Coated
Braided Polyester Sutures
-
Macron
braided polyester gives maximum strength and flexibility for superior
results in Cardiovascular, Vascular and Orthopaedic surgery.
-
Macron's
manufacturing process gives the polyester superior softness and compliance
for maximum surgical hand. The firm round nature of the material combined
with 18 - 8 stainless steel laser drilled needles are the ultimate
for use in cardiovascular surgery.
-
The
coating forms a cohesive bonding with the polyester, which aids the
sutures passage through tissue, similar to that of a monofilament.
-
Macron
coated braided polyester has long-term retention of strength in vivo.
-
Available
in sizes USP 5 to USP 5/0 on needled items.
-
The
colour of the material is a blue/green.

SILK >>>
Black
or White Coated Braided Sutures
- Natural
silk strands are de-gummed prior to braiding, which retains the silk's
body and elasticity, creating ideal handling characteristics.
- The
manufacturing process produces a tightly braided silk strand with a
uniform diameter resulting in a predictable and reliable high-tensile
strength.
-
The firm strand is uniformly coated with either silicon or a bees wax
/ paraffin wax combination. This process enhances the performance of
the silk as it passes through tissue. The smooth coated silk ties down
easily and the knots lie flat and hold securely.
- The
coating process minimizes the possibilty of the transmission of infection
along the length of the strand.
- Available
in sizes USP 3 to USP 6/0 on a range of needled codes.
