DENTAL SUTURING NEEDLE

Abstract

The present invention provides a dental suturing needle comprising a needle part provided with a needle point, and an eye part extending from the needle part and provided with an eye of the needle, wherein between the needle part and eye part is a curved part which is structured so that the needle part slants to the left or right by 20-45 with respect to the eye part. The present invention provides a three-dimensional suturing needle structured so that the needle part curves laterally by a set angle two to three times from the eye part to thus facilitate securing suturing space inside the mouth cavity, remove discomfort to the hand due to easy access to the treatment area, and allow smooth suturing without having to apply excessive pressure to the wrist, and additionally, the present invention is a very useful invention which creates spaces that do not come into contact with tissues to thus allow smooth movement of the suturing needle and minimize damage to the tissues.

Claims

1. A dental suturing needle, comprising a needle part (110) provided with a needle point (111); and an eye part (120) continuously extending from the needle part (110) and provided with a needle eye (121), wherein a curved part (130) is provided between the needle part (110) and the eye part (120) and configured such that the needle part (110) is inclined at an angle of 20 to 45 to the left or right with respect to the eye part (120).

BEST MODE

[0017] Now, preferred embodiment to accomplish the aforementioned purposes and effects of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0018] A dental suturing needle 100 according to the present invention includes a needle part 110 provided with a needle point 111; and an eye part 120 continuously extending from the needle part 110 and provided with a needle eye 121, wherein a curved part 130 is provided between the needle part 110 and the eye part 120 and configured such that the needle part 110 is inclined at an angle of 20 to 45 to the left or right with respect to the eye part 120.

[0019] The curved part 130 is formed at a point or 3/10 from the needle point 111 or the needle eye 121. The needle point 111 is formed so as to have an inclination () of 20 to 45 in a lateral direction (left or right side) with respect to the eye part 120, as illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0020] Here, the inclination () is preferably 30 to 45. Since this inclination () is an angel providing an approach path at which the hand is most convenient, it is easy to secure a suturing space in the mouth cavity. Accordingly, an affected area can be easily sutured without application of excessive force to the hand or wrist.

[0021] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the needle part 110 has a triangular cross section, the eye part 120 has a semicircular cross section, and guide grooves 110b and 120b having a predetermined depth are respectively formed at the top or bottom of the needle part 110 and the eye part 120.

[0022] Here, the needle part 110 has a triangular cross section. This triangular cross section preferably has an end (vertex, 110a) with a sharp shape like a blade so as to facilitate penetration into an area to be treated, e.g., the gum.

[0023] In addition, the eye part 120 has a semicircular cross section. The end 120a of the semicircular cross section is preferably curved so as to prevent the living tissue from being torn by the triangular sharp end 110a of the needle part 110 penetrating an area to be treated.

[0024] In addition, the guide grooves 110b and 120b with a predetermined depth are respectively formed at the top or bottom of the needle part 110 and the eye part 120, so that the needle part 110 and the eye part 120 can easily pass through the living tissue and enter into the gum through the guide grooves 110b and 120b. Accordingly, a sutured portion can be minimized.

[0025] In addition, the needle part 110 may have a semicircular cross section, other than the triangular cross section, as illustrated in FIG. 5. Both ends 110a of the semicircular cross section may have a sharp shape like a blade to facilitate penetration into an area to be treated, i.e., the gum. In addition, the eye part 120 may have a circular cross section.

[0026] As described above, since the dental suturing needle 100 of the present invention has the shape wherein the needle part 110 is curved at a predetermined angle in a lateral direction from the eye part 120, it is easy to secure a suturing space inside the mouth cavity and suturing can be easily conducted, without stressing the hand and without imposing excessive force on the wrist, due to easy access to an area to be treated.

[0027] *Of course, the dental suturing needle of the present invention is applicable to all medical operations, in which suturing is performed within a limited space, other than the dentistry.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, those having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments and various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
