Abstract: A puncturing needle assisting tool. A first rotating portion 122 rotates from an open to a closed position, around a first hinge connecting portion 126 as the rotating center, to the surface side of an assisting tool main unit 112 to close the surface opening of a first guide groove 116a. A second rotating portion 124 rotates from an open position to a closed position, around a second hinge connecting portion 128 as the rotating center, to the surface side of an assisting tool main unit 112 to close the surface openings of second guide grooves 116b through 116d. The puncturing needles move along the guide grooves to puncture into the body in a proper state, without shifting. Locking protrusions 134, 130 maintain the closed positions of the first and second rotating portions 122, 124 respectively.

Abstract: A suture tool for fixing the gastric wall to the abdominal wall includes a first puncture needle for insertion, a suture thread, a second puncture needle for removing the suture thread, a linear grasping member and one or more anchor member. The tip end portion of the suture thread is inserted into the first puncture needle and a hook of the linear grasping member is inserted into the second puncture needle for removing the suture thread inserted into the first puncture needle for securing the gastric wall to the abdominal wall.

Abstract: An auxiliary device for a puncture needle allowing an easier manipulation of puncture needles as well as being capable of improving the suture stability. The auxiliary device for a puncture needle comprises a plate-shaped auxiliary device main body on the surface of which parallel guide grooves were formed, and a plate-shaped rotating-sliding contact part rotatably attached to one of the edge parts of the auxiliary device main body. Moreover, a stabilization plate was provided at the lower end part of the auxiliary device main body. And, a window part for confirming an insertion-puncture needle-outer needle and a pullout-puncture needle were provided at the lower part side portion of the auxiliary device main body. Moreover, a projecting edge part was formed at the upper end part of the auxiliary device main body, and an opening side width of a portion located at the projecting edge part of the guide grooves was made wider than the width of the other portion of the guide grooves.

Abstract: A suture retrieval puncture needle for a medical suturing tool includes an outer hollow needle member and an inner suture gripping element movable within the outer hollow needle member. The inner suture gripping element is deployable at least partially externally to the outer hollow needle member for retrieval of a suture. An operating member is provided at a proximal end of the suture retrieval puncture needle. The operating member is connected to the inner suture gripping element. Movement of the operating member relative to the outer hollow needle member causes the inner suture gripping element to move between a deployed position and a retracted position. The suture retrieval puncture needle further includes a locking arrangement for releasably holding the operating member in a position relative to the outer hollow needle member in which the inner suture gripping element is in the deployed position.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intracorporeal indwelling equipment having an internal holding member to be set in the stomach. Said internal holding member is composed of flexible ribbon-shaped members and flexible membrane-like members that are set on the portions of ribbon-shaped member, forming a dome-shaped portion. In the center of the outer periphery of membrane-like member, a notch and folding creases are formed to assist in deployment and help prevent the generation of ulcers and buried bumper syndrome.

Abstract: A device for preventing excessive insertion of a rod-like member when the rod-like member is inserted into a gastrostomy catheter, and to a medical instrument provided with the same. The device comprises a reference position establishment part which can be installed at a base end opening side of the gastrostomy catheter, a mobile part which can be fixed to the endoscope, and a linking part. The linking part can change the gap between the reference position establishment part and the mobile part within a range no greater than a set length, and links the reference position establishment part and the mobile part. Furthermore, a bending instrument for bending the tip end of the endoscope when said tip end portion projects a prescribed length outwards from a through-hole of a stomach-internal fixed part is fitted to the tip end of the endoscope.
