1. A suture passer device having a suture-passing tissue penetrator that travels in a sigmoidal pathway, the device comprising:
a first jaw member extending distally from an elongate body, wherein the first jaw member includes a deflection surface and a distal opening;
a second jaw member extending distally from the elongate body, wherein the first jaw member and the second jaw member form a distal-facing mouth; and
a tissue penetrator configured to extend from the second jaw member, across the distal-facing mouth, into the first jaw member, deflect against the deflection surface and extend distally from the distal opening of the first jaw member.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An adapter card connecting a signal generator of a dynamic burn-in apparatus to a burn-in card with semiconductors, comprising:
