Overview
Premisut POLYESTER suture is a sterile, synthetic, multifilament braided and silicone-coated non-absorbable surgical suture manufactured from fine filaments of poly(ethylene terephthalate). The braided construction yields a firm yet flexible suture with excellent knot security. Available undyed or dyed green with D&C Green No.6. Optional PTFE pledgets can be supplied to increase load-bearing area between suture and tissue.

Intended use
Premisut POLYESTER is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery where a permanent, non-absorbable suture is required.

Product features and behaviour

• Braided multifilament structure provides secure knots and good handling.
• Silicone coating improves lubrication for smoother passage through tissue and easier knot tying.
• Soft and pliable for controlled tissue approximation.
• Minimal initial inflammatory response followed by fibrous encapsulation.
• Non-absorbable and resistant to enzymatic degradation or weakening.
• Suitable for use in tissues where low biological reactivity is desired.
• Optional PTFE pledgets available to distribute load and protect tissue.
