Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture
Non-Absorbable surgical Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE Suture) is an ultra-high molecular weight non-absorbable braided sterile surgical suture prepared from the fibers of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It is available in White and Blue, white and green, white and black combination and in white color. In house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
Indication of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture is used for permanent, removable fixtures, cardiovascular surgery and orthopedic procedures. Polyethylene sutures have no tissue reaction. Polyethylene Suture is neither absorbed nor subjected to weakening by tissue enzymes. It as low friction and chemical resistance.
- Properties: Good knot security, excellent tensile strength for reliability, excellent handling and long lasting, low friction.
Question: What is UHMWPE Polyethylene Suture?
Answer: UHMWPE Suture is a braided, non-absorbable surgical suture made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres. The material is engineered to provide very high strength while remaining easy to handle.
Question: Where is UHMWPE Suture commonly used?
Answer: It is used in procedures that require strong and durable fixation, including orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgery. It may be selected for permanent or removable fixtures according to the surgeon’s technique and the tissue being repaired.
Question: What are the key benefits of UHMWPE Suture?
Answer: UHMWPE Suture combines excellent tensile strength with good knot security and handling. Its low-friction surface and chemical resistance also help provide smooth performance and reliable long-term support.
Question: Is UHMWPE Suture absorbed or weakened by the body?
Answer: No. UHMWPE is a non-absorbable material and is not normally weakened by tissue enzymes. It is intended for applications where prolonged or permanent mechanical support may be required.
Question: What colours and sizes are offered for UHMWPE Suture?
Answer: The suture is available in white and in colour combinations such as white-blue, white-black and white-green. Universal Sutures lists a USP size range from 5-0 to 5, with different needle types and packaging configurations available.
