Suture Management


The Suture Cutter’s precision jaws prevent knot cutting by leaving a length of reproducible suture tail, 3 mm for the 4.2 mm outer diameter cutter and 1 mm for the 2.75 mm outer diameter cutters, without direct visual control. These cutters have a special locking device to prevent premature suture cutting. The blunt tip of the cutter is excellent for knot pushing.

The open-ended Suture Cutter was designed to speed up the suture cutting process. This cutter allows for quick and efficient suture tail cutting under direct visual control through the same or alternate cannula or portal. The notch on the side of the cutter tip automatically guides the suture tails into the front cutting slot for an accurate cut from any angle.

Graspers are available in 2.75 mm, 3.4 mm and 4.2 mm shafts. Series 1 NR Graspers are made with non-ratcheting handles and are nonlocking. Series 1 SR Graspers feature a self-releasing locking mechanism. All WishBone™ graspers feature a ratcheting lock mechanism that can be disengaged for nonlocking operation.
