21 CHIRLAC rapid

22 CHIRLAC rapid UK CHIRLAC rapid is a short-term absorbable, coated, synthetic, multifilament suture made of low molecular weight polyglycolic acid. Sterile CHIRLAC Rapid is available in violet and natural. Progressive loss of tensile strength and absorption of Chirlac rapid occurs by hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to glycolic acid, which is subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the body. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. Indication: Gynaecology, Obstetric (e.g. episiotomies), Ophthalmic (e.g. conjunctiva), Odontology (e.g. oral mucosa), Paediatric, ENT, Skin Closure (e.g. intracutaneous, subcutaneous) and Ligation. Absorbable - Chirlac rapid Sizes: 6/ to USP Coating: Polycaprolactone + Calcium Stearate Structure: Multifilament Absorption method: Hydrolysis Strength Retention Profile: SHORT-TERM HEALING ( days) Day % 5 Days 6% - Days % Mass Absorption profile: days

32 FANEBLAD MONOLAC

33 MONOLAC UK MONOLAC is a mid-term absorbable, synthetic, monofilament suture made of glycolide and ε-caprolactone, available in natural color for the closure of superficial wounds and in violet for all other indications, when a mid-term monofilament is needed. During absorption the material elicited only a very slight inflammation. The material is degraded into adipic acid, which is completely metabolized in the body. The process begins with a loss of tensile strength, later the loss of mass follows. Absorbable - Monolac Indication: Soft tissue in all specialties, Skin Closure (e.g. intracutaneous, subcutaneous), Ligation, Gynaecology, Obstetric, Urology, ENT, Maxillofacial, Paediatric and Gastrointestinal surgery.

41 FANEBLAD faneblad CHIRASORB

42 CHIRASORB UK CHIRASORB is a mid-term absorbable, coated, synthetic, multifilament suture made of 9% glycolide and % L-lactide. The substances contained in the coating and suture are nonantigenic and noncollagenous. Sterile Chirasorb is available in violet or natural. The product elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues. Progressive loss of tensile strength and absorption of Chirasorb occurs by hydrolysis, when the polymer is degraded to glycolic and lactic acids, which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the body. Absorbable - Chirasorb Indication: General surgery, Gynaecology, Obstetric, Urology, Orthopaedic, Ophthalmic, Skin Closure (e.g. intracutaneous, subcutaneous), Muscular layer, Ligation and Gastrointestinal surgery.

79 POLYDOX

80 POLYDOX UK POLYDOX is a long-term absorbable, synthetic, monofilament suture made of polydioxanone. The suture offers good handling combined with great strength due to its slow degradation profile. Polydox is ideal for all indications, where an extended wound support of more than weeks is desirable. The threads are available in violet and natural. The suture is very flexible, pliable and easy to knot. In tissue the thread indicates a slight initial inflammatory reaction. Absorbable - Polydox Indication: Abdominal Wall Closure, Orthopaedic (e.g. joint capsule, tendons), Paediatric, Cardiovascular and General surgery. Sizes: 7/ to USP Coating: Uncoated Structure: Monofilament Absorption method: Hydrolysis Strength Retention Profile: LONG-TERM HEALING (9-98 days) Day % 5 Days 5% Mass Absorption profile: 8 - days

92 Chiralen CHIRALEN

93 CHIRALEN UK CHIRALEN is a non absorbable, monofilament suture made from polypropylene. The thread is hydrophobic and is not subject to degradation by tissue enzymes. Chiralen has a smooth, non porous surface, that guarantees a clean and smooth passage through the tissue, optimal elasticity, elongation properties and great visibility. In tissues it has a minimal acute inflammatory reaction. The thread shows no capillary effect and is therefore especially suited for stitches in infected wounds. Indication: All surgical specialties, especially Cardiovascular, Plastic, Reconstructive, Microsurgery, Skin Closure, Orthopaedic and Traumatology (e.g. tendons).

103 Silon monofilament SILON MONOFILAMENT

104 SILON monofilament UK SILON monofilament is a non absorbable, synthetic suture made from polyamide, which has a smooth non porous surface. The thread is extremely useful for skin sutures and has a high tensile strength in knots and knots tie down easily. The thread is available in a blue and black color. Slight initial inflammatory tissue reaction to a foreign body. As with any nylon suture, though not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the suture may result in gradual loss of its tensile strength over time. Indication: Chemical Composition: Skin Closure (e.g. intracutaneous, subcutaneous), Plastic, Reconstructive and Ophthalmic surgery.

112 Tervalon TERVALON

113 TERVALON UK TERVALON is a braided, polyester suture material with a special coating of ethyl cellulose and beeswax, which guarantees effortless tissue passage and excellent knot tying characteristics. The extreme tensile strength and tissue compatibility are further positive characteristics of Tervalon, which is used in all areas of surgery due to its favourable features. Tervalon is applicable wherever non-absorbability and low friction passage through tissues are needed. Suture elicits a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Non- absorbable - Tervalon Indication: Cardiovascular, Tendons, Plastic and Reconstructive surgery.

128 Silk SILK

129 SILK UK SILK is a natural and non absorbable, multifilament suture material. To give Silk a certain stiffness a special technology is applied. The braided suture is stiffened by inserting a twisted stem from the same material. The Silk is coated with silicone to achieve water resistance and avoid its high capillary effect. Silk is characterised by its constant thread diameter and high tensile strength. The advantages of Silk sutures are their extreme pliability, ease of handling and excellent knot strength. Non- absorbable - Silk Indication: General surgery, Gastrointestinal tract, Skin Surgery, Oral Surgery, Neurosurgery and Ligation. Chemical Composition: silk Sizes: 8/ to 5 USP Coating: Silicone Structure: Multifilament Absorption method: Non-absorbable Color: Black and

153 Meshes MESHES

154 Surgical Meshes Meshes have become standard for repair of abdominal wall hernias. Surgical mesh is a sterile woven material designed for permanently implantation within the body during open or laparoscopic procedures. A wide range of mesh implants are available, with two main functions: to stabilise and strengthen soft tissue defects, and to act as a sling to support prolapsed organs and viscera. In tissue repair applications, the mesh serves to mechanically strengthen the weakened area whilst simultaneously promoting long-term stability by acting as a scaffold for new tissue growth. It is most commonly used in pelvic organ prolapse, urinary stress incontinence and hernia repairs. Capromesh meshes Partially absorbable The sterile partially absorbable composite mesh is made from two components: an absorbable and non-absorbable. Capromesh composed of an absorbable segmented copolymer of glycolide and ε caprolactone and non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament fiber. After absorption of the absorbable part, only the polypropylene mesh remains in the body. The structure and the size of this remaining mesh are optimally designed for the physiological stress, which the abdominal wall is subject to. Indication: Capromesh is indicated in the operative treatment of fascial defects, in particular hernias, weakened abdominal wall, healing of which required longterm bridging or strengthening the damaged structures.
