Publication number: 20230225723Abstract: The present invention relates to an endoscope suturing device and, more specifically, to an endoscopic suturing device capable of suturing a range of incisions by using an endoscope. According to the present invention, a wide range of incisions can be continuously sutured with high suturing power by using an endoscope, the suturing procedure time can be shortened, and a suturing method using a suture can minimize leftover foreign substances in the body, and thus can prevent side effects caused by the foreign substances. In addition, by using an endoscope, suturing with high-reliability is possible regardless of the range of suture areas, and thus the present invention can be used for simple suturing procedures and various internal surgeries such as gastrointestinal reduction surgery and NOTES, which uses a natural orifice.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: KOREA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AND BUSINESS FOUNDATIONInventors: Yongnam SONG, Yoonjin KIM, Dokwan LEE, Daehie HONG, Hoon Jai CHUN, Bora KEUM, Hyuk Soon CHOI
