In median sternotomy, sutures must withstand physiological forces during breathing, coughing, and movement – steel provides the necessary security here. In orthopaedics, its strength allows for cerclages around fractures and osteosyntheses. For abdominal wall defects and large hernias, steel secures the reconstruction even under intra-abdominal pressure. Its non-absorbable nature guarantees permanent hold without loss of strength over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"applications-steel\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"applications-title-steel\"\u003eSpecialised Areas of Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"applications-list-steel\"\u003e\n\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eSternal closure after sternotomy\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eOrthopaedics (Cerclages)\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eAbdominal wall closure\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eHernia reconstruction\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eFracture treatment\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eMaxillofacial surgery\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"application-item-steel\"\u003eHigh-stress tissue adaptation\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"needle-types-steel\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"needle-title-steel\"\u003eSpecialised Needle Configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"needle-grid-steel\"\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-steel\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-title-steel\"\u003e⚫ External Cutting Needles (HS)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-specs-steel\"\u003e\n\n        \u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-120mm (1\/2 circle)\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eUSP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 7\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 45cm or 60cm\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sternum, abdominal wall, dense bone\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-steel\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-title-steel\"\u003e🔹 Tapercut Needles (HRT)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-specs-steel\"\u003e\n\n        \u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-54mm (1\/2 circle)\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eUSP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u0026amp;4 to 6\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 45cm or 1 x 75cm\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard sternal closure\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-steel\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-title-steel\"\u003e✂️ Cutting Needles (NH)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-specs-steel\"\u003e\n\n        \u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48mm (1\/2 circle)\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eUSP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 7\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 45cm\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very dense tissue\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-steel\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-title-steel\"\u003e🦴 Patella Set (HS 120mm)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"needle-card-specs-steel\"\u003e\n\n        \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120mm straight\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eUSP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60cm\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patellar tendon surgery, large orthopaedic procedures\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"special-features-steel\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"special-title-steel\"\u003eProduct Features \u0026amp;

In thoracic surgery after sternotomy, in complex abdominal wall reconstructions, and in orthopaedics, surgical stainless steel offers a level of safety that synthetic materials cannot achieve. The special stainless steel alloy combines extreme tensile strength with good handling – wires can be bent and shaped without losing their stability. With a focused range of robust needles in USP 1 to 7, Steel Monofilament covers all applications where permanent, high-strength sutures are essential.
