Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • High Tenacity: The Pro Model’s 4.5 GPa tensile strength outperforms industry benchmarks by 30%, enabling secure suturing in high-stress tissues.
    • UV Resistance: The Advanced Model’s 300-hour UV protection exceeds standard medical-grade materials, ideal for prolonged surgeries.
    • Dual EPR Compliance: Certifications ensure seamless adoption across EU markets, reducing regulatory hurdles.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Suitable for routine procedures (e.g., dermatology) where moderate strength suffices.
    • Advanced Model: Preferred for general surgeries (e.g., abdominal) requiring UV resistance and mid-range durability.
    • Pro Model: Recommended for complex cases (e.g., orthopedic or cardiovascular) demanding extreme tensile strength and lightweight flexibility.

With the Pro Model’s 4.5 GPa tensile strength, you can ensure sutures withstand repetitive stress in joint repairs. Pair its low weight with anti-UV properties to maintain integrity during extended procedures.
