Intended purpose
A sterile, synthetic, absorbable suture intended for applications in surgery demanding absorbable suture material. It is suitable for adapting soft tissue and for ligation. This is a single-use device.
Functional description
HAL suture ligates haemorrhoidal arteries to remove blood flow to haemorrhoids. Suture is gradually absorbed by hydrolysis and metabolised. Hydrolytic degradation provides a gradual loss of the tensile strength and finally dissolution of the thread after approximately 90 days.
