Lightly-coated Polydek® Suture exhibits easy handling, outstanding tensile strength, lubricity, and a reduced risk of wicking and tissue reactivity.
Material: Polyester (PET)
Construction: Braided
Coating: The light PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating reduces “dead space” in the braid and lowers the risk of wicking and tissue reactivity.
