A method of forming a suture tape assembly (18) having a visually distinguishable midpoint (20) includes weaving a longitudinally central portion of a length of round suture material (12) together with other strands of material to form a length of suture tape (14). This suture tape has a longitudinal first end and a longitudinal second end, and the length of round suture (12) material extends from both the first end and second end. Next, a center part of the length of the round suture material (12) is grasped and pulled outwardly from the suture tape, to form a partial loop extending outwardly from the suture tape. This partial loop is cut from the suture tape, thereby leaving a longitudinally medial segment (20) of the suture tape without the round suture material (12), and thereby being made visibly distinguishable from neighboring suture tape, which includes the round suture material. |
