Intended purpose
COR-KNOT QUICK LOAD is intended to be used with the COR-KNOT Device to fasten suture by placing a titanium COR-KNOT as a means of replacing hand-tied knots during cardiac and general surgical applications.
Functional description
A COR-KNOT© QUICK LOAD© FASTENER is loaded into the distal end of the COR-KNOT© Device. Suture ends are passed through the wire snare and pulled through the titanium fastener using the curved handle. The Device is positioned against the tissue/prosthetic while suture is tensioned. The purple lever is squeezed, crimping the titanium fastener and suture tails are cut. Releasing the lever frees the fastener from the Device. The tissue/prosthetic is held by the suture loop with titanium fastener.
