This invention also relates to a method of coiling surgical sutures. According to this invention, the dispenser (1) comprises first and second panels (2,3) joined to each other so as to retain, in a central position, a needle (5) secured to an end of a suture (4), characterized in that the free end of the suture (4) is fixed in co-operation with at least one of the panels (2,3), in a position away from the needle (5). Further according to the invention, a coiling method is provided for coiling a surgical suture (4) in a dispenser (1) substantially as defined in claim 1, characterized by comprising a step of pulling the free end of the suture (4) in a direction away from the first panel (2). |
