STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices – a unique anchoring technology to maintain closure without knots:

• More consistent tension control and approximation with each pass than with traditional sutures
• Strength and security of interrupted suturing without knot-related complications^{1,122,123,133,141,145,150,153}
• More efficient than continuous suturing with traditional sutures^{1,122,123,133,141,145,150,153}

DERMABOND ADVANCED™ Topical Skin Adhesive &ndash a unique formulation that provides patients with a triad of benefits when used in addition to sutures

• Adds strength ex vivo¹
• Inhibits bacteria in vitro^117,†
• Provides a flexible microbial barrier^117,‡

Plus Antibacterial Sutures – the only commercially available sutures with antibacterial protection

• Provides strength through critical healing period^1,155
• Protection against bacterial colonization of the suture by organisms commonly associated with surgical site infection^137,138,146
