SURGIPRO™ II

SURGIPRO™ II sutures (clear or pigmented) are inert, nonabsorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (a synthetic linear polyolefin) and polyethylene. The suture is pigmented blue to enhance visibility. SURGIPRO™ II polypropylene sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) for nonabsorbable surgical sutures, except for size 7-0 and 8-0, which DIFFER FROM U.S.P. MAXIMUM DIAMETER REQUIREMENTS BY UP TO 0.007 mm.

Features and Benefits

Features Benefits
SURGIPRO™ II strand production process Reduces tissue drag and reduces fraying while tying.
Enhanced polypropylene extrusion process Improves durability and handling. Smooth tissue passage and enhanced knot run-down.
Laser chamfered needles Improves the consistency of needle attachment.
Exclusive "SLIM TAPER" SURGALLOY™ Needles Reduces penetration force by creating a slimmer needle tip.
Proprietary NuCoat™ needle coating formulation NuCoat™ technology enhances the lubricity of the needle--requiring less force to penetrate tissue.
NuCoat™ coating application process. Maintains needle sharpness, resulting in consistent penetration, pass after pass.
