Abstract
A surgical multipurpose knot pusher that allows an extracorporeal knot to be slid down around a limb of suture without deforming or collapsing the knot. This knot pusher includes a handle portion and an elongated shaft extending from the handle portion to the distal part of the instrument. This distal part is provided with two jaws and one of them, the lower one, has a shallow oblique groove. With the jaws open the suture thread is placed in the shallow oblique groove and then retained captive when the jaws are closed. The jaws of the instrument can incorporate a suture cutter in the form of small scissors.
