Abstract
A device for the transosseous insertion of suture threads comprises: —a main body (), equipped with a grip (), supporting a protruding cannula () provided with an active end (); —a flexible thread-like element () which is housed in a coaxially sliding manner inside the cannula () and is suitable, on command, for exiting from the active end () of the cannula (). The thread-like element () is made of a super-elastic, shape-memory material and thus has the property of freely assuming, at least in an adequate temperature range for which its operative use is foreseen, a natural and predetermined curved form at least in a determined portion of the terminal part thereof. Means are provided for producing the coaxial movement of the thread-like element () in the two directions relative to the cannula ().
