• precut lengths

THREAD DIAMETER:
USP 6-0 to 6 (0.7 – 8 metric)

polyethylene terephthalate polyester fibre
Fibres are formed using the dry spinning process. Precision-braiding and tempering transform the stretched, slightly twisted fibre bundles into a suture. The individual fibres are hydrophobic, i.e., they repel water.

The material is coloured with a physiologically harmless dye.

  • very high tear resistance
