UNSPSC 42312208: Suture removers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument used in the removal of a stitch or row of stitches holding together the edges of a wound or surgical incision in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42312208 Suture removers (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity associated with this code. The source records show six recent opportunities spanning medical supplies, underground utility locating, irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, irrigation system infrastructure, and disaster debris removal—none of which involve suture removers or related surgical instruments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding at the issuing-body level or a data quality issue in the source material. No procurement opportunities for suture removers or similar surgical removal instruments appear in the recent state and local records.

The divergence between code definition and observed activity makes this code unreliable as a purchasing signal for suture removal equipment or related surgical supplies. If your firm supplies suture removers or comparable surgical instruments to state and local health systems, direct outreach to procurement offices at state health departments, state-supported living centers, and hospital systems will be more effective than monitoring this UNSPSC category. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity.
