This MERSILENE Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W843, is designed for delicate soft tissue approximation in animal health and veterinary procedures where precise handling, secure knot performance, and permanent tensile support are required. Manufactured from braided polyester fibres and supplied in silver, the suture offers excellent handling characteristics, minimal elongation, and long-term durability.

The USP 5-0 suture size is suitable for fine soft tissue closure requiring controlled handling and accuracy. The 45 cm suture length allows precise placement and knot tying in confined surgical fields.

W843 is supplied double-armed with two S-14 reverse spatula needles, each measuring 8 mm. The reverse spatula point is optimised for ophthalmic and microsurgical applications, enabling controlled tissue separation while minimising trauma.

This suture is non-absorbable, unidirectional, and supplied without pledgets. Each sterile, single-use pack contains one strand, supplied in a box of 12, making it suitable for specialist veterinary wound closure.
