Strong Long Lasting Polyester Braided Sutures with PTFE Coating
Strong, Long Lasting Polyester
Braided Sutures with PTFE Coating.
Virtues
SMB Polyester braided sutures with PTFE coating offers utmost lubricity.
Virtues
SMB Polyester braided sutures with PTFE coating offers utmost lubricity.
- Smoother and stronger than Silk
- Heavy coating also eliminates dead space
- Easy to handle and provokes less tissue reaction
- It is strong inert and compatible with body tissue
- Knots slide smoothly and offers best knot security
- Provides high tensile strength and long lasting support, which is critical in cardiovascular and orthopedic applications.
- Heavy PTFE coating and tight weave provide minimum friction, allowing the suture to pass easily through the most friable tissue
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.
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
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.
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.
