Medipac Polyamid non-absorbable surgical sutures are made from a synthetic monofilament copolymer of polyamide 6 and 6/6. These sterile, biocompatible sutures are designed for high-tensile strength and tissue compatibility in a wide range of surgical procedures. Compliant with the European Pharmacopoeia and Directive 93/42/EEC.
Features
The suture ensures smooth tissue passage with minimal friction and trauma, offering knot security and resistance to microbial colonization. It provides high tensile strength, minimal tissue reaction, and can be removed easily and painlessly as it does not adhere to tissue. Its consistent performance and full biocompatibility make it a reliable choice for surgeons.
