Description
Polypropylene suture is a type of surgical suture (stitching material) that is used in surgical procedures to close wounds or incisions. It is a synthetic, non-absorbable suture made of a thermoplastic material. It is available in different sizes and strengths, commonly numbered as 2/0, 3/0, etc. The higher the number the smaller the suture.
It is commonly used in surgery because of its strength, durability, and resistance to infection. It is also relatively easy to handle and knot, making it a good choice for many types of surgical procedures. The suture is available in various forms such as braided, monofilament, and coated. It can be dyed in different colors, commonly in black and blue, to make it more visible in the tissue. It is typically removed after 7-10 days or as per the surgeon’s instruction. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and to handle the suture in a sterile environment.
