Excellent Quality
[5]
Meril sutures are excellent quality, and we would happily switch from our go to brand which is Ethicon! The packaging is like for like which makes switching simple. You don’t have to worry about different codes or pack colours. The sutures have reduced memory when you remove them from their packaging, so we’re delighted with this as it makes handling easier. Meril sutures are the way forward and one that we’ll be stocking from now on.
Very Impressed
[5]
We trialled some Meril suture materials for a two week period and were very impressed overall. The Filapron (monocryl equivalent) and Mitsu (vicryl equivalent) both handle well and provide good knot security. The needles cut easily through tissue and are impressively resilient when bent, allowing re-bending to their original shape without snapping. I now happily use them on a regular basis.
