Maxima ® b y HENRY SCHEIN ® HENRY SCHEIN MAXIMA SUTURE PRODUCTS Best value sutures The Henry Schein Maxima Suture Line, launched in 2016, was created to give veterinarians an economical, high quality line of sutures. Our approach is to offer suture products that are as similar as possible to the products most widely used by veterinarians and to offer them at an affordable price. All sutures are manufactured in the USA by a leading high quality suture manufacturer, all the needles are manufactured in Japan by a world leading needle manufacturer. Quality products • The Henry Schein Maxima sutures meet or exceed the current USP standards and industry standards for sutures and other medical devices. • The suture materials and needles used in all Henry Schein Maxima sutures are also used in the human market in demanding applications such as cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery orthopedics and dentistry. • Our suture material is recognized as having a smooth feel and consistent thickness according to USP standards. • All swaged sutures are packaged to minimize the “memory” of the suture material, making it easier to handle and tie. Most of the residual “memory” can be eliminated by holding each end of the suture and giving it a little tug. • All suture needles have a hole drilled into the back end of the needle in which the suture is inserted and the needle swaged. This prevents any sharp edges or distortions at the end of the needle. • All suture needles utilize 300 Series Stainless Steel which is less likely to fracture during use. • All sutures are manufactured under quality system regulations according to ISO13485 and are CE mark (where applicable).
