Polyester Suture

NEOBOND (Polyester Suture) is a non absorbable, braided, sterile, surgical suture composed of Poly (ethylene terephthalate). It is prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. The suture is uniformly coated with polybutilate or poly {oxy-1, 4 butanediyloxy (1, 6-dioxo-1, 6 hexanediyl)}. The highly adherent coating is a relatively nonreactive non absorbable compound which acts as a lubricant to mechanically improves the physical properties of the uncoated suture by improving handling qualities as contrasted to the braided, uncoated fiber. NEOBOND Suture is braided for optimal handling properties, and dyed green for enhanced visibility.
