SERAFIT

Serafit® is a braided absorbable suture, which is extremely pliable and allows a smooth passage of the thread through the tissue during suture placement with minimum sawing effect. It can be tied reliably, even in areas containing a good deal of blood or tissue secretions, and ensures knot security. SERAFIT® is available in a special form with patented suture stiffening for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
