Suture Supply Co Knowledge Hub
Ophthalmic sutures are ultra-fine microsurgical sutures designed for delicate eye surgery procedures requiring exceptional precision, minimal tissue trauma and controlled tissue approximation. Frequently used in corneal surgery, ophthalmic repair, retinal procedures and microsurgical ocular closure, ophthalmic sutures commonly involve fine monofilament materials and precision microsurgical needles.
