ABSTRACT:
Suture tying forceps of improved construction are disclosed which materially reduce a suture being flexed therein from breaking. The suture typing forceps include a pair of members mounted in the free ends of a pair of gripping arms integrally joined at one end. The members terminate in a pair of suture tying tips, respectively featuring a pair of complementary mating surfaces serving as suture clamping surfaces. For the most part, the suture clamping surfaces are designed to clamp a suture segment which is about ten times the thickness of the suture. The suture clamping surfaces further are designed to define a flexing angle transversely thereof which is less than a right angle.
