Medical suture material
Product overview
The range of medical sutures includes absorbable and non-absorbable threads in different materials and strengths as well as atraumatic and traumatic needle-thread combinations. Typical product types are monofilament and multifilament threads, surgical needles with different curvatures and tips, special threads for skin, subcutis and deep tissue layers as well as quick sutures and sewing sets for standardized procedures.
- Absorbable/biodegradable suture materials
- Non-absorbable threads (polyester, polypropylene)
- Monofilament vs. multifilament threads
- Atraumatic needles (Swaged) and traumatic needles
- Suture material in various USP strengths and lengths
Areas of application and application situations
Medical sutures are used in a variety of situations: sealing tissue layers after surgical procedures, closing skin wounds, fixing drains or implants, and for primary and secondary wound care. The choice of material depends on the type of tissue, the desired holding time and the risk of infection. Atraumatic needle-thread combinations simplify passage through tissue and reduce tissue trauma, while absorbable threads remain after healing without removal.
Quality, safety and processes
Important criteria are tensile strength, knot security, tissue compatibility and predictability of resorption. Standardized thread sizes, sterile individual packaging and documented batch information support safe processes and reproducible results. Appropriate packaging sizes and clearly labeled product information contribute to efficiency in instrument and material logistics.
Advantages and selection criteria
Selecting the right suture material improves handling, reduces the risk of complications and optimizes the treatment process. Decisive selection parameters are material (e.g. multifilament vs. monofilament), absorption behavior, needle geometry, thread thickness and sterility status.
- Clearly defined absorption times for operation-specific requirements
- High knot security and low tissue irritation
- Sterile, ready-to-use configurations for fast work
- Reliable quality labeling and batch traceability
