    • The invention is directed to a device and method for securing a passed surgical suture in a manner similar to a tied knot. The suture securing device comprises a male piece having a top portion, a center shaft having one end connected to the top portion, and an end member having a capturing feature connected to another end of the center shaft; and a female piece having a top end and a bottom end comprising a column being generally cylindrical in shape and forming a hollow opening along its length, wherein the opening slidingly receives the center shaft and a suture to be captured and held by the capturing feature, the suture being secured in place between the column and the center shaft. The assembled male and female pieces are irreversibly interlocked and form a lightly compressed, convoluted or tortuous pathway. The capturing feature is formed to engage and obliquely capture the suture from different angles. The radii of the male and female pieces are preferably greater than the radius of the suture. The securing device may further comprise a link formed between the male and female pieces. The link may be a tether formed when the male and female pieces are formed. The link may be severed and removed after placement and assembling of the male and female pieces. In another aspect of the invention, a method for applying a suture securing device is disclosed comprising the steps of: (1) providing the suture securing device of the invention; (2) aligning the male piece and the female piece at a desired location for applying the suture securing device; and (3) pressing the center shaft of the male piece into the opening of the female piece. The method may further comprise the step of applying a compressive load on the male piece to dislodge an enlargement from an undercut of the female piece and to place the male piece and the female piece in a condition where they may be advanced to a desired position along the suture.

    • A releasable mechanism such as a cap is adapted for use with an access sheath having an elongate tube and a handle structure disposed at a proximal end of the tube. The releasable mechanism is sized and configured to fit the handle structure, which is shaped like the bell of a horn, to further facilitate use with surgical instrumentation. The releasable mechanism may operate as a separate cap that snaps onto the handle structure to provide access pathways to the sheath. The releasable mechanism may also be disposed at a proximal end of a surgical instrument to be introduced into the access sheath such that it may be interlocked with the sheath. In a method of manufacturing a kink-resistant sheath, a wire is initially coated with a plastic material, the coated wire is then wrapped around a mandrel forming a plurality of windings, and the wound coated wire is heated until the plastic material melts and bonds the windings to form a wire-reinforced sheath. The plastic material is preferably polyurethane but may be a thermoplastic, a thermoset or any plastic material having hard and/or soft durometer. The wound coated wire may be heated by capturing the windings within a shrink tube or compressing the windings in a mold and heating the windings until the sheath is formed. In another aspect of the invention, a mandrel is used as part of an extrusion process. In another aspect of the invention, another coating or outside layer could be formed over the spring reinforcement by dipping in a solvent based solution. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a braid such as a polyester braid may be used instead of or in addition to the coil spring to form a kink-resistant sheath.

    • The invention is directed to a suture clinch that may be placed upon suture extensions of a placed suture to securely lock the extensions in a desired location. The clinch operates to replace a tied knot and retain the suture in a fixed relationship with little or no damage to the suture itself. The clinch comprises a mating pair of interlocking members that restrict movements of the suture. The interlocking members may be placed upon the suture extensions from alongside the suture extensions and compressed to a first condition where the interlocking members may be advanced, retracted or adjusted, and subsequently further compressed to a second condition where the interlocking members are fully engaged to fully restrict the movement of the suture. In another aspect, the clinch may be provided in a flat form comprising a first component and a second component. The first and second components fit together in a mating relationship that entraps at least a portion of the suture between tractive faces of the first and second components, respectively. Each end of the first and second components may have a recessed central portion that leaves two extensions along the sides of each end of the components. The extensions of the second component are subsequently folded over the first component to provide secure entrapment of the suture between the tractive faces of the first and second components. The tractive faces operate to engage the suture and hold it securely in place without damaging or challenging the suture. The clinch may comprise of plastic, metallic materials such as stainless steel or titanium, or a combination of both where the plastic is chosen for its value as an atraumatic interface and the metal for its radiopacity or durability.
