Abstract
A suture locking device includes a carrier member, a locking assembly, a suture path, and an actuator assembly. The locking assembly includes a first locking member having an outer surface portion, and a second locking member having an inner surface portion. The suture path is receptive of a suture and defined at least partially through the first locking member, between the outer and inner surface portions, and at least partially through the carrier member. The actuator assembly is operable to move the first and second locking members together to lock the suture relative to the lock assembly.
