Expresso suture passer?
Subject: Expresso suture passer?
I'm transcribing an op note on repair of a rotator cuff, and the doc says:
The Expresso instrument was used to place a suture from the anterior region of the tear to the posterior flap, and then a slipknot was tied, which brought the edges together.
I've never heard of this Expresso instrument. Can anyone help me document this term?

Endo-Judge
Subject: Endo-Judge
Does anyone know if 'Endo-Judge' is a legitimate surgical tool? Doctors where I work have dictated it and it shows up in many reports usually for cholecystectomy but I cannot find any evidence that there is such a thing. I know there is Endo GIA but I don't want to put that if it is wrong and there is indeed an Endo-Judge. Thanks for any help you can give me!
