A medical/veterinary suture crimp tool includes a stationary jaw at a distal end of a fixed shank and having across its width and extending at least partially along its length spaced fixed crimp members including at least first, second, and third crimp members and a moveable jaw at a distal end of a linearly driven crossbar and having across its width and extending at least partially along its length, spaced crimp members including at least fourth, fifth, and sixth crimp members opposing, respectively, the first, second, and third crimp members of the stationary jaw. An alignment fiduciary is associated with said fifth crimp member of the stationary jaw for alignment with an alignment fiduciary of a crimp tube. A first handle is connected to the fixed shank and a second handle is pivotably connected to the fixed shank and configured to drive the crossbar linearly with respect to the fixed shank to fully crimp the crimp tube.
