LUXSUTURES® Luxylene Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures engineered for ultra-fine and highly controlled wound closure in microsurgical applications. Manufactured from isotactic polypropylene, these sutures provide excellent tensile strength with minimal tissue reactivity, making them ideal for procedures requiring permanent support at microscopic scale.
The smooth monofilament construction allows atraumatic passage through delicate tissue, reducing drag and minimising tissue trauma. The blue suture colour enhances visibility under magnification, supporting precise handling in specialist surgical environments.
This variant is supplied double-armed with DSP 064 side cutting spatula needles, designed specifically for ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures. The side cutting spatula profile enables controlled lamellar tissue dissection and precise placement while minimising tissue disruption. Supplied sterile and single-use.
