Non-absorbable surgical sutures are designed for **suturing and ligating human tissues** and are used in orthopedic and sports medicine procedures, including rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability repair, acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction, knee collateral ligament reinforcement, and ankle ligament reinforcement. Polyethylene surgical suture is a non-absorbable monofilament suture made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). It is designed for orthopedic and general surgical procedures requiring durable tissue fixation and long-term support. Features • Material: UHMWPE construction provides high tensile strength and durability. • Monofilament Design: Supports smooth passage through tissues and facilitates handling. • Surface Characteristics: The treated surface is designed to support tissue passage. • Knot Security: Designed to facilitate secure knot tying and maintain fixation. • Radiolucency: Does not produce significant radiographic obstruction, supporting postoperative imaging assessment. Advantages • Mechanical Strength: Provides tensile strength for procedures involving sustained mechanical loads. • Tissue Compatibility: Designed for use in contact with human tissues. • Handling: The monofilament structure supports tissue passage and knot tying. • Versatile Applications: Suitable for selected orthopedic and general surgical procedures. • Non-Absorbable Structure: Provides long-term support where absorbable sutures are not intended
