Abstract
A crimping device for securing a suture to a double-pointed medical suture needle includes a lower block and an upper block that are pressed towards each other to secure the suture to the needle. The lower block has a first groove to accommodate the suture and a second groove to accommodate the needle. The grooves are substantially perpendicularly to each other. The lower block has a lower crimping pin in a lower crimping pin channel at an intercept of the first and second groove. The upper block has an upper crimping pin arranged in an upper crimping pin channel at the intercept of the grooves. The lower and upper crimping pins are configured to move in the lower and upper crimping pin channels, respectively, towards the groove intercept to secure the suture to the needle. A method of securing a suture to a double-pointed medical suture needle is also disclosed.
