Knotless Sutures
Symmcora’s streamlined knotless design and locking system helps to provide more atraumatic, secure wound closure.
With Symmcora®, there is no need to pause or tie knots, reducing interruptions and supporting efficiency.
The self-locking system helps to ensure secure anchoring and consistent tension control, ideal for robotic, open and minimally invasive procedures.
Knotless sutures help to reduce the risk of tensile strength loss, unintended human error and interuser variability associated with traditional surgical knot-tying.1
Feature | Symmcora® MID | Symmcora® LONG | Symmcora® Permanent |
| Aborption | 180–210 days (long-term) | 90–120 days (mid-term) | Non-absorbable |
| Material | Poly p-dioxanone (PDO) | Poly (glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) | Polypropylene |
| Colour | Violet | Violet or undyed | Blue |
| Sizes (USP) | 2 to 4/0 | 2 to 4/0 | 2 to 4/0 |
| Indication | Soft tissue approx. where long-term absorption is needed | Soft tissue approx. where mid-term absorption is needed | Slow healing tissues or where permanent suture is required |
The knotless design reduces steps and supports consistent low tension tissue approximation.1
Symmcora® is designed for robotic-assisted surgery. Its self-locking system ensures consistent tension control. Surgeons can close tissue without knots, making the process smooth and efficient.
Symmcora® is designed for efficient wound closure in robotic, open and minimally invasive procedures. It has applications across different surgical specialities and procedures where a continuous, knotless suturing technique is required.
Symmcora® enables continuous suturing without knots. This reduces interruptions and saves time during closure. Surgeons can focus on precision while maintaining secure anchoring.
The barbed suture locks itself along the tissue line. This eliminates knot tying and keeps tension even. This can help surgeons achieve reliable closure with fewer steps.
Through a combination of clinical education and advanced suture technologies, we partner with healthcare professionals to enhance wound closure proficiency and address surgical challenges related to tissue healing and complications.
Our tailored education and training support clinical proficiency in the effective use of B. Braun’s suture portfolio, including proprietary ultra-long-term absorbable solutions and innovative suturing and knotting techniques.
We utilise a combination of digital and practical skills to bring suture simulation to life, investing in our future surgeons.
