Emergency Suture

The Emergency Suture can be a life saving piece of survival equipment if used properly. Its use should not be taken lightly and the user should prepare by having knowledge of proper suturing procedures. This suture should NEVER be used when proper medical help is available. Our Sterile Emergency Sutures include a 3/8 cutting needle and 18" of nylon, black, monofilament, non absorbable sterile thread. Each Emergency Suture comes individually wrapped and sterile. Best Glide ASE offers, in our opinion, the three most popular and useful suture sizes for a survival situation. These are the 2-0 (largest), 3-0 (next smaller size) and the 4-0 (most popular).
