Sutures

Pearsalls Sutures supplies most of the major suture manufacturers world-wide with non-absorbable, non-sterile suture material. We can also supply small reels of silk suture for hospital sterilisation.

If you require assistance sourcing other components or require finished sutures with needles attached we would be pleased to recommend suitable manufacturers.
