The suture cutter was designed to facilitate arthroscopic cutting of FiberWire and braided suture. The uniquely designed cutting jaws remain sharp throughout repeated use. The suture cutter is available in a closed and open end, left notch version. The closed end suture cutter allows the surgeon to leave a 3 mm suture tail without the possibility of cutting the knot. The open end, left notch version facilitates suture cutting inside the joint without having to top load the cutter.
