Description

Suture, Mersilene Braided Green 0 30" CT-1 is a nonabsorbable surgical thread composed of polyester fiber, renowned for its strength and durability. The braided structure of Mersilene enhances its tensile strength, making it suitable for applications where long-term tissue support is essential. The green color of the suture improves visibility during surgeries, aiding in precise placement and reducing the risk of inadvertent tissue damage.

With a size of 0 and a length of 30 inches, this suture is commonly used in orthopedic and general surgeries, particularly where strong tissue approximation and support are required. The CT-1 needle, featuring a cutting edge and a 3/8 circle curvature, facilitates easy tissue penetration and secure knot tying, ensuring reliable wound closure.

Due to its nonabsorbable nature, Mersilene remains intact within the body without being absorbed or metabolized. This characteristic is advantageous in procedures where long-term wound support is necessary, such as hernia repairs and tendon surgeries. The suture's polyester composition provides resistance to fraying and minimizes tissue drag, contributing to its reputation for dependable performance in challenging surgical environments.
