Suture Tipping and Cutting Machines

An Innovative Approach to Suture Tipping and Cutting Machines

Unlike other suture tipping and suture cutting machines that are built overseas, Live Automation has developed an innovative design and cost-effective solution to building and maintaining machines that handle post-suture manufacturing finishing processes. Regardless of the suture types - implantable, absorbable, non-absorbable, customized, and special suture sets – or suture material - nylon, polyester, polyglycolic acid or other glycolide polymers – our suture cutter machine and suture tipping machine provide a stable, quality solution that can be operated and maintained with ease.
