4x less tissue slippage for the most precise transection. Uniquely designed for better grip to provide the least tissue slippage§ for the most precise transection. Proprietary Gripping Surface Technology provides superior tissue grip without additional trauma during firing. This means you can transect more of the tissue you intended - especially in very thick tissue - with each firing.

ADVAPD Suture is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from polyester and Polydioxanone.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Polydioxanone gives ADVAPD:
ADVAPD Suture is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery. PDS II Suture is not indicated in adult cardiovascular surgery, microsurgery and neural tissue.
ADVAPD Suture is particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.
ADVAPD Suture, being absorbable, is not to be used where prolonged (beyond six weeks) approximation of tissues under stress is required and is not to be used in conjunction with prosthetic devices (i.e. heart valves or synthetic grafts). Suture absorption occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
ADVALON Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.
ADVALON Suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by a gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. While nylon is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the nylon in vivo may result in gradual loss of tensile strength over time.
Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in vivo, nylon suture should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required.

ADVACRYL Suture is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Braided ADVACRYL Suture is coated with a mixture composed of Poly (Glycolide-co-lactide) (Glacomer 37) and calcium stearate. The suture is colored violet to increase visibility and is also available undyed.
The advanced extrusion process of copolymer, the exclusive braiding process and coating system, give ADVACRYL:
ADVACRYL Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
ADVACRYL Suture being absorbable, should not be used where permanent support of tissue is required.
Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of ADVACRYL Suture occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
ADVALENE Suture is non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. The suture is coloured blue to enhance visibility.
The advanced extrusion process of the polypropylene molecule gives ADVALENE:
ADVALENE Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximating and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic procedures, and neurological procedures.
ADVALENE Suture complies with united state pharmacopeia requirement for Non- absorbable surgical suture.
ADVALENE Suture elicit a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. ADVALENE Suture is not absorbed, nor is they subject to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes.
As a monofilament, ADVALENE Suture is inert, resist involvement in infection and have been successfully employed in contaminated and infected wounds to eliminate or minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion.
Furthermore, the lack of adherence to the tissues has facilitated the use of ADVALENE Suture as a pull-out suture.
