Description

The Polypropylene Suture, Size 1, Blue, 1 x 30", CT-1 Needle is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture designed for reliable long-term tissue approximation. Composed of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin, it offers high tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and exceptional resistance to degradation in vivo, making it suitable for extended wound support.

The monofilament structure of the suture ensures smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma and facilitating precise placement. Its blue color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in accurate suture identification and handling. Polypropylene is biologically inert, resulting in minimal inflammatory response and long-term stability at the suture site.

The attached CT-1 needle, measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle taper point, is constructed from stainless steel. This configuration supports smooth penetration of soft tissue, particularly in general, gastrointestinal, and plastic surgery applications. The needle's design reduces risk of cutting or tearing surrounding structures during passage.
