Abstract

The invention provides a suture passer device for passing a length of suture through an object. The suture passer device includes a hollow tube having a proximal end and a curved distal tube portion extending to a distal end. The suture passer device also includes a handle attached to the proximal end of the hollow tube, an actuator on the handle movable between first, second, and third positions,and an internal arm within the curved distal tube portion and connected to the actuator. The internal arm is movable between first, second, and third configurations. When the actuator is in the firstposition, the internal arm extends out from the distal tube portion at an angle from the distal tube portion in the first configuration. When the actuator is in the second position, the internal armis retracted within the distal tube portion in the second configuration.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 598,545, filed December 14, 2017, entitled "Suture Passer Device." technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to surgical devices and methods, and more particularly to surgical devices and methods for passing sutures through tissue. Background technique [0004] Sutures often must be threaded through tissue during surgical procedures. For example, in many orthopedic procedures it is necessary to pass sutures through tissue to appose the tissue to the bone. Generally, a suture is attached to or otherwise passed through the needle, and the needle passes through the tissue. In some procedures, it is difficult to access tissue at the surgical site. In these cases, a suture passer device is typically used to direct or guide a needle through proximal to distal tissue, and back out through proximal tissue. However,...
