Why procurement teams choose us

Built for importers, tenders and OEM brands.

We supply the product and the paperwork that keeps your registration, tender bid and hospital audit moving.

Registration-ready dossiers

Declaration of Conformity, CE and ISO certificates, Free Sale Certificate, CoA, biocompatibility and sterility validation reports issued with the first shipment — not after the audit.

Lead times you can bid on

Catalogue codes typically dispatch in 2–4 weeks; private-label programmes in 5–7 weeks after artwork sign-off, with buffer stock held for repeat tender volumes.

OEM & private label

Your brand on foil, box and IFU: multi-language leaflets, UDI/GS1 barcodes, custom colour coding and country-specific labelling handled in-house.

Needle & thread configurability

Any combination of USP size, thread length (45–150 cm), needle curvature (1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 circle), point geometry and armed/double-armed format.

Validated sterility & shelf life

Ethylene-oxide cycles validated to a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶, residual limits per ISO 10993-7, and real-time plus accelerated ageing supporting a 5-year shelf life.

Batch-level accountability

Each lot links polymer batch, needle lot, coating record, sterilisation cycle and release test data — retrievable for 11 years for post-market surveillance.

Manufacturing & chain of custody

One facility, from polymer pellet to sterile foil.

Extrusion, braiding, coating, precision needle swaging, laser drilling, ethylene-oxide sterilisation and final packing all run inside our Bengaluru plant. Because no step is outsourced, we can trace a finished pack back to the polymer lot, the swage pull-out test and the sterilisation cycle chart — and we release nothing that fails USP tensile or needle-attachment limits.

Partner experience

What distributors and OEM brands report.

Feedback collected from long-term import partners after registration, first tender delivery and repeat orders.

★★★★★

“The technical file arrived complete on the first attempt — Declaration of Conformity, CoA, sterility validation. Our ministry registration closed in one review cycle instead of three.”

★★★★★

“We launched a private-label absorbable line in under three months. Artwork, UDI barcodes and four-language IFUs were handled by their regulatory team, not ours.”

★★★★★

“Knot security and needle sharpness stayed consistent lot after lot across three tender deliveries — that consistency is what keeps our surgeons specifying the brand.”

Buyer questions

Suture sourcing, answered directly.

The questions our export desk receives most often from importers, tender agents and OEM brands.

What does Suture Planet manufacture?
Surgical wound-closure devices: absorbable sutures (polyglactin 910, polyglycolic acid, poliglecaprone 25, polydioxanone and catgut), non-absorbable sutures (polypropylene, nylon/polyamide, black braided silk, polyester, UHMWPE and PTFE), barbed knotless sutures, triclosan antibacterial sutures, polypropylene and composite hernia mesh, skin staplers, absorbable hemostats (ORC), bone wax and ligation clips.
Where are the products made and how traceable is production?
All manufacturing takes place at our Bengaluru, Karnataka facility in India. Extrusion, braiding, coating, needle swaging, ethylene-oxide sterilisation and sterile packaging run under one roof, so each finished carton carries a lot number that resolves to the polymer batch, needle lot, coating record, sterilisation cycle chart and final release test data.
Which certifications support product registration in my country?
Manufacturing runs under ISO 13485:2016 with CE / EU MDR 2017/745 technical files, ISO 9001:2015 and WHO-GMP. Registration packs typically include the Declaration of Conformity, CE and ISO certificates, Free Sale Certificate, market-standing certificate, Certificate of Analysis, biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series) and sterilisation validation reports, IFUs and label artwork — with notarisation or legalisation arranged on request.
Do you offer OEM and private-label suture manufacturing?
Yes. Any needle-and-thread combination can be built to your specification: USP size, thread length, needle curvature and point geometry, colour coding, foil and box artwork, UDI/GS1 barcodes and multi-language IFUs. Minimum quantities are agreed per family, and packaging plates are retained so repeat orders ship faster.
What are typical minimum order quantities and lead times?
Standard catalogue codes usually dispatch within 2–4 weeks of order confirmation. Private-label and OEM programmes take 5–7 weeks for the first batch, mainly for artwork approval and print tooling; repeat batches are shorter. Consolidated mixed-SKU containers are supported for tender deliveries.
How are sterility and shelf life assured?
Sutures are sealed in an aluminium foil primary pack inside a printed peel-open envelope and sterilised by validated ethylene oxide to a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶, with residuals controlled to ISO 10993-7. Real-time and accelerated ageing studies support a typical five-year shelf life when stored below 25 °C, dry and away from direct sunlight.
Which suture should I select for skin closure versus fascia?
For dermal and subcuticular closure, monofilament poliglecaprone 25 (low drag, 50–60% strength at 7 days) or rapid polyglactin 910 minimises track marks and suture removal. For fascia and abdominal-wall closure, monofilament polydioxanone offers extended support (about 50% retention at 4 weeks, absorbed in 180–210 days) or polypropylene where permanent support is preferred. Our technical team will confirm sizes and needles for your surgeons' protocol.
