Wound Closure

Every wound should be securely closed and treated with professional veterinary medicine sutures. With our needle holders you can safely stitch sutures and then pull the sutures again after the healing process. For this purpose, we offer bulk packs of suture pulling knives for sterile and hygienic work. For smaller wounds and incisions, we naturally also stock custom quick dressings of various brands and sizes, so that you can select them to suit your patients - or cut them to size yourself. The large quantities are ideal for your everyday practice and can be quickly reordered.

Wound Closure in Animals

At meddax24.de, this category provides products for the professional closure of wounds requiring surgical intervention. Our selection includes staplers, suturing materials, and tissue adhesives.

Veterinary Wound Care

Various methods are available for wound closure in veterinary medicine, depending on the severity of the wound. The procedure may be performed under general anesthesia or sedation, depending on the location and extent of the injury. This category offers a range of wound closure materials designed for different applications. For optimal preparation of the surgical site, veterinarians often rely on suitable skin and hand disinfection.

Surgical Needles for Wound Closure

Veterinary wound suturing requires sharp, pointed, or partially rounded needles. These are selected based on the type of suture material used. Needles with a round or spring eye are classified as traumatic needles, while the choice of needle depends on the tissue being sutured. Surgical needles are available in various sizes, shapes, strengths, and eye types. During procedures, sterile compresses are commonly used to maintain a clear field of view.

Suture Materials Specifically Developed for Veterinary Use

This category includes all available needle-thread combinations, as well as separate sutures for threading. Needles that are pre-attached to the suture thread are referred to as atraumatic needles in surgical wound closure. These minimize additional tissue damage, as the transition between the needle and thread is nearly seamless. Organized storage of these materials can be complemented with appropriate practice accessories.

Closing Superficial Wounds with Tissue Adhesive

For small, superficial wounds, suturing is often unnecessary. However, these wounds still require closure to promote optimal healing. Tissue adhesives provide an effective solution in such cases. After application, the area may be protected using breathable adhesive plasters.

Using Skin Staplers for Wound Closure

For longer surgical incisions, skin staplers allow for quick and efficient wound closure. They offer a highly effective alternative to traditional suturing, as they reduce scarring and minimize the risk of allergic reactions that may occur with certain suture materials.

Suture Material Storage Solutions

meddax24.de provides suture material and flat spool stands, allowing for clean and organized storage of surgical wound closure materials. These stands ensure that essential suturing tools are easily accessible during operations, facilitating a smooth workflow for veterinary professionals. Proper setup may also include the use of bowl stands for sterile instruments.
