Polyester Suture
Tevdek® Suture was the first braided polyester suture introduced over 35 years ago and originally developed for heart valve implantation.
- Heavy PTFE coating and tight weave provide minimum friction, allowing suture to pass easily through the most friable tissue
- Knots slide smoothly
Silky II Polydek® Suture is the same strong braided polyester substrate as Tevdek® Suture, but with a lighter PTFE treatment.
- Tightly braided Polydek® Suture is lightly coated with PTFE and handles and ties just like silk
- Smoother, stronger and longer lasting than silk
Cottony II is the uncoated version of our polyester suture.
- “Mechanical softening” process makes the polyester Cottony II suture feel as soft and smooth as cotton
K-Point Needles – for cardiovascular and orthopedic surgical applications
- K-Point needles combine a scalpel sharp cutting edge with a taper point geometry
- Cutting edge does not extend beyond the taper of the needle, yet easily cuts through the toughest tissue
- Taper point makes a round hole to minimize bleeding
- Unique design allows for the sharpest penetration with the least amount of tissue trauma
NextStitch® Valve Implantation Device
NextStitch® Valve Suturing enables perfect approximation of adjacent sutures by placing two sutures with a single needle pass, eliminating the risk of damaging a suture with an adjacent needle.
- Fewer needle punctures to the annulus
- Simplifies precise placement of adjacent sutures
- Eliminates risk of damaging a suture with an adjacent needle
