A suture attachment device (5) for fastening multiple suture filaments at a wound or surgical site is provided. In one embodiment, the suture attachment device comprises a lock body (10, 50, 90,110) having a proximal surface (18, 58, 98, 108) and a distal surface (20, 60, 100, 106) and extending along a longitudinal axis. The lock body includes at least two passageways (12, 22, 52, 62,92) defined between the proximal surface and the distal surface. Each of the passageways are sized and shaped for receiving a suture filament.
