Suture Features

(1)     Perfect combination of new high-tech material and patented coating technique.

(2)     Artificial compound absorbable suture with polyglycolic acid(PGA), which is of high security and good efficiency in curing wound with minor tissue reaction.

(3)     Multistranded close weaving technique is adopted to reduce breaking possibility. Its tensile strength is far superior to that of silk suture and surgical catgut, and its maintenance duration is much longer than 5-8 days necessary for wound healing, which provides reliabillity for both doctors and patients.

(4)     Tension is generally reserved over 70% for one week, over 55% for two weeks and over 40% for four weeks.

(5)     Safe and reliable absorption, simple hydrolysis process, minor reaction with neighbouring tissues. It will be absorbed from the 15th day after tissue implantation, absorbed mostly in 30 days, absorbed completely in 60-90 days, and the absorption process is stable and predictable.

(6)     Its catabolites can restrain bacteria growth to better the wound healing.

(7)     There is patented lubricating coating on the suture surface to make the suture smoother and stronger penetration into tissue.

(8)     The suture is soft, and easy for doctors to secure knot location with no abrasion.

Needle Features

(1)     It adopts the patented stainless steel alloy with characteristics of great anti-bending strength, good elasticity and excellent corrosion resistance.

(2)     The needle is sharp and of airflow design, which make the needle penetrate the tissue much more easily.

(3)     The needle end adopts laser drilling technique, which helps the needle and suture connect smoothly, and ensures the minimum damage to the tissue.
