Whether you're stocking a surgical suite, an outpatient clinic, or a procedure cart, these products cover the absorbable and non-absorbable needs of soft tissue approximation and ligation, with a range of needle geometries and suture lengths to match the technique at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbsorbable vs. Non-Absorbable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of this range is absorbable, built for internal tissue that heals and no longer needs support once closed. \u003cstrong\u003eCoated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910)\u003c\/strong\u003e from Johnson \u0026amp; Johnson and \u003cstrong\u003ePolysorb (braided polyester)\u003c\/strong\u003e from Cardinal Health both offer predictable tensile strength retention and smooth tissue passage from their coatings - meaning less drag and cleaner knot runs. For situations that call for a permanent hold, the \u003cstrong\u003eSofsilk 2-0 braided silk\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you the handling and knot security surgeons associate with traditional silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching the Needle to the Tissue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedle choice matters as much as the suture itself. You'll find \u003cstrong\u003ereverse cutting needles\u003c\/strong\u003e (13 mm and 19 mm, 3\/8 circle) suited to tough, dense tissue like skin and fascia, and \u003cstrong\u003etaper point needles\u003c\/strong\u003e (26 mm to 48 mm, 1\/2 circle) that spread rather than cut - ideal for delicate soft tissue, bowel, and muscle where minimizing trauma is the goal. Double-armed spatula needles in the smaller sizes serve ophthalmic and fine work. Suture lengths run from 8 to 36 inches, and both undyed and violet options are available so you can choose visibility to match the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelect by needle type, circle, size, and absorption profile to keep the right closure materials on hand for every case in your practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/raid.oembed","provider":"Honest Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
