ABSTRACT:
Surgical sutures are wound from a needled end on a printed reel-label. The reel-label is made from sealed together thicknesses of stiff inert sterilizable label stock, with an aperture which acts as a rotable axis to permit holding between a finger and thumb for unwinding. The needle is held in a pocket between the thicknesses with the armed portions of the needle protected. The friction between the thicknesses and the suture permits retention of the suture during storage and unwinding from the needled end. The suture reel assembly is stored in a sterile envelope which may be completely dry. The package protects the suture from kinks during storage, and protects the suture from the needle and the package from the needle. It permits unwinding from either end without tangling.
