Polypropylene Monofilament Sutures
International quality
polypropylene monofilament sutures for the most delicate speciality
procedures.
Virtues
The strong, smooth, pliable SMB polypropylene suture provides superior handling, accurate knot placement and knot security with less throws. SMB Polypropylene a Versatile Monofilament, the suture of choice
Virtues
The strong, smooth, pliable SMB polypropylene suture provides superior handling, accurate knot placement and knot security with less throws. SMB Polypropylene a Versatile Monofilament, the suture of choice
- Reasonable Elasticity
- High degree of smoothness
- Highly visible in the wound
- Passes through tissue easily
- Increased suppleness and pliability
- Completely inert and non-capillary with minimal tissue reaction
- Uniform diameter with high tensile strength resists breakage
- Soft, supple material reduces memory and improves handling
- Strength plus suppleness results in greater knot security with fewer throws, less dispensing memory and improved handling characteristics
Material
Synthetic, Polypropylene
Monofilament Suture is a Non-absorbable Surgical Suture. Blue colored
for easy identification during Surgery. Polypropylene Monofilament
surgical suture meets all the requirements established by the United
States Pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.) for diameter, knot pull strength and
needle detachment strength.
SMB Polypropylene Monofilament Sutures packed in straight configuration tyvek pouches for offering minimal memory.
SMB Polypropylene Monofilament Needled Sutures show 50% more knot pull strength and needle detachment strength than limits specified for Class I sutures as per current USP.

Tissue Reaction
Minimal tissue reaction. Does not
support any infection. As a monofilament, it has no interstices to
support bacterial growth. It is unwetted by blood, unweakened by tissue
enzymes, offers prolonged tensile strength even in infected areas.
Applications
Polypropylene Monofilament is
indicated for use in Cardiovascular, Ophthalmic, General Closure,
Orthopedics, Plastic and Microsurgeries, soft tissue approximation and,
or ligation. The suture is highly visible in the wound. The lack of
adherence to tissues has facilitated the use of SMB Polypropylene suture
as a pull out suture.
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.
Warnings
As with any foreign body,prolonged
contact of this or any other suture with salt solutions, such as those
found in the urinary or biliary tracts, may result in calculus
formation.Users should be familiar with surgical procedures and
techniques involving non absorbable sutures before employing
Polypropylene Monofilament surgical suture for wound closure as risk of
wound dehiscence may vary with the site of application and the suture
material used. Acceptable surgical practice should be followed with
respect to drainage and closure of contaminated or infected wounds.
Abstract
Polypropylene Monofilament suture
has evolved as the standard suture for the majority of cardiovascular
procedures. This suture is known for low tissue drag, easy handling and
good strength.
Sterilization
By Ethylene Oxide Gas Sterilization.
