Abstract
A knot pusher () includes a tubular suture holder () having a tubular wall with a suture-receiving slot (), within which a mandrel () is axially displaceable. The suture-receiving slot () preferably includes a narrow distal slot portion, a first transition region starting at a first distance from the distal tip at which a first edge () is shaped so as to diverge from a second edge () of the slot while the second edge extends in an axial direction, and a second transition region, starting further from the distal tip, at which the second edge diverges from the axial direction away from the first edge. This defines an oblique groove crossing the tubular suture holder for receiving a suture.
