FIELD: medicine. n SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to device for fastening suture fixer in hole, made in solid tissue, by means of material with thermoplastic properties and energy, supplied to suture fixer for local liquefaction of, at least, part of material with thermoplastic properties. device for fastening suture fixer contains distal surface of instrument and axial channel with distal input section, located in distal surface of instrument, and in fact tubular contact element, inserted into axial channel of instrument, with axial channel of instrument and contact element being provided with gripping elements, interacting with each other for gripping proximal end of contact element into axial channel, when contact element moves in proximal direction in axial channel. Suture fixer is connected with distal end of contact element and contains fixer leg, through which suture material in form of loop is passed, and thermoplastic shell. n EFFECT: application of invention ensures stable position in solid tissue, as well as simplification of its construction due to elimination of guiding shell. n 13 cl, 15 dwg |
