Non-absorbable PTFE suture threads
PTFE surgical suture consists of a suture thread and a suture needle. The sutures are chemically synthesized single-strand non-absorbable threads made of polytetrafluoroethylene, white in color and stain-free. The suture needle is made of 304 or 420 stainless steel. There are round needles, curved cutting needles, reverse cutting needles, tapered cutting needles, and microfine spatula curved needles. Single-strand non-absorbable surgical sutures can be supplied with or without a suture needle.

Non-absorbable PTFE suture threads
Polypropylene suture is a sterile, non-absorbable, monofilament, synthetic surgical suture composed of a crystalline isotactic stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin, and polyethylene. Non-absorbable polypropylene sutures are available in USP sizes: USP10/0 to USP 1 and are dyed blue to enhance their visibility in tissue.
Features
- High tensile strength
- Good handling properties
- Minimal tissue reaction
- Easy and secure knots
Indications
Non-absorbable polypropylene suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue closure and/or ligation, including cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, plastic surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery.
Sterilization: Ethylene oxide
Non-absorbable silk suture threads
Silk suture is a sterile, non-absorbable, braided surgical suture composed of a naturally occurring organic protein called fibroin. This protein is derived from the silkworm species Bompyx mori, family Bombycidae. The threads are treated to remove the naturally occurring sericin gum and waxes, then spun, braided, and coated with silicone to provide a smooth surface and increased tensile strength. Haidike Medical silk sutures are available in sizes ranging from USP8/0 to USP4.
Benefits:
- Excellent handling properties
- High tensile strength
- Great flexibility and softness
Indications for non-absorbable silk sutures:
Non-absorbable silk sutures are indicated for use in general surgery. They are suitable for use in soft tissue and for ligation, particularly in ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological surgery. Because the tensile strength of Dtek silk sutures decreases significantly over time, they should not be used where significant suture support is required.
Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide
Non-absorbable polyester suture threads
Polyester suture is a sterile, non-absorbable, braided, synthetic surgical suture made of polyethylene terephthalate (polyester). Polyester sutures are dyed green/blue and coated with silicone, which gives the suture remarkable softness, flexibility, and non-thrombogenic properties.
Non-absorbable polyester sutures are available in sizes ranging from USP6/0 to USP4."
Features
- High tensile strength
- Excellent handling properties
- Minimal tissue reaction
- Easy and secure knots
Indication
Polyester is indicated for use in general surgery. It is suitable for use in soft tissue and ligation, including cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, ophthalmic surgery, orthopedic surgery, obstetrics, and gastrointestinal surgery.
Sterilization: Ethylene oxide
Non-absorbable polyester suture threads
Nylon suture is a monofilament surgical thread synthesized from polyamide 6 and/or polyamide 6.6, making it a non-absorbable suture. The color of nylon suture is blue or black. Sterilization is achieved by ethylene oxide gas. Sizes range from USP 12/0 to USP 4. Nylon suture meets all USP requirements for non-absorbable surgical sutures.
Nylon sutures have high strength, good compatibility, and low tissue reaction. Due to their monofilament nature, they are less likely to be colonized by bacteria, thus reducing the risk of infection. No capillary action occurs at the same time.
The nylon non-absorbable suture we sell is made of imported high-quality stainless steel. The non-destructive suture needle, produced by drilling technology, realizes the integration of the needle and thread, which allows the needle and thread to penetrate smoothly with minimal damage. It is suitable for ophthalmic surgery, orthopedic surgery, skin suturing, etc.
Connection method of the needle and thread of the non-absorbable nylon suture:
Insert the nylon thread into the drill hole at the tail of the needle body and then secure the connection. The needle and thread connection position is smooth. This makes the nylon surgical suture very smooth to use, reducing the risk of tissue tension.
Features :
- High Tensile Strength: Nylon sutures feature high tensile strength, providing sturdy support.
- Excellent and permanent tissue support: They provide excellent and long-lasting tissue support.
- Smooth Tissue Passage: Their smooth texture allows easy passage through tissues, reducing trauma.
- Easy and secure knotting: Knotting is easy and secure, ensuring a reliable closure.
Indications :
Nylon sutures are indicated for use in general surgery. They are suitable for soft tissue and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, neurological tissue (peripheral nerves), and cardiovascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. Nylon sutures should not be used where extended and permanent retention of tensile strength is required, such as in cardiac surgery (e.g., artificial heart valves) and neurosurgery (central nervous system).
Sterilization: Ethylene oxide.
