THREADING SUTURE THROUGH A LOADED TITANIUM KNOT® Extracorporeally: surgeons typically use their non-dominant hand to hold the device near the end of the shaft and their dominant hand to complete the suture threading technique.
PASS both ends of the suture through the open wire snare at the end of the shaft.
PULL the curved handle with its attached wire snare containing the suture ends towards the red lever to draw the snared bends in the suture into the TITANIUM KNOT®.
THREAD the suture through the TITANIUM KNOT® and out of the suture hole near the end of the shaft by continuing to pull the curved handle until the wire snare and both ends of the suture exit through the suture hole.
GRASP both ends of the suture after passing off the curved handle with the wire snare.
