Method and apparatus for loading suture

A suture device loader comprising:

• a body having a device space;
• and
• a suture moveable from a suture first position to a suture second position,
• wherein when the suture is in the suture first position, a suture device is positionable in the device space,
• wherein when the suture device is positioned in the device space, the suture is moveable from the suture first position to the suture second position, and
• wherein more of the suture is in the suture device when the suture is in the suture second position than when the suture is in the suture first position.

A method of loading a suture device, comprising:

• removably attaching the suture device to a loader, wherein the loader has a loader control, a suture, and a shuttle;
• and
• loading, via the loader control, the shuttle and the suture into the suture device,
• wherein loading comprises moving, via the loader control, the shuttle and the suture from a non-loaded configuration to a loaded configuration by moving the loader control from a loader control first position to a loader control second position, wherein when the loader control is in the loader control first position, the shuttle and the suture are in the non-loaded configuration, and wherein when the loader control is in the loader control second position, the shuttle and the suture are in the loaded configuration.
