A device includes a body (16) defining a tapered hole (18) for guiding a member, such as a suture thread (12), into a tube (14), and a slot (32) communicating with the hole for separating the body and the member. The body defines a bore (28) for receiving the tube. The bore communicates with the tapered hole. The bore has a constant diameter or is tapered. A width of the bore is greater than a width of a narrowest portion of the tapered hole. The slot extends from the tapered hole and the bore to an external surface of the body. A method includes coupling a body to an end of a tube, quiding a member into the tube through a tapered hole, and separating the body and the member by passing the member through a slot.
