Victyn (PGLA) Suture – TGA approval underway
Our new G8Med Suture range has been developed to support reliable handling, consistent knot security, and dependable wound closure outcomes in everyday veterinary procedures using USA 302 Stainless Steel needles. UPGRADED Premium Silicon Coated GlydeXT needles coated with six layers of silicon, offering smooth penetration for better control and less tissue trauma. Offering an improved needle on every suture that have been designed to stay sharp, not just start sharp.
Maintains sharpness throughout procedure
Engineered to retain its sharp cutting edge across multiple passes, ensuring consistent penetration from the first stitch to the last.
Reduced tissue trauma
The GlydeXT needle is designed to penetrate tissue smoothly, minimising drag and reducing tissue disruption at the entry point.
Lower penetration force
Requires less force to pass through tissue, helping to improve control and precision—particularly beneficial in delicate or friable tissues.
Improved handling and accuracy
Smooth passage allows clinicians to place sutures more confidently, with better needle control and reduced hand fatigue during longer procedures.
Consistent performance across tissue types
Performs reliably in skin, muscle, and soft tissue, making it suitable for a wide range of routine and surgical procedures.
Reduced risk of tissue tearing
Clean penetration helps maintain tissue integrity, supporting better wound apposition and healing outcomes.
Efficient suturing
Faster, smoother passes can reduce overall suturing time, supporting improved workflow in busy clinics.
Enhanced surgeon comfort
Less resistance through tissue means less strain on hands and wrists, especially during repetitive suturing.
