Also, plural suture exiting holes ( 24 ) are formed at intervals around the axis on extruding device, and the ends of sutures connected to plural securing sections protrude from different suture exiting holes. In addition, extruding device ( 20 ) is equipped with extruding rod ( 22 ), friction member ( 29 ), attachment/detachment pressing section ( 23 ), and coil spring ( 28 ).

Claims (15)

1. An organopexy tool set (S) comprising a plurality of suturing tools, an extruding device and a puncture needle, each suturing tool having a suture thread and securing section, the puncture needle being sized to accept a plurality of securing sections, wherein a first securing section of the plurality of securing sections is inserted into a patient's body by applying a force to the extruding device and wherein releasing the force applied to the extruding device automatically positions an extruding rod of the extruding device adjacent a second securing section of the plurality of securing sections,

wherein the extruding device further comprises a cylindrical handle section, the extruding rod, and a pressing section, and

wherein the extruding device further comprises:

the extruding rod movable between an interior of the cylindrical handle section and an interior of the puncture needle; and

a friction member engaging the interior of the cylindrical handle section, the friction member having a through-hole therein for passing the extruding rod under a prescribed frictional force to a pressing part.

2. An organopexy tool set (S) comprising a plurality of suturing tools, an extruding device and a puncture needle, each suturing tool having a suture thread and securing section, the puncture needle being sized to accept a plurality of securing sections, wherein a first securing section of the plurality of securing sections is inserted into a patient's body by applying a force to the extruding device and wherein releasing the force applied to the extruding device automatically positions an extruding rod of the extruding device adjacent a second securing section of the plurality of securing sections,

wherein the extruding device further comprises a cylindrical handle section, the extruding rod, and a pressing section, and

wherein the cylindrical handle section comprises a pedestal and a hold releasing part, and

wherein the organopexy tool set further comprises a fastening tool which comprises a cylindrical fastening part and a flange-shaped fastening release piece, wherein the fastening part is dimensioned to enter a central hole of the pedestal, and

wherein the fastening tool is pressed by a pressing part of the pressing section and moves towards a tip of a cylindrical body to hold the extruding rod.

3. An organopexy tool set (S) comprising a plurality of suturing tools, an extruding device and a puncture needle, each suturing tool having a suture thread and securing section, the puncture needle being sized to accept a plurality of securing sections, wherein a first securing section of the plurality of securing sections is inserted into a patient's body by applying a force to the extruding device and wherein releasing the force applied to the extruding device automatically positions an extruding rod of the extruding device adjacent a second securing section of the plurality of securing sections,

wherein the extruding device further comprises a cylindrical handle section, the extruding rod, and a pressing section, and

wherein the cylindrical handle section comprises a pedestal and a hold releasing part, and

wherein the organopexy tool set further comprises a fastening tool which comprises a cylindrical fastening part and a flange-shaped fastening release piece, wherein the fastening part is dimensioned to enter a central hole of the pedestal, and

wherein the fastening tool is pressed by the hold releasing part and moves closer to a base end than holding pieces on the cylindrical body to release holding of the extruding rod by the holding parts.
