Knotless Barbed Suture

Surgical Sutures are a cornerstone of Wound Closure Solutions, yet for rapid and consistent tissue management in complex internal procedures, Innovations in Powered and Articulating Surgical Stapling are indispensable. Surgical stapling technology has evolved from manual devices to advanced powered and articulating platforms that provide unparalleled consistency and control in tissue management. Modern staplers are designed for single-handed operation, delivering immediate feedback to the surgeon and ensuring a uniform staple formation, which is a key factor in preventing anastomotic leaks. Features like the 90° articulation and slim anvil profile allow unprecedented access into deep and confined anatomical spaces—crucial for procedures in colorectal and thoracic surgery. Furthermore, staplers now often utilize diverse cartridge options with varying staple heights and material thicknesses to accommodate a wide spectrum of tissue viability and compression requirements, dramatically improving surgical versatility and long-term patient outcomes.

Polydioxanone (PDO) Knotless Barbed Sutures with Black Needle

Suturing without knotting

  • Efficiency: The triangular flap design enables smooth tissue closure, reducing tissue damage and shortening suturing time​
  • Stability: Evenly spaced barbs anchor securely in the tissue, providing consistent tension and secure wound closure.​
  • Enhanced visibility: The blackened needle minimises glare and reflection under surgical lighting, reducing eye fatigue. Its high contrast against blood improves visibility, which is particularly beneficial in endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures.​

Sanaloc™ PLUS Antibacterial Compressed Knotless Barbed Sutures​

Faster closure with antibacterial coating​

  • Efficiency: Unidirectional barbs and a fixation tab enable a secured tissue closure without the need for surgical knots, allowing for faster and smoother wound closure in the OR.​
  • Reliable: Barbs are evenly spaced to distribute tension evenly, ensuring a stable wound closure throughout the healing process​.
  • Reduces risk of surgical site infection: Multiple studies have demonstrated 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.
