Barbed polyester suture with antimicrobial properties is a single-use, synthetic thread designed to close soft-tissue wounds or incisions. Its barbs create tension to hold wound edges together without requiring knots, while the antimicrobial agent helps reduce infection risk during healing.
These sutures are typically classified as single-use devices and may include disposable application tools like needles or passers. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally intended for temporary wound support until natural healing occurs.
