Certificates are published on our certifications page.
Sutures are needled on drilled-end ribbed needles, sealed in aluminium foil primary packs with a validated sterile barrier, then terminally sterilised using validated ethylene oxide cycles. Each batch is released with a certificate of analysis covering tensile strength, needle-attachment pull, sterility and endotoxin limits.
Yes. Our OEM division develops customised suture, mesh and bone wax ranges under your brand — including artwork, multi-language labelling, pack configuration, needle geometry selection and regulatory dossier support. Full details are on the OEM services page.
Every suture and suture-needle combination is manufactured to at least 1.1 times the USP requirement for tensile strength and needle-attachment pull, giving a deliberate safety margin above pharmacopoeial minimums and protecting knot security in demanding closures.
Yes. Beyond standard sheets, we manufacture keyhole, plug and sling configurations, and can supply polypropylene mesh in rolls up to 32 cm width and 25 metres length, sterile or non-sterile, depending on your conversion and registration model.
