Barbed polyester sutures are synthetic, bioabsorbable threads used to close soft-tissue wounds or surgical incisions. These devices feature integrated barbs that grip tissue to maintain tension, allowing surgeons to approximate wound edges without the need for traditional knots.
These single-use devices provide temporary support while the body heals and are eventually broken down through hydrolysis. They are supplied as sterile units and may include attached needles or specialized application tools to assist in the suturing process.
