A type of surgery needle (ortho.) - (sm)

Subject: A type of surgery needle (ortho.) - (sm)

Here's the sentence: 


 "The tendon was sewn over a button on the heel using a s/l 'teeth' needle."  (Or Teef needle?)  


It sounds clear, but I can't find anything close on Google or in Stedman's.  Any ideas what this needle might be?

Trying to figure out how to type this ---- ortho surgery with Synthes LCP plate.  Says "number two five" Mersilene tape..... Would that be #25?  That doesn't seem right to me and I saw that another MT typed it as "two #5" Mersilene tape.  Not sure if dictator said it wrong in my report-- appreciate any input.

Subject: I think this is the type of incision used in Head and Neck Surgery. see inside

Schobinger 1957-(fig 3a and 3b) Higher horizontal incision allows easier access to oral cavity and
various modifications for posterior vertical limb.
Shorter superior flap allows midline lip splitting extension with less likelihood of loss of tip (Becker 1984, fig 3c)

Also found:

Surgical treatment of many tumors of the head and neck require extended approaches. Many cervicotomies have been described in the treatment of head and neck and cervical tumors; careful thought must be made by a surgeon when surgical treatment is planned for an extended tumor.Our purpose is to show the versatility of the modified Schobinger incision.
