Ultra-Fine Micro Surgical Sutures Manufactured to EU MDR & ISO 13485 Standards

Universal Sutures (Unisur Lifecare Pvt. Ltd.) is a global pioneer in manufacturing high-precision micro-surgical sutures tailored for delicate tissue approximation in ophthalmic, micro-vascular, neurological, and plastic reconstructive surgeries.

Engineered inside state-of-the-art Class 100,000 cleanrooms in Bengaluru, India, our microsuture range features ultra-fine gauges from USP 7-0 down to 11-0 (Metric 0.1 to 0.5). Every thread is paired with premium 300/400-series stainless steel micro-needles (spatulated, taper point, or micro-cutting) designed for smooth penetration, minimal tissue trauma, and zero needle distortion under magnification.

  • 1.1× USP Tensile Security: Exceeds international pharmacopoeia standards for tensile strength and micro-needle attachment integrity.
  • Micro-Needle Precision: Drilled-end, corrosion-resistant alloy needles with silicone coating for effortless tissue passage.
  • Ethylene Oxide Sterilised: Validated EO sterilisation cycles packaged in double foil barrier packs to guarantee maximum shelf-life.
  • Global OEM & Regulatory Support: CE marked and EU MDR (Regulation 2017/745) technical dossiers available for international distributors.
