About the Suture devices category
Suture devices are the materials used to close wounds and approximate tissue — absorbable and non-absorbable sutures, surgical staples and clips, and tissue-closure accessories. They are implantable by nature, so under MDR Rule 8 they routinely reach Class IIb, and an absorbable suture that breaks down inside the body is a textbook IIb example. This is a mature, standards-driven category where biocompatibility and tensile-strength data dominate the technical file.
Common questions
What is included in EMDN category H?
Category H covers surgical sutures (both absorbable and non-absorbable), staples, clips and other tissue-closure products used to bring wound edges together during and after surgery.
Why is an absorbable suture usually Class IIb?
Sutures are implantable and stay in contact with tissue, so MDR Rule 8 applies; an absorbable suture remains long-term and is resorbed by the body, which places it in Class IIb rather than a lower class.
