Abstract
A suture cutter assembly has a cutter blade axially reciprocable relative to a tube having at least one opening. An offset is in the tube or the cutter blade for capturing of the severed portion of the suture as the blade is advanced within the tube. A suture cutter assembly includes a recess formed in a shaft which is axially reciprocable within a tube. The recess is configured to receive at least a portion of a severed suture segment. The reception of a severed suture segment portion in the recess may reduce crimping of the severed suture segment between the shaft and the tube, thereby reducing the amount of force required to reciprocate the shaft within the tube when the severed suture segment is positioned between the shaft and the tube.
