Cardiovascular Surgical Supplies

Polypropylene sutures for heart surgery

Cardiovascular surgery, also known as heart surgery, is a surgical procedure that involves the heart or blood vessels that supply blood to and from the heart. Polypropylene (PP) surgical suture, made from stereoisomers of isotactic crystals of polypropylene, is a synthetic monofilament suture usually produced in blue to enhance visibility during surgical interventions. It is a synthetic linear polyolefin with a smooth and elastic structure, making it ideal for vascular closure.

Features

Monofilament polypropylene suture with good ductility, suitable for cardiovascular surgery
Flexible and smooth surface with no tissue drag or cutting effect, making it easy to operate
Long-lasting and stable tensile strength with strong tissue compatibility

Polypropylene sutures are used for general soft tissue closure and ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurosurgical applications. They are also commonly used in general surgery, soft tissue approximation and ligation, fascia suturing, patch testing, and skin closure (both alone and subcutaneous). The versatile and reliable performance of polypropylene sutures makes them suitable for nearly all surgical fields, including cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmic, microsurgery, and neurosurgery. This surgical suture ensures reliable vascular closure due to its smooth and elastic structure.
