Advanced Barbed Suture Technology

STRATAFIX™ Symmetric PDS Plus sutures feature a barbed design that allows for secure tissue approximation without the need for traditional knots. This can help reduce operative time while maintaining consistent wound tension distribution across the closure line.

Extended Absorbable Support with Antibacterial Protection

Constructed from polydioxanone, this suture provides long-lasting absorbable support as it gradually breaks down over several months. The addition of triclosan offers antibacterial protection, helping reduce bacterial colonization at the suture site during healing.

CTX Taper Point Needle for Smooth Tissue Passage

This configuration includes a CTX 48 mm taper point needle designed for atraumatic passage through soft tissue. The taper point geometry allows for smooth penetration with reduced tissue disruption, supporting controlled closure in deeper or stronger tissue layers.

Clinical Applications

• General soft tissue closure
• Fascial and abdominal wall closure
• Orthopedic and reconstructive procedures
• Procedures requiring long-term absorbable support
• Operative closures where efficiency is critical
