Covidien SP-665 Sutures 3-0 SURGIPRO™ Blue 45cm C13 36/Box

Surgipro™ polypropylene sutures and Surgipro™ polypropylene sutures with PTFE pledgets elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture and pledget by fibrous connective tissue. Surgipro™ polypropylene sutures and Surgipro™ polypropylene sutures with PTFE pledgets are not absorbed, nor is any significant change in strength retention known to occur in vivo.

Lifetime of these devices can be claimed to be 6-12 months with low dehiscence rate of less than 1% and can support extended healing.

The Surgipro™ sutures with PTFE have:

• Improved tensile strength^{†, 1-5}
• Resistant to breaking^{†, 1-5}
• Resistant to fraying^{†, 1-5}
• Improved handling characteristics^{†, 1-5}
• Less tissue drag compared to the competition^†,6
