self-made, reusable suture loop with a commonly available stainless-steel wire loop.
Materials and Method: We used 0.8 mm, 1.5mm and 2mm diameter size stainless steel wires to make
suture loop with simple general instruments
Results: Performed surgeries such as hip replacements capsule suturing, coracoclavicular ligament and
acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction, trans calcaneal suture passage for tendo Achilles repair. Suture
passage is much easier, quicker and very economical.
