Product Description

The most versatile choice of suture for soft tissue approximation, and best-in-class raw material, ensuring reliability. Sharper needles allow for easy and effortless penetration, providing consistent performance at every pass due to high needle-thread integrity.

MITSU is a mid-term absorbable braided and coated synthetic suture made of poly (glycolide-co-l-lactide)(90/10). MITSU degrades by hydrolysis and assures predictable and reliable absorption.

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.
