Zusammenfassung:One aspect provides a suture system including a tool and a suture assembly. The tool includes a head having a proximal portion housing a needle and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal portion by a throat, the needle is movable through a needle exit port formed in the proximal portion of the head to a cavity formed in the distal end of the head. The suture assembly includes suture connected to a suture clip that includes a cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end and a slot formed in the cylindrical body between the proximal end and the distal end that allows the cylindrical body to flex in a radial direction, a tab extending from the distal end and configured to be crimped onto an end of the length of suture, and a rib formed on an interior surface of the cylindrical body.
