POLYPROPYLENE MONOFILAMENT
Nonabsorbable Medical Surgical Polypropylene Monofilament Suture
Polypropylene sutures are monofilament sutures of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable and provide permanent wound support.
Feature:
Rigid enough to prevent bending or distortion with some flexibility to bend before breaking, as the greater needle strength prevent tissue trauma.
High sharpness to ensure easy and rapid tissue penetration.
Good structure to easy retrieve the needle from tissue in order to reduce tissue injury.
Smooth profile, so the needle is coated with silicon to reduce friction, facilitate penetration and give more glide.
Sterile, and corrosion resistant to prevent microorganism and foreign material of making any contamination to the wound.
Appropriate to grasp by surgical equipment like needle holder or forceps Particularly surgical needles should manufacture as slim as possible with a good strength to provide high quality and all of surgical criteria.
