Frequently Asked Questions
What types of medical sutures do you supply?
▼
We offer a comprehensive selection of sutures including absorbable and non-absorbable options. Our range features popular materials such as Monocryl, Vicryl Rapide, and Mersilk to accommodate different wound closure requirements and tissue types. All by brands like Teqler, and Instrapac - who are recognised for producing high-quality surgical threads and needles that offer excellent tensile strength and knot security.
What is the difference between absorbable and non-absorbable sutures?
▼
Absorbable sutures like Vicryl are designed to be broken down by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. Non-absorbable sutures like Mersilk maintain their tensile strength indefinitely and are typically removed once the wound has sufficiently healed.
Do you provide complete suture packs?
▼
Yes, we stock various sterile suture packs from brands like Instrapac and Vernacare. These packs typically contain essential components such as needle holders, forceps, scissors, and gauze to ensure a sterile and efficient procedure.
Do you sell suture removal kits?
▼
We supply a variety of sterile suture removal kits and packs. These kits are designed for safe and hygienic removal and often include specialised suture scissors and forceps to minimise tissue trauma during the process.
