Publication number: 20220304678Abstract: A loader is disclosed that can load a suture and/or a shuttle into a suture device. The loader can have a suture and/or a shuttle that can be moved (e.g., via a loader control) from a non-loaded configuration to a loaded configuration without damaging the suture or the shuttle. The shuttle can be moved from a shuttle first position to a shuttle second position. When the shuttle is in the shuttle first position, a suture device can be positionable in a device space on the loader. When the suture device is positioned in the device space, the shuttle can be moved from the shuttle first position to the shuttle second position. When the shuttle is in the shuttle first position, the shuttle can be outside the suture device. When the shuttle is in the shuttle second position, the shuttle can be inside the suture device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Maruho Medical, Inc.Inventors: Andrew J. HUNTINGTON, Brett A. SNYDER, Matthew Byrnes NEWELL, Micah Bruvold BLACK

Publication number: 20220304676Abstract: A device that can pierce and hold tissue and then pass suture through tissue. The device can have a shuttle that can removably attach to a suture and jaws that can be rotatably opened and closed with respect to each other. The device can have a first jaw having a first jaw channel and a first jaw first stop. The shuttle can have a shuttle longitudinal axis and a shuttle first stop. The shuttle first stop can have a shuttle first stop distal end. The shuttle first stop distal end can be deflectable into the first jaw first stop. When the shuttle first stop distal end is in contact with the first jaw first stop, the shuttle can be passively retained in the first jaw. A method for using the device to repeatedly pass the suture through the tissue without removing the suture or device from the target site.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Maruho Medical, Inc.Inventors: Andrew J. HUNTINGTON, Brett A. SNYDER, Matthew Byrnes NEWELL, Luke W. CLAUSON, Gary S. FANTON, John F. KRUMME, Scott H. HENEVELD, Bryce PETERSON, Yasuyuki HITOMI
