Our Antibacterial Sutures
The Atramat® PLUS Surgical Sutures offer the innovation, quality and technology of our Premium Sutures with a broad spectrum antibacterial agent coating for an increased protection during surgery.
Atramat® Plus surgical sutures are coated with chlorhexidine diacetate, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and acts as a fungicide against yeasts and dermatophytes.
The Atramat® Plus range of sutures offers the same performance and control that surgeons to which surgeons already are accustomed with the benefit of bacterial protection by decreasing infections at the surgical site.
The use of antibacterial-coated sutures significantly reduces infections at the surgical site, and they are an excellent choice for reducing the risk of infection where bacteria might be a problem.
In vitro testing has shown that Atramat® Plus antibacterial sutures create a halo of protection where bacterial growth is innhibited:
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Staphylococcus epidermidis
• Escherichia coli
Chlorhexidine diacetate is not absorbed by the body, and bacteria have not developed resistance to its effects unlike other agents used that only prevent the growth of new bacteria without eliminating those already present.
