Langeskov, Denmark (May 4, 2016) – Suturing is a part of the daily life in all veterinary practices - and the quality of sutures and needles is of utmost importance to the veterinarian. In 2012 KRUUSE introduced a complete range of sutures and needles that are specifically tailored to the needs of the veterinary market. “We developed this line of sutures with the help of our own customers,” says Lars Lund KRUUSE Sales Director Americas. “This complete suture range was extensively tested by 56 vets in 13 countries with what can only be called excellent test results.” Using feedback from KRUUSE customers, it was determined that the ideal suture would have high and consistent quality, be available at an affordable price, be easy to work with and meet the needs of every surgery operating on a small rodent to a large horse. Using this knowledge KRUUSE worked hard to achieve these goals so that the final product would live up to the requirements of their customers. Dr. Caryn Plummer is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist working in academic medicine at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Plummer first heard about KRUUSE sutures while at the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando, where she received free samples. After using the sutures (5-0 silk, 6-0, 7-0 and 8-0 sacryl) during wet labs for conjunctival and corneal grafts as well as adnexal surgeries, Plummer observed that “the length and strength of the sutures was really appealing as was the quality of the needles.” Aware that sutures can be expensive to purchase, Plummer said, “the KRUUSE sutures are great quality for an affordable price and I would definitely recommend them to my veterinary colleagues.” KRUUSE’s sutures and needles are produced in a manufacturing facility with over 10 years experience in the human medical product market. This manufacturer produces over 1.3 million needles per month and 500,000 sterile suture peel packs per month all produced under the strictest quality control. As a result KRUUSE sutures and needles provide vets with the highest in consistency and quality. KRUUSE is able to offer the highest quality at competitive prices. These sutures are comparable to well-known market leaders, but at a lower price. But besides price and quality these sutures and needles are easy to work with. Where many other needles will break when strong force is applied, KRUUSE needles simply bend and then return to their original shape. For further ease of use, KRUUSE provides easy to understand labeling. Packaging clearly shows name, size, length and color of sutures as well as the type and size of the needle meaning it is not necessary to memorize product codes to choose the correct needle and suture. In addition the image of the needle is shown in actual size and internationally known needle symbols are clearly indicated. “We are always trying to improve our sutures through feedback from our customers,” added Lund. “When we launched our new suture range in 2012 there were 160 catalog numbers. Two years later there were 345 catalog numbers meaning that we added 185 new sutures that were initiated at customer request. We listen to what our clients want and we always have new plans for product expansion.” About KRUUSE JØRGEN KRUUSE A/S has a long history in the veterinary business.
