Embodiment Construction

[0037]In one aspect, the present invention provides a cartridge for safe storage and disposal of needles and NR. The cartridge may contain NR and may also contain a needle or a needle with suture. NR can be any of the NR embodiments described herein. The collet may be mounted, for example, on a rail or other suitable surface in an operating room. The cartridge includes a housing with an opening through which a user can insert the tweezers. The NR is attached to the forceps once it is inserted into the collet. In one embodiment, the initial attachment of the NR to the tweezers is caused by the user rotating the tweezers inside the collet. When the forceps are pulled out, the NR is properly seated on the forceps, and the sharp point of the needle is inserted in the NR, allowing safe transfer of the forceps from eg a nurse to a surgeon. Preferably, the NR can only be removed from the collet when inserted and attached to the correct forceps.

[0038] After using NR, forceps w...

The forceps may conveniently be used for gripping and retaining a needle during suturing. A number of alternative suturing forceps and needle receptors are disclosed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 023,401, filed January 24, 2008, and International Application No. PCT / EP2008 / 053584, filed March 26, 2008 (now abandoned), each filed as It is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 【Technical field】 [0003] The present invention relates to surgical instruments and surgical systems for suturing tissue while reducing the likelihood of needle perforation accidents before, during and after the suturing process. 【Background technique】 [0004] Standard suturing instruments and techniques present significant risks to the surgeon in the manner of both the patient and possible glove perforation accidents through the suturing needle penetrating the surgeon's glove. Such needle stick accidents (needle stick accidents) can allow pathogenic microorganisms (pathogenic organisms) such as (but not limited to) hepatitis B virus (hepatitis vir...
