Product OverviewMonofilament polypropylene suture designed for durable soft-tissue approximation and wound closure across multiple surgical specialties. Low bacterial adherence makes it suitable for use in potentially contaminated fields.
Description- Non-absorbable sterile monofilament composed of polypropylene; available dyed (navy blue) or undyed.
- Offered in sizes from USP 5-0 to USP 1, in various lengths and supplied with or without needles. Manufactured to meet USP and EP standards.
- Sterilized by ethylene oxide (ETO) and supplied sterile.
Features- High tensile strength and long-term durability to maintain tissue support during healing.
- Low tissue drag and smooth surface reduce trauma and promote precise wound approximation.
- Monofilament structure minimizes bacterial colonization, appropriate for contaminated or infected sites.
- Versatile across general, cardiovascular, plastic, orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures for soft tissue approximation, skin closure, hernia repair and aponeurosis repair.
Technical DataHighly smooth surface requires less force to pass through tissue. Chemically inert and resistant to degradation in the presence of body fluids or infection. Handles well for easy placement and removal; monofilament construction avoids interstices that can harbor micro-organisms.
