Monofilament
Polypropylene Sutures
-
Pro-vein
is made from the polymer of propylene. Polypropylene sutures are inert,
supple and handle well. Due to its controlled elongation, the knots
lie flat and lock against each other, giving excellent knot security.
-
There
is minimal tissue drag and tissue trauma, which allows for easy placement
and removal.
- Pro-vein
is as inert as steel, and because it is unaffected by tissue enzymes,
the strands provide prolonged tensile strength, even in infected areas.
- Available
in sizes USP 2 to USP 7/0 on a range of needled items. All Pro-vein
sutures are attached to 18 - 8 stainless steel needles for maximum strength
and durability.

Blue Monofilament
Polyamide 6 Sutures
- Scimitar
has a new dark blue Polyamide 6 nylon suture that is an exceptionally
strong, smooth and pliable monofilament suture.
- The
material is very smooth and pliable and does not require a lubricant,
as it slides easily through tissue. The nylon, because of its smoothness
and even diameter, makes knot-tying and placement very simple.
- This
material has very high in vivo tensile strength and does not support
bacterial growth across the cut line when closing skin or subcuticular
layers.
- Scimitar
nylon is available in sizes USP 2 to USP 7/0 on a range of 18 - 8 stainless
steel surgical needles.
