The PTFE material used in the sutures is non-absorbable, allowing for long-term tissue support. The material enables smooth tissue passage during the suturing process, reducing tissue trauma, and promoting better healing outcomes. The sutures are also inert and resistant to chemical degradation, ensuring prolonged strength retention and minimising the risk of tissue reaction or infection.
The benefits of Medipac Profimed PTFE sutures are significant. Their high tensile strength provides excellent wound support and reduces the likelihood of suture breakage. The non-absorbable nature allows for prolonged wound support, making them ideal for applications where long-term tissue integrity is required. Additionally, their non-reactive properties minimise the risk of adverse reactions and promote better biocompatibility. The smooth surface of the sutures enables easier knot tying and suture manipulation, facilitating efficient and precise surgical techniques.
