CA 2143066

A probe for inserting suture in a body comprises an elongated shaft having an opening therein adjacent to a tissue puncturing tip for receiving an end of the suture. Other portions of the suture are disposed outside of the shaft. A clamp releasably secures the end of the suture within the opening. In a preferred embodiment, the opening is oriented at an acute angle to the shaft, and the clamp includes a rod disposed for axial movement within the shaft and having a distal end arranged to intercept the opening. An actuator mounted to a handle of the probe engages a proximal end of the rod to selectively move the rod axially between a first position in which the distal end of the rod clamps the end of the suture within the opening, and a second position in which the rod releases the suture for removal from the opening.
