Abstract: An apparatus for holding and arranging threads in surgical operations with a flexible structure being in a ring form, connecting straight linear forms or divided linear forms, with flexible metal inserted within foaming material. V shape ditches are cut on the upper portion, and the base has adhesiveness. Affordable and simple manufacturing method is established with extrusion molding process or heat press molding process, after which extrusion cut process is conducted with the mold. Labor within hospitals can be reduced, by providing an affordable apparatus which prevents the threads from being damaged, also solving the concern of tissue damage due to thread tension, as the threads are accurately held and arranged without any mixing up with neighboring threads, and the apparatus size, the fixing position of the apparatus, and the operating tissue area can be adjusted at the surgeon's will.

Abstract: When closing the sternum in cardiothoracic surgery, elderly people with a fragile sternum can experience bleeding from the suture sites because of loose knots. The knots are loose because of the danger of cutting into the sternum from the tension caused by the suture wire. In extreme cases, the sternum can be fractured. If the closure is attempted intercostally, there are internal thoracic arteries that run longitudinally underneath the sternum and they may be hurt if a sharp needle is used. Intercostal fixation on its own is inadequate, and additional wires that directly insert into the manubrium are required. Of the sternal closure wires currently available, there is discordance in the numbers provided and actually used, resulting in leftovers that need unnecessary sterilization and reuse. To solve the above problems, an intercostal specific blunt needle has been devised, and packaged together with a sharp needle that will directly insert into the sternum.

Abstract: A maxilla extension apparatus that extends the maxilla in lower forward direction, wherein a band is installed on the maxilla dentition, fixed onto a slide rail, and an arm is fixed onto the zygomatic bone. With this embodiment, a maxilla extension apparatus can be offered, an apparatus of which can accurately and less invasively extend the maxilla in a short time.

Abstract: A container for holding curved needles has side fixation hooks in pairs and a center fixation hook projected from a bottom plate to fix a needle by putting the needle between the hooks and in which the tip of the needle falls down securely to a fixed direction. In case of holding plural needles, plural side fixation hooks and center fixation hooks are molded to project continuously in a line from the bottom plate and so the backs of the hooks are united with one another.

Abstract: A sternum suture wire with teardrop ring, wherein the center part of the wire is thick, both ends are made thin, and the two tip ends of the wire are shaped in teardrop rings. This invention provides a sternum suture wire which has least invasiveness onto the sternum, that can be passed through a sternum easily and speedily, and the wires do not tangle with each other inside the container case.

Abstract: A hand drill with the shape of the drill blade tip having blades on the two edges of a shaved-powder ditch which is applied in a slanted straight line, and the structure of the drill is made so that the two edges of the shaved powder ditch is arranged gradually into acute angle towards the rotating direction. Also, the tip end of a round pillar material is press processed and blades are attached, forming a two-blade shape. A hook hole is applied at the side of the tip for pulling up a suture wire. The grip part and the drill axis part are connected with insert mould processing method, and the grip part is in a shape with uneven surface for smooth fitting in the palm. With the foresaid features, the resistance from the hole side due to hand trembling and the resistance at the time of pulling the drill out of the hole are reduced, enabling sufficient intensity and piercing force achieved in a short time, providing a hand drill that discharges shaved powder from bone tissue smoothly.

Abstract: Utilizing PET resin which has improved fluidity and enabling injection molding with co-polymerization and compound technology, the hinge being the thinnest part of thickness more than 0.2 mm, the main body and the lid made with one solid mold method, which is a container that can be opened and closed and sealed, and is transparent, to be used as medical usage container and in physics and chemistry experiments. Sheet can be sealed in the inside of the container, sealed completely in a bag and sterilized with radiation. The slide glass has the hollow round part on the surface made and molded simultaneously, having a lid which can closed and sealed via a hinge made with one solid mold method. Also the slide glass is made as sterilized. The spectacle is made with one solid mold method wherein the lens, lens frame, and the side frames are all made as one mold from PET resin.

Abstract: This invention is related to surgical suture needle counters with features of parts with which needles are counted are either protruded or in concave hollow forms one projection or one hollow parts for each needle, made of material that endures autoclave sterilization, that can be disposed after use, and with insertion holes to fit into slits, the bottom base or the side of the container made of transparent resin, enabling confirmation of contents after closing and sealing the container, to secure safety during counting and at the time of disposal for preventing needle pricking accidents in advance.

Abstract: An inexpensive ligament fixing system capable of providing an efficient fixing force and accurately driving a staple with less invasion, comprising a flat-shaped plate having a plurality of drilled holes and curved bottom and upper surfaces and formed by casting and a cross bar used to allow a parallelism, to be checked, wherein the plate is fixed to a ligament and the folded-up ligament is further fixed with the staple, the tips of the leg parts of the staple are moved from the centerline to the inside, a cut-in is provided on the insides of the leg parts, the cross sections of the leg parts are formed in a polyhedron, the plate is pressed and driven by a driving device having a driving structure by a thrust bar is used.

Abstract: When a needle and thread are attached with caulking, the needle easily falls off, and the needle easily slips when held with a needle holder, and the processing expense is high. When a needle breaks inside the tissue, the broken part is very difficult to be removed, and creates a severe situation. Surgical knot fastening is troublesome, and the knots often get loosened. To solve these issues, a metal needle is insert-moulded to one end of resin made suture material. The resin suture material is in a sash form, the surface of the sash has a multiple number of serial projections for prevention of untwining, the other end is made in a box form, the inside of the box is formed to receive the untwine-prevention projections, and thus the suture part is gradually fastened and fixed. The manufacturing method is that the needle which is insert-moulded is a curved needle, and the sash is formed so that the needle would stand perpendicular to the sash suture material plane.

Abstract: Fastening sternum requires much force, and fastening sternum with stainless wire has difficulties that when the wire is twisted too much the wire will cut off, and when the wire force is too weak, the fixation of the sternum is not sufficient. Also, using stainless steel wire means metal object are left inside the body, and this would cause halation during Magnetic Resonance Imaging photography. This invention proposes a solution for the above, by providing a sternum suture band, wherein a needle is attached on one end of a resin sash form band to pierce through the sternum, one side of the sash having a multiple number of serial projections to prevent untwining of the band, the needle is passed through the box, and then the sternum is gradually fastened and fixed.
