Abstract:
1. A gastrointestinal suture anchor set device comprising: a needle; a pusher slidably received in the needle; a suture clamp assembly with an anchor attached to one end of a length of suture, which is slidably received in a sequence of suture passages defined by a clamp in a high profile sliding configuration; the anchor being received in one end of the needle with the suture extending outside of the needle; the clamp includes a series of disks movable to a low profile clamped configuration at which different segments of the suture are clamped between faces of adjacent disks; each disk of the series of disks having opposite faces separated by a thickness of the disk, and each of the suture passages extending through the thickness between the opposite faces of one of the disks; and the series of disks defining the sequence of suture passages that are segments of a tortuous pathway through the clamp traversed by the suture, and the tortuous pathway includes different segments between faces of adjacent disks connecting consecutive suture passages when in the low profile clamped configuration.
