Vital Sutures products

It is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament surgical suture of excellent elasticity, easy passage through tissue and high tensile strength, which produces almost no tissue reaction. This is a thread with great tendency to return to its original state (memory), so it is necessary to apply more knots than braided sutures. It becomes flexible in contact with liquids. It is the non-absorbable material of choice for plastic surgery, nerve repair, vascular surgery, etc.

Twisted Linen is a non absorbable surgical suture of vegetable origin and twisted multifilament structure. Although it causes significant tissue reaction, shows no uniform diameter and gauge in its manufacturing and is very easy to humidify, it has very good security in the knots and high tensile strength. This suture’s strands are not reabsorbed, but over time they’re encapsulated by tissue and lose 50% of its strength over a period of 6-9 months.

Black Braided Silk is a non absorbable multifilament surgical suture of animal origin, and has a silicone coating which limits the absorption and minimizes tissue reaction. This absorbable suture is composed of natural protein fiber produced by the silkworm. Its ease of handling admits twisting and braiding. Silk threads are treated with waxes and / or silicone to reduce its capillarity, and are stained black to promote their visibility.
