The patent US12029411B2 describes a surgical fastening device designed to facilitate the secure attachment of tissue during surgical procedures. The device features a shaft with a proximal portion and a distal end, which houses a delivery tip. At the distal end, a fastener is held, characterized by an extended body with a receiving end and an opposite end. A driver member within the shaft is equipped with a sharp tip for tissue penetration and a hook. This driver member is engineered to engage the receiving end of the fastener, moving it along a curved path out of the delivery tip, thereby enabling the fastener to be securely positioned.
Further claims detail the specific configurations and functionalities of the device. The receiving end may include a loop for engagement with the hook, while the sharp tip remains outside the loop during operation. The device also incorporates an internal driver to assist in positioning the fastener and can form the fastener into a closed configuration. The delivery tip is designed to rotate relative to the shaft, allowing for flexible maneuverability during surgical procedures. Additionally, the fastener can be constructed from monofilament or multifilament sutures, and the design includes features such as barbed ends for enhanced retention. Overall, the surgical fastening device aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of tissue fastening in surgical applications.
