Abstract:
1. A syringe subassembly for connection to a needle, comprising: a syringe including a plunger and a chamber and an exit conduit, said plunger having a distal end mounted in said chamber for motion to draw in and expel liquid with sufficient flow to pass a suture into and out of said chamber with said liquid, said syringe subassembly substantially free of components supported to said chamber between said plunger and an outlet of said chamber; and a suture positioned in said chamber between said plunger and said exit conduit and having a distal end and a proximal end, said distal end of said suture positioned for passage through said exit conduit, said proximal end of said suture attached to said distal end of said plunger so as to prevent movement of said proximal end of said suture relative to said distal end of said plunger during said motion to draw in or expel liquid, and so as to prevent said proximal end of said suture from exiting said chamber.
