Company Profile

History: Manufacturer of sterile surgical sutures and knives
Assut sutures have been on the world-market for a number of decades. They first became known as Sutramed Sutures, then Astra Sutures and finally Assut sutures.

The production in Switzerland started in 1961 and has since continued to evolve to match the constantly changing and ever-increasing challenges of surgical requirements.

Modern surgery and new wound healing techniques require a constant re-evaluation and modification of our range of sutures.

As a company with a long history providing surgical products of highest quality, you can count on a team of dedicated Technicians and Personnel.
