Features
- With significantly more points of fixation than traditional sutures, STRATAFIX™ devices give surgeons more consistent control over every pass and combine the strength and security of interrupted closure with more efficiency than continuous closure
- STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDO 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
- STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDO Device is comprised of dyed (violet) polyester, poly (p-dioxanone)
- The strength of the Stratafix device can be compared to USP knot strength of non-barbed sutures
- Absorption of STRATAFIX PDO Device is minimal until about 120 days, and is essentially complete within 180 days (six months)
- STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDO 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
