SUTURE PASSER WITH LOCKING ACTUATOR

Suture passer devices include a cannulated needle, a slidable member extending through the needle and a handle attached to a proximal portion of the needle. An actuator is in operative communication with a proximal portion of the slidable member. The actuator is configured to selectively translate the slidable member distally relative to the needle whereby the slidable member is extended relative to a distal portion of the needle and proximally relative to the needle whereby the slidable member is retracted and secured in a retracted position relative to the distal portion of the needle. The actuator further includes a locking mechanism for selectively locking the slidable member while in the retracted position. A first range of motion of the actuator is configured to control extending and retracting the slidable member and a second range of motion is configured to control locking and unlocking the slidable member. 缝线穿引器装置包括套管针、延伸通过针的可滑动构件和附接到针的近侧部分的柄部。致动器与可滑动构件的近侧部分可操作地连通。致动器构造成选择性地相对于针向远侧平移可滑动构件，由此可滑动构件相对于针
