Abstract
A suture fastener delivery device includes a handle, a fastener delivery end comprising a suture fastener and crimping jaws, and a shaft extending between the handle and the fastener delivery end. The shaft comprises a rail, a plurality of reserve suture fasteners, a side suture slot positioned on a side of the shaft to allow the suture ends to exit the delivery device, and a suture cutting blade adjacent to the rail. The suture fastener delivery device can capture a suture within a side slot of the suture device, and upon activation of a trigger on the handle, crimp and bend the suture fastener to secure the fastener, and cut the excess suture ends via the cutting blade. A slider on the handle can then be used to reload a reserve suture fastener, such that additional fasteners can be deployed without removal of the delivery device from the surgical site.
