A suture knot pusher, single-use is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to advance extracorporeally tied suture knots to the desired tension during internal suturing procedures, such as heart valve repair. It consists of a long, thin rod with a guiding feature at the tip—like an eyelet or groove—to steer along the suture and a blunted nose to push the knot without damaging the thread.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one procedure and then discarded. Regulatory oversight applies based on its intended use and design, with classification determined by jurisdiction-specific rules; it is supplied sterile and ready for immediate use in the operating room.
