Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1504829A1] The method involves soldering portions (2, 3) of a needle (1) under the impact of a laser pulse beam. The portion (3) has an end through which a suture thread is inserted. The thread is placed at interior of a blind hole (8). The portions are rotated with respect to each other. The speed of rotational movement is adjusted such that complete turning is carried out during the duration of beam impulsion.
