Abstract
The present invention is directed to a surgical guide line assembly (10) for use during a surgical procedure. The surgical guide assembly (10) permits the manipulation of a surgical component with a vessel during a surgical procedure, such as for example an intravascular procedure. The surgical guide line assembly (10) includes a guide line component (11) having a proximal end and a distal end, and at least one suture (12) secured to the distal end of the guide line component (11). The present invention is also directed to a surgical separator assembly (60) for use in separating at least two surgical components during a surgical procedure in a vessel.
Claims15
A surgical guide line assembly for use during a surgical procedure, said surgical guide line assembly comprising:
- a repair graft assembly;
- a guide line component having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- at least one suture secured to said distal end of said guide line component and said repair graft assembly,
- wherein each of said at least one suture includes a first end secured to said distal end of said guide line component, and a second free end, said surgical guide line assembly further comprising:
- a surgical needle connected to said second end of said at least one suture,
- wherein said surgical needle facilitates the attachment of said guide line component to said repair graft assembly.
A surgical guide line assembly for use during a surgical procedure, said surgical guide line assembly comprising:
- a repair graft assembly;
- a guide line component having a proximal end and a distal end;
- at least one suture secured to the distal end of said guide line component and said repair graft assembly;
- and
- a broad line assembly positioned around said distal end of said guide line component and a portion of said at least one suture,
- wherein each of said at least one suture includes a first end secured to said distal end of said guide line component, and a second free end, said surgical guide line assembly further comprising:
- a surgical needle connected to said second end of said at least one suture,
- wherein said surgical needle facilitates the attachment of said guide line component to said repair graft assembly.
A surgical guide line assembly for use during a surgical procedure, said surgical guide line assembly comprising:
- a repair graft assembly;
- a guide line component having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- at least one suture secured to said distal end of said guide line component and said repair graft assembly,
- wherein said at least one suture is secured to said guide line component within a formed cavity in said distal end of said guide line component.
A surgical guide line assembly for use during a surgical procedure, said surgical guide line assembly comprising:
- a repair graft assembly;
- a guide line component having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- at least one suture secured to said distal end of said guide line component and said repair graft assembly,
- wherein said guide line component has a central passageway extending therein, said at least one suture is secured to said distal end of said guide line component within said central passageway.
