English term or phrase: Monofilament trailing suture (in a stent)

Estoy traduciendo la descripción de un stent cola de cochino doble. Sé que se refiere a sutura de microfilamentos no absorbible, pero me falta saber a qué se refiere el término "trailing" en este contexto.

A non-absorbable monofilament trailing suture is provided in the distal curl to assist the physician in stent placement and positioning.

Spanish translation:sutura directriz/guía posterior

Explanation:
Hola, Tradeesse. Estaba mirándome las preguntas por responder y he visto la tuya. En cirugía hay lo que se llama la "leading suture" y la "trailing suture", que en este caso son las suturas que se utilizan para orientar el stent.

Como tienen esta función, se las conoce como suturas guía o suturas directriz - anterior y posterior, respectivamente.
