Abstract
A device for cardiac surgery includes a first frame member having a first end that is pivotably coupled to a first end of a second frame member, and two or more apertures are disposed through each of the first and second frame members that are each configured to receive a corresponding portion of suture. The first frame member and the second frame member are pivotably displaceable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, a second end of the first frame member and a second end of the second frame member are separated by a first distance, and in the second position, the second end of the first frame member and the second end of the second frame member are separated by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.
