Abstract
A method of improving elasticity of a tissue of a living body, the method including: forming a through-hole in the living body; inserting an insertion path forming unit, which includes a pipe member including a pipe and a support member including a support rod, into the through-hole in a state where the pipe member and the support member are assembled; removing the support member from the insertion path forming unit; coupling a medical thread supply unit to the pipe member; pushing the medical thread from behind by using a push unit; and removing the push unit, the medical thread supply unit, and the pipe member.

A method of improving elasticity of a tissue of a living body, the method comprising:
- forming a through-hole in the living body;
- inserting an insertion path forming unit, which comprises a pipe member comprising a pipe that is hollow and forms a path through which a medical thread is to be inserted and a support member comprising a support rod that is inserted into the pipe of the pipe member and has a stiffness greater than a stiffness of the pipe member, into the through-hole in a state where the pipe member and the support member are assembled;
- removing the support member from the insertion path forming unit;
- coupling a medical thread supply unit to the pipe member;
- pushing the medical thread from behind by using a push unit that may slide in the pipe of the pipe member in a longitudinal direction of the pipe of the pipe member and pushes the medical thread through the pipe of the pipe member;
- and
- removing the push unit, the medical thread supply unit, and the pipe member.
