US Patent:
20200315619, Oct 8, 2020
Filed:
Jun 19, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/906930
Inventors:
- Mandeville LA, US
Thomas Salvant - Covington LA, US
Assignee:
SMART SUTURES, LLC - Mandeville LA
International Classification:
A61B 17/06
A61B 17/04
Abstract:
The present invention provides a suturing device to minimize interference and obstructions during intricate surgeries. The curled suture device is significantly shorter than traditional suturing kits by featuring a needle attached to a specially manufactured thread incorporating a stopping mechanism preceding an angular, semi-rigid portion of thread followed by a curled portion of thread arranged in a corkscrew configuration. The stopping mechanism halts the movement of the thread as the needle and thread intermediate the needle and stopping mechanism is pulled through the suture point, securing the remainder of the thread for access. The semi-rigid portion of thread is thereby utilized in conjunction with its curled portion of thread, allowing for the user's unabated access to the corkscrew configuration to form a ready-made knot, minimizing interference and obstruction during surgery. The thread may be manufactured to form an additional semi-rigid and curled portions of thread upon creation of a knot.

US Patent:
20170189017, Jul 6, 2017
Filed:
Dec 29, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/394578
Inventors:
Thomas Salvant - Mandeville LA, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/06
A61B 1/313
A61B 17/04
Abstract:
The present invention provides a curled suture device to minimize interference and obstructions during intricate surgeries, such as laparoscopic surgeries. The curled suture device has a needle and a significantly shorter suture and thread than the sutures currently available for use. Towards the end of the suture, opposite the side of the needle, a stopping mechanism is featured in conjunction with an angled, less flexible, portion of thread. The stopping mechanism acts to halt the movement of the thread as the needle and thread is pulled through the suture point, securing the remainder of the suture thread on the first side of the tissue being sutured. On this side of the stopping mechanism, a curled portion of thread is featured, such that the suture thread curls into a corkscrew configuration that loops around several times before coming to an end. This corkscrew configuration allows for a ready-made knot in the suture device, to aid in minimizing interference and obstruction during surgery. The length of the entire device, from one tip of the needle to the end of the curled suture, is of a length significantly shorter than typical needles and suture, which may stretch up to several feet long, which also aids in reducing interference and obstruction during the surgical process.
