Selecting an absorbable surgical suture involves more than choosing a material that eventually dissolves. Its composition, strength retention, absorption profile and needle configuration all matter when evaluating a product for a particular procedure. Polyglactin 910 and Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) are two synthetic absorbable suture materials available from Universal Sutures. Although they share several characteristics, they…

Launching a private-label surgical suture brand begins with understanding your customers, selecting the right products and finding a manufacturing partner who can support your requirements. For medical distributors, healthcare suppliers and businesses expanding their surgical product portfolio, OEM manufacturing offers a route to developing a branded range without establishing an entire production facility. However, a…

Hernia mesh is a medical implant used to reinforce weakened tissue during hernia repair. It provides additional support to the abdominal wall and helps maintain the repair while the surrounding tissue heals and integrates with the mesh. However, surgical meshes are not all manufactured from the same material or designed in the same shape. The…

Hernia repair often involves the placement of a surgical mesh to strengthen the weakened abdominal wall and support long-term tissue healing. However, selecting an appropriate mesh is only one part of the procedure. The method used to secure the mesh can also influence positioning, surgical efficiency and the initial stability of the repair. For hospitals,…

What Is an Absorbable Tacker Used for in Surgery? Modern surgical procedures increasingly use minimally invasive techniques to reduce tissue trauma, improve procedural efficiency and support faster patient recovery. During many hernia repair procedures, surgeons place a surgical mesh over weakened tissue to reinforce the affected area. For the mesh to function effectively, it must…

Bleeding control is one of the most important priorities during any surgical procedure. While surgeons commonly use sutures, ligatures, pressure and electrocautery to manage bleeding, some surgical sites can be difficult to access or may continue to bleed despite conventional techniques. In such situations, topical haemostatic materials can provide valuable support. Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose, commonly…

Hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. In many hernia surgeries, especially laparoscopic hernia repair, a surgical mesh is placed to strengthen the weakened tissue area and reduce the risk of recurrence. For proper mesh positioning, secure fixation is very important. This is where an Absorbable Tacker plays an important…

Bleeding control is one of the most important aspects of any surgical procedure. Whether it is a minor operation or a complex surgical intervention, effective hemostasis helps surgeons maintain a clear surgical field, reduce blood loss, and support better procedural outcomes. One widely used hemostatic material in modern surgery is Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose, commonly known…
Details
Bleeding control is one of the most important parts of any surgical procedure. Even minor bleeding can affect visibility, increase operating time, and create challenges for the surgical team. To support effective hemostasis, surgeons often use topical absorbable hemostats along with conventional bleeding control methods such as pressure, ligation, cautery, or suturing. One widely used…

Mersilene tape is a non-absorbable surgical material widely used in various medical procedures that require strong, long-term tissue support. It is made from braided polyester fibers, which provide high tensile strength, durability, and reliable performance during and after surgery. Surgeons commonly prefer Mersilene tape for procedures where permanent reinforcement of tissues is required, particularly in…
