Product Details

Optilene sutures are crafted from high-molecular-weight, isotactic polypropylene. The monofilament structure ensures a smooth passage through tissues, minimizing drag and trauma. With a gauge of 5/0, this specific suture is suitable for fine tissue approximation. Each suture measures 45cm in length, providing ample material for precise surgical work. It is armed with a DS16 needle, known for its sharp penetration and excellent handling characteristics. The distinctive blue color of the thread enhances visibility against surgical tissues, aiding in accurate placement.

Benefits of Use

• Excellent tensile strength ensures secure and lasting wound support throughout the healing process.
• Minimal tissue reaction due to its inert polypropylene material, reducing the risk of inflammation and infection.
• High knot security prevents slippage and ensures the integrity of the suture line.
• Smooth tissue passage minimizes tissue trauma and allows for easy manipulation.
• Non-absorbable nature provides permanent support where long-term tissue approximation is required.
