There are so many patents concerning drug releasing thread. The main reason may be quantification of used thread is very difficult. The amount of used thread should be quantified because the thread is actually the drug that should be quantified. Measuring the amount of used thread is inconvenient and bothersome as for doctor performing surgery. If we use mechanical digital sewing machine instead analogue human�??s hand sewing, measuring the amount of used thread is very easy. We performed animal study using surgical sewing machine. First machine is nearly the common industrial sewing machine with little modification. Second machine is handpiece type surgical sewing machine. All 4 animals were alive after instinct surgery. Though we don�??t develop sensor which can detect the length or weight of the used thread, theoretically measuring the stroke length of needle or measuring the weight of thread is so easy. Till now surgical sewing machine is not introduced in surgical area. But some day digital surgical sewing machine may replace analogue humans�?? hand sewing just as in industrial area since industrial revolution area.
