2 Phoenix Select The Racetrack Phoenix Select is a brand of racetrackwound swaged sutures from Phoenix. The larger racetrack design gives the suture fewer turns around the track and allows for less memory in the suture, making wound closure faster, easier and more effi cient.. Label card: Adhesive-free and clipped in place, reducing contamination, tugging and tangling of the suture. 2. Larger racetrack design: Fewer turns allow even less memory than other marketed sutures. 3. Longer length: 30- and 36-inch lengths provide more suture for your money. 4. park: For added needle security. 5. Synthetic label card: Fewer particulates than paper cards, reducing the chance of surgical suite contamination from particulate matter. 6. Trusted brand: Offering the same great quality products at a fraction of the cost.

Razor Point needle technology: Keeps needle sharp from first pass to last series stainless steel: Sharper, more ductile and more bendable without breaking. 3. Electropolished and coated with silicon: Allows for a smoother, slicker surface to reduce tugging and dragging. 4. Less force: Phoenix suture needles use less force than the industry leader s needles for the top three needles used in the veterinary industry. 5. Hand crimped: Suture and needle are swaged with drilled needles, which allows a smooth transition between the needle and the suture and minimizes tissue damage.
