz - Cornelia GA, US
Kenneth R. Barsch - San Angelo TX, US
Assignee:
Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ
International Classification:
B21J 7/16
US Classification:
2924358, 2924357, 72220, 606144
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for making armed sutures has a pair of opposed die assemblies that may be driven by actuating surfaces of a swaging machine to hold and swage a needle on a suture. The dies grip and confine the needle in the area of the suture receptacle. A pair of opposed swaging elements with offset stakes insert through passageways in the dies and impinge on the captured needle making a plurality of indentations in the needle barrel and gripping the suture in the suture receptacle. The indentations are offset and aligned generally in alternating peak-to-valley relationship, causing the suture receptacle and the contained suture to assume a serpentine configuration. The stakes and the resulting indentations can be dimensioned to result in a converging suture receptacle, which exhibits increasing shear force being exerted on the suture with increasing depth into the suture receptacle. The apparatus and method permit reliable suture-needle attachment over a larger range of tolerances, such that a single die setup can be used on a plurality of needle and suture materials. The resulting product exhibits a serpentine suture/needle attachment interface with reliable attachment and smooth outer dimensions.

Surgical Needle Swage Tool

US Patent:
8214996, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Dec 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/330702
Inventors:
Jerry Stametz - Cornelia GA, US
John Price - Seneca SC, US
Eugene Reynolds - Avon by the Sea NJ, US
Kenneth Barsch - San Angelo TX, US
Assignee:
Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ
International Classification:
B21D 39/00
B21G 1/12
US Classification:
29515, 163 5
Abstract:
In a method of attaching a suture to a needle barrel, a first compression stroke compresses the radially-defined top of the barrel against a suture in the bore of the barrel while restraining the bottom and sides of the barrel against deformation. A second compression stroke compresses the bottom of the barrel against the suture while restraining the sides against deformation. In another method, the top and bottom are compressed concurrently while the sides are restrained against deformation. An apparatus for attaching a suture to a needle barrel includes two die sets, each including a die with a groove therein. In one die set, the groove protects the bottom and sides of the barrel from deformation while the top is compressed. In the other die set, the groove protects the sides of the barrel from deformation while the bottom is compressed.
