ABSTRACT:
A suture management system useful in endoscopic surgery, particularly in arthroscopic instability and rotator cuff procedures comprises a plurality of elongated tubes, sometimes referred to herein as suture organizers. The tubes can have a suture loop through them to ensnare matching suture ends of a given suture so that the tube can be slid down over the matching suture ends and into a cannula. The tube with the matched suture ends can be clamped over the suture strands to fixate the tube as another suture is manipulated through the tissue and then in turn has its matching suture ends pulled through another tube for subsequent tie-off. A rack is provided to hold the tubes with loops therein before use.
