Suture storage devices, systems, and methods

摘要

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for managing suture filaments when performing soft tissue repair. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical suture management device is in the form of a suture loop management card (10). The card (10) can generally be configured to hold open a collapsible loop of suture (52) until a force applied to the loop is greater than a threshold tension. The card can include a number of different features that help to keep the loop open until the threshold tension is achieved, including features designed to prevent the filament from being mistakenly offloaded. The card can be configured to be removably inserted into a handle (90) of an inserter tool (80) for use as a surgical tissue repair system. Other devices, systems, and methods for performing soft tissue repair are also provided.
