  Suture Catalog - TiCron™

  TiCron™ polyester sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, surgical sutures composed of polyethylene terephthalate. They are prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. The braided sutures are available uncoated or coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, thereby enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties.

  Suture Catalog - Monosof™ & Dermalon™

  Monosof™~Dermalon™ monofilament nylon sutures are inert, nonabsorbables sterile surgical sutures composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. View Monosof™~Dermalon™
• 

  Suture Catalog - Surgilon™

  Surgilon™ braided nylon sutures are nonabsorbable surgical sutures composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers and Nylon 6.6. The braided sutures are coated uniformly with silicone to enhance handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue and reduction of capillarity. View Surgilon™
• 

  Suture Catalog - Silk

  Silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin. This protein is derived from the domesticated silkworm species Bombyx mori of the family bombycidae. The silk fibers are treated to remove the naturally-occurring sericin gum, bleached and braided to produce Silk surgical sutures. The braided sutures are available coated uniformly with silicone or wax to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity to enhance handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue and knot run-down properties.
