ABSTRACT:
A suture clip with stop ribs and method for making same is provided. The clip includes a housing having an outer surface, and a pair of jaws extending longitudinally from the housing in an opposing relationship to each other. A resilient pad is carried by one of the jaws and defines with the outer surface of the housing a shutoff cavity. At least one rib extends longitudinally of the housing and across the cavity to inhibit any undesirable passage of the suture into the cavity.
