Description

The MERSILENE™ Suture, 18", White, S-4 Needle, Size 4/0, is a nonabsorbable, braided surgical suture composed of poly(ethylene terephthalate), a synthetic polyester. It is designed to offer long-term tensile strength and durability for general soft tissue approximation where extended wound support is necessary. The white coloration allows clear visibility against tissue during placement.

This suture is indicated for use in procedures requiring secure and stable soft tissue approximation. The braided construction provides excellent handling properties, allowing smooth passage through tissue and reliable knot security. The suture maintains consistent tension throughout its application, contributing to precise tissue alignment and minimized suture-related complications.

The S-4 spatula needle is specifically engineered for ophthalmic and fine microsurgical procedures. Its flat, lance-shaped body is optimized for controlled, layered dissection in delicate tissue planes, particularly in the eye. The needle’s geometry allows for accurate, planar penetration with minimal tissue distortion or trauma.
