- The most popular Suturing knot being in the Square knot or Surgeons Knot.
- El suture knot should be tightened sufficiently for approximation without constricting the tissue at the wound edge and ensuring non impeding of blood flow.
- In the Sutura Absorbible category, Braided and coated Poliglactina 910 is the strongest suture.
- In the non-absorbable suture category, Braided and coated polyester was the strongest suture till the introduction of UHMWPE Sutures. The introduction of UHMWPE Sutures has made it the strongest in the segment.

We manufacture suture needles with two grades of steel. AISI 302 and AISI 420
All our suture needles are Atraumatic needles. However, we also can support clients with Eyed Suture Needles which is Traumatic in nature.
Definition Of Atraumatic needles: A needle that doesn?t have an eye at the end and has got a drill into which the suture placed and is crimped making the needle end to match the diameter of the suture. With this type of attachment, there is no or very little trauma to the tissue while suturing makes it an Atraumatic Suture Needle.
We export our sutures to more than 50 countries which include, highly regulated like Germany, New Zealand, Romania, Poland to Semi Regulated like Iraq, Egypt, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Mauritius to non-regulated markets like Kenya, Zambia, Malawi.
The suture should be stored in a clean area under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. It should be properly stored on the racks/shelves as specified in the IFU and the room temperature should not exceed 300 C.

Upon successful completion, we have plans to increase the shelf life of these sutures to 5 years from 3 years.
Catgut being an animal origin product and less control over each batch of raw material we receive from the market the regulations as per MDD will not permit us to obtain CE for catgut sutures. However, each lot produced is subjected to several tests to ensure the safety of the sutures which makes our Catgut sutures one of the best-accepted sutures in the market.
An absorbable suture is the one that gets absorbed inside the body due to either by Enzymatic Action or due to Hydrolysis based on the origin of the product.
A non-absorbable suture is the one that will not get absorbed in the body. However, it is the discretion of the surgeon to choose the type of suture depending on the incision site, patient condition, and type of surgery.
Absorption of each product is mentioned in our catalog kindly go through Please visit our product page for more information.

We manufacture mainly 6 different types of absorbable sutures. Due to its different characteristics every suture absorbs in a different pattern. Uniglyde fast is the fastest synthetic absorbable suture which gets absorbed between 40 to 42 days and Unisynth PDS is the longest synthetic absorbable suture which gets absorbed between 180 to 210 days. To know more information on the absorption patterns you can click on the individual product link mentioned below.
It depends upon the USP size and its strength. For example, USP Size 1 for absorbable suture will have 1.81kgf knot pull tensile strength (KPTS) irrespective of the surgery. To know more on tensile strength of each product please visit our website www.universalsutures.com
