SMI SUTURES SMI & Bydand - A Quality Partnership SMI AG was established in 1987 - the first Belgian company manufacturing surgical sutures, since then it has grown rapidly. Today it is recognised as a worldwide supplier of premium surgical sutures.
d security n a y t it li a u q r o F
Bydand Medical is proud to be the exclusive importer of SMI products to Australia and New Zealand.
Highest Quality & Security Since inception SMI has always applied international standards of quality like EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485 as well as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) procedures. All materials used, as well as finished products are subject to all aspects of quality control by a dedicated team headed by an industrial pharmacist. Quality and security of the surgical sutures are thus assured and guaranteed.
Worldwide Recognition SMI exports to over 55 countries, constituting 75% of the turnover of the company. In recognition of this achievement SMI was awarded the prestigious Belgian Royal Export Award and Wallonia AWEX Award.
SUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Tissue Type
Min. suture tissue retention Helpful Tips & Guidelines in days
SKIN i. Percutaneous (Transcutaneous)
7 - 12
Suture should be tied loosely to barely appose wound edges or postoperative swelling may cause the suture to become too tight.
ii. Intracutaneous
7 - 12
A continuous suture technique is recommended. Reduces scarring and possible postoperative infection.
i. Abdominal Wall (Aponeurosis & Fascia)
> 18
Due to slower healing rate and poor blood perfusion a longer term suture material should be used in this tissue.
ii. Mucosa
3-5
Tissue exhibits fast healing characteristics. Sutures that have short term tensile strength preservation and rapid absorption are recommended.
iii. Serosa
7 - 14
It is important that these sutures include the submucous connective tissue layer which provides the strength of the intestinal wall.
ORAL CAVITY
5-7
Tissue exhibits fast healing characteristics. Where possible use sutures that have short term tensile strength preservation and rapid absorption.
URINARY/BLADDER
7 - 14
Monofilament sutures with pH neutral degradation are indicated for use in this tissue.
10 - 16
Tissue with good healing characteristics. Sutures that have low tissue reactivity are most suitable.
GASTRO-INTESTINAL
OB/GYN i. Uterus
ii. Vaginal Mucosa
3-5
Tissue exhibits fast healing characteristics. Sutures that have short term tensile strength preservation and rapid absorption are recommended.
i. Synovial Capsule
> 28
Slow healing. Reactivity to nonabsorbables is a problem here.
ii. Fibrous Capsule
> 35
Slow healing and great strain make nonabsorbables preferable but not polypropylene as it will tend to elongate over time.
iii. Tendon/Ligament
> 35
Suture material with high inital tensile strength. Be aware of possible material elongation over time.
> 18
A tissue that is not particularly stress resistant. Recommend sutures with good handling properties that are tied loosely.

NEEDLE TYPES
Round Bodied (taper point) • • •
A round bodied needle that gradually tapers to a fine point for tissue preserving penetration. Needle body is flattened to improve stability in the needle holder. Ideal design for use in soft tissues.
• • •
A balanced, cutting point that tapers into a round bodied needle. Needle body is flattened to improve stability in the needle holder. Ideal design for use in soft tissues.
•
A triangular cross section needle with a third cutting edge on the outside of the needle curvature. Allows easy penetration and passage through tough tissues.
Tapercut Point
Reverse Cutting •
EASYPASS Precision Point Reverse Cutting • • • • • • •
Ultra sharp point Two sides sharpened extra fine Superior penetration performance Needle alloy offers a unique combination of strength and ductility Ultra smooth finishing process and reduced needle mass design minimises the penetration force required . Flattened body design improves stability in needle holder enchancing control and placement. For superior performance and cosmetic results when performing skin closures.
MORE ON EASYPASS ON OPPOSITE PAGE
Spatula Side Cutting • • •
Cutting edges on the two sides of the needle to promote shallow passage through tissues. Reduces the risk of unintentional injury of deeper tissue layers. Ideal design for fine ophthalmic work.

• Combination of needle alloy and maraging offers a unique combination of strength and ductility • Excellent resistance to bending and breaking • Needles remain sharp longer
Penetration performance improved by 40%- 50% compared to standard cutting needles.
• Silicone coating over entire needle • Ultra smooth finishing process and reduced needle mass design minimises the penetration force required • Flattened body design improves stability in needle holder enchancing control and placement

Intraocular Prostheses The enucleation of an eye is always a traumatic experience, perhaps more so for the owners of our patients than for the animals themselves. In performing the surgery, part of our responsibility is to create as good a postsurgical appearance as possible. Cosmetics ARE important. Most enucleations performed on horses, dogs and cats are done using the transpalpebral technique. To be esthetically successful, this method requires the placement of some type of orbital implant. Otherwise, a marked indentation or dimpling will occur. VOS has developed a line of silicone implants. A conforming equine model is available for intraorbital use only. Because of the unique configuration of the equine orbit, this implant is superior to simple round models. The small animal implants are all spheres and are available in 12 sizes. Their dark color makes them suitable for either intraorbital implantation following an enucleation or intrascleral implantation following the evisceration of the globe. Silicone Implants for Small Animals
(image not to scale)
•Suitable for both intrascleral and intraorbital use. •Lightweight and easily sterilized by autoclaving. •Dark brown or black, with glossy finish.

Carter Sphere Introducer The Carter sphere introducer was described by Brightman, et. al. in the 1977 article in the J.A.A.H.A. titled Intraocular Prosthesis in the Dog. This procedure remains popular with many veterinary ophthalmologists today. This stainless steel intrument simplifies holding silicone balls and implanting them within the sclera.
