The CP Medical Polypro® Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Sutures with Taper Point Needles, 3/8 Circle are sterile, synthetic, non absorbable surgical sutures indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
Polypro® Sutures are made of monofilament polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. Polypropylene is characterised by uniform suture diameter, minimal memory, maximum flexibility, reduced fraying, excellent security and strength, and consistent, snug and flattened knots. Being non-absorbable, Polypro® Sutures do not exhibit any significant change in strength retention, in vivo. CP Medical Polypro® Sutures are equivalent to Ethicon® PROLENE®, Look® Polypropylene, Sharpoint® Polypropylene, and Covidien® Surgilene®.
These Polypropylene sutures are dyed blue, and are available in various suture sizes. Sizes 3-0 and 4-0 are for closure of muscle layers or bowel repair; 6-0 and 7-0 are used in vascular graft sewing, and size 8-0 is for ophthalmic surgeries and repair of small, damaged nerves.
These sutures feature taper point needles, which have a blunt point and no cutting edge. This needle is designed for separating tissue fibres rather than for cutting. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
