This MERSILENE Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 1624H, is designed for permanent soft tissue approximation where high tensile strength, minimal stretch, and secure knot performance are essential. Manufactured from braided polyester fibres and dyed green for enhanced visibility, the suture offers excellent handling characteristics and long-term durability.

The USP 2-0 size provides strong support for general soft tissue closure and procedures requiring reliable, long-term wound approximation. The 75 cm suture length allows sufficient working length for controlled placement and secure knot tying.

1624H is supplied with one FSLX reverse cutting needle, measuring 36 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature, engineered for controlled penetration through tougher tissue while maintaining precise handling.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is suitable for professional clinical and hospital environments where a braided, non-absorbable suture with excellent tensile performance is required.
