Non-absorbable Medical Surgical Sutures

Non-Absorbable Sutures for Precise Control in Surgical Procedures

When wound closure requires sustained mechanical support, the selected material matters for both the technique and the tissue being treated. At Vetro Design, you can find non-absorbable sutures for controlled use in a medical cabinet, surgery, or clinic.

Selection starts with the material, thickness expressed in USP, and needle shape. In the surgical sutures category, you can compare silk, polypropylene, and nylon sutures. For handling and placement, surgical instruments complement the set used for the procedure.

How to Choose a Non-Absorbable Suture by Material, Needle, and Size

Each material is available in different sizes and needle configurations. Check the product according to the surgical technique and the area being sutured.

• Surgical silk: Available from USP 2-0 to 5-0, with round or triangular needles. The choice depends on the technique and tissue.
• Polypropylene: Includes variants with round or Tapercut needles, from USP 0 to 5-0. Check the diameter and needle configuration before the procedure.
• Nylon: Available with round or Tapercut needles, in USP sizes from 2-0 to 4-0. It remains an option for selected non-absorbable suturing procedures.

Confirm needle compatibility, suture size, and technique according to the clinical protocol. When the procedure requires an absorbable material, consult the absorbable surgical sutures category.
