Key Features

  • Nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament - retains tensile strength indefinitely in tissue without degradation, making it ideal for permanent closure.
  • Non-adherent to tissue - polypropylene surface slides smoothly through tissue with minimal drag, ideal for skin closure and pull-out suture techniques.
  • Excellent knot security - blue dye enhances visibility of suture and knots in the surgical field during placement and inspection.
  • Biologically inert - polypropylene is highly biocompatible with minimal tissue reactivity, reducing the risk of suture-related inflammation.
  • Consistent monofilament diameter - uniform strand ensures predictable tensile strength and passage through tissue across each size.
  • Taper Point Needle Design - penetrates tissue by separating fibers rather than cutting, reducing tissue trauma and the risk of tearing during placement.
