A continuous suture passer device (10) may include a first jaw (20) and a second jaw (21 ); an actuator (15) including a jaw control which may manipulate at least one jaw; a tissue penetrator (50) which may be configured to form a pathway through a tissue which may be positioned between the first and second jaws (20 and 21) through which a suture shuttle (70) may be passed, wherein the suture shuttle (70) may be releasably secured to the tissue penetrator (50); and a suture shuttle retainer seat (25) connected to the second jaw (21) and which may be configured to releasably secure the suture shuttle (70) so that the suture shuttle (70) may be passed between the first and second jaws (20 and 21). A method for passing a suture (90) through tissue includes manipulation to transfer a suture shuttle (70) with a suture.
