Jan 16, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/784766

Inventors:

Abstract:

The single system ligature carrier and tissue clamp for sacrospinous colpopexy has an elongated body with a fixed handle on its proximal end. An additional movable handle is connected to a movable clamp jaw and a needle jaw on its distal end so that, at a distance, tissue can be engaged and pierced with a needle facilitated by clamp fingers passing a suture therethrough, as well as clamping and securing the embraced tissue. The positioning, clamping and suture penetration are accomplished by a single instrument.
