The housing defines a longitudinal axis and has a longitudinal passage. The longitudinal passage is adapted to allow passage of a plurality of sutures through the housing. The suture management system, which is operatively coupled to the housing, includes a flapper having a plurality of spaced apart recesses. Each recess includes an insert disposed in mechanical cooperation therewith, and each insert has a slit configured to receive and hold at least one suture of the plurality of sutures. |
