Polypropylene

Premisut POLYPROPYLENE suture is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological tissues.

Premisut POLYPROPYLENE suture being a monofilament suture is remarkably smooth and easy to handle. It does not have interstices in its structure and being a monofilament suture, has been successfully employed in surgical wounds which could subsequently become infected or contaminated where it can minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion. It elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. It is neither absorbed, nor it is subjected to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes. Due to its relative biological inertness, it is recommended for use in tissues, where the least possible suture reaction is desired. Because of its lack of adherence to tissues, it is effective as a pull out suture.
