Surgical - Syneture

Syneture - "The thread between science and healing" , is one of the most comprehensive suture product lines in the industry. More than a new name: a new philosophy , a new beginning, a commitment to working closely with surgeons, nurses, and operating room teams to meet their needs.

Part of the U. S. Surgical family, Syneture retains the technical innovation of USS and the history and strong suture portfolio of Davis and Geck, but also makes a clear departure. In short, synergy is everything.
