This MERSILENE Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code R691G, is designed for permanent soft tissue approximation where precision handling, minimal elongation, and secure knot performance are required. Manufactured from braided polyester fibres and supplied in white for clear tissue contrast, the suture provides consistent tensile strength and dependable long-term durability.

The USP 4-0 suture size offers a balance of strength and control suitable for delicate soft tissue closure. The 45 cm suture length allows controlled handling and accurate placement in routine surgical applications.

R691G is supplied with one P-3 PRIME MP reverse cutting needle, measuring 13 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The PRIME MP (Multipass) needle design enables enhanced penetration control and reduced tissue trauma, supporting smooth, repeatable needle passage through tissue.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring reliable, non-absorbable wound closure with advanced needle performance.
