ABSTRACT:
A suture sleeve having an elongated body defining a bore and having a relief aperture at a first intermediate position on the body and communicating with the bore. The sleeve includes a pair of actuator tabs connected to a second intermediate position on the body and extending therefrom, and at least a portion of the relief aperture is positioned between the tabs such that actuation of the tabs causes enlargement of the aperture. The sleeve may be movable between a tighter state in which a lead passing through the bore does not readily slide longitudinally within the bore, and a looser state, in which the lead may slide readily through the bore.
