Choose with confidence
Absorbable or non-absorbable?
The single most important call when you switch suture — here is the plain-English version.
Absorbable
Breaks down in the body over time. For internal tissue, ligation, anything you will not remove. Holds strength through the critical healing window, then absorbs cleanly.
Non-absorbable
Stays until removed — skin closure, tendons, anywhere lasting support matters. Reach for a nylon or polypropylene monofilament instead.
Monofilament vs braided
Monofilament glides through tissue with less drag and lower infection risk. Braided handles and knots more easily.
Reading the label
USP size (smaller number = thicker), needle code (FS / PF) and length. Our sizing chart maps every code to its use.
Why it performs
Permanent hold. Minimal reactivity.
Sterile, single-use, lot-traceable · 4–5 year shelf life, never short-dated.
