Profile: Sutures Limited produces a comprehensive range of surgical sutures and ligatures. We produce disposable products for every surgical speciality. Absorbable sutures are manufactured from uniform, twisted strands of collagen. These are packaged in a hydrating fluidcontaining isopropanol and water. Sheathed polyamide 6/6 suture is made up of fine strands of polyamide enclosed in a smooth homogenous coating of the same material. Supramid therefore has the properties of a monofilament whilst combining the advantageous properties of a braided suture. It has better tying qualities and greater flexibility. Braided polyamide 6/6 suture B.P.black is manufactured from braided filaments of polyamide impregnated with special waxes.
