Barbour® Linen Suture Thread - time tested & economical

Individual Filaments of the highest quality Linen are carefully selected to ensure strong knot security & impart good handling characteristics. Special processes are then applied to ensure regularity of diameter , smooth surface and the best extension for good knotting characteristics.

Barbour Linen Sutures are ideally suited for use in all kinds of surgeries in view of the high tensile strength, low tissue reactivity, superior knot security & excellent handling characteristics.

This is the reason that Barbour Linen Suture Threads are the trusted choice of the most successful surgeons.

Pearsalls Sutures Silk Braided Sutures

Pearsalls Silk Sutures have been developed over many years to achieve the greatest tensile strength whilst maintaining a consistent diameter within the limits of the European or US Pharmacopoeia.

By application of the most modern textile processing techniques Pearsalls convert a traditional natural filament into a suture material for modern surgery. Black silk can be supplied dyed with the traditional sulphol black, meeting European Pharmacopoeia requirements. Alternately, it is available dyes Logwood black complying with the US and European Pharmacopoeia standards.

Construction

Individual filaments of the highest quality silk are specially treated to give good handling properties. The filaments are then twisted together and braided. The braid is made up of the core of twisted silk around which a cover is plaited from 8,12 or 16 silk threads.

Special processes are then applied to ensure regularity of diameter., surface smoothness and the best extension for good knotting characteristics.
