ABSTRACT:
A suture organizer 10 comprises a flat, platelike member 24 having a rank of fingerlike projections 28 extending from an upper surface 27 thereof. A layer of adhesive 32 is provided on a lower surface 30 of the platelike member 24 in order to adhere to a surgical drape 16 or sheet near the vicinity of a surgical incision 20. Sutures 18 are received in valleys 29 defined by the projections 28 thereby minimizing entanglement of the sutures after surgical attachment but prior to tying and cutting.
