Not all products are available in all markets. Please contact us to find out what’s available in your region.
Non-absorbable sutures
Non-absorbable sutures are designed for lasting tissue approximation and support in surgical procedures. These sutures include Silk, known for its smoothness and tensile strength; Esteron, a durable material; Tylon, noted for its robustness; and Ecolene mini long pack, both recognized for their stability and minimal tissue reaction. Brilon is valued for its high tensile strength and resistance to infection. These sutures are essential for surgeries requiring long-term support, ensuring effective healing and patient safety.
Available in:
• Silk • Esteron
• Tylon • Ecolene mini long pack • Brilon
Natural absorbable sutures
Natural absorbable sutures include Catgut Chrom and Catgut Plain. Catgut Chrom is treated with chromic acid salts to prolong its absorption time and enhance tensile strength, making it suitable for use in tissues that heal slowly. Catgut Plain, on the other hand, absorbs faster and is ideal for quickly healing tissues. Both types of sutures are used where temporary wound support is needed until the tissues naturally heal and can withstand normal stress without support.
• Catgut chrom
• Catgut plain
Synthetic absorbable sutures
Synthetic absorbable sutures, specifically Ecosyn, Ecosorb, Ecosorb Fast, and Ultisorb represent advanced options for tissue approximation and wound healing. Ecosyn is engineered for reliability and strength, suitable for general soft tissue approximation. Ecosorb offers a moderate absorption rate, ideal for tissues that heal moderately quickly. Ecosorb Fast is designed for rapid absorption, making it perfect for tissues that heal quickly and require shorter support. Ultisorb, on the other hand, is tailored for extended support, slowly breaking down to match the healing timeline of more slowly healing tissues.
