KNOTLESS CLOSURE SUTURE AND TECHNIQUE

摘要

Surgical suturing constructs and methods of tissue fixation are disclosed. The suturing construct is a suture of a small diameter that is provided with a small loop on one end, a splice, and an elongated tapered portion/region at the other end. The splice is located on a region provided with a plurality of laser cuts or protuberances that are locking into the loop when the tapered end is pulled through the loop, to allow the suture to create a cinch stitch around soft tissue.
