Abstract

See full text

A spring-loaded, cylindrical suture passer with hand grip and release button, capable of firmly grasping suture within a clamping inner cannula, particularly useful in facial plastic and head and neck surgery. The suture passer's design facilitates smaller entry incisions and less subcutaneous tissue dissection in order to pass sutures through soft tissues, thereby reducing post-operative swelling and recovery time.
