Key Features

  • Maximum tensile strength - stainless steel sutures provide the highest breaking strength available in a surgical suture, ideal for closures under significant mechanical stress.
  • Nonabsorbable and permanent - stainless steel is not degraded by biological processes, maintaining tensile strength indefinitely in tissue.
  • Minimal tissue reactivity - stainless steel is highly biocompatible with minimal inflammatory response, reducing suture-related tissue complications.
  • Monofilament construction - smooth single-strand design reduces bacterial harboring and tissue drag during placement.
  • Sterile and single-use - individually packaged in sterile conditions for immediate clinical use.
  • Cutting Needle Design - the cutting edge reduces insertion force, enabling precise needle placement through tough tissue layers.
