Surgical sutures

Monofilament suture Multifilament suture The operators choice of suture is most often based on their many years of experience or recommendations from colleagues or universities. It is advisable to critically evaluate the contents of one's surgical inventory, particularly the available sutures. This is not only due to the continuous development of suture types over the years, but also because a streamlined selection of products can offer significant economic benefits. The list of our sutures provides an overview of their properties and indications. Here, you can also benefit from our guidance...

Absorption and healing time In principle, tissue should only be supported by a suture until it has healed. However, the suture often remains in place slightly longer as a precaution. This does not apply to skin closure, where a non-absorbable suture is typically used instead. As these sutures can be easily removed, thEYdo not leave visible tissue reactions. Tissue healing time varies depending on the animal's age and overall health status. The development of wound strength is particularly adversely affected by corticosteroids, cytostatic drugs, certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (during...

We offer high quality Japanese needles made from 300 Fig. 5: series stainless steel. Cutting needles feature a cutting Needle curvatures needle body and a sharp point, making them ideal for penetrating thick and tough tissues, such as skin, fascia, or the linea alba. Needles with a tapered, non-cutting point (round needles) are particularly suitable for the intestine and bladder, where the trauma caused by suturing must be minimal. In comparison to cutting needles, which create a rounded puncture hole, there is no predetermined direction for tissue tearing with round needles. The following criteria...

Absorbable threads Chirasorb rapid braided

Catgut Plain Composition Colour Range Characteristics 4/0 to 6USP Twisted multifilament sutures made of strands of purified Light natural, no collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines. Colour added Absorbable, multifilament, twisted structure, excellent handling and knotting properties, high tensile strength. Complete mass absorption in approximately 63 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. Catgut Chrom Composition Colour Range Characteristics Twisted multifilament sutures made of strands of purified Dark natural, no 4/0 to 6 USP Absorbable, multifilament,...

Chirasorb rapid braided Chirasorb rapid braided is a short-term absorbable, coated, synthetic, multifilament suture made of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The substances contained in the coating and suture are nonantigenic and noncollagenous. Sterile Chirasorb rapid braided is available in violet and natural. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. The product elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues. Progressive loss of tensile strength and absorption of Chirasorb rapid braided occurs by hydrolysis, when the polymer is degraded to glycolic...

Chirlac rapid braided Chirlac rapid braided is a short-term absorbable, coated, synthetic, multifilament suture made of low molecular weight polyglycolic acid. The substances contained in the coating and suture are nonantigenic and noncollagenous. Chirlac rapid braided is available in violet and natural. Progressive loss of tensile strength and absorption of Chirlac rapid braided occurs by hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to glycolic acid, which is subsequently absorbed and metabolised by the body. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. The product...

Monolac monofilament Monolac monofilament is a mid-term absorbable, synthetic suture made of glycolide and £-Caprolactone, available in natural colour for the closure of superficial wounds and in violet for all other indications, when a mid-term monofilament is needed. During absorption the material elicited only a very slight inflammation. The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolised in the body. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, followed by a loss of mass at a later stage. Sizes: Structure: Absorption method: Strength Retention Profile: General...

The substances contained in the coating and suture are nonantigenic and noncollagenous. Sterile Chirasorb braided is available in violet or natural. The product elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues. Progressive loss of tensile strength and absorption of Chirasorb braided occurs by hydrolysis, when the polymer is degraded to glycolic and lactic acids, which are subsequently absorbed and metabolised by the body.
