Here's what our customers have said:
"In April this year (2024), I had the privilege of leading a trip to neuter beach and street dogs on the island of Sal, Cape Verde. We experienced patients with new and exotic diseases and were challenged with the surgical conditions available. During these challenges, it was fantastic to have the reliability of Vitrex Suture materials which performed fantastically, providing me with confidence during surgeries. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."
