CERVICAL CERCLAGE POLYESTER TAPE

Polyester Tape is the most widely used suture type for cervical cerclage due to its high strength, resistance to breakage and ease of removal. The Polyester Tape is made of white (undyed) flat woven polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) with the chemical formula (C10H8O4). It boasts high strength, resistance to breakage, and ease of removal.

Cerclage, a widely performed surgical procedure, aims to provide mechanical support to the cervix by placing suture material, thereby preventing cervical shortening and opening, consequently reducing the risk of preterm birth (PTB).

indication of Polyester Tape

Polyester Tape suture is indicated for use in cervical cerclage and also called a cervical stitch operation. The cervix is the mouth or entry point of the uterus which extends into the vagina. It is advised in cases where a woman may have a previous second-trimester pregnancy loss or some procedure done on the cervix earlier leading to weakness of the cervix. This weakness may lead to a lax birth passage through which a premature baby can slip out accidentally, causing a miscarriage or premature birth.

  1. What is a Polyester Tape Suture?
    A Polyester Tape Suture is a strong, non-absorbable surgical tape made from polyester fibers. Its flat and broad structure helps distribute tension across a wider tissue area.
  2. Where is Polyester Tape Suture commonly used?
    It may be used in orthopedic procedures, tendon or ligament repair, soft-tissue fixation, and other procedures where strong tissue support is required.
  3. Is Polyester Tape Suture absorbable?
    No. Polyester Tape Suture is generally non-absorbable and is designed to provide long-term tissue support.
  4. What is the advantage of a tape design over a conventional round suture?
    The wider tape profile can distribute load over a larger surface area, which may help reduce localized tissue pressure compared with a narrow round suture.
  5. Is Polyester Tape Suture available in different sizes?
    Yes. Sizes, lengths, needle combinations, and configurations can vary depending on the manufacturer and intended surgical application.
