ABSTRACT:
A surgical apparatus and method of use is provided for applying and maintaining a securing member upon a length of suture material which extends from body tissue. The apparatus essentially comprises a handle assembly, and elongated housing extending distally from the handle assembly and a tool assembly preferably detachably connected to a distal end of the body portion and remotely operable from the handle. The tool assembly enables a surgeon to compress and maintain a securing member upon suture material in the body cavity while also providing means to cut unsecured suture material which extends from the compressed securing member. Additionally, an instrumentation kit is provided which includes the surgical apparatus and at least one additional tool assembly, as mentioned above, in cooperation with a top cover portion and a bottom cover portion.
