natural absorbable sutures made from the finest quality sterilised catgut, spun and polished into a uniform near monofilament-like strand, allowing ease of passage through tissue and excellent knot security. - [click here for product range]
natural absorbable sutures made from the finest quality sterilised catgut, but in addition are treated with a chromium salt solution which retards the absorption rate resulting in longer wound support. Available in a wide variety of needle size and thread gauge combinations. - [click here for product range]
synthetic absorbable braided sutures made from a polymer of Glycolic acid, has a high tensile strength and predictabale absorption rate, allowing wound support for approximately 21 days. Not affected by infection, inflammatory processes or exposure to protein digesting enzymes. Suitable for both skin closure and where non-permanent wound support is indicated. - [click here for product range]
is a new generation synthetic monofilament non-absorbable suture, inert, very smooth and as it has virtually no memory, it is ideal for skin closure as well as vascular and orthopaedic surgery. - [click here for product range]
non-absorbable sutures are made from pure natural silk, braided to form a multifilament thread, double treated with a silicone coating to prevent capillarity and to enhance ease of passage through tissue. - [click here for product range]
non-absorbable synthetic monofilament sutures are made from Polyamide 6,6, has no tissue reaction and has excellent tensile strength and handling characteristics - [click here for product range]
non-absorbable sutures are made from single strands of pure Polyester, braided to form a thread. It is unaffected by body fluids and due to the silicone treatment reduces capillarity. Ideal for cardiac surgery. - [click here for product range]
is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made from a copolymer of L-Lactide and E-Caprolactone. This material is inert, non collogeneous, non antigenic and non pyrogenic. CliniSolv has a high tensile strength and a predictable absorption rate. Loss of initial strength is approximately 50% after 56 days. It is treated with a surface coating to ensure smooth tissue passage and enhance knot sliding. CliniSolv is not affected by infection, inflammatory process or exposure to protein digesting enzymes in the gastro-intestinal tract. CliniSolv is suitable where non-permanent wound support is indicated. - [click here for product range]
non-absorbable sutures are made from Polypropylene which is a synthetic monofilament, produced from a Linear Hydrocarbon Polymer. It is a smooth suture with minimal tissue drag and due to its high ability to remain flexible and its tensile strength and inertness it is the ideal suture for cardiovascular work where indefinite wound support is needed. - [click here for product range]
sutures are non absorbable sutures manufactured from long staple flax fibres which have been twisted together. They are packaged dry, but gain a substantial and immediate increase in strength if wetted before use. Intended uses of Clinilin sutures are G.I. Anastamosis, hernia repair and tonsilectomies. - [click here for product range]
