What products are included in this collection?
The collection brings together Ethicon VICRYL, MONOCRYL, PDS and STRATAFIX families for obstetric and gynaecological purchasing across absorbable monofilament, braided, antibacterial, barbed, needled and non-needled configurations.
Are all currently listed OB/GYN sutures absorbable?
Yes. The currently listed VICRYL, MONOCRYL, PDS and STRATAFIX products are absorbable-family sutures. Confirm the individual manufacturer specification and current IFU.
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?
