Abstract

A blood vessel fastening knot used in intracavitary surgery, pre-tied in multiple loops at the central of a section of surgical wire, and temporary bound and fixed in position allowing later fastening with a size of the loops merely for a wire carrier to pass through so one end of the wire as guided by the carrier may wrap up a blood vessel and pass through said knot to release the knot by pulling outwardly both ends of the wire for the wire to fasten both of the blood vessel and the knot simultaneously.

Claims

1. A blood vessel fastening knot to be used in intracavitary surgery essentially comprised of a pre-tied running knot provided at the center of a section of wire to allow a surgical wire carrier to pass through said knot so that one end of the wire being guided by said wire carrier to wrap up a blood vessel and pass through said knot while a section of the wire at the other end extends for a proper length;

then both ends are pulled outwardly for the wire to fasten both of the knot and the blood vessel at the same time.

2. A blood vessel fastening knot to be used in intracavitary surgery as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the knot to allow the wire carrier pass through may be made in two or more than two loops.

3. A blood vessel fastening knot to be used in intracavitary surgery as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the knot being bound in position before the use with said binding status could be destroyed with a minimum externally applied force.

4. A blood vessel fastening knot to be used in intracavitary surgery as claimed in claim 1, wherein, a retaining member is provided at the end of the wire for the wire carrier to guide the wire to pass through the knot to fasten the blood vessel.
