Suture Material
Absorbable suture material is used if there is a medical indication for the suture to be absorbed into the tissues. The half-life has become the established criterion for distinguishing between absorbable suture materials. Depending on the indication, we can supply sutures in many different sizes, which are absorbed in the short-, medium- and long-term.
