Abstract
Described are devices, methods and systems for securing sutures external to the body. In certain aspects, a suture securement device includes a housing member defining an internal cavity and a wedge member moveable within the cavity between a suture-release position to a suture-retention position. The wedge member defines a suture aperture extending therethrough. At the suture-retention position, the housing member is configured to compress the wedge member to clamp the suture, thereby substantially preventing the suture from moving within the aperture.
