About this Device
STRATAFIX Spiral Knotless Tissue Control Devices have barbs in a spiral pattern and are available in both bidirectional and unidirectional designs. The barbs allow for tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots. The bidirectional design has a needle at both ends of the suture strand, whereas the unidirectional design has a loop at one end and a needle at the other. Plus antibacterial technology is available for both bidirectional and unidirectional designs.

Economic Outcomes
In a retrospective cohort study comparing economic and clinical outcomes of STRATAFIX™ Knotless Tissue Control Devices with conventional, non-barbed sutures in spinal surgery patients, the patient group with STRATAFIX™ was associated with:C14
- Significantly lower mean OR time (239±117 minutes vs 263±79 minutes, P=0.015)
- Significantly lower mean OR costs ($6,673±$3,976 vs $7,710±$2,700, P=0.020)
Clinical Outcomes
In a randomized clinical trial comparing STRATAFIX Spiral Knotless Tissue Control Device bidirectional to traditional suturing during uterine closure in C-section, STRATAFIX was associated withAB13:
- 18% reduced blood loss (P<0.005)
- 49% fewer hemostatic sutures required (P<0.001)
- 38% faster uterine closure (P<0.001)
Features & Benefits
Strength Retention
STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Knotless Tissue Control Devices are as strong as V-Loc™ 180 Wound Closure Devices at time zero and provide greater strength retention over time.DE15-17
More Efficiency
STRATAFIX™ barbed sutures can close wounds substantially faster than using an interrupted technique,18-20 resulting in significant time savings in the OR.18 Bidirectional STRATAFIX Spiral Devices improve efficiency by allowing 2 clinicians to close at the same time with a
single device.
Antibacterial Protection
STRATAFIX™ Plus Devices are the only commercially available barbed sutures with triclosan, which inhibits colonization of the device by methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA), methicillin-resistant S epidermidis (MRSE), and other bacteria linked to SSIs.FGH21 STRATAFIX™ Plus Devices with triclosan coating exhibited 99.9% fewer bacteria vs non-triclosan-coated V-Loc™ in vitro.IJ22,23
Triclosan has in vitro activity that inhibits bacterial colonization of the suture. Petri dish image for illustrative purposes only.
