Disposable Surgical suture

Non-Absorbable Sutures

Polyyester(PB)
Synthetic, Non-absorbable, Braided Suture with Needle or without needle

POLYESTER
(Non Absorbable Suture)


Synthetic non-absorbable multifilament braided suture.
Green or White color.
Polyester composite of terephthalate with or without cover.
Because of its non-absorbable synthetic origin, it has a minimum tissue reactivity, and it is in time encapsulated by connective tissue.
Used in tissue coaptation because of its characteristic
Tensile strength.
Color code: Orange label.
Frequently used in different specialties including cardiovascular and ophthalmic because of its resistance to repeated bending.

CHARACTERISTICS POLYESTER

The Rockwell hardness of the needle assembled in Polyester is higher than the one of the conventional needles,
Which provides an excellent penetration easing the way through calcified tissues or atheronatous plates.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS


Synthetic origin. INERT. Minimum tissue reaction.
Multifilament. Superior tensile strength.
Excellent handling and firm and knot security.
Non absorbable. Extended tissue support.
Green or white color. Good visibility in the surgical field.
Resistance to repeated bending. Ideal for use in Cardiovascular Surgery (heart prostheses).
Excellent creep. Adequate coupling of the knot providing knot security.
Tight packing. We assure the tightness and sterility of the product.
Needle protection support. Protection to the needle (body and tip).
Precise sharpness needles, for high specialization. Excellent tissue penetration, minimizing the trauma.
The Rockwell hardness of the needle assembled in Polyester is higher than the one of the conventional needles, which provides an excellent penetration easing the way through calcified tissues or atheronatous plates.

INDICATIONS

It is indicated in procedures where the use of a synthetic braided and non absorbable suture is recomended.

These include: Cardiovascular Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Ophthalmic Surgery and General Surgery.

Note: The surgeon can reliably used it all those procedures where a non absorbalbe and multi-threaded suture of high tensil strength is recommended; Provided that the surgeon knows the characteristics, benefits and limitations of this suture material and uses good surgical practices.
