Chirafix – Knotless Wound Closure Device
Chirafix – Knotless Wound Closure Device
CHIRAFIX® is a knotless wound closure device featuring a long-term absorbable barbed suture made of Polydioxanone (PDO). It is designed to enhance surgical efficiency by reducing operating times and improving tissue closure stability.
The suture maintains tensile strength of 85-89% after 2 weeks, 70-75% after 4 weeks, and 40-47% after 6 weeks, with complete absorption occurring between 180-210 days. The product is available in various needle types and sizes, all featuring a violet color for easy identification.
- Premium Needle: Offers ease of repeated use due to lasting sharpness and excellent penetration, with high resistance to bending.
- Stopper Security: Provides stable fixation exceeding USP standards, contributing to shorter surgical operation times.
- Barbing Pattern Efficiency: Ensures excellent tissue closure with strength comparable to standard sutures.
- Penetration Test: Demonstrates lower resistance compared to other products, allowing for repeated use.
- Bending Test: Shows superior resistance to bending, maintaining shape even when used on hard tissue.
- Barb Holding Strength Test: Confirms stable wound fixation with excellent tissue closure intensity.
- Stopper Attachment Force Test: Exceeds USP standards, eliminating the need for knot tying and loop fixation.
- Linear Strength Test: Exceeds USP standard intensity, ensuring the same wound closure safety level as standard sutures.
CHIRAFIX® is suitable for various specialties, procedures, and tissue types in human, veterinary, and dental markets. It is particularly beneficial in reducing surgical closure time, as evidenced by a 34% reduction in operation time during laparoscopic myomectomy.
Chirmax Surgical offers a wide range of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures, special needle products, and surgical meshes for permanent repair of abdominal wall hernias and support of prolapsed organs.
