Nonabsorbable Sutures

Dermalon™ monofilament nylon sutures are inert, non-absorbable, sterile surgical sutures, which are available dyed blue to provide visibility compared to other nylon sutures.

Dermalon™ sutures are used in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Monosof™ monofilament nylon sutures are inert, non-absorbable, sterile surgical sutures, which are available either dyed black, with Logwood extract, or undyed (clear).

Monosof™ sutures are used in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological surgery and microsurgery.

Surgilon™ braided nylon sutures are non-absorbable surgical sutures composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6.

Surgilon™ sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Surgidac™ polyester sutures are non-absorbable, sterile, surgical sutures composed of Polyethylene Terephthalate. They are prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. The braided sutures are available uncoated. Surgidac™ polyester sutures are inert and elicit only minimal local tissue reaction. They are available dyed with D&C Green No. 6 colorant and are also available undyed (white).

Surgidac™ sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery.

Ti-Cron™ polyester sutures are non-absorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of polyethylene terephthalate. These braided sutures are available uncoated or coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties.

Ti-Cron™ sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery.

Uncoated Surgipro™ sutures (clear or pigmented) are inert, non-absorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (a synthetic linear polyolefin) and polyethylene.

Surgipro™ polypropylene sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neural tissue.

Novafil™ nonabsorbable monofilament surgical sutures are composed of polybutester fiber.

They are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery, but not in microsurgery and neural tissue.

Vascufil™ coated, nonabsorbable, monofilament surgical sutures are composed of polybutester fiber.

Vascufil™ sutures are indicated for use as nonabsorbable sutures in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery, but not in microsurgery and neural tissue.

Sofsilk™ sutures are non-absorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin. The braided sutures are available coated uniformly with either silicone or a special wax mixture.

Sofsilk™ sutures are for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, microsurgery, and neurological surgery.

Uncoated Surgipro™ II sutures (clear or pigmented) are inert, non-absorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and contain polyethylene.

Surgipro™ II sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neural tissue.

Stainless steel sutures are composed of 316L stainless steel conforming to ASTM Standard F138 Grade 2 “Stainless steel bar and wire for surgical implants”. Steel sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, and are not absorbed.

They are indicated for use in abdominal wound closure, intestinal anastomosis, hernia repair, and sternal closure.
