ABSTRACT:
A suture applying device comprises an elongate shaft having a slidably mounted cutting member. A pre-tied suture loop is held at the distal end of the shaft with a free end of the suture being attached to a body member which is slidably received over the shaft. The cutting member is secured to the shaft by a link which collapses under a predetermined compressive force, causing the cutting member to move distally forward relative to the shaft to sever the free end of the suture. In this way, the suture loop can be initially tightened and subsequently severed by simply retracting the body member relative to the shaft in a single motion.
