Endoscopic sutures and suture failure tightening repair device

摘要

The system includes a first fastener to treat tissue. A first fastener is a first anchoring element provided at the distal end of the first fastener for anchoring the first fastener at a first target tissue site around the tissue injury to be treated; And a first suture extending from the proximal end of the fastener. The system further comprises a second fastener. The second fastener comprises a second anchoring element provided at the distal end of the second fastener for anchoring the second fastener at a second target tissue site around the tissue injury to be treated; And a second suture extending from the proximal end of the fastener. In addition, the system is disposed around both the first and second sutures and tension applied to the first and second sutures causes the first and second fasteners to A tensioning element is provided that is slidable along the first and second sutures so that tissue damage is closed by pulling on one another.
