摘要：
A medical implement includes a handle having a proximal portion for manual gripping by a user, a distal portion, an internal passageway for a suture shuttle extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the handle, and an intermediate portion formed with a thumb depression facing a first direction. The proximal portion includes a slot for enabling side-loading of a suture shuttle into a proximal portion of the internal passageway. The slot faces a second direction and extends longitudinally from the proximal end of the handle to an intersection with the thumb depression. At the intersection the slot is exposed in the first direction. A roller is rotatably mounted at the thumb depression, such that when the suture shuttle is loaded into the internal passageway, the thumb of a user gripping the handle at the depression may press an exposed portion of the suture shuttle against the roller.
