Zusammenfassung:Suture cutting devices to be used arthroscopically, for example, in an arthroscopic knee surgery may be operated with a control for rotating a cutter to cut a suture, for example, once a knot is placed in the suture. The rotatable cutter may also be configured to axially translate during a suture cutting procedure. The rotation and axial translation of the cutter may be separately or simultaneously executed. The suture cutting devices may be configured to push the knot within the suture and secure the suture for cutting near the knot. The suture cutting devices may include a holding tube and mandrel for securing the suture, for example, prior to cutting.
