DEVICE FOR FIXING SUTURE MATERIAL, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SETTING AND INSTALLING THE DEVICE FOR FIXING SUTURE MATERIAL AND SYSTEM OF THE DEVICE FOR FIXING SUTURE MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has rib angularly displaced rib and supporting wall for reliably fixing the device in the bone opening. Application means hold the device on breakable shaft of the setting device. After the introduction being done, the application means enable one to break the breakable part and remove the instrument. Another version of the device first of all has wedge-like casing with broad end, means for holding suture material in it and means for separately connecting the setting device shaft. The boundary surface and the casing cross-section surface intersect with engagement edge being formed on the broad part of the casing. The boundary surface and supporting surface of the casing intersect with cam surface being built on the broad casing end. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in attaching tendons, ligaments and soft tissues; repeated attachment of tissues instead of their substitution with artificial materials. 28 cl, 74 dwg
