  • LOCKERS FOR SURGICAL TENSIONING MEMBERS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME TO SECURE SURGICAL TENSIONING MEMBERS
    Publication number: 20070276437
    Abstract: A locker for securing one or more tensioning members includes a locker body having a first aperture, a second aperture, and a passageway extending therebetween. A pin is coupled to the locker body so as to traverse the passageway and is movable between a latent condition wherein the tensioning members are movable with respect to the locker body, and an activated condition wherein the tensioning members are prevented from moving relative to the locker body. A method of using a suture locker includes delivering the suture locker to a surgical site via a catheter assembly and actuating the pin so as to move the locker from the latent condition to the activated condition.
