vi lateral suture starter kits

Monofilament line used as a lateral suture (De Angelis style) is an accepted CCL treatment method. Crimping is strongly recommended as the knots formed tend to be large, often causing seroma reactions and pain due to soft tissue irritation. Packs are supplied sterile. Autoclaving is not recommended as this reduces the strength and increases the elasticity of the material. Double sutures are supplied swaged on as a loop for use of the self-locking McKee/Miller knot (VCOT 1999;12:78-80) or with 2 crimps. One needle pass around the fabella allows two lines to be placed with less peri-fabellar damage. For procedure details request our free DVD ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’.
