Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against USP 26 specifications for diameter, length, knot pull tensile strength, extractable color, needle attachment strength, and sterility. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993. Results demonstrate the device meets or exceeds USP specifications and is equivalent to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Multifilament, nonabsorbable polyethylene terephthalate suture; coated with polybutylate; undyed or dyed (D&C Green No. 5 or Logwood extract). Sterilized via EO. Meets USP 26 standards for diameter, tensile strength, and needle attachment. Biocompatible per ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. No specific age or gender restrictions noted.
