BARB-E® Barbed Sutures
Secure closure. Streamlined suturing.

BARB-E® Barbed Sutures are engineered to deliver dependable tissue approximation without the need for knots. Advanced dual-angle barbs provide strong anchoring while helping maintain the integrity of the suture strand, supporting fast, efficient closure with consistently distributed tension.

Designed for efficiency
The integrated barbed design helps reduce suture material requirements, eliminate knot-related complications and minimise the need for an extra hand during closure. Available in unidirectional and bidirectional configurations, BARB-E™ supports a wide range of procedural preferences.

BARB-E® Polydioxanone
BARB-E® is a monofilament, absorbable polydioxanone suture available in sizes 4-0 to USP 2. It retains 70% tensile strength at 14 days and 35% at 42 days, with complete absorption in 180-210 days.

Key Benefits
– Strong, reliable anchoring with a superior dual-angle barb design
– Even tension distribution across the wound
– No knots required
– Efficient closure with less material used
– Available with unidirectional or bidirectional barbs
– Five-year shelf life
