System for putting reinforcement-forming means for a suture into place
First Claim
1. A placement system for putting reinforcement-forming means for a suture into place, the system comprisingreinforcement-forming means for reinforcing a zone that is to be sutured, said means comprising a first reinforcement portion and a second reinforcement portion,with a catching portion interconnecting said first and second portions of the reinforcement-forming means and serving to take hold of the zone for suturing, and jaw-passing means for passing two jaws of a suture clamp,such that said first portion of the reinforcement-forming means is suitable for facing one of the two jaws, andsaid second portion of the reinforcement-forming means is suitable for facing the other one of the two jaws, said placement system further comprising grip means formed by two strips connected to the reinforcement-forming means;
- wherein the two jaws of the suture clamp comprise two opposing jaws with;
one end of each jaw attached to the opposing jaw at a hinge;
the non-hinged end of each jaw is a distal end; and
each jaw comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface facing away from the opposing jaw and the inner surface facing towards the opposing jaw;
wherein the catching portion is positioned at the distal end of the jaws and the two strips connected to the reinforcement-forming means extend along the outer surface of each jaw from the distal end towards and beyond the hinge.
