Abstract

A suture clamping system, comprising a block of material having a hole passing therethrough; and a rotatable element received into the block of material, the rotatable element having a hole passing therethrough, wherein the rotatable element can be positioned such that the hole passing through the block of material and the hole passing through the rotatable element can be placed in alignment forming a passageway through both the block of material and the rotatable element. A method of clamping a suture, comprising passing the suture through a passageway which extends both through a block of material and through a hole in a rotatable element received into the block of material; and turning the rotatable element, and winding the suture pair around the rotatable element within the block of material.
