risk of slippage and secures the wound without needing knots.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF DURABARB

» Eliminates the risk of excess bleeding.


» Better cosmetic results.
» Wound closure is faster as the time is saved for knotting.
» Wound closure is easy for the surgeons than conventional sutures.
» Eliminates the risk of loss of haemoglobin and length of hospitalization hence
enhancing patient comfort.
» Reduction of perioperative complications.
» Prevents leakage of gastric juices in esophagojejunostomies.
» Eliminates the chance of suture knot breakage.
» Eliminates the chance of slippage of knots.
» Eliminates necrosis due to higher tension of placement of knot.
» Eliminates inflammation which happens near a knot (Inflammation is positive
related to the size of the knot).
» Reduction of cost during operation.
» Avoids the need of consistently monitoring the tension of the suture.
AVAILABLE IN BOTH UNI-DIRECTIONAL AND BI-DIRECTIONAL BARBS

DURABARB UNI-DIRECTIONAL BARB SUTURE


Uni-directional barb sutures are available with terminal loop on one end and
a single atraumatic surgical needle attached on the other end.
The barbs are placed at an angle of 72°; scientific studies have proved
that hooks between angles between 65 – 75 degrees have the best grip
on the substrate.

ABSORPTION PATTERN

The suture retains approximately 85% of the initial tensile strength within 14
days of implant, 74% of tensile strength after 28 days, 59% after 45 days and
30% after 60 days of implantation and the suture is essentially absorbed
completely between 180 to 210 days

USAGE
Oncology, Geriatric, Gynaecology, Cosmetic surgery, Urology, Vaginal cuff
closure after hysterectomy, Uro-Gynaecology surgery, myomectomy, Laparoscopy,
Gastrointestinal.
