Meril FILAPROP Polypropylene Sutures, are a superior choice for non-absorbable surgical sutures. These monofilament sutures are composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Benefits & Applications: Minimal Inflammatory Reaction: FILAPROP™ Polypropylene sutures elicit a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissues, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort for patients. Non-Absorbable and Biologically Inert: These sutures are neither absorbed nor weakened by tissue enzymes, making them ideal for use in wounds where a low suture reaction is desired. Their biologically inert nature ensures long-lasting support without adverse effects. Ideal for Infected or Contaminated Wounds: FILAPROP™ Polypropylene sutures are successfully employed in surgical wounds that may become infected or contaminated. They minimize the risk of sinus formation and suture extrusion, providing a secure closure in challenging situations. Excellent Pull-Out Performance: Due to their lower adherence to tissue, these sutures offer efficient pull-out resistance, preventing accidental dislodgement and ensuring enhanced wound stability.

MERISTEEL™ suture is a non absorbable monofilament suture composed of 316LVM stainless steel. It is indicated for use in sternum closures. It is a reliable and strong suture designed for wound closure. It promotes healing and minimises the risk of complications. Indication: Sternum closure  316LVM stainless steel sutures are surgical threads made from high-quality implant-grade stainless steel. Known for exceptional biocompatibility, these sutures are widely used in medical procedures requiring long-term support. The 316LVM alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring a stable and secure closure of surgical incisions. These sutures are particularly valuable in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries where strength and reliability are crucial. With a smooth surface and flexibility, 316LVM stainless steel sutures provide surgeons with precise control during suturing, contributing to successful and resilient wound closures. 316LVM stainless steel sutures offer exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Ideal for long-term support, they provide surgeons with precise control, ensuring secure wound closures in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries. MERISTEEL™ sutures are intended for use in abdominal wound closure, hernia repair, sternal closure, and orthopedic procedures, including cartilage and tendon repair.
