Cardiovascular & Thoracic
Cardiovascular surgery demands precise performance and exceptional reliability to ensure the outcome alleviates the symptoms and improves the patient’s chances of recover. From CABG to valve replacements, surgeons depend on needles and sutures for successful outcomes. Our Sharpoint™ portfolio of cardiovascular needles blend the optimal combination of materials, geometries, coatings and finishing work to provide surgeons with a solution that lets them focus on the patient, not the suture.
