SutureTag Suture

The SutureTag looping stitch creates a running ripstop to reinforce the tendon with minimal passes through the tissue. This novel stitch is lower profile, faster to complete, and stronger than a typical Krackow repair stitch. The SutureTag splits into two #2 sutures that can be easily incorporated into the FiberTak button repair technique.1
