Gastrointestinal suture FAQs
What products are included in this collection?
The collection brings together Ethicon VICRYL, MONOCRYL, PDS, STRATAFIX, ETHIBOND and MERSILENE families across absorbable, non-absorbable, monofilament, braided, antibacterial and barbed configurations.
Are all products in this collection absorbable?
No. Most currently listed products are absorbable, but selected ETHIBOND EXCEL and MERSILENE non-absorbable braided polyester sutures are also included. Check each product individually.
What is the difference between VICRYL, MONOCRYL and PDS?
They are distinct Ethicon product families based on different absorbable polymers and constructions. Their manufacturer-defined characteristics differ, so the exact family and code must be matched.
What do PLUS and STRATAFIX mean in product titles?
PLUS identifies specified antibacterial products, while STRATAFIX identifies product-specific barbed closure configurations. Verify the complete designation, material, directionality, needle and catalogue code.
How do I identify the correct product code?
Match the brand, material, absorbability, construction, USP size, colour, strand length, complete needle specification and pack quantity before confirming the manufacturer catalogue code.
