Enhancing Efficiency in Meniscal Repair: A Novel In-House Vacuum Suction Technique for Suture Loading in Long Hollow Needles and Devices
Vacuum suction is a quick, economical, and effective technique for loading sutures into long hollow needles and other devices. It not only drastically reduces loading times but also improves consistency across different users, making it a reliable technique for arthroscopic procedures. This method can potentially be applied to various surgical instruments, improving procedural efficiency and outcomes.
