StitchKit® Technology Overview
The StitchKit® is a single use canister designed to pass multiple strands of suture with attached needles into the surgery site at once. The needles are parked into foam pads, holding them securely in place prior to being passed through a trocar to the surgical site.
Once the canister is delivered to the site, the atraumatic device is opened and the surgeon proceeds to suture for the procedure. As suturing is completed with each strand, the used needle is placed into a secure compartment within the canister for safe keeping until the entire canister is removed through the trocar using the attached retrieval string.

Indication for Use: The StitchKit® device facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing. Monotex® PTFE surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including cardiovascular, dental, general surgical procedures and repair of the dura mater. Monotex® PTFE sutures are not indicated for use in microsurgery, ophthalmic procedures, or peripheral neural tissues. Monotex® PTFE suture is provided sterile as a single use device.
Indication for Use: StitchKit® Suture Delivery Canister facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing. The suture contained within the StitchKit® device is intended for soft tissue approximation where use of the specific absorbable or non-absorbable sutures contained within it is appropriate.

Advantages
StitchKit® is designed to:
Improve safety by eliminating exposed needle transfer and providing a visible, secure area to capture used suture needles.
Increase surgeon autonomy as individual sutures no longer need to be passed one at a time.
Enhance efficiency by delivering six sutures at once, which can be rapidly accessed when needed.
Allow surgeon to reduce assistant port size or even eliminate assistant port entirely, which could result in less post-op pain.
Clinical Use
StitchKit® facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field via a uniquely designed canister. The canister held by one of the two tabs with a robotic grasper, and is inserted through a ≥ 12 mm trocar, safely delivering 6 sutures at a time.
Once inside, the surgeon opens the canister by gently twisting the two larger tabs on either end of the device. This reveals a suture holding compartment, which stores the six sutures. A suture is then removed by grasping one needle and gently pulling the suture out from the canister. Repeat for all sutures within the device as needed.
Each used needle should be placed into the StitchKit® sharps container blunt end first via either of the two trap doors. To remove StitchKit® from the surgical field, the surgeon should close the device using the tabs on either end using the robotic needle holders, until the device is obviously closed. It can then be transferred out through the trocar.
