What products are included in this collection?
The collection brings together absorbable and non-absorbable surgical sutures across multiple material families, constructions, sizes, needle configurations and brands for professional purchasing.

Match the named needle code, point type, diameter, curvature, length and single- or double-armed configuration against the original purchasing requirement.
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.
