An apparatus (100) for cutting sutures (601) is provided. The apparatus (100) includes a handle (101) and an extension member (105) extending therefrom. The extension member (105) includes a first extension rail (103) coupled fixedly with the handle (101) and a second extension rail (104) that is configured to slide along the first extension rail (103) when cutting a suture (601). A detachable blade (108) is coupled to the second extension rail (104) and can be replaced when a compliance member (114) is moved such that the second extension rail (104) is able to pivot away from the first extension rail (103). A user actuates a push button (110) that causes the second extension rail (104) to move such that the detachable blade (108) passes into a blade receiving aperture (207), thereby severing a suture (601) engaged in the suture hook (106).
