What are the advantages of monofilament Prolene suture W295H compared to braided sutures?
The Prolene W295H suture, thanks to its monofilament polypropylene structure, offers particularly smooth tissue passage with minimal friction. It also provides excellent infection resistance as bacteria cannot lodge between fibres, unlike braided sutures.
For which surgical procedures is Ethicon Prolene 2-0 suture with MH-1 needle recommended?
The Ethicon Prolene 2-0 suture reference W295H with round point MH-1 needle is particularly suited to cardiovascular surgery, general surgery for parietal closures, and plastic and reconstructive surgery where permanent tissue support is required.
Does Prolene 2-0 suture retain its tensile strength over time?
Yes, Prolene is a non-absorbable suture that indefinitely retains its tensile strength in tissues. This characteristic makes it a preferred choice for procedures requiring permanent tissue support, particularly in cardiovascular surgery.
