Description

Mersilene suture is a nonabsorbable surgical thread composed of braided polyester fibers, specifically poly(ethylene terephthalate). Its braided structure ensures durability and strength, making it suitable for procedures requiring long-term tissue support. The suture is sterilized and prepared for surgical use, providing a reliable material for wound closure.

The green coloration of the suture enhances visibility during surgical procedures, allowing for accurate placement and knot tying. Mersilene’s physical properties facilitate consistent tension control, which is critical in maintaining wound integrity and promoting optimal healing. Its resistance to degradation ensures sustained support in soft tissue approximation.

The included RD-1 spatula needle features a curved design optimized for precision and minimal tissue trauma. This needle type allows for efficient penetration and maneuvering through various tissue layers, improving surgical handling and reducing procedure time. The size 5/0 suture is ideal for delicate tissues requiring fine closure.
