The Ethicon Endo-Surgery Suture Assistant simplifies laparoscopic suturing by eliminating the knot tying process. The patented pre-tied knot deliver system is simple and reliable. All it takes is a push of a button. The knot is secure, as it is equivalent to five alternating half-stitches. The system also offers versatility since it is compatible with both non-absorbable and absorbable suture materials. The tool is reloadable with up to 10 reloads.
