NON-ABSORBABLE SUTURES VIDU · CERTIFIED NEUTRAL PLASTIC · ZERO PLASTIC FOOTPRINT

Dental sutures are not recyclable, as they have been used in the mouth and are considered contaminated material due to potential biological risk. VIDU works to always offer the most responsible solution and, while maintaining the necessary hygienic qualities in the clinic, always seeks a balance between fair price and caring for the planet.

In the case of sutures, while Vidu works on researching alternative solutions, they have reached an agreement with RePurpose, an organization that has developed the largest certified network of plastic collection projects worldwide, under which they collect through the New Cycle project in Colombia the same amount of plastic that they generate.
