Absorbable Sutures

Surgical Precision and Ergonomics in Hand Instruments The selection of high-quality hand instruments, such as retractors, forceps, and needle holders, is critical to successful surgical execution. Modern instruments are fabricated from premium-grade stainless steel, designed not only for durability but also for optimal weight and balance, significantly minimizing surgeon fatigue during lengthy and complex cases. Retractors are engineered in various shapes and sizes—including self-retaining models—to provide consistent, atraumatic tissue exposure, which is vital for maintaining a clear surgical field. Needle holders incorporate specialized jaw inserts, often with tungsten carbide, to ensure a non-slip grip on fine suture needles, thereby enhancing knot-tying precision and security. The design of these essential tools directly impacts the surgeon's ability to perform delicate manipulations, upholding the standard of care in every procedure.

Polydioxanone (PDO) Sutures​

Extended Strength for Secure Long-Term Healing​

  • Long-Lasting Support: Maintains tensile strength for over 6 weeks — ideal for tissues needing slow, secure healing.​
  • Tissue-Friendly: Minimal inflammatory response, promoting smoother recovery.​
  • No Residue: Fully absorbed without foreign body remnants.​
  • Smooth Passage: Monofilament design reduces tissue drag.​
  • Durable: Stable in alkaline environments like bile and pancreatic secretions.​

Recommended for: Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, orthopaedic, and pediatric surgeries.

Fast-Absorbing Sutures​

Quick Healing for Superficial Wounds​

  • Rapid Absorption: Optimised for tissues requiring short-term wound support.​
  • Superior Handling: Braided PGA material ensures flexibility and easy knot security.​
  • Gentle Recovery: Minimal tissue reaction, excellent for delicate areas like skin and mucosa.​

Recommended for: Skin closure, oral surgery, and minor soft tissue repairs.

Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) sutures​

Soft, Strong, and Reliable for a Wide Range of Surgeries​​

  • Strong Yet Smooth: Braided 100% synthetic PGA offers a balance of strength and suppleness.​​
  • Needle Excellence: Made with 300-series stainless steel and advanced micro-silicon coating for minimal penetration force.​​
  • Predictable Absorption: Stable performance for secure wound support.​​

Recommended for: General surgery, gastrointestinal, and gynecologic procedures.

Polyglactin 910 (PGLA) sutures​

Absorbable PGLA suture with triclosan antibacterial coating​

  • Broad-spectrum antibacterial: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria(e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria(e.g., Escherichia coli).​
  • Reduces risk of surgical site infection: Multiple studies have proven that antibacterial sutures can effectively reduce the incidence of surgical site infections, and are supported by global clinical guidelines (WHO, CDC, ACS/SIS) as part of surgical site infection prevention strategies

Recommended for: General surgery, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology.​
