Abstract: The present invention relates to a single-use, disposable, tissue suspender device comprising a longitudinal body having a distal end and a proximal end, the thickness of the body being substantially constant along a major portion of the length of said body from said proximal end towards said distal end; wherein a region immediately preceding the distal end of the body presents a reduced thickness compared to the remainder of the longitudinal body extending back toward the proximal end; and wherein the distal end comprises a distal bar attached to the region of reduced thickness of the longitudinal body which adopts an unconstrained deviating angle to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body. The invention also relates to use of the device for suspending tissue in a human or animal body.
