Vedco’s suture cassettes provide a continuous length of suture for large animal or frequent surgeries.  The cassette was designed to address both the economic needs of the veterinarian in the clinic as well as the practical needs of the veterinarian in the field. When combined with our stainless steel cassette rack, veterinarians have a convenient unit that provides a complete range of surgical sutures at their fingertips. If the veterinarian needs to perform a procedure in the field, the cassette can slide easily into a pant or coat pocket, making it convenient to carry the amount of suture they need.

 

Benefits

 

• More economical than swaged suture

 

• Smoothly dispenses the suture without kinking

• Small compact design sets in most cassette racks
