ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding and arranging threads in surgical operations with a flexible structure being in a ring form, connecting straight linear forms or divided linear forms, with flexible metal inserted within foaming material. V shape ditches are cut on the upper portion, and the base has adhesiveness. Affordable and simple manufacturing method is established with extrusion molding process or heat press molding process, after which extrusion cut process is conducted with the mold. Labor within hospitals can be reduced, by providing an affordable apparatus which prevents the threads from being damaged, also solving the concern of tissue damage due to thread tension, as the threads are accurately held and arranged without any mixing up with neighboring threads, and the apparatus size, the fixing position of the apparatus, and the operating tissue area can be adjusted at the surgeon's will.
