摘要:
Devices and methods for the suture repair of tissue are disclosed. An apparatus includes a handle, a needle assembly, and an actuator. The handle has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The needle assembly is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration and a second configuration, and includes a first needle and a first capture member. The actuator is movably coupled to the handle and includes a first coupling portion operably coupled to the needle assembly. The first coupling portion is configured to move relative to the handle in response to a first force to transition the first needle assembly from the first configuration in which the first capture member is spaced apart from the first needle to the second configuration in which the first capture member engages the first needle. Methods of suture repair are also disclosed.
