Description

Mersilene Woven Suture is a nonabsorbable, braided, sterile surgical suture constructed from Poly(ethylene terephthalate), a synthetic polyester material. It is specifically designed for applications requiring long-term tensile strength, particularly in soft tissue approximation. The woven construction enhances the suture’s knot security while maintaining flexibility and strength across various surgical procedures.

The white, 12-inch suture is configured with a 5 mm width and is mounted on a BP-1 needle, allowing for controlled passage through tissue with minimal drag. Its braided polyester structure ensures uniform handling characteristics and provides a reliable tactile response during knot tying. 

Mersilene suture offers surgeons precise control over wound closure, with consistent tension across the wound site. This contributes to optimal wound healing and supports effective tissue approximation. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures the suture remains intact indefinitely unless removed, offering durability in long-term applications such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, or orthopedic surgeries.
