Sterile Monofilament Non-Absoroable Polypropylene Sutures With or Without Needle WEGO-Polypropylene
WEGO-POLYPROPYLENE suture is a monofilament, synthetic, non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The molecular formula is (C3H6)n. WEGO-POLYPROPYLENE suture is available dyed blue with phthalocyanine blue (Color Index Number 74160).
WEGO-POLYPROPYLENE suture is available in a range of gauge sizes and lengths attached to stainless steel needles of various types and sizes.
WEGO-POLYPROPYLENE suture complies with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia for Sterile Non Absorbable Polypropylene suture and the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia monographfor
Non absorbable Sutures.

Product Features
Polypropylene Monofilament suture has excellent ductility and can be used for cardiovascular suture. The thread body is flexible and smooth, with no tissue drag, no cutting effect and easy control. The tensile strength is durable and stable with strong histocompatibility. It is inert and not easy to cause infection. It can be used in cosmetic suture. Applicable parts and departments: Polypropylene suture is mostly used for vascular suture, combined with the size of needle, it is used in different departments.
Cardiothoracic surgery (vascular suture)
Hepatobiliary surgery (vascular suture)
Orthopedics (hand surgery, heel tendon anastomosis)
General surgery (thyroid skin suture)
Sterility: Polypropylene sutures are sterilized by ethylene oxide gas.
Storage: Recommended storage conditions : below 25℃, away from moisture corrosion and direct heat.
