Vital Sutures products

BioMesh Light Plus : surgical mesh constituted by low-density polypropylene monofilaments. Very flexible and easy to handle in comparison to other non-absorbable meshes. BioMesh Light Plus low-density polypropylene mesh is able to maintain a high tensile strength at the tissue level since they are non-absorbable and its structure also benefit the adherence to the tissues. This makes it the surgical mesh most used in the definitive treatment of parietal defects.

BioMesh : surgical mesh constituted by polypropylene monofilaments; sterile synthetic material, strength similar to steel, low density, considerable stability and durability in contact with tissues. BioMesh is a polypropylene mesh designed for permanent implantation in the body during open or laparoscopic procedures, and has the role of stabilize and strengthen defects of soft tissues, and act as a sling to support prolapsed organs and viscera.

BioMesh Ultra: the new BioMesh Ultra Surgical Meshes are made of polypropylene strands (non-absorbable material) and PGA – polyglycolic acid plus PCL – Polycaprolactone (absorbable material). With the absorption of polyglycolic acid through the hydrolysis process carried out by the body, there remains the polypropylene mesh whose structure is designed to absorb physiological stresses. This degradation of PGA – PCL makes that at the end of the hydrolysis process the mesh is the lightest on the market and with a good resistance to tension (32Kgf).

Chromic Catgut: absorbable suture of natural origin, with a composition of 97 to 98% pure collagen obtained from the intestinal mucous of sheep (ovine) and the intestinal serous of beef (bovine). The threads are treated with chromic salts to enhance its resistance to tissue liquid enzymes, giving a coating that extend its integrity and absorption time, developing a proper healing. This suture has a tensile strength that maintains from 14 to 21 days.

Antibacterial Polyglycolic Acid: synthetic absorbable sutures coated by a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, which creates an effective inhibition zone against pathogen agents frequently causing surgical site infections. These type of sutures have the same behavior than the regular synthetic absorbable sutures, having a composite plastic coated polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate coating Triclosan.
