Abstract:
A suture assembly includes a leader attached to a suture. The leader includes a band, a clasp extending from a distal edge of the band, and at least two prongs extending from a proximal edge of the band. The band is curved to provide the leader with an exterior surface that defines an outermost perimeter of the leader and an interior surface opposite of the exterior surface. The clasp is crimped onto the suture such that the suture is captured within the outermost perimeter of the leader.
