Suture retaining clip.

摘要

A suture holding clip (100) including legs (110, 120) each having a suture contacting surface. The legs can be closed to define an interface for holding a suture in a serpentine configuration (112, 114, 122, 124). In another embodiment (Figs. 11, 12) the suture holding clip is initially in a spider leg configuration with a spine and legs projecting from the spine and alternately angled to one or the other of two directions so as to define therebetween a lengthwise extending passage for the reception therethrough of a suture. <IMAGE>
