Electric suturing devices for endoscopy and laparoscopy

Abstract

An electromagnetic suturing device comprises a body, a coil in the body and a suturing element actuatable by a magnetic field generated in the coil. An electromagnetic suturing device comprises a housing comprising a first arm having a first end face, a first suturing track extending into the first end face, a second arm having a second end face opposing the first end face, a second suturing track extending into the second end face, a coil in the first arm, and a suturing element drivable by a magnetic field generated by the coil to move from the first suturing track to the second suturing track. An electro-magnetic hammer suturing device comprises a housing and a coil in the housing, a shuttle to reciprocate in the housing by an electromagnetic field generated by the coil and a suturing element to be actuated by the shuttle.
