The C826G PROLENE® Sutures are a high-quality, non-absorbable surgical suture designed for a range of general and specialized surgical procedures. Renowned for their strength, durability, and biocompatibility, PROLENE® sutures are composed of a polypropylene material that ensures minimal tissue reaction and prolonged tensile strength.
Key Features
- Material: Made from a polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® sutures provide excellent resistance to both degradation and absorption in tissues, ensuring longevity in wound support.
- Size: The sutures are sized at 2-0, making them suitable for a variety of surgical applications where moderate tensile strength and precision are required.
- Length: Each suture is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, offering ample material for secure knotting and closure.
- Needle Specifications: Equipped with a CT-2 needle, which is a 1/2 circle taper point needle. This type of needle is designed to minimize tissue trauma, making it ideal for delicate surgeries where precision is paramount.
- Sterilization: The sutures are sterilized using ethylene oxide, ensuring they are safe for use in surgical environments and reducing the risk of infection.
- Packaging: The sutures are individually packaged to maintain sterility until the moment of use, ensuring that each suture is ready and safe for immediate application.
Applications
PROLENE® Sutures are versatile and can be used in a variety of surgical procedures, including but not limited to:
- Cardiovascular Surgery: Ideal for vascular anastomoses and other cardiovascular procedures due to their strength and reliability.
- General Surgery: Suitable for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in skin, fascia, and muscle closures.
- Plastic Surgery: Commonly used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries due to their minimal tissue reaction and ability to provide fine, precise suturing.
Benefits
- Reduced Tissue Reaction: The non-absorbable nature and smooth monofilament construction minimize tissue reaction, promoting better healing outcomes.
- High Tensile Strength: Ensures consistent and reliable wound closure over extended periods.
- Ease of Handling: The monofilament structure of the suture provides excellent handling characteristics, including smooth passage through tissues and easy knot tying.
- Long-Term Security: Ideal for situations requiring extended wound support without the risk of suture absorption or degradation.
