In today’s world, choosing the appropriate suture material to suit the surgical procedure is crucial for achieving positive results in veterinary surgery. Non-absorbable veterinary sutures are a specific type of suture designed to provide support during tissue approximation and ensure that the surgical area does not yield during the healing process. These sutures are used when tissue support is needed for more than a few days, allowing proper tissue restructuring to occur.
Have you ever considered the difference a correct non-absorbable veterinary suture can make for your surgery?
Non-absorbable veterinary sutures offer numerous advantages such as increased tissue strength and minimal or no inflammatory reaction; they are beneficial in surgical procedures where the suture material needs to provide stable long-term support. The knotting in these sutures is such that it does not dissolve over time, ensuring secure tissue approximation until healing is complete or the suture is removed. Using non-absorbable veterinary sutures means your patients receive top-notch treatment and care, as the sutures used are designed to withstand the challenging conditions within the body and environment without disintegrating.
Currently, Universal Sutures offers a wide range of non-absorbable veterinary sutures designed to accommodate any veterinary surgical practice. Let’s take a closer look at our offerings:
- UNI-VET Silk Suture
The black braided silk suture we use is made from fibroin; an organic protein obtained from the domestic species known as Bombyx mori. UNI-Vet Silk sutures are carefully treated to remove natural waxes and gums, providing a smooth, sterile, non-absorbable surgical suture for general soft tissue and ligation. The ease of handling silk sutures, combined with good knot security, makes them a preferred suture in many veterinary surgeries.
- UNI-VET Bond Suture
The UNI-Vet Bond suture is a coated polyester braid suture made of high molecular weight poly (ethylene terephthalate) fibers. This suture is commonly used as a non-absorbable option, known for its increased strength and durability due to its braided construction, ensuring superior knot security. Additionally, the special coating reduces tissue drag. UNI-Vet Bond sutures are ideal for cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and orthopedic surgeries that require strong tissue support for an extended period.
- UNI-Vet Lene Suture
UNI-Vet Lene, our monofilament polypropylene suture, has been made from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer polypropylene. This suture is pigmented to provide increased visibility and is non-absorbable, which has good tissue strength and spares tissue reactivity. It is monofilament; hence it can easily pass through tissues without causing any harm or sticking together, and therefore works well. UNI-Vet Lene sutures are perfect for skin sutures, vessel stitches, and plastic surgery applications.
- UNI-VET Nylon Suture
The UNI-Vet Nylon suture is made of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6, which are monofilament polyamide sutures characterized by high tensile strength and elasticity. This non-absorbable suture comes in black or blue and fades into the tissue, making it easy to see during operations. Due to its very low tissue reactivity, the material is ideal for skin closures as well as neurosurgical and ophthalmological procedures. This makes it easier to provide UNI-Vet Nylon sutures that will guarantee your patients the best level of care as required.
Using non-absorbable veterinary sutures offers several key advantages:
- Prolonged Tissue Support: These sutures remain intact for some time and therefore offer constant holding on the healing tissue.
- Versatile Application: As a versatile option due to ease of use and strength, non-absorbable sutures are suitable for various skin and soft tissue surgeries, as well as orthopedic surgeries.
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: Our sutures are developed to cause minimum irritation of the tissue, hence making the patient feel comfortable and decreasing the possibility of complications.
