In the early 20th century, the company, founded by Carl Wiessner, began mass production of sterile catgut. However, the real breakthrough came with the 1961 merger of WIESSNER and SERAG. Thanks to the new factory complex built in Naila, SERAG-WIESSNER has started to develop dynamically.
Today, SERAG-WIESSNER manufactures a number of materials used in medicine: textile implants, infusion solutions, and wound cleansers can also be found in the portfolio. The company has also become a world-renowned manufacturer of sutures used in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
