Polypropylene
Polypropylene Surgical Sutures are non-absorbable monofilament threads recognized by their distinctive blue color, offering smooth tissue passage and minimal bacterial wicking compared to braided alternatives. The monofilament structure reduces capillarity and tissue drag, making polypropylene ideal for cardiovascular, neurological, and plastic reconstructive procedures where permanent support and low tissue reactivity are essential. Available in fine to heavy USP sizes with precision needle attachments, these sutures deliver consistent knot security and long-term tensile strength for demanding surgical applications.
Product Overview
Polypropylene Sutures are synthetic non-absorbable monofilament sutures made from isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. The blue color facilitates visual identification against tissue and surgical drapes.
