WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/140818
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a puncture apparatus (1) for the surgical treatment of the female urinary incontinence. The puncture apparatus comprises a rotatable puncture member (3). Said puncture member has a puncture needle (31) comprising a needle tip (312); an interlock portion (32); and an axial portion (33). The puncture apparatus further comprises a urethral-insertion member (4) having a longitudinal shape; and a supporting member / restriction means (2). The supporting member restricts the positional relation between the puncture member and the urethral-insertion member such that when the puncture member moves rotationally and punctures the living body tissue, the needle tip passes far lower than the longitudinal axis of the urethral-insertion member. The puncture apparatus may further comprise a vaginal-insertion member (5).
