Biotechnology - Worcester, Massachusetts, United States
Founded in 2012, VitaThreads, LLC is committed to revolutionizing wound closure through its proprietary fibrin microthread technology. Fibrin, a natural substance which occurs during the wound healing process, is rapidly and readily absorbed by the body. VitaThreads leverages the unique mechanical strength of fibrin microthreads in concert with timely, clean absorption in its flagship product, VitaSuture. VitaSuture empowers clinicians seeking an ideal aesthetic result to close skin incisions with confidence. VitaSuture is absorbed within a few weeks instead of persisting for the months typical of most current absorbable sutures. As a result, VitaSuture allows the body to return quickly to a natural state without the prolonged presence of suture material and the complications associated with long suture persistence. VitaThreads will initially target the aesthetic and reconstructive surgery markets, where high-visibility procedures require an uncompromising attention to the closure solution. Clinicians and patients seeking an ideal post-operative appearance and experience will find their answer in VitaSuture.
