A suture package for storing sutures armed with needles. The suture package includes a base member with a base outer periphery and a top member with a top outer periphery. The base member includes a base outer wall extending upwardly from a top side of the base member and along the base outer periphery. The base outer wall includes a plurality of base teeth and a plurality of base intercostal spaces arranged alternatively around the base outer periphery. The top member includes a top outer wall extending downwardly from a bottom side of the top member and along the top outer periphery. The top outer wall includes a plurality of top teeth and a plurality of top intercostal spaces arranged alternatively around the top outer periphery.

A package for surgical sutures has a base member, an outer wall extending upwardly form the periphery of the base member, a plurality of pyramidal shaped standoff members arranged in an oval shape and a flat suture channel cover member having a plurality of precision holes to lock the cover member to the standoff members of the base member. The inner surface of the outer wall of the base member is a profiled surface and the outer periphery of the cover member has a profiled surface corresponding to the profiled surface of the outer wall of the base member. The profiled surface of the outer wall can consist of a plurality of D shaped vertical members extending from the top surface of the base member to the top of the outer wall.

The surgical suture package includes: a main body including a base plate, an outer wall portion, and an inner wall portion providing a portion accommodating a suture; a fixing clip serving to fasten a suture needle coupled to an end of the suture; multiple protruding bumps; and multiple cover members provided on an upper portion of the inner wall portion, and configured to cover above the suture in a manner being bent outward and being hooked on lower surfaces of the protruding bumps to keep being bent such that the suture accommodated in the accommodating portion is prevented from being released, wherein a label is provided on an upper part of the main body to provide product information including a product name and is fastened by inserting an edge thereof between the protruding bumps and the cover members.

Packaging for a suture, comprising: a base (1) comprising a receiving zone (6, 8) for receiving a suture, a lid (62), means for locking the lid (62) to the base (1), comprising a first slot (58) formed in one among the base (1) and the lid (62), and a first flap (72) formed in the other among the base (1) and the lid (62),
wherein the first flap (72) has a shape and dimensions adapted to: be engaged through the first slot (58) when the lid (62) has a first orientation with respect to the base (1), then be blocked athwart the first slot (58) by rotation of the lid (62) from the first orientation to a second orientation of the lid with respect to the base in which the lid covers at least in part the suture receiving zone (6, 8).

Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

A suture package for retaining a barbed suture is provided. The suture package includes a suture retaining member including an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall is radially spaced from the outer wall and defines a suture retaining area therebetween. The inner wall defines a needle retaining area and includes at least one opening therein to permit reception of at least one suture therethrough. The outer wall includes a plurality of inwardly extending tabs configured to engage a cover. The suture package further includes a cover configured to be received within the outer wall of the suture retaining member and to selectively engage the inwardly extending tabs formed thereon.

Various devices, systems and methods for knotless anchoring of sutures to repair bodily tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone or other tissues, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for the operator to knot the suture to secure the suture under tension. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts and find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral reattachment, rotator cuff repair, and similar procedures.

A suturing device includes a hollow needle. The hollow needle has a length extending between a proximal end and a distal end and defining a lumen having an inner diameter. The suturing device further includes a length of surgical suture having a leading end and a trailing end and an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the lumen. At least a portion of the surgical suture is located within the lumen of the hollow needle. A surgical kit including the suturing device and methods of using the suturing device of the present invention are also disclosed.

A cassette is disclosed for use in a prosthetic suturing device. The cassette has a base. The base has a pair of pivots, a pair of alignment tabs, and at least one retention latch. The cassette also has a cover coupled to the base. The cover has at least one retention latch. The cover also defines one or more ferrule holders. The cassette further has one or more needles guided by the base and the cover. A surgical suturing device is also disclosed for use with a cassette. The suturing device has a cassette receiver and one or more needle drivers, each needle driver having a needle receiver positioned within the cassette receiver.

A surgical sutures package includes a base having top and bottom surfaces, an outer periphery, and a longitudinal axis. An outer wall extending upwardly from the periphery has inner and outer surfaces and a top, the inner surface including bulges extending from the base top surface. An inner wall extending upwardly from the base top surface has inner and outer surfaces and a top. There is a suture channel cover having top and bottom surfaces and an outer periphery having a profiled surface corresponding to the profiled base outer wall inner surface. A cover outer edge opening forms a suture port having first and second ends. The suture track area to retain suture is formed between the outer wall inner surface and the inner wall outer surface of the base. The cover has a central recessed area having an outer periphery corresponding to the base inner wall inner surface.
