Monofilament Polypropylene Suture (UNILENE)
Non-Absorbable surgical Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)
Monofilament Polypropylene Suture is a non-absorbable surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. It is pigmented in blue color to enhance the visibility.
Monofilament Sutures have excellent tensile strength. Polypropylene sutures elicit minimal tissue reaction and do not cause tissue rupture. In house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Monofilament Polypropylene sutures is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, ligation including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, plastic, neurological surgeries, micro procedures and Hernia repair. UNILENE is neither absorbed nor subjected to weakening by tissue enzymes, non-adhering and biologically inert. It is used for permanent fixtures.
- Properties: Good knot security and easy knot placement, excellent tensile strength, do not exhibit elasticity while knotting which is ideal for knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma.
Can also be supplied in different needle length and suture size combination depending on the requirement.

Question: What is Polypropylene Suture made from?
Answer: Polypropylene Suture is a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament suture made from polypropylene. It is generally supplied in blue so that the strand is easy to see during surgery.
Question: Where is Polypropylene Suture commonly used?
Answer: It is used for general soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Depending on the procedure and the surgeon’s judgement, it may also be selected for cardiovascular, ophthalmic, plastic, neurological and hernia repair procedures.
Question: Why is Polypropylene Suture suitable for long-term support?
Answer: The material is not absorbed by the body and is not easily weakened by tissue enzymes. Its high tensile strength and biological inertness make it suitable when permanent or extended wound support is required.
Question: What are the handling benefits of a monofilament Polypropylene Suture?
Answer: Its smooth monofilament surface allows easy passage through tissue with limited drag. It also offers reliable knot placement, good strength and minimal tissue reaction when used correctly.
Question: What sizes and needle options are available for Polypropylene Suture?
Answer: Universal Sutures offers Polypropylene Suture in USP sizes ranging from 10-0 to 2. It can be supplied with different needle types and lengths, including round-bodied, cutting, taper-point, reverse-cutting, straight and spatula options.
