Aqmen - AM881 - Sutures AM881 AqLene Prolene Type USP 5-0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AM881 is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for permanent wound support. This suture is constructed from polypropylene, a synthetic monofilament material known for its strength and inertness within biological tissues. The blue coloration of the suture aids in its visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating precise placement and knot tying.

Each unit contains 12 individual foil-packaged sutures, ensuring sterility and ease of dispensing in a clinical setting. The suture has a USP size of 5-0 and a length of 70 centimeters, making it suitable for a range of surgical applications where secure and long-lasting tissue approximation is required. The material's inherent resistance to degradation in vivo means it will maintain its tensile strength over an extended period, providing durable closure.

This characteristic is particularly important in situations where tissues are under significant stress or require prolonged support to heal properly. The smooth surface of the monofilament minimizes drag through tissue, reducing trauma during insertion and manipulation. Furthermore, polypropylene is known for its excellent handling characteristics, allowing for secure knot tying with minimal slippage.

The suture's biocompatibility is a key factor, as it elicits a minimal tissue reaction, further contributing to predictable healing outcomes. The non-absorbable nature ensures that the suture remains in place indefinitely, providing a stable framework for tissue repair.
