Distinctive Features:
- Ideal for internal tissues where a long lasting, absorbable suture is preferable.
- Very high initial tensile strength and excellent pliability.
- Smooth passage through tissue and lesser reactivity.
Tensile strength Retention:
Packaging:
Packaging plays a very critical role when it comes to synthetic absorbable sutures. Lotus worked in close consultation with DuPont, USA and custom-developed for the first time in India, a unique, hermetically sealed aluminium peel-off pouch for packaging the entire range of synthetic absorbable sutures.
Lotus also introduced for the first time, a vacuumed, nitrogen-flushed secondary aluminium pouch to provide dual moisture barrier, thus helping maintain the tensile strength of the suture material for the entire duration of its shelf life.
In the pursuit of excellence in packaging, Lotus has also developed a fully automatic in-line packaging machine where forming, sealing, trimming, printing and cutting are all done in a continuous motion, thus eliminating human error and handling.
