A suture assembly elongate along a longitudinal direction, the suture assembly, comprising: a release member including a lumen that extends along the longitudinal direction; a first suture having a first coupling member disposed in the lumen; a second suture having a second coupling member disposed in the lumen opposite with respect to the first coupling member along the longitudinal direction; and a releasable joint where the first suture and the second suture are interlaced with each other in the lumen, the releasable joint being disposed between the first coupling member and the second coupling member along the longitudinal direction, and the suture assembly is configured to transition from 1) a first attached configuration where the release member captures the first coupling member , the releasable joint , and the second coupling member so as to prevent release of the first and second sutures from each other, into 2) a second released configuration where the release member is moved along the longitudinal direction to release the first and second sutures from each other; characterized in that the first suture is folded in the lumen to define a first loop adjacent to the first coupling member , and the second suture is folded in the lumen to define a second loop that is interlaced with the first loop to define the releasable joint ; and wherein the first attached configuration is where the release member inhibits a) travel of the first coupling member through the second loop and b) travel of the second coupling member through the first loop, thereby capturing the first coupling member , the releasable joint , and the second coupling member . a release member including a lumen that extends along the longitudinal direction; a first suture having a first coupling member disposed in the lumen; a second suture having a second coupling member disposed in the lumen opposite with respect to the first coupling member along the longitudinal direction; and a releasable joint where the first suture and the second suture are interlaced with each other in the lumen, the releasable joint being disposed between the first coupling member and the second coupling member along the longitudinal direction, and the suture assembly is configured to transition from 1) a first attached configuration where the release member captures the first coupling member , the releasable joint , and the second coupling member so as to prevent release of the first and second sutures from each other, into 2) a second released configuration where the release member is moved along the longitudinal direction to release the first and second sutures from each other; characterized in that the first suture is folded in the lumen to define a first loop adjacent to the first coupling member , and the second suture is folded in the lumen to define a second loop that is interlaced with the first loop to define the releasable joint ; and wherein the first attached configuration is where the release member inhibits a) travel of the first coupling member through the second loop and b) travel of the second coupling member through the first loop, thereby capturing the first coupling member , the releasable joint , and the second coupling member . <EOS>
