摘要：
A stabilization device (300) for contactless stabilization of a suture thread in a region of the suture thread (304). The stabilization device comprises: a source of pressurized fluid (334)； and a fluid outlet (320)connected to the source of pressurized fluid and adapted to generate a laminar flow of fluid along the suture thread and surrounding the suture thread in the region of the suture thread. Once stabilised a laser is used to create retaining features on the suture. The stabilization device also comprises: a fluid manifold wherein the fluid manifold is connected to the source of pressurized fluid and the fluid outlet is connected to one end of the fluid manifold； a suture inlet connected to the fluid manifold. The stabilization device is configured such that a suture thread can enter the fluid manifold through an entry port and leave the fluid manifold through the fluid outlet without contacting the entry port and fluid outlet.
