Body Contouring & Large Closure Sutures

Sutures for High-Tension & Large Surgical Closures

Body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty, liposuction-assisted contouring and reconstructive surgeries require sutures capable of withstanding increased tension across larger wound surfaces. Aston Pharma supplies a comprehensive range suitable for deep dermal, fascial and layered closures.

Nylon (Ethilon®-type) – Non-Absorbable

Strong epidermal support

Reliable knot security

Commonly used for skin layers

Polydioxanone (PDS®-type) – Absorbable

Extended absorption profile

Ideal for deep dermal and fascial support

Polyester (Ethibond®-type) – Braided Non-Absorbable
