Clinical Performance & Use

Reviewers and experts from J&J MedTech and PubMed Central highlight the following benefits of the STRATAFIX™ system: 

  • Efficiency: Allows for faster closure compared to interrupted techniques as it eliminates the need for knot-tying and an assistant to follow the suture.
  • Security: Provides multiple points of fixation along the suture line, maintaining consistent tension control throughout the pass.
  • Antibacterial Technology: The only barbed suture with Triclosan, which head-to-head studies showed results in 99% fewer surface bacteria compared to competitors like V-Loc™.
  • Limitations: It is not recommended for use in fascial closures (such as abdominal walls), cardiovascular tissue, or microsurgery due to its absorbable nature and risk of wound separation in high-stress areas.
