Apparatus for securing tissue wounds with a fastener
The patent US12042149B2 outlines a method for securing skin tissue using a specialized fastening device. The process begins with placing the head portion of the device within a skin wound, followed by the positioning and retention of both sides of the skin tissue using approximation arms. The method emphasizes the importance of maintaining the first side of the skin tissue in place while the second side is positioned, ensuring that both sides are securely held before a fastener is delivered. The claims detail the use of forceps for grasping the skin tissue and describe the mechanism by which the actuator body of the device interacts with the approximation arms to facilitate the positioning and retention of the tissue.
Further claims elaborate on the specifics of delivering the fastener, which may involve inserting a staple arm into the retained skin tissue, creating pierced openings for secure fastening. The patent also specifies that the method can be applied to various types of skin wounds, including linear incisions and irregular lacerations, and allows for the fastening device to be oriented in multiple ways relative to the wound. Overall, the claims present a comprehensive approach to tissue fastening that combines mechanical precision with adaptability to different wound types, enhancing the efficacy of surgical procedures.
