Description

Mersilene Suture, 18 inches in length, with a P-3 needle and size 5/0, is a nonabsorbable surgical suture crafted from Poly (ethylene terephthalate), a braided and sterile material. This suture is specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, suitable for a range of procedures including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries.

The material used in Mersilene Suture is derived from high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters with recurrent aromatic rings integrated into its structure. This composition provides durability and strength, crucial for securing tissues effectively during surgical interventions.

Its braided construction enhances handling characteristics, allowing for precise knot tying and manipulation in delicate surgical settings. As a nonabsorbable suture, Mersilene maintains its integrity over time, providing long-lasting support where permanent wound closure is required.

In clinical practice, Mersilene Suture is favored for its reliability in achieving secure tissue approximation and its suitability across various surgical disciplines, reflecting its robust design and versatile application.
