Choose with confidence
Absorbable or non-absorbable?
The single most important call when you switch suture — here is the plain-English version.
Absorbable
Breaks down in the body over time. For internal tissue, ligation, anything you will not remove. Holds strength through the critical healing window, then absorbs cleanly.
Non-absorbable
Stays until removed — skin closure, tendons, anywhere lasting support matters. Reach for a nylon or polypropylene monofilament instead.
Monofilament vs braided
Monofilament glides through tissue with less drag and lower infection risk. Braided handles and knots more easily.
Reading the label

✧ Reviews
What buyers say.
Switched our whole clinic over from a name brand. Identical handling, knots beautifully, and the savings are real at volume.
Low memory, easy to throw, and they actually ship when they say they will. Reorder takes ten seconds now.
Excellent prices and top-notch service. We use them exclusively for our surgical stapling equipment.
