Intended for use in soft tissue approximation and or ligation.
Comprised of a polyblend of ultra-high molecular weight polyethlene (UHMWPE) polyester over a core of UHMWPE nylon yarn.
Additional materials to the sutures include silicone elastomer coating and may include cyanoacrylate and/or nylon. The coating acts as a lubricant for suture sliding, knot tying, and ease of passing suture through tissue.
