Abstract:
A closure system for closing an opening in tissue, the closure system including a closure device and a knot replacement device configured to position a suture lock on a suture. The closure device includes a housing, a needle actuation handle cooperating with the housing, a first hollow needle selectively movable by the needle actuation handle and operatively cooperating with a suture anchor frictionally engaged with a slot and a lumen of the first hollow needle and coupled to a suture. A portion of the suture anchor rests along an outer surface of the first hollow needle as the first hollow needle is advanced through tissue adjacent the opening.
