FOCUS

ON THE

FACTS.


We strive to make the best sutures for patients. And we know hospitals want to make purchasing decisions grounded in facts — and competitive comparisons can offer that.

The ECRI Institute, a trusted third-party medical research provider, conducted an independent suture evaluation, comparing Medtronic and Ethicon sutures.

Their suture evaluation report validates our product performance compared to Ethicon — and motivates us to do even better for patients.
