Non-Absorbable Sutures
Monofilament synthetic surgical suture made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer
PTFE suture is a monofilament non-absorbable, extremely soft and smooth material composed of a strand of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This material is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that is very strong, knots well and biologically inert.
Our PTFE suture is white in color and some are available with black needles for enhancing the visibility during the surgery. The material has a very low friction coefficient, meaning it slides easily through tissue compared to other materials, thereby limiting the possibility of tissue damage. This feature, along with the monofilament construction, prevents the possibility of bacterial wicking into the surgical site.
