3. Material & Craftsmanship

  • Surgical Needle: Built with high-quality Japanese imported needle steel (420J2). The needle tips undergo specialized quenching processes to ensure ultra-sharpness and smooth penetration.

  • Suture Thread: Sourced from South Korea (Meta), featuring original imported high-performance chemical fibers.

4. Absorption Profile

  • Absorption initiates after 15 days, with complete mass absorption within 60-90 days.

5. Clinical Applications

Versatile application in subcutaneous suturing, abdominal wall closure, muscle repair, ligation, and periodontal surgery. As a staple in general surgery, it is the most widely utilized suture type by veterinary professionals.

6. Advantages & Disadvantages

  • Advantages: Multi-strand braided structure for superior flexibility, fast degradation, and excellent knot security. Easy to handle for precise surgical maneuvers.

  • Disadvantages: The braided structure may carry a slightly higher risk of infection compared to monofilaments in contaminated fields.

7. ITGen Core Strengths

  • Japanese Steel Needles: Round-bodied needles feature a tapered tip to push tissue aside, minimizing trauma in delicate organs (stomach, intestines, peritoneum). Reverse cutting needles feature a triangular sharp tip for effortless penetration through tough tissues (skin, tendons).

  • Superior Tensile Strength: The multi-strand braided PGA ensures prolonged tension maintenance. ITGen sutures significantly exceed industry standards:

    Model Industry Tensile Strength Average Tensile Strength Improvement vs. Standard
    1-0 38.2N 58.7N +51%
    2-0 26.3N 39.2N +49%
    3-0 17.4N 22.9N +32%
    4-0 9.32N 13.2N +42%
    5-0 6.67N 8.4N +26%
  • Biocompatibility: Non-toxic degradation products with a hydrolysis cycle perfectly matched to tissue healing, offering natural antibacterial effects.
