Strong, Long Lasting Polyester Braided Sutures with PTFE Coating.

VIRTUES
SMB Polyester braided sutures with PTFE coating offers utmost lubricity.

MATERIAL
The unique PTFE coating and impregnation process helps to reduce "dead space" in the braid, rendering the suture material virtually inert and reducing the risk of wicking and tissue reactivity, while providing superior lubricity. Polyester Braided Sutures with PTFE Coating is available in White and Green color.

International quality braided polyester suture silicon coated.

VIRTUES

MATERIAL
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.

Braided Polyester Suture Silicon Coated / PTFE Coated

TISSUE REACTION
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.

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

CHOICE
Polypropylene 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.

CAUTION
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.

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