1. An apparatus consisting essentially of:

  • an inner tube having a distal end for pushing and holding suture, a proximal end, a lumen, and an outer surface; and

    an outer tube disposed slidably over the inner tube, the outer tube having a distal end for pushing suture, a proximal end, and a lumen receiving the inner tube,wherein the distal end of the outer tube and the outer surface of the inner tube cooperate to prevent passage of suture between the inner tube and the outer tube when the outer tube is advanced toward the distal end of the inner tube to advance a loop of suture along the outer surface of the inner tube.
