REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF USED TWO NEEDS BY A CHANGE, INCLUDING A SPECIES OF AN INDIVIDUAL, AFTER THE FRAMEWORK OF ONE OR MORE PREVIOUS OPENING

摘要

The invention relates to a suture guide device (1) for guiding two sutures (14, 15) through a wall of a membrane, balloon structure or a surface, in particular, of an artery of an individual in close proximity to the edge of an opening therein and for withdrawing said sutures from said opening, once they have been guided through the wall. The device comprises a suture feed section (3) located at the rear in the longitudinal direction, a front suture receiving section (4) and a central suture release/suture clamping section (5) positioned therebetween, which can be rotated at least in relation to the front suture receiving section (4). Said suture release/suture clamping section has a cross-section which allows it, in at least one rotational position, to introduce the sutures (14, 15) from the rear suture feed section (3) into the front suture receiving section (4) and which, in a different rotational position, secures the needles (12, 13) together with their sutures (14, 15) in the front suture receiving section (4).
