ABSTRACT:
A slotted, partially-flared, cylindrically shaped core 12 is mounted inside a tubularly-shaped sleeve 20 with a flared end portion 16 extending out the end of the sleeve 20. A flexible needle 24, which is longer than either the core or the sleeve, is held in each of the core slots 18 by the sleeve, but is allowed freedom of longitudinal movement. Threads 32 attached to the needles are inserted through a wall of a tubular body duct by inserting the flared end portion of the core into the body duct and then forcing the needles to move longitudinally in the slots against the flared end portion so that they bend radially outwardly through the walls of the body duct.
