So it’s been two weeks since I had a torn tendon repaired on the top of my elbow. I call it Timmy James surgery. It’s for husbands who over contribute in the household and tear their tendon. Wife doesn’t buy it.

Anyway, sutures come out tomorrow. I got curious and removed the steristrips only to find what looked like two pieces of blue monofilament sticking out of the area at separate ends of the incision. No knots or anything the many stitches I have had in the past. To make things more interesting, when I gently pull on one end, the other moves!

So my question is, what is this type of suture called? My doctor says the just pull on one end and the other end slides right out.

Thanks
