Product Description
Flexi-Mat PM193024F4P - Suture Polypropylene, 45cm, Blue, 3/0, 24mm, 3/8 Circle, Reverse Cutting, 12 Per/Bx (cross reference to Ethicon 8684G)
DemeTech PM193024F4P DemeLENE, Polypropylene Suture, Synthetic Non-absorbable, DFS-1, 24mm, 3/8 Circle, Reverse Cutting Needle, Blue, USP Size 3-0, 18 inches, (45cm)
DemeTECH Polypropylene sutures are inert, nonabsorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The suture pigment used CU - Phtalocyanine Blue Dye to enhance visibility. All DemeTECH sutures meet the requirements established by U.S.P.
- Color: The suture is blue, enhancing its visibility within the body.
- Tissue Reaction: It induces a minimal acute inflammatory response in tissues. Over time, the suture becomes encapsulated by fibrous tissue.
- Tensile Strength: The suture possesses an extremely high tensile strength, making it durable and reliable.
- Flexibility: It is notably flexible, adapting to the needs of various surgical procedures.
- Tissue Reactivity: Being synthetic and monofilament in nature, DemeTechs Polypropylene causes only minimal tissue reactivity.
- Ductility: The suture is highly ductile. It can stretch up to 30% before breaking. This characteristic is beneficial post-operation, as it can accommodate tissue swelling without strangulating the tissue.
- Knot Tying: The suture material allows for secure knot tying, ensuring the wound stays closed and heals properly.
- Smoothness: The suture has a very smooth texture, leading to reduced tissue trauma during and after surgery.
DemeTech PM193024F4P DemeLENE, Polypropylene Suture Suture Material
DemeTechs Polypropylene suture is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of a synthetic linear polyolefin. DemeTechs Polypropylene is blue to enhance visibility in the body. DemeTechs Polypropylene suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in the tissue, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous tissue. - Extremely high tensile strength - Very flexible - Due to its synthetic and monofilament characteristic, DemeTechs Polypropylene elicits only minimal tissue reactivity. - DemeTechs Polypropylene is highly ductile. It extends 30% prior to rupture of the thread, allowing for the post-operative swelling of tissue and avoiding possible strangulation of tissue. - Allows for secured knot tying. - Extremely smooth textile, resulting in minimal tissue trauma. |  |
Intended Use of DemeTech PM193024F4P DemeLENE, Polypropylene SutureThe DemeTECH Nonabsorbable Polyester Suture with and without needles is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. Product is intended for long term use over 30 days. Features of DemeTech PM193024F4P Suture- Polypropylene Material: Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, ensuring durability and strength for secure wound closure.
- Monofilament Design: The suture features a monofilament structure, reducing tissue drag and minimizing the risk of tissue trauma during placement and removal.
- Smooth Surface: The smooth surface of the suture allows for easy handling and smooth tissue passage, enhancing surgical efficiency.
- Uniform Diameter: With a consistent diameter throughout the length of the suture, it offers predictable handling characteristics and knot security.
- Non-absorbable: Being non-absorbable, the suture provides long-term tensile strength retention, making it suitable for permanent wound closure.
Benefits of DemeTech PB240222B5P Suture- Secure Wound Closure: The polypropylene material and monofilament design ensure reliable wound closure, reducing the risk of dehiscence and promoting proper healing.
- Minimized Tissue Trauma: The smooth surface and monofilament structure reduce tissue drag and trauma, leading to improved patient comfort and faster healing.
- Ease of Handling: The uniform diameter and smooth surface of the suture facilitate easy handling and smooth tissue passage, enhancing surgical precision and efficiency.
- Predictable Performance: The consistent diameter and non-absorbable nature of the suture provide predictable performance, ensuring reliable outcomes in various surgical procedures.
- Long-term Strength: As a non-absorbable suture, DemeLENE Polypropylene Suture retains its tensile strength over time, making it suitable for long-term wound support and closure.

Precautions of DemeTech PM193024F4P DemeLENE Polypropylene Suture
In handling this suture material, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Avoid crushing or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments such as forceps or needle holders. Adequate knot security requires the accepted surgical technique of flat, square ties of single suture strands. The use of additional throws is particularly appropriate when knotting polypropylene sutures. To avoid damaging needle points and swage areas, grasp the needle in an area one-third (1/3) to one-half (1/2) of the distance from the swaged end to the point. Reshaping needles may cause them to lose strength and be less resistant to bending and breaking. Users should exercise caution when handling surgical needles to avoid inadvertent needle sticks. Discard used needles in "sharps" containers.
