Taper Point Needle
STRATAFIX™ Spiral Polypropylene Knotless Tissue Control Device consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on each end
Barbs allow for tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots
The strength of the Stratafix device can be compared to USP knot strength of non-barbed sutures
STRATAFIX™ Spiral Polypropylene Device contains bidirectionally oriented barbs to anchor tissues and does not require knots to approximate opposing edges of a wound
Tying knots on the barbed section of the material will damage the barbs and potentially reduce the suture tensile strength and barb effectiveness
For the bidirectional forces to be created and for the device to function properly, both sides of the STRATFIX device must be engaged in the tissue
Additionally, when completing placement, an additional backstitch or bite of tissue lateral to the end of the incision is required to lock the device in place
