Consistency, Security and Efficiency

With significantly more points of fixation than traditional sutures, STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices give surgeons more consistent tension control over every pass, and combine the strength and security of interrupted closure with more efficiency than continuous closure.^{1,141,145,150}

STRATAFIX™ Symmetric Knotless Tissue Control Devices

Only Ethicon offers a tissue control device with appropriate strength for closing high-tension areas, such as fascia.²¹⁶

STRATAFIX™ Spiral Knotless Tissue Control Devices

Bidirectional devices appropriate for several closure techniques.

The unique anchor designs provide multiple points of fixation along the suture, allowing tension on the suture to be maintained during closure. There is no need for an assistant to follow the suture so closure is more efficient than continuous suturing with traditional sutures. With equal strength and security, STRATAFIX™ Devices can close wounds substantially faster than using an interrupted technique.^{1,123,133,141,145,150,153}
