Device typeSuturing unit, reprocessed: A non-powered, hand-held device intended to pass sutures or a needle/suture assembly through tissues/prosthetic materials to facilitate suturing during an endoscopic and/or open surgical procedure; it may also knot, cut and/or tighten the sutures/ligature loop during or after placement. It typically consists of a shaft with hooks, catches, clasps, or forceps-like jaws at the distal end, and a proximal handle with controls. It typically has a pointed/cutting component to create a suture tunnel, and is loaded with the sutures or the suture is inserted through the shaft. This is a previously used single-use device that has been processed for an additional single-use patient application.
