  • Publication number: 20240074746
    Abstract: The present invention is a surgical suturing device that assists in applying an open-looped, pre-knotted suture around a targeted area of application. The surgical suturing device contains a handle, a grasping mechanism, a clamp tube, a pusher tube, a cutter tube, and a pivot arm. A first coupler is positioned on the pivot arm. A second coupler is positioned at the end of the shaft, offset from the pivot arm. A suture knot is fitted over the second coupler, and a strand is connected to the first coupler. When activated, the pivot arm moves into a closed position, thereby encircling the suturing portion and joining the first coupler to the second coupler. Next, the suture knot is pushed forward off the second coupler and tightened up against the suturing portion. The pusher tube slides back, allowing the cutter tube to cut the excess suture cord.

  • Patent number: 11857178
    Abstract: The present invention is a surgical suturing device that assists in applying an open-looped, pre-knotted suture around a targeted area of application. The surgical suturing device contains a handle, a grasping mechanism, a first jaw, a second jaw, a first coupler, and a second coupler. The first jaw and the second jaw each contains a jaw body and a coupler receiver. The first coupler and the second coupler each contains a strand receiver. The handle is operatively connected to the first jaw and the second jaw through the grasping mechanism. The coupler receiver is positioned adjacent to the jaw body, opposite to the grasping mechanism along the jaw body. The first coupler is removably positioned within the coupler receiver of the first jaw. The strand receiver traverses into the first coupler and the second coupler. The second coupler is removably positioned within the coupler receiver of the second jaw.
