In the actual field application process, the above size range can be adjusted according to the field use situation.
[0071] During suturing, after the soft tissue is pierced by the needle of the suturing device, the thimble 6 is used to push the front anchor needle over the limit groove, and when withdrawn, the soft tissue hangs on the front anchor needle 15, and then the soft tissue 16 to be sutured is sutured by tightening the suture 17. .
[0072] When using the present invention, the rear anchor pin 14 and the front anchor pin 15 are placed behind the limiting groove 10, such as Image 6 and 7 In the middle, the posterior anchor 14 and the anterior anchor 15 are placed on the left side of the limiting groove 10. During suture, there are suture areas on both sides of the suture opening 11 on the soft tissue 18 to be sutured. In the present invention, the needle can repeatedly puncture the soft tissue according to the needs of the operation, until the optimal suture position is found, and then the implantable anchor needle left in the soft tissue to be sutured is advanced. In the present invention, the anchors are artificially and subjectively advanced, and multiple anchors are repeatedly advanced in the same manner, and finally the soft tissue is sutured. The use of the present invention can effectively, accurately and safely complete the suture.
