AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Specifically, the device may not be able to access tissues or organs that are located deep in the body or that are obstructed in some way
Additionally, many instruments are limited by the way they grasp tissue, apply sutures, or recapture needles and sutures
Additionally, many instruments are complex and expensive to use due to the numerous parts and / or subassemblies required to make them work properly

Embodiment Construction

[0047] Suture passer devices and methods of using the devices are described herein. The devices of the present disclosure have improved reliability, for example, by preventing the passage of sutures without clamping the jaw members. The novel design also includes the device being equipped with a thumb trigger to extend and retract the second or lower jaw member with improved control of the suture passer. The devices disclosed herein also have the advantage of preventing tissue damage by avoiding retraction of the lower jaw or second jaw member while the tissue penetrator is being extended.

[0048] In one aspect, the present disclosure includes a suture passer device. The device includes: an elongated body having a proximal region and a distal region; a first jaw member extending from the distal region of the elongated body and configured to move angularly relative to the elongated body; a second jaw member , which is configured to form an opening with the first jaw member w...

Abstract

Suture passer devices and methods of using the devices having one or more protective interlocks preventing or limiting operation of the suture passer when deployment of the needle may damage the apparatus or harm the patient. For example, described herein are suture passer devices that include an interlock preventing deployment of the tissue penetrator (needle) when the jaws are not clamped onto atissue. Also described herein are interlocks preventing retraction of a jaw axially until the needle is retracted.
