Silk Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures

• Monofilament Nylon is indicated in cardiovascular surgery; general surgery, plastic surgery, microsurgery, thoracic surgery, ophthalmology, gastrointestinal, orthopedic surgery, urology, general closure, cuticular, and retention.
• It is a surgical suture highly recommended for skin closure procedures, for situations in which it is required tissue reaction, and is very useful in case of presence of infection.
• Monofilament Nylon is a suitable material where considerable resistance for long period of time is required (tendons, ligaments, etc.).

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 By not adhering to the tissues, this synthetic suture is also ideal in areas which it must be subsequently withdrawn from (skin).

Excellent tissue penetration Sharpness after multiple stitches High stability passing through tissue High bending strength resistance Excellent grip to the needle holder
