ABSTRACT:
A suture retainer includes a plug portion having a first portion with a suture contacting surface and a prong extending distally therefrom. The prong has at least one aperture for receiving one or more suture threads. The aperture is at least partially defined by a crossbar with a proximal stop surface. The crossbar preferably includes a beveled distal edge. The suture retainer also includes a receptacle portion having a slot for receiving a prong. The receptacle portion has a resilient latch positioned inside the slot for preventing proximal withdrawal of the first portion. The latch being a resilient member projecting from the inner wall of the receptacle slot and including an inclined proximal surface and a distal blocking surface for engaging the proximal stop surface of the crossbar. The suture retainer may optionally be fabricated from a bioabsorbable synthetic resin.
