Assemblies, devices and methods are provided for suture management associated with surgical procedures for anchoring suture to bone. Suture elements mounted to suture anchors are terminated in suture loops or tags, and associated stop members that in combination with visual coding provide suture identification, prevent accidental unmounting of suture from suture anchors, and reduce the number of suture legs requiring active management during complex arthroscopic repairs. The present invention also provides exemplary drivers that can be used with the various methods and devices disclosed herein, or with other methods and devices known in the art.

Suture management system

The accuracy and temperature-independence of ion-selective electrode meters having a logarithm resistance temperature correction incorporated therein is enhanced by using a microprocessor controlled and measured circuit with switched reference and switched capacitor filter, and by adding a linear membrane resistance term to the algorithm to improve accuracy across a wide temperature range.
