Description

Ti-Cron™ braided polyester sutures are nonabsorbable, 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. Ti-Cron™ braided sutures are available coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, thereby enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties. Ti-Cron™ sutures are inert and elicit only minimal local tissue reaction. Ti-Cron™ sutures are available dyed with D&C Blue No. 6 colorant or undyed (white).

Ti-Cron™ sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) for nonabsorbable surgical sutures.

These sutures meet USP specifications for tensile strength¹

More slip resistance than the competition²
Greater knot security than the competition²
Long-term wound support³

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