Our range of endoscopic suturing devices enable you to perform advanced suturing and knot tying with ease and speed.
The Endo Stitch™ device is the most popular suturing technology in the world, used in more than 2 million surgical cases.1
Save time
Our Endo Stitch™ suturing device reduces laparoscopic suturing time by 45-70% compared with conventional suturing.2–5
Save money
Approximately €1,600* saved per procedure compared with robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomies.6
Our Endo Stitch™ device together with our VLoc™ wound closure device enables simple and secure wound closure.
Simplicity – no knots needed
Our revolutionary V-Loc™ device uses unidirectional barbs to distribute tension across the wound, holding the edges together without knots.
Security – greater strength
Using the Endo Stitch™ device with our V-Loc™ device will provide you with greater wound closure strength compared with the Stratafix™* Spiral.7,8†
Our endoscopic suturing devices are used for a range of minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures, such as:
