Polypropylene Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximating and ligation including use in cardiovascular ophthalmic procedures and neurological procedures. Sutures elicit a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissue which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Sutures are not absorbed nor are they subject to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes. Sutures resist involvement in infection and have been successfully employed in contaminated and infected wounds to eliminate or minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion. Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance. Slim as possible without compromising strength. Rigid to resist bending yet ductile to resist breaking. Stable in the grasp of the needleholder.
