Silicon coated Polyester Suture is biologically inert, non-absorbable suture. SMB polyester is coated with specially developed silicon for extra smooth surface and non capillary action. The Polyester Braided Sutures meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.) for diameter, knot pull strength and needle detachment strength.

Polyester Surgical Suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Polyester Surgical Suture is not absorbed, nor is any significant change in tensile strength retention known to occur in vivo.

Polyester Suture is indicated for use in Cardiovascular, Ophthalmic procedures and also used in general soft tissue approximation and / or ligation.

Polyester Suture available in USP sizes 5/0 through 1 supplied Green / White sterile in precut lengths both non needled and affixed to various types of atraumatic channel needles in one dozen boxes.

Avoid damage to the surface of suture, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Avoid crushing or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments, such as forceps or needle holders. Adequate knot security requires the accepted surgical techniques of flat, square ties, with additional throws as warranted by surgical circumstances and the experience of the surgeon.

Polyester Suture Silicon coated is sterilized by Gamma Sterilization whereas Polyester Suture with PTFE coating is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilization.
