ABSTRACT:
A plurality of organizers each formed with an arcuate support member upon which a selected number of suture holding devices are positioned in spaced relationship one to the other, are each designed to be disposed proximate an area of a body upon which surgery is to be performed to faciliate speedy and orderly control of interrupted sutures and needles utilized during the surgical procedure. Each holding device includes a pair of spaced wall members and a resilient holding member disposed in compression therebetween in such a manner that sutures can be releasably held between the resilient member and the adjacent wall member surface. Additional valuable time for surgical procedures involving insertion of artificial heart valves can be saved by utilizing a heart valve holder having a plurality of circumferentially spaced legs, to which an artificial heart valve can be releasably held by sutures. The legs which depend from an internally threaded holder formed for co-action with a rod slidably positioned in a holding disk which carries spring clips about its circumferential edge for releasable coaction with the sutures utilized to secure the valve in place.
