ABSTRACT:
A combined apparatus for heating and cutting a suture tip formed from a length of unfinished surgical suture material. First and second heating dies are provided for heating the length of unfinished surgical suture material to form the suture tip, and first and second cutting dies are provided for cutting the suture tip. At least one heating die mechanical actuator is provided for moving the first heating die between a retracted and an extended position and for moving the second heating die between a retracted and an extended position, the first and second heating dies occupying a combined heating and cutting space adjacent to the unfinished surgical suture material only when the first and second cutting dies are in their retracted positions. At least one cutting die mechanical actuator is provided for moving the first cutting die between its retracted and an extended position and for moving the second cutting die between its retracted and an extended position, the first and second cutting dies occupying the combined heating and cutting space only when the first and second heating dies are in their retracted positions.
