A suture passer comprising: a hollow tube, the hollow tube comprising a distal and proximal end, a lumen extending from the distal end to the proximal end, a window formed in the sidewall of the tube, the window communicating with the lumen; and a clamping rod slidably received in the lumen of the tube, the clamping rod comprising a distal and proximal end, the distal end being bifurcated into a first and second arm, one of the arms extending distally of the other of the arms and including a clamping surface, and at least one of the arms being outwardly biased such that when the clamping rod is moved distally so that the distal end of the at least one outwardly biased arm is adjacent to the window, the distal end of the at least one outwardly biased arm extends outwardly through the window. |
