Surgical Sutures

CHROMIC CATGUT (CC)?ABSORBABLE SURGICAL SUTURES WITH / WITHOUT NEEDLES Absorbable Suture with Needle or without Needle

Stainless steel wire (sw)?non-absorbable surgical sutures with / without needles

Synthetic, non-absorbable, monofilament suture with needle or without needle

Very high tensile strength initially Used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Excellent knot security and high pliability Very low incidence of infection and trauma Smooth tissue passage as it is monofilament Reliable absorption High in vivo strength retention

Polydioxanone suture is a synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture.
Polydioxanone sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0. Sutures are available in violet colour.
Polydioxanone sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone.
Polydioxanone sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
Polydioxanone sutures retain about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% of the initial tensile strength after 4 weeks and 25% after 6 weeks of implantation and the suture is essentially absorbed within 180 days.

The Polypropylene synthetic surgical suture is indicated in general closure, herniorrhaphy, plastic / reconstructive surgery, urology and pediatrics. In addition, Polypropylene is particularly useful in cardiovascular surgery, especially as it is non-thrombogenic, and supporting the heart?s propulsion. By not adhering to the tissues, this synthetic suture is also ideal in areas which it must be subsequently withdrawn from (skin).
