Polypropylene Monofilament Suture

Polypropylene Monofilament Suture is a sterile, non-absorbable suture made from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene—a synthetic linear polyolefin. Its monofilament structure ensures a smooth passage through tissues, reducing the risk of trauma and minimizing bacterial harboring. The suture exhibits high tensile strength, excellent knot security, and superior resistance to chemical degradation.

It is biologically inert and elicits minimal tissue response, making it highly preferred in delicate surgeries including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, and plastic procedures. Its vibrant blue color enhances visibility during operation, aiding in precision suturing.

Unlike absorbable sutures, Polypropylene Suture maintains its strength indefinitely in vivo and is often used in situations where long-term wound support is essential. It is also suitable for use in contaminated or infected wounds due to its low tissue reactivity.
