Abstract

A suture system (t0) for closing a wound defined by tissue portions includes an elongate suture (12) having a pair of ends (14, 16) adapted for threading relative to the tissue portions leaving the suture ends free. A
securing mechanism (10) has a first position for capturing the suture ends and a second position for permanently holding the suture ends in a fixed relationship, with the suture tensioned to maintain the tissue portions in close proximity. In a thirst position, the securing mechanism frictionally engages the suture ends in a sliding relationship. In an associated method, continuous tension is placed on the suture ends during operation of the securing mechanism.
