A suture knot making device is provided including a cylindrical member having distal and proximal portions. The distal portion has a convexly curved end from which first and second bores are disposed through the cylindrical member. Each bore has a distal open end disposed substantially adjacent a transition area where the convexly curved end merges with the cylindrical surface of the device. The distal open ends are disposed approximately 180 DEG apart. Each of the first and second bores extends at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member whereby the bore cross within the member without intersecting. When a suture is formed into a loop and at least one of its ends is passed through a bore from the distal end of the device and is held taut at the proximal end, the suture is tightly forced against the convexly curved end of the device to thereby permit a tight knot to be formed at the surgical site.
