Classic Blue polypropylene monofilament suture. Not resorbable.
Is made of polypropylene, a synthetic material known for its strength and durability.
Polypropylene sutures are often manufactured as monofilament threads, meaning they consist of a single continuous thread. This makes them smooth and less likely to penetrate the tissue or cause irritation.
Some of the advantages of polypropylene sutures include:
1. Strength and durability: Polypropylene sutures are known for their high tensile strength, making them suitable for suturing wounds or cuts that require extra support or resistance to tension.
2. Minimal tissue reaction: Polypropylene is a biocompatible material that is generally well tolerated by the body. It has a low risk of causing tissue reactions or inflammation, which contributes to a more comfortable healing process for the patient.
3. Resistance to chemical influences: Polypropylene sutures are resistant to many chemical substances, including solvents and enzymes found in the body. This ensures their integrity and ability to maintain suturing effectiveness over time.
