AI Technical Summary
Surgical sutures that require knots or suture-locking devices are labor-intensive and can adversely affect the surgical procedure time and the integrity of the implant site, particularly in surgeries like mitral valve replacement, and self-locking sutures fail to provide sufficient holding strength.
A device comprising a first strand with adjustable and lockable loops and a second strand connected via a braided cuff, allowing knotless attachment of implants to tissue using needles to secure the loops and cuffs to the implant and tissue.
Facilitates faster surgical procedures by eliminating the need for knots and provides enhanced holding power, ensuring secure attachment of implants like annuloplasty rings and artificial valves without compromising the surgical site integrity.
