Suture storage devices, systems, and methods

A suture management card, comprising:

• a first end and a second end defining a length of the card, the first end being configured to hold open a collapsible loop of a suture;
• first and second sidewalls extending between the first and second ends and defining a width of the card;
• first and second surfaces defining a thickness of the card;
• and
• a slot formed in the card and disposed between the first and second ends, the slot having a first portion that extends from the first sidewall toward the second sidewall, a second portion adjacent to and in communication with the first portion, the second portion being substantially V-shaped with a vertex facing the first end, and a third portion adjacent to and in communication with the second portion, the third portion being substantially parallel to at least one of the first and second ends,
• wherein the first portion of the slot extends toward the second end a distance beyond a start of the second portion to form a catch slot.

A suture management card, comprising:

• a first end and a second end defining a length of the card along a longitudinal axis of the card, the first end being configured to hold open a collapsible loop of a suture;
• first and second sidewalls extending between the first and second ends and defining a width of the card;
• first and second surfaces defining a thickness of the card;
• and
• a slot formed in the card, extending from the first sidewall toward the second sidewall and disposed between the first and second ends, the slot having two paths,
• wherein the first path extends toward the second sidewall and is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the card,
• wherein the second path extends toward the second sidewall and forms an oblique angle with respect to the first path, and
• wherein a portion of the second path forms a V-shape with a vertex facing the first end, and the second path further includes a substantially straight portion after the portion of the second path forms the V-shape, the substantially straight portion being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the card and is substantially collinear with the first path.
