Abstract
The present invention relates to surgically implantable devices that allow a surgeon to locate suture threads that are attached to the implantable device before it is implanted into a patient. The present invention addresses the need to grasp suture threads and pass them through body tissues by laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery, without the suture threads entangling or otherwise resisting the surgical procedure. The present invention encloses suture threads, each of which is attached by one end to an implantable device in suture housings. The present invention further includes novel pull-tabs that allow the grasping of a suture thread and extraction from a suture housing. The present invention also provides novel suture assemblies that may be attached to a surgically implantable device and methods of attaching, to a patient, surgically implantable device implants that have suture assemblies attached thereon.
