HILOS QUIRÚRGICOS CON INCLUSIÓN DE DIENTES SURGICAL THREADS WITH INCLUSION OF TEETH
PARA SU ANCLAJEFOR YOUR ANCHORAGE
MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVADESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
1. SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA1. SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE
La presente invención está relacionada con el campo de los insumos médicos quirúrgicos, en particular con los hilos quirúrgicos utilizados en la cirugía plástica y estética, en cuanto a producir un efecto de "lifting" o anti-flacidez en virtud del anclaje de estos hilos colocados entre piel y grasa.The present invention relates to the field of surgical medical supplies, in particular the surgical threads used in plastic and cosmetic surgery, in terms of producing a "lifting" or anti-sagging effect by virtue of the anchoring of these placed threads. between skin and fat.
2. ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA2. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
En diversos países del mundo se encuentra patentado un hilo quirúrgico (patente europea EP 1075843 Al), que consiste en un hilo de material polimérico o biológico con dientes, garfios o garras que mantienen un dirección divergente entre si y que es utilizado para corregir sobre todo flacidez facial.In several countries of the world a surgical thread is patented (European patent EP 1075843 Al), which consists of a thread of polymeric or biological material with teeth, hooks or claws that maintain a divergent direction between each other and that is used to correct especially facial sagging
La referida patente es un ejemplo del estado de la técnica y que mejora solo limitadamente el anclaje del hilo en los tejidos donde ha sido colocado.The aforementioned patent is an example of the state of the art and that only limitedly improves the anchoring of the thread in the tissues where it has been placed.
3. DIVULGACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN3. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Los hilos objeto de la presente invención, por el diseño de sus dientes, en lo que se refiere a su forma, número, ángulo de inclinación en relación al hilo y en ciertos casos por su dirección, proporcionan un mejor anclaje o agarre, que logra evitar que se produzcan deslizamientos y disrapciones de los tejidos donde han sido colocados. Estos problemas que se presentan ocasionalmente en los casos en que se ha puesto mucha tensión en la zona del cuerpo a estirar o elevar, lo que puede dañar el resultado del procedimiento, con el consiguiente dolor y malestar para el paciente, además de aumentar su dificultad para retirarlos.The threads object of the present invention, by the design of their teeth, in regard to their shape, number, angle of inclination in relation to the thread and in certain cases by their direction, provide a better anchor or grip, which achieves prevent landslides and distractions of the tissues where they have been placed. These problems that occur occasionally in cases where there has been a lot of tension in the area of the body to stretch or raise, which can damage the result of the procedure, with the resulting pain and discomfort for the patient, in addition to increasing its difficulty to remove them
El diseño de estos novedosos hilos quirúrgicos (1) de material no absorbible o absorbible, consiste en dientes (2) o garras en forma de estrella de tres puntas, dispuestos en dos segmentos convergentes (3) o en dos segmentos con dientes dispuestos en sentido divergente (4) que permite un mejor anclaje justamente por su disposición, su ángulo (5), que no debe ser mayor a 45 grados, y por su número, al presentar 3 dientes (2) que se originan de una misma sección del hilo a manera de estrella.The design of these novel surgical threads (1) of non-absorbable or absorbable material consists of teeth (2) or three-pointed star-shaped claws, arranged in two converging segments (3) or in two segments with teeth arranged in the direction divergent (4) that It allows a better anchoring just by its arrangement, its angle (5), which should not be greater than 45 degrees, and by its number, by presenting 3 teeth (2) that originate from the same section of the thread as a star.
Lo anterior constituye una innovación al estado de la técnica, ya evita que se produzcan deslizamientos y disrupciones de los tejidos donde el hilo ha sido colocado, problemas que se presentan ocasionalmente en caso de que el hilo haya sido colocado con mucha tensión en la zona a estirar o elevar, lo que echa a perder el resultado del procedimiento, con el consiguiente dolor y malestar para el paciente, además de aumentar la dificultad para retirar el hilo.The above constitutes an innovation to the state of the art, and prevents slippage and disruption of the tissues where the thread has been placed, problems that occur occasionally in case the thread has been placed with a lot of tension in the area to stretch or raise, which spoils the result of the procedure, with the resulting pain and discomfort for the patient, in addition to increasing the difficulty in removing the thread.
Los dientes que se incluyen en los hilos quirúrgicos, pueden ser de distintos tamaños que van desde 0,5 mm hasta 2mm de longitud según la zonas del cuerpo en que van a ser utilizados, lo que permite su aplicación en lugares tales como: glúteos, brazos flácidos, busto flácido pequeño, cara interna de los muslos, entrecejo, surcos de los labios, frente, alrededor del canto externo de los ojos, espalda flácida, post liposucción, para reubicar la piel floja, axilas flácidas, entre otras. Cabe señalar que todas las zonas antes indicadas, aún no han sido descritas en la literatura como lugares posibles en donde se puede aplicar hilo con la función de "lifting" o anti-flacidez, tal como el que se pretende proteger con esta invención.The teeth that are included in the surgical threads, can be of different sizes ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm in length depending on the areas of the body in which they are going to be used, which allows their application in places such as: buttocks, flaccid arms, small flaccid bust, inner thighs, eyebrows, grooves of the lips, forehead, around the outer edge of the eyes, flaccid back, post liposuction, to relocate loose skin, flaccid armpits, among others. It should be noted that all the aforementioned areas have not yet been described in the literature as possible places where thread can be applied with the "lifting" or anti-sagging function, such as the one intended to be protected with this invention.
