2B. Braun ophthalmic suturesConvincing design and high quality finish
The B. Braun ophthalmic range is composedof various absorbable and non-absorbablesutures.
DafilonSynthetic non-absorbable monofilament made of polyamide 6 (blue) or polyamide 6.6 (black).
Safil QuickShort-term synthetic absorbable braided and coated suture made of low molecular weight polyglycolic acid (undyed or green).
PremileneNon-absorbable monofilament suture made of polypropylene(blue).
SilkamNon-absorbable braided and coated suture made of natural silkfilaments spun from silkworm larval cocoons (black).
MonosynMid-term absorbable synthetic monofilament suture made of glyconate (undyed).
SynthofilNon-absorbable, braided and coated synthetic suture made of polyethylene terephthalate (white).
SafilMid-term coated braided or monofilament synthetic absorbable suture made of pure polyglycolic acid (violet).
Virgin SilkNon-absorbable twisted suture made of natural silk filaments(dyed with methylene blue).
B. Braun is one of the few companies worldwide, manufacturing in house microsuture material for ophthalmic procedures.

4B. Braun ophthalmic suturesConvincing design and high quality finish
Safe and atraumatic needle attachment
The end part of B. Braun needles are precisely polished in order to provide an easy and atraumatic penetration of the completeneedle body. Each individual needle-attachment is tested duringmanufacturing, achieving 100% in process control.
Excellent grip in the needle holder
Thanks to its flattened body, the needle remains stable in theneedle holder enabling a precise placement and a better controlof penetration of the tissue layers of the eye.
Smooth needle surface
B. Braun micro needles are undergoing a special surface treatment. This modern manufacturing technique improves significantly thesmoothness of the surface and the sharpness of the cutting. Thetissue drag during surgery is strongly reduced.
Very sharp needle tip
The precise micro-tip of B. Braun lancet needles is achieved bycomputer assisted technology. The new generation of lancetneedles Long Life Point offers extremely low resistance to penetration.The tip goes very easily the tough tissues of the eye. Even afterseveral passages, the needle keeps its sharpness.
B. Braun has developed a comprehensive ophthalmic needle range of outstanding quality.
