The Suture Passer is designed for suturing the meniscus under direct arthroscopic monitoring. The MMII allows the surgeon to work from the outside of the knee into the joint, instead of starting sutures inside the capsule and exiting them blindly out the back. This represents a safer, more effective method of treatment for repairable meniscus tears.

The Suture Passer utilizes curved and straight spinal needles. The components and the outside-in approach minimize the risk of damage to neurovascular structures during meniscal repair.

Passing suture material through the loop is accomplished with either the straight or curved suture passer. The tiny jaws of each suture passer are smooth to minimize the risk of crimping the suture material.
