Properties
- Suture size: USP 7/0 - USP5
- Colour: white/white blue/white black/white green
- Chemical composition: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
- Sterilization: ethylene oxide
- Structure: braided
- Extremely strong with outstanding tensile strength
- Flexible and smooth, ensuring easy tissue passage
- Minimal inflammatory reaction, promoting better healing
Applications
UHMWPE sutures are commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, and vascular suturing in hepatobiliary surgery, as well as other surgical procedures requiring non-absorbable sutures.
Features- High-quality needles with sharp tips increase puncture frequency and suturing efficiency.
- Smooth suture body with sharp needle minimizes tissue damage, leaving small puncture marks.
- Strong needle bending resistance and flexibility allow precise control during suturing.
- High tensile strength UHMWPE sutures are rigorously tested for durability.
- The smooth, monofilament structure reduces tissue damage and offers long-lasting durability, making it ideal for cardiovascular surgeries.
- Non-absorbable with minimal tissue reaction, providing long-term safety.
