Surgical Sutures – Absorbable threads

The choice of needle to be used must rest with the surgeon and may take into account several factors such as the requirements of the specific procedure, the nature of the tissue to be sutured, the accessibility of the surgical area and the preferred techniques of each individual surgeon. Vitrex surgical sutures are manufactured in a wide range of types, shapes, lengths and diameters to cover even the most demanding requirements.
