With "plastic times" approached the end of the tipping bottles.

The content, however, was revolutionary: PERLON! The development of modern medical sutures and ligatures had begun shortly before the outbreak of World War II with the discovery of polyamide 6 (Perlon) - a substance that became famous in the context of tights.

The ever thinning threads and the stepless - "atraumatic" - connection of needle and thread allow the surgeon today, his masterful "business card" - as such is still the visible scar in many patients - left on the patient.
