Abstract
Disclosed herein are suture systems and method of use thereof. The suture systems can include a passer, a needle, a first suture, and a second suture. The needle can be sized to pass through a cavity defined by the passer and define an attachment member. The first suture can include a first end, a second end, and a portion sized to be received by the attachment member and pass through the passer. The second suture can include a suture passage extending from a suture inlet to a suture exit. The first suture can be operable to pull a portion of the second suture at least partially around an anatomical structure. The second suture can be operable to reduce an anatomical structure when a first end of the second suture is passed through the suture passage.
