PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR COATING SURGICAL SUTURES

The invention is concerned with a process and apparatus for coating sutures. A suture is contacted with an initial coating mixture to provide a wet coated suture. The wet coated suture is removed from the initial coating mixture while preventing at least part of the excess coating mixture on the wet...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention is concerned with a process and apparatus for coating sutures. A suture is contacted with an initial coating mixture to provide a wet coated suture. The wet coated suture is removed from the initial coating mixture while preventing at least part of the excess coating mixture on the wet coated suture from contacting the initial coating mixture, thereby maintaining the initial coating mixture at a substantially constant concentration. The wet coated suture is then dried to provide a coated suture. The invention is particularly useful for coating surgical ligatures.
