OKCEL® Oxidized Resorbable Cellulose rapidly stops bleeding by acting as a matrix for the formation of a clot and is suitable for wound healing. It protects against infection and promotes tissue regeneration.

OKCEL is a biodegradable, bioresorbable and biocompatible polymer with no adverse reaction to the body. It is important for a wide range of medical applications specifically because of it’s bactericidal effect against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms and it’s powerful healing effect.

Okcel can be used in both human and veterinary medicine. It can also be used for preparing combined materials for chronic wound treatment, for surgical treatment, as a carrier for drugs, and as a bioresorbable membrane (matrix) in regenerative surgery.

Cutanplast® sterile re-absorbable haemostatic gelatin

Cutanplast® is a sterile re-absorbable gelatin sponge with a powerful haemostatic effect: the porous surface of the gelatin activates the enzymatic cascade, leading to natural coagulation.

Uniplex offer a range of Cutanplast® products.

 

MITSUTM

MITSUTM is a mid-term absorbable braided and coated synthetic suture made of poly (glycolide-co-l-lactide)(90/10). MITSUTM degrades by hydrolysis and assures predictable and reliable absorption. 

Made from copolymer of 90% glycolide & 10% lactide, MITSUTM(Polyglactin 910) suture is available as dyed and undyed. MITSUTM contains only FDA approved colour additives. The suture coating is a mixture composed of copolymer of glycolide and lactide (Polyglactin 370) and Calcium stearate.

 

FILASILKTM

FILASILKTM is a non-absorbable braided and coated suture, made of natural silk filaments. FILASILKTM is basically indicated for applications where surgical practice is to employ non-absorbable suture material. FILASILKTM is available in black.

 

Instrument Cleaning Brushes

With the constraints of disinfection procedures and complexity of medical devices (materials, architecture), LTA Medical are constantly innovating by developing a more qualitative range of brushes.

Our range

We offer a full range of brushes and swabs for cleaning medical devices, which do not cause micro scratching.

For internal cleaning of all hollow channels, we offer a wide range of brushes with a very wide range of diameters.

For external cleaning of medical devices, our brushes are ergonomically designed for comfort and adapted to different types of medical devices (orthopedics, neurosurgery).

Brushes (Reusable and Autoclavable)

LTA Medical is the only manufacturer ensuring durability, warranty of use and held for use, during washing and autoclaves mode.

 

FILAMIDETM 

FILAMIDETM is a non-absorbable synthetic monofilament suture made of polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 (dyed black). FILAMIDETM black is used for microsurgical and ophthalmic purposes. 

As with any polyamide suture, though not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the suture may result in gradual loss of its tensile strength over time.
