ABSTRACT:
A suture passer of the type adapted for releasably retaining a suture is disclosed. The suture passer has a handle and an elongate tubular probe guide extending in a distal direction from the handle. The tubular probe guide can be straight or curved. An elongate probe is axially movably disposed within the tubular probe guide, for motion between at least one retracted position and an extended position in which the sharpened distal tip of the probe is exposed. The probe has a recess, which cooperates with an opening on the tubular guide for receiving a suture.
