Abstract: A device for suture thread cutting, containing: an external tube having a slot with a distal first edge; an internal cutter having an opening with a second edge, the wherein the slot and opening together form a pathway which guides the suture thread; wherein the internal cutter is positioned and is fitted inside the external tube; wherein the external tube and the internal cutter are movable relative to each other whereby the first and second edges are movable from a first position, in which the first and second edges are spaced a first distance apart, to a second position, in which the first and second edges are spaced a second distance apart, the first distance larger than the second distance, wherein in the first position the suture thread is retained within the slot and wherein in the second position the suture thread is cut between the first and second edges.

Abstract: A bone drill guiding device, comprising: a drill entry portion including a first contact point for engaging a first side of a bone, wherein the drill entry portion includes at least one bore sized to receive a bone drill therethrough; a bone securing portion including a second contact point for engaging a second side of the bone, the second side of the bone opposite the first side of the bone; wherein the device includes a third contact point on one of the drill entry portion and the bone securing portion; and a coupling to selectably rigidly connect the drill entry portion and the bone securing portion for positioning the drill entry portion and the bone securing portion on opposite sides of the bone.

Abstract: A method of forming a channel in a bone, the method comprising: providing a first bore in the bone; and forming, a second bore in the bone at a predefined angle from said first bore, using said first bore as a reference point for defining the location of the second bore in the bone, wherein the first and second bores intersect in the bone.

Abstract: A suture capturing device configured to attain multiple preset orientations, comprising: a handle; a hollow shaft coupled to said handle; a rigid needle element configured with a hook for catching a suture and where the needle element is operatively coupled to the hollow shaft opposite the handle and configured to be slidable in a first direction to assume an open orientation where the hook is exposed relative to the hollow shaft and in a second direction to assume a closed orientation where the hook is not exposed relative to the hollow shaft.

Abstract: A device for suture thread cutting, containing: a handle; a stationary external element having a channel at the distal end, and a proximal end connected to said handle, said channel is fitted and shaped for holding a suture thread; a movable cutter having a cutting edge, partially inserted into said handle, said cutting edge is configured to move between a first position and a second position in said channel; wherein in said first position the suture thread is retained within the channel and in said second position the suture thread is cut.
