Polypropylene

Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable, monofilament surgical threads made from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. These sutures are uniquely pigmented in blue to enhance visibility during surgical procedures. 

They are well-regarded for their excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity, creating a favorable environment for postoperative healing. One of their key benefits is that they do not cause tissue cutting or tearing, making them a safe and gentle option for tissue approximation during surgeries. Thanks to their strength, visibility, and high compatibility with tissue, polypropylene sutures are a preferred choice across various surgical specialties. 

Common Applications
• General soft tissue approximation
• Cardiovascular surgeries
• Ophthalmic procedures
• Plastic surgery
• Neurological surgeries
• Microsurgery
• Hernia repair 

Key Properties
• Excellent Knot Security & Easy Handling – Ensures firm knot hold and simplifies the knotting process for efficient closures
• High Tensile Strength – Provides durable support for strong and secure wound closure
• Non-Elastic Knotting – No elasticity during knot tying, enhancing knot reliability
• Smooth Tissue Passage – Minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue, supporting patient comfort and faster healing
• Enhanced Visibility – Distinctive blue color allows for clear visibility and precise handling during procedures
