ABSTRACT:
A Suture cartridge assembly is disclosed. The cartridge assembly has a partially tied surgical knot formed from a suture filament for facilitating the fastening of body tissue. It also has a core tube to which the partially tied knot is secured. Further, the assembly has a suture cartridge which contains a tube slot for receiving the core tube. The assembly makes it easier to convert the partially tied surgical knot into a non-slip knot to securely and consistently fasten tissue. It is simple in construction, and it is readily adaptable to inclusion on various surgical instruments. When a first partially tied surgical knot is converted to a completed knot, the completed knot and its core tube can be removed from the cartridge, and a second partially tied knot secured about a new core tube can be received into the suture cartridge to enable multiple knot placements.
