Non-Absorbable Sutures

Braided surgical suture made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)

UHMWPE sutures are braided non-absorbable surgical sutures made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, known for their exceptional strength and durability. These sutures offer excellent flexibility and a smooth surface, making them easy to handle and reducing tissue trauma.

Certificates of Qualification:

ISO 13485 Certificate No.: C564964
ISO 14001 Certificate No.: 00222E34558ROS
ISO 45001 Certificate No.: NOA2403088

Properties

Suture size: USP 7/0 - USP5
Colour: white/white blue/white black/white green
Chemical composition: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
Sterilization: ethylene oxide
Structure: braided

Advantages

Extremely strong with outstanding tensile strength
Flexible and smooth, ensuring easy tissue passage
Minimal inflammatory reaction, promoting better healing

Applications

UHMWPE sutures are commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, and vascular suturing in hepatobiliary surgery, as well as other surgical procedures requiring non-absorbable sutures.

Features

High-quality needles with sharp tips increase puncture frequency and suturing efficiency.
Smooth suture body with sharp needle minimizes tissue damage, leaving small puncture marks.
Strong needle bending resistance and flexibility allow precise control during suturing.
High tensile strength UHMWPE sutures are rigorously tested for durability.
The smooth, monofilament structure reduces tissue damage and offers long-lasting durability, making it ideal for cardiovascular surgeries.
Non-absorbable with minimal tissue reaction, providing long-term safety.
