Riverpoint 300™ Premium Suture Needles

Our needles are made from a proprietary steel blend which is mechanically processed to make the material harder while still retaining high tensile strength. This enables the needles to have very sharp points and great durability while maintaining their flexibility. This same steel blend in our needles is used in the demanding human cardiac and plastic surgery areas where it has displaced more conventional needles.

Reverse Cutting VISIPRO™ Polypropylene (Comparable to Fluorofil****)

We have been very happy with the Riverpoint VisiPro™ sutures. They are easy to see on brown horses and work really well for tarsorrhaphies in terms of visibility.We do a lot of arthroscopies and the Riverpoint VisiPro™ makes it much easier for us to see the sutures at bandage changes.Overall Riverpoint VisiPro™ sutures save time for us as they are easily visible and there is less chance of missing sutures at removal time.Dr Madelein Taylor, Darling Down Veterinary Hospital, Oakey
