This MERSILENE Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F1722, is designed for permanent soft tissue approximation where fine handling, minimal elongation, and secure knot performance are required. Manufactured from braided polyester fibres and supplied in white for clear tissue contrast, the suture offers consistent tensile strength and dependable long-term durability.

The USP 6-0 suture size is suitable for delicate soft tissue closure requiring high precision and control. The 45 cm suture length allows accurate handling and placement in confined surgical fields.

F1722 is supplied with one S-14 reverse spatula needle, measuring 8 mm with a 1/4 circle curvature. The reverse spatula needle design is optimised for ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures, enabling controlled tissue separation while minimising trauma.

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.
