Suture clip suitable for use on monofilament sutures

A method for anchoring a suture comprising:

• placing a suture in a passage within a suture clip body having a central longitudinal axis, a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, an outer surface, a proximal surface, and projecting from said proximal end is a shoulder, wherein the inner surface forms the passage that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and connected to the outer surface by a longitudinal slot which extends from the distal end to the proximal end of the suture clip body, the passage being suitable for placing a suture having a diameter therein, and the proximal surface has a major dimension at least five times larger than the diameter of said suture;
• then
• securing said suture in the suture clip body by engaging a collar about said suture clip body, which engages the outer surface of the suture clip body to deflect the inner surface to frictionally engaging the suture wherein the shoulder is a means for preventing the collar from traveling past the proximal end of the suture clip.
