Features
- Non-absorbable:
- The suture provides long-term wound support and is not broken down by the body
- Monofilament:
- The polypropylene material is a single filament, which is smooth and passes through tissue easily with minimal drag
- High tensile strength:
- The suture offers excellent and consistent tensile strength, ensuring durable support for critical surgical applications
- Secure knots:
- The viscoelastic properties of the thread enhance knot security
- Precision DSM19 needle:
- The 18mm, 3/8 circle, reverse cutting DSM19 needle is honed to a unique multi-edged point for greater ease of penetration
- Seamless attachment:
- The needle is drilled for a smooth, seamless junction with the suture, reducing tissue disruption during passage
