Patent abstract
A device for tensioning suture which includes two telescopically slidable cannulated tubes. An adjustment wheel is coupled to and turns a threaded post which is threadingly engaged with the proximal end of one of the slidable tubes. A suture end is passed through the cannulated tubes of the suture tensioning device and secured to the adjustment wheel. Rotating the adjustment wheel counterclockwise increases the overall length of the suture tensioning device and increases tension on the suture.
