Abstract

A knotter, including: a driving structure; a punching and shearing clip, a clip mouth of the punching and shearing clip having a first position in an open state, and a second position in a punching state when driven by the driving structure; and scissor having a first position in an open state when driven by the driving structure, and a second position in a shearing state when driven by the driving structure. The second position of the scissor is synchronized with the second position of the punching and shearing clip. The disclosure effectively solves the problem that the shearing knife of the knotter in the related art is unstable when cutting the suture line.
