  • Suture material dispenser
    Patent number: 6135385
    Abstract: The suture material dispenser comprises two panels (11, 12) of flexible hard sheet material, engaging each other with deformations (15, 18) and being fixed on top of each other. The panels (11, 12) have rim strips (13, 17) diverging to the outside and forming a channel (20) in the form of a wedge. By turning the panels (11, 12) around the central axis (20), a suture material thread (23) is wound into the channel (20). This thread (23) gets through the slot (21) at the bottom of the channel (20) into a receiving space (22). By pulling at a needle provided at an end of the thread (23), the coil is drawn out of the receiving space (22).
