System And Method For Making Tapered Looped Suture

摘要

A mounting assembly for use in forming a looped suture is provided. The anvil assembly includes a first anvil configured to operate with a welding assembly to join a first length of a thread and a second length of the thread to form a loop in the thread. The first anvil is selectively movable in at least first and second directions relative to a welding assembly. The anvil assembly may further include a second anvil configured to operate with a trimming assembly to remove excess thread from the loop, wherein the second anvil is selectively movable in at least first and second directions relative to the trimming assembly.
