A first opposed cavity in the frame member has a first cam shaft and first set of cams. A second opposed cavity Each cam shaft is rotatably mounted to the frame within the cavities. The frame also has a central cavity for receiving the pivot shaft. Fixedly mounted to the top of the pivot shaft in the central cavity is a pinion gear. The pinion gear engages a pair of opposed bevel gears, wherein each opposed bevel gear is mounted to an end of a cam shaft. Mounted to the top of the housing frame member is a package support member containing a plurality of winding pin holes. The package support member is shaped to conform to the dimensions of a suture winding tray having a top surface with a winding channel in which it is desired to load or wind a suture. Winding pins are mounted to a plurality of nested concentric cage plate members movably mounted on top of the frame. The nested cage plate members are sequentially engaged on their bottom sides by cam followers which are in turn engaged by the cams.
