  • TYPES OF PACKAGING:

    • needle-thread-combination
    • precut lengths

  • THREAD DIAMETER:

    USP 6-0 to 6 (0.7-8 metric)

  • COLOUR:

  • CHEMICAL NAME:

    polyethylene terephthalate – polyester fibre

The fibres are produced by the dry spinning method. The stretched, slightly twisted fibre bundles are then formed into a suture by precision-braiding and tempering. The fibre is hydrophobic, i.e. it does not absorb water.

The material is coloured with a physiologically safe dye.
