Abstract
A suture retention device includes a housing having one or more suture slots. The device also includes a plunger with suture slots. The plunger is slidably disposed in a channel in the housing and when the housing suture slots are aligned with the plunger suture slots, a suture filament may be disposed in the slots. When the plunger is actuated so that the housing suture slots are misaligned with the plunger suture slots, the suture filament is captured between the plunger and the housing preventing movement of the suture filament.
