This MERSILENE Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code R844H, is designed for permanent soft tissue approximation where reliable tensile strength, minimal elongation, and secure knot performance are essential. Manufactured from braided polyester fibres and supplied in green for enhanced visibility, the suture offers robust handling and long-term durability.

The USP 0 suture size provides strong tensile support suitable for general soft tissue closure and procedures requiring durable, non-absorbable wound support. The 75 cm suture length allows comfortable handling and extended reach during surgery.

R844H is supplied with one MH PLUS taperpoint needle, measuring 36 mm with a 1/2 circle curvature. The MH PLUS needle design enhances penetration performance and control in soft tissues while minimising trauma, supporting precise wound edge approximation.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring dependable, non-absorbable wound closure.
