Suture Needles

Sutures & NeedlesHarvard Apparatus LOOK ® Sutures• Needles penetratesmoothly• Sutures stay secure• Superior packagingwith easy to identifymarkingsLOOK ® SuturesLOOK ® sutures and needles are the highest quality available. Their proprietaryin-house manufacturing processes give them maximum controlover the quality of all products. From the receipt of raw materialto the shipping of finished products, they oversee every aspect of theproduction cycle and hold it to the highest standards.Rigid inspections make certain sutures meet or exceed exacting U.S.P.standards. Indeed, LOOK ® tolerances have long been consideredamong the tightest in the industry. The end result is a suture that performsexactly the way you expect it to!Suture Diameter EquivalentsEuropean PharmacopeiaU.S.P.

Available in greenand undyed versions.Nylon MonofilamentThis black and clear nylon monofilaments aresmooth and nonporous, resulting in excellenttensile strength and ease of passage throughtissue, while reducing tissue trauma, andpreventing tissue ingrowth.Silk Black BraidedSurgical black braided silk is speciallyprocessed for optimum handling and knotsecurity without excess capillarity.Polyviolene ® PolyesterThis green and white braided Polyviolene ®polyester suture material has a uniquecombination of strength, excellent handling,and knot-tying security. Special braiding offers auniform surface which minimizes tissue trauma.Gut Plain-AbsorbablePlain gut is manufactured from the highestquality raw material to ensure ease of handling,dependable absorption, and high tensilestrength. All strands are precisionpolished to a uniform diameter.Gut Chromic-AbsorbableChromic gut has the same high qualitycharacteristics as our plain gut, with specialtreatment to maintain tensile strength withinthe tissue while prolonging absorption.Surgical InstrumentsSuture U.S.P.

Sutures & NeedlesSutures with Reverse Cutting Precision Point NeedlesNeedles• Remarkably consistent and reliable• Penetrates cleanly with minimal drag• Resists bending, catching and breakingThese Harvard LOOK ® Suture Needles are manufacturedfrom top quality surgical stainless steeland are designed to stay sharp to ensure continuedpassage through tissue. They are attached tothe suture by a swagging technique providing onecontinuous, even, smooth strand between theneedle and suture material.These needles are tempered to the right combinationof hardness and tensile strength. They holdChord LengthLengththeir fine cutting edge/point and resist bendingwhen the necessary pressure is applied.They provide a secure attachment for the suturematerial. Regular tests gauge needles sharpnessand ductility.These Needles with Sutures are individuallypackaged in sterile, peelable, double envelopesfor maximum protection. They are supplied inboxes of 12.PointPointReverse Cutting NeedlesCutting Edge onOuter Curve. Fortough, difficult-topenetratetissues.Cutting EdgeCut Taper NeedlesCutting tip and taperbody.
