RIBBED NEEDLE FOR BETTER GRIPRibbed needles ensure better grip in needle holder withouttwisting or turning & adds to penetration strength.

SUPERIOR SUTURE – NEEDLE ATTACHMENTThe precision of the drilled needle attachment offers a superiorsuture which provides strength for trouble free suturing.

HIGHER ATTACHMENT PRODUCTIVITYInitial 0.1mm of the needles counter sunk for easy insertion ofsuture into needle offering high productivity.

SHARPENED NEEDLEThe sharp and gradually tapered needle profile guarantees easypenetration at every point.

DRILLED END NEEDLEIt has no crevasses, is seamless & does not cause any tissue tear.

STRONGER NEEDLEMade from special stainless steel alloy – provides excellent ductility& high resistance to needle breaking even when reshaping.

SMOOTH FINISH FOR EASY PASSAGE THROUGHTISSUESSmooth and excellent finish with virtually no pit marks eliminatestissue drag.

SUPERIOR GEOMETRY PENETRATION FOR CUTTINGNEEDLESThe sharpened triangular sides of the cutting & reverse cuttingneedles along with the sharp tip penetrates tough tissue easily.

BLACK & SILICONIZED NEEDLESBlack siliconized needles provide glare free vision for surgeonsduring procedures & passes easily through tissues.

OTHER SUTURESThe older style sutures connect to the thread through an opencanal on one end. After tightening there is an uneven union leftwith edges that are larger in diameter than the thickness of thesuture. This can cause a large amount of trauma as it penetratesthe tissue.

®STARMEDIX SUTURES®The Starmedix Sutures have a centered

perforation on one end ofthe suture. After tightening, a perfect union is created withoutprotruding edges. This progressively reduced diameter allows foreasier penetration of suture and thread through the tissue.
