• The EXPRESSEW III AutoCapture+ Loading Tool / Retention Plate is a specialized accessory used in conjunction with the EXPRESSEW III AutoCapture+ flexible suture passer system. Its primary role is to allow precise loading of sutures into the suture passer’s jaws, while retaining and securing the suture until deployment. The device includes a retention plate which helps hold the suture in place, preventing slippage or misalignment as the surgeon positions and advances the passer into tissues. This helps reduce handling challenges and improves procedural reliability.
• In the Instructions For Use (IFU), the manufacturer explicitly warns not to resterilize or reuse the retention plate, noting that reuse can lead to fatigue, breakage, or impaired performance. This emphasis underlines the critical role of the retention plate’s integrity in maintaining suture control and system function.
• In operative practice, the loading tool / retention plate becomes an integral step in suture management. The surgeon places the suture (often a braided #2 or suture tape) into the device, secures it, and then attaches or interfaces it with the suture passer jaws.
