Abstract
Abstract A process for tying live tissue and an instrument used in performing the tying operation. The tie is of the type comprising a toothed strap having an apertured head at one end, the other end of the strap being threaded through the head and locked therein by a pawl. The instrument comprises an extension having a fork-like construction for holding the head of the looped tie, a rod adapted to be moved relative to the extension and having a buckle-like construction for holding the free end of the strap, and a handle for effecting the movement of the rod relative to the extension whereby the strap is pulled through the head of the tie so as to tighten the loop around the live tissue.
