Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5079368
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A suture has a fluid delivery line for improved retention of a suture line. The suture includes a suture body including a central lumen. The suture body further includes an inner surface along the central lumen and an exterior surface. Spaced perforations are formed along the suture body for maintaining the lumen in fluid communication with the exterior surface of the suture body. When fluid is pumped into the suture, the perforations allow the fluid to be distributed along the length of the exterior surface of the suture body both internal and external to the opposed tissue secured by the suture.
