Abstract
The invention relates to a suturing set for medical use, comprising a handle piece, a needle, at least partly embodied as a hollow needle and which may be fixed to the handle and a transport device, arranged within the handle, which may be displaced between two end positions for the supply of suturing material to the needle, whereby the transport device comprises a gripping device, by means of which the supplied suturing material may be grasped in one end position of the transport device and then released in the other end position of the transport device. According to the invention, the transport of the suturing material to the needle may be achieved in a simple, secure and material-protective manner, whereby the introduced suturing material, on reaching an end position of the transport device, is gripped in a clamping manner by means of displacing the transport device and is only released again on reaching the other end position of the transport device.
