Areas of use
SERALOC® – Tissue closure of the latest generation
Minute details – great results
More and more demands are being placed on surgical suture material. Precise and secure handling and optimal tolerability for the patient are of utmost importance.
SERALOC® is a new suture technique that combines these requirements. This is achieved by making minute changes to the thread, with great results.
To date, sutures have always had to be secured with an initial knot. SERALOC® now makes this step superfluous. The beginning of the thread is welded to form a stable loop. A small modification at first glance, however, saves the surgeon time and eliminates the need for an extra hand. A decisive advantage lies in the minute detail: the thread is equipped with unidirectional barbs at regular intervals.
Following nature’s example, precisely these excellent resistance points provide significantly more efficacy and safety. The tension is evenly distributed over the entire suture, thereby achieving increased closure safety.
